.ow beautiful
is this occasion to remem-
ber the deeper significance
of Christmas .. the won-
drous gift to all mankind
born among us as a Little
Child ... the significance
of the inner peace and
security of those who have
found Christ in their
hearts.
Let us not forget the real
meaning of Christmas as
we enjoy the fellowship
of our loved ones and
friends.

Dear Laurette:
I want to let you know how
much my family and myself en-
joy the Tribune. We sure look
forward to receiving The Trib-
une each week.
I noticed a few months back
where the P-TA was in process
of sponsoring a Cub Scout pack
in Kerens. I sure was happy
about this because I know how
much we all have enjoyed the
Cub program for the past three
years.

I know if Cub Scouting gets
going in Kerens the Cubs and
parents as well will really have
lots of fun.
My oldest son Lonny just
graduated last week from Cub-
bing into the Boy Scouts. The
advancement skin Lonny and
Ricky are holding in this pic-
ture has duplicates of all the
awards Lonny received during
his Cub stay.
My youngest son Ricky is a
Bobcat; he just became a Cub
Scout last June.
I am Cub Master of our Cub
Pack. We have 67 Cubs in Pack
38. My wife is one of our 12
Den Mothers.
Well, before this letter gets
too long, J will say again how
much we all enjoy The Tribune.
Keep the good work up.
Yours Truly
