Good Manners! With Christmas nearing —the time when we cele brate the birth of the Christ child, it might be well to take stock of our manners — our treatment of others. This is brought to mind by Nyssa’s upcoming Christ mas parade Saturday. The merchants are paying for 20 to 25 floats that will appear on Main street, leading the first appearance of Santa Claus. But the music (instru mental and choral) will be furnished by the Adrian and Nyssa school groups. It is easy to say we pay taxes, support the schools and they are obligated to support our civic enterprises — even when they take on a religious aspect as our parade is to depict. But are they? It is not a vital part of their education program — they get no credit for it — and in some cases it does work a hardship, or at least an inconvenience on the members entertaining us. Regardless of how small the group may be — or how little we appreciate their ability — let us say a kind word and give them a cheering hand for their effort. (If only winners were to be approved, Nyssa would have surrendered most of its athletic program the past year or so.) Rudeness can be displayed by being quiet! Cheer these boys and girls for their effort in our behalf — they don’t owe it to us! BRACKEN'S DEPT.
