The Good Book tells a story o[ a
man,
You know his name, The Good Sam-
- arita.n;
He found a needy one in sore dis-
tress;
He stooped and whispered words of
kindliness.
He took time off and brought him
to an inn,
And said, "I'll pay you when I come
again."
Two others passed that way, and
saw him there -
They lacked the human touch -they
didn't care.
We have newcomers in our town
today;
They are from other lands., far, far
away,
Willing to work and learn our
language too.
But crave a kindly word from me,
from you.

Are we helpers, or do we just PASS

TAKE A HINT, DAD!
Dear Santa: -
This coming Christmas Eve
Will you be kind enough to leave

Some duplicates for dad, that he
May tinker with his owns and play
As fathers will on Christmas Day?

For days and days to celebrator
