We thank our Lord for a won drous year. And for our mother and fa ttier so dear We thank Thee for all our joys, Our friends, our neighbors, and our toys. We offer Thee our plentiful bread, And all this year we have been fed; We thank Thee for our graces, to talk, to laugh, and sing; Jly gracious Lord, we thank Thee for everything.

For here Our President Lies Dead ' His lesson's taught But his speech unsaid. His Eulogy A thing of beauty Attesting to his eense Of duty. Oh! dreadful day! When time stood slill And an assassin took his life! And loft- Bercft- Hls children And his wife! The drums sounded And the sad music played The funeral dirge continued As the soldiers marched in pa rade. Tlie flags were lowered The church bells rang In the church assemblies The sorrowful choirs sang. From far aw ay Came kings and queens And statesmen mourners all And over our President's cas ket hung The American flag his pall. Please God! Let not his death be all in vain But the peace and brotherhood he so desired Of all mankind forever reign! Symbolized by the unquenchable flame! Left to venerate his soul his name! Lorna Groves. TRIBUTE TO A MAN The world slops In awe, He's gone, he is dead, Tom from this life by an assas sin's lead. "Why," comes the cry? what possible end?" "Do hates run so deep?' felt him a friend." "To "But tliis Is America," quotes a citizen In shock "Democracy's stronghold, the foundation rock." "In truth, we have differences, but we solve tlicm at poll'. Not with heinous violence that divides body and soul!" "Not what your country can do for you," he had said. Now he lies in state our Presi dentdead. Disagree with philosophy, or policies laid down But profane not his name, nor his martyr's crown He was sincere and humane, a man dedicated to task He gave his life's blond, is there more to be asked? That his soul rest in peace, as eternity dawns Dear Father, we ask for our President John. Rill Bagbv, Tulclake, Calif.

We thank Him, for our boun teous crops, And the turkey that we eat; Hoping He will hear our prayers While kneeling at His feet. We thank Him for our loved ones, Who make life worthwhile; Each morn when we arise, And tlie sun we greet and smile. So on this special day Lord, Our wants are so very few, We shall always honor Thee And give our thanks to You. C.J.H. WHAT HAVE I DONE, LORD? What have I done, Oh Lord, For all the ways you bless? What have I given in return For health and happiness? You gave me my very life, My mind and my every breath; And all the wonders of the world From my infancy, 'til death. You showed me how to walk, Among my fellow men; And when I was weak and fell, You helped me to rise again. I can't thank you half enough, Or make it up to you; Or what is the sacrifice, Lord That you would have me do? You gave me the moon and stars, And all fine things on earth: You have guided my footsteps Since you gave me birth. There are so many things. Lord, So many virtues that I lack; But in my humble way, Lord, I wish to pay you back. C.J.H. HISTORY REPEATED There's a new grave in Arling ton Where lies many of our nation's great. Truthfully, it's all because a man's Heart was filled with burning hate. History repeats itself once mora For less than one hundred years ago Lincoln was slain by a gun man's hand; Leaving a nation filled with woe. Garfield and McKinley have their place In the list of the tragic dead. Why should these lives be sacri ficed When many useful years lie aiead? Hate and vengeance are poison ous When allowed to live in a man; Forever growing until It ex plodes, And he has completed his plan. Mny tlie children of the U.S.A.

O'er buildings and spires, flags hang at half mast. To honor a leader, of men's des tiny. A peace loving man, John F. Kennedy. All over the world, men pay their respects. For his name and his fame, his greatness reflects. He gave us his life, had just one to give, So that harmonious, all races would live. He fought for peace and liberty, (o hold and keep democracy Helped nations oppressed, to fight tyranny. Fore'er in our hearts, tho with pain they are lorn, We'll love tins great man, for whom we now mourn. Kennedy s wife, too, we love and admire. Her gallant devotion, his works she'd inspire. His works will go down in his toric pages And his name will go on, down through tlie ages. , Louis J. Taucher, ' ltU9 Nuniti Street. Sunday, December 1, 1963 impeachment. More than any other person in the federal structure. Camp bell is the watchdog of your tax dollar, and when he barks, an alarm of anxiety and fear runs like a chill through the execu tive branch of the government. He has caught the federal de partments and agencies in all sorts of monkey business. In Nevada the Federal Bureau of Public Roads spent 1384,000 to build a clover leaf on an interstate highway in a desolate rural section occupied by four small ranches. The GAO investigation turned up the fact that the highway work also would make a house of prosti tution more accessible to trav elers. The joke about McNamara and Campbell stems from the fact that the Defense Depart ment gets more attention from the GAO than any other federal unit. Not because it is less effi cient than many other depart ments and agencies, but be cause it spends the most money About $50 billion a year is pour ed out by the Defense Depart ment on installations scattered around the world. The result is that Campbell and his men constantly are turning up such odd pieces of information as these; The Army spent $9.4 mil lion for 135 fire trucks designed to put out fires caused by the malfunction of missiles. It never occurred to anybody to test the trucks before buying them but somebody got around to it after the purchase. The lest disclosed that tlie trucks would not put out missile fires in their initial stages. In fact, it is almost im possible to control a missile eruption fire when it first starts. The GAO found that the Army, Navy and Air Force were making an unnecessary ex penditure of $2 8 million an nually because they could not agree on specifications for uni forms. Among the matters in controversy were the design of the waist of tlie trousers and the width of the belt loops. Tlie U. S. Weather Bureau maintained a hurricane warning station at Miami. Fla. So did tlie U. S. Navy. The GAO raised the question of why two branches of the government were performing tlie same function. As soon as the ques tion was raised it was decided to consolidate them at consid erable savings. The Air Force in one year spent $3.5 to send material by commercial air freight when it could have gone on cheaper transportation for less than $1 million. One item was empty tool boxes worth $10 each which were flown to Korea at a charge Family 4 r : UiliiH. UU LA J I BUILDING PLANS TLAN BOOKS ORDER FORM Herald and News Plan Dept.

Keep Storks Busy ret almost ever since she had her first child two years ago, and there have been a numher of prematuurcu reports that she was pregnant. The belief per sists that she and her husvand, Lord Snowdon, former photog rapher Antony Armstrong-Jones, would like a child in '64 to keep their little son, Viscount Linley company. Princess Alexandra in having her baby some 10-11 months aft er her marriage is following in the tradition of Biitain's royals who have their children early although in this century not as often as did Queen Victoria, mother to nine. Tlie Princess was married on April 24 this year to Angus Ogilvy, Scottish-descended Lon don businessman of the House of Airlic. She is known as Princess Alexandra, Mrs. Angus Ogilvy, since her husband has no title. Their untitled child will be, briefly, 13th in line of suc Refitting Tool With Handle Requires Careful York Ky MR. FIX Newspaper Enterprise Assn. There seems (o be little point in parting with a good hammer, hatchet or ax just because tlie handle is broken. Yet, refitting it with tlie first handle you happen to find in a hardware store, or, worse yet, the handle off of some other tool, will only leave you disap pointed with the result. The tool you bought original ly was carefully balanced; head and handle were paired per fectly. Therefore, picking and fitting a new handle is not something you can do hastily. Twin Brother Begin by finding a handle as nearly like the original as pos sible. Weight as well as size and shape should be considered. No handle will fit perfectly the first time you place the head on il. The head will go on so far and no more. Don't force it. Note how far it goes. It will leave a mark at that point. Use a wood rasp (o take away some of (he wood at (hat point. Work lightly. Try to re move the same amount of wood all around. Keep refitting the handle ami filing away excess wood until the handle fits tlie eye of (tie head with (he wood louching the interior surface all around.
