Glen lives at 3339 Crest, and works at the local Fire stone store.' i ' In The- Day's lews By FRANK JENKINS Up in Prineville a while back - the city council decided to try out , a. be-kind-to-motorisls project. So it Instructed the city's cops, when ever they found a meter With the, EXPIRED sign up. to put in a nickel. At the same time, they . left in the usual place on the " windshield an envelope containing : a coin card which the motorist was , supposed, to mall in to the city : WITH A NICKEL. ; Thus he escaped the four bit 'fine for overtime parking. It worked beautifully for a while. ' But As the novelty wore off The motorisls QUIT SENDING IN THEIR NICKELS. ' So the city fathers, sadder and wiser as a result of their experi ment In philanthropy. hnve scrapped the project. Hereafter th. mractlma not-lrof will Ko nrlrrH With the usual 50-cent fine. TiMa'n's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn, ' J still V. ' ' ' The Prineville city council's ex periment points a moral that is of considerable importance in the business world . and it Is a BUSINESS world that we live In. The moral Is this: YOU CAN'T SELL IT IF YOU'RE WILLING TO GIVE IT AWAY. ' Parking space Is a part" of the modern city's stock in trade. By selling It at so much oer minute and COLLECTING THE PUR CHASE PRICE the city pains rcve. , nue with which to pay its operat ing expenses, such as police and fire protection, street repair, etc. Looked at in that light, the col lection of parking fees is a strict ly business transaction. But whe-i business principles are not fol lowed that is to say. when It is left up to the customer to pay, w not to pay it assumes the snape of a Lady Bountiful gift. I expect that if a general mer chandise store left it uo to it" customers to pay or not to pay -It would find that a considerable number of them walked off with out paying. Human nature, you know, is human nature. That suggests another thought: If a business house s1iou;rl in augurate the policy of leaving it up to its customers to pay or not to pay. as they .chose, it would probably come in time to be looked upon as an EASY MARK, and too many of its customers" would fall Into the habit of waging off with the merchandise and not paying for it. I doubt if these customers who waiaea on wunoui paying would i properly appreciate what was be- j ; ' " ' ' ' !

"This magnificent redwood" Is one of man's last links with God." declared Anderson, "for It was a sturdy tree at the time Jesus was born.

The Express asked Britain's top designers If they had made, the coal. From Norman Hartnell. Vic tor Stiebel, Paterson and Cavanagh came back s unanimous "It Isn't mine." Yesterday, the Sunday news Paper, The People, said the dress gave fashion experts, "a sliock." . It quoted one fashion expert, who was unidentified, as saying: "It seems a strange blend of town and country- wear, and neither is the right thing-for a race meeting. You can't mix up court suede shoes and a suede handbag with pigskin gloves. And that hat seems most unusual."

Eisenhower said this Christmas is "brighter in its background and in its promise for the future than any we have known In recent years," and he continued: "I think . it is even better than last year and you will remember that Christ mas was the first one in many years that was not marred by the tragic incidents of war..., "May each of us strive to do our best to bring about better un derstanding In the world and may the Infinite peace from above live with us and be ours forever and may we live In the confident hope that It will come."
