It i the custom of the people to obserte i 4& the time, or in memory of the time when the Son of God made His adyen into the world. Turn to Luke and rea the second chapter, giving an accoun of Vis coming to bring peace and goo will, to all men. It is a good time tU settle all old differences where the5 exist and to begin the "New Year' right. How should we observe ' Christmas In memory of God's gift of His Son t< the world: It people would think abou it they would not want to drink an frolic and go into sin and unseemly con duct, but to observe the occasion as a time of worship; not reveling, but ir pious thought and sober conversation, When we send our Christmas gifts t< our friends we ought to think of God's best gift to us all. He gave His only begotten son to die for us that we mighi live in Heaven forever. Let us believe on Him, trust Him and serve Him. EVERY week The Sentinel receives one or two long advertisements from the Willys-Overland Co.. makers of automobiles and beggars of free adver. tising in country newspapers, and they want us to run these advertisements free under the guise of news articles. Their begging tactics always made us a little angry before, but this week they made us laugh. This week this com pany sent us a note which read as fol lows: " Understanding the national shortage of print paper, the Willys Overland Co . to co-operate with its newspaper friends in space economy, has made marked reduction in the length of its publicity articles. " And with this note came about a dozen la'ge sheets of typewritten advertising which would have filled up at least one page of The Sentinel, and theyv wanted us to print it free! "Co-operate!" We!. if that's co-operation, on account of the high cost of building automobiles, The Piclens Sentinel is willing to co-operate wvith the Willys-Overland Co. by ailow ng theI to give us a runabout instead )f a tourIng car.

Wants BetterTelephone Service I want to want to call the attention of those that are concerned in the tele phones of Pickens and Anderson coun ties or the telephones that connect at Pickens, Ealey an Liberty as central points. I think it best for the directors or stockholders of the various lines that connect with the above central points, should have a meeting called somewhere in the county to discuss the telephone service and to organize so we may get better service. If possible we can meet at Eakley or Piekens, which may be the best suited to all concerned. Letevery telephone line that goes out from the above places have a meeting, designate someone to attend such a meeting. I would hke for each one that is desirous of such a meeting to write me a card stating where you would like for the meeting to be held so I can call it at the place where the majority says. If you want to call me over the telephone my number is Easley 3503. Hoping this matter will be considered at once. thinking as I do, that the telephone service can be bettered. JOEL 11. MILLER.
