A MERRY CHRISTMAS for mean Old Scrooge? SAID Tiny Tim remember? "God bless us every one." His piping Christmas carol has become the most heart-moving among all expressions of the Christmas spirit. Tim had noth ing material to give. Yet he gave the best gift in the world consideration. The best part of Christmas Is giving. This Christmas all of us can re-give to others the same handsome gift Tim gave by determining to drive consider ately. Who follows this rule gives much possibly life for someone maybe an uncrippled future for another. Sir and madam, everywhere, we wish you a Christmas gladdened by such giving. We know the satisfaction it will bring. For years, now, we've insisted that the first rule of the road for our own vehicles must be consideration for others. Our experience has con vinced us that consideration helps make highways safe. Few persons are genuine Old Scrooges of the road. Most of us don't want accidents. But sometimes one forgets for a moment and hang! Considera tion is a habit. It never forgets. Perhaps we should not for get, either, what a little con sideration did to revamp the original Scrooge. So let's say "Merry Christmas, Scrooge!" ... as well as "Merry Christ mas, EVERYBODY!"
