Letters to Editor Make Your Sabbath . complete h C HURCH Nazarene Church WINTER WOES ... By Sian Thompson Old Man Winter has been hard at it all over the country and fi nally found time to ship a sky full of snow over our Nyssa area with instructions to dump about 10 inches of the best conversation piece we have had this year. And down it came, slowly plug ging up streets and driveways un til things came to a standstill. Dogs were forced to stay in their own yards and hike a little higher on the tree. Chimneys puffed harder on their fireplaces below and children began dreaming of “no school today.” Down and down came the snow and down and down went the thermometer. And with each de gree it sank, the garbage can in the alley looked farther and far ther away. Streets became one-way tire tracks made by the fellow with • pioneer spirit and crossed fingers. Those who followed these new trails were faced with the perils of meeting an other adventurer coming the opposite way or forgetting to cross their fingers and ending up striking out on foot in search of a push or pull. Then came the sad moment in every man's life when his wife looked out the window at the snow - covered walks and drive way. It didn’t matter if he were snuggled in a chair with a good book or basking by the fireplace watching pro-basketball on TV. And excuses of “I might work up a sweat and catch cold” or “I’ll just get started and the sun will melt it off” may as well have been told to the living room chair. The rusty snow shovel moaned and groaned as it was unsnarled from behind the lawn mower and garden hoses. ♦ ♦ Cold Germ Happy ... The little cold germ chuckled with mirth at the falling snow and packed its tiny bag chock- full of sneeze - makers, cough causers, siphon tubes for starting noses to run and a can of sore throat. Then he spread out his map of people and planned a course of travel. Sometimes he would stumble over a shot of penicillin, but he would only get up. brush himself off and start out for an other X on his map. What fun ha had climbing in an ear and tickling inside a nose or twisting the sinus control valves in different directions. Having carefully studied the wonder drug commercials on television and seeing the strate gy used by his opposition, the cold germ was well prepared and side - stepped most sprays and chest rubs. His most fun came in making faces at the doctor during a throat examination. Some day this little germ will fall into a trap and will be imprisoned in a jar with a tight lid and set where all the doctors can walk by and make faces back at him. But it will have to be a cunning trap and not dare be shown on TV. ♦ ♦ George Phinney i s nobody’s fool. He has been storing all the winter cold he can in his base ment. He figures while everybody sweats in the hot sun next sum mer, he can simply open his base ment door and cool off! From now until Easter, the Methodist church will be holding two Sunday worship services. Morning sermons during Janu ary and February will be taken from the 13th chapter of First Corinthians. Next Sunday, Jan. 28, the topic will be “The Way of Patience.” Theme of Sunday evening ser vices. beginning at 8 o’clock, will be “Beliefs That Count.” CHRISTIAN CHURCH GROUP MEETS AT SHERBERT HOME Come-Double class of the Chris tian church met Friday evening at the Robert Sherbert home for its regular monthly meeting.

Compare this with other '62 cars and here’s what you'll find: many cars still have to check in for service every 1,000 miles; some every 2,000 miles; others every 4.000 miles. Only the cars from Ford need service only twice a year, or every 6,000 miles. When you own a '62 Galaxie or Fairlane, you don’t have to drive with one eye on the odometer to make sure you’re not forgetting an oil change or a grease job or other servicing. Ford’s twice-a-year maintenance saves you time, saves you money. Just one stop every 6,000 miles takes care of servic ing. You’ll go 30,000 miles between major lubrications, 6,000 miles between oil changes and minor lubrications. 2 years or 30,000 miles without changing engine coolant-antifreeze.
