The trouble with most books is that their covers are too far apart. Timely hint: This is the time of the year to hunt your old resolutions and polish them up. Another kind of optimist is the fellow -who eats chestnuts in the dark, and this, too, is a chestnut, The Archbishop of Canterbury has been resident at Lambeth Palace, London, for seven centuries. He should watch his step or it will be moving day at last. “Key West is celebrated for having the only bread-fruit tree in the United States. Locally it is known as the “bakery”, but furnishes little competition for the bakers. A country’s guns seems to be the only gospel of reason today, but let us hope that they will not belch forth their de- struction until all pacific means have been exhausted, George Turner, sentenced to 10 years for burglary at Miami, Fla., had in his possession a book explaining the art of safe cracking, which he said was fur- nished by a “school” in California.

It was a hot night in June 1837 and they had to awaken the 18-year-old girl who came down alone, in her night-dress, in bare feet, with some loose wrap thrown hastily about her. Letter to the editor for advice on love, dated Dec. 28, 1711: “Mr. Editor, Iam a Footman in a great Family, and am in Love with a House-maid. We were all at Hot-cockles (an old-time Christmas game) last night; when I lay down and was blinded, she pull’d off her Shoe, and hit, me with the Heel such a Rap, as almost broke my Head to Pieces. Pray, Sir, was this Love or Spite?” Some 350 Miamians and a fair sprink- ling of Key Westers attended the wedding of Mr. Ike Wolkowsky’s daughter, Miss Edna, to Mr. Lipsky of Philadelphia, last Tuesday evening at the Nineteenth street tabernacle, and then the crowd surged over to Mr. Ike’s mansion for eats. They got the eats and also some rain. But a good time was had by all, even including Mr. Ike in his swallowtail outfit—Miami Friday Night. MERRY CHRISTMAS The Citizen takes this occasion to wish its readers and friends, and all ane people of this section, a Christmas season | of great joy and expresses the hope that) the people hereabouts will share their; happiness with each other. | The Christmas season gives all of us an opportunity to translate subconscious good wishes into concrete expressions of | regard’ and esteem. It serves the purpose of a-pause_in the mad rush of daily exist- | ence, during which we have, at least, one day for reflection and activity in the work of making life’s burdens less heavy to others. The Christmas season of 1936 finds | us in better circumstances, all things con- sidered, than the past years. Most of us are able to do something to bring the spirit of Christmas into other hearts about us. We should not fail to express ourselves by | trying to increase the happiness of unfor- tunates everywhere. Never forget that the joy of Christ- mas finds itself in the promise of peace and good will and that no individual can really have been the Christmas spirit un- less there is present within the person some of the peace and good*will so neces- sary to make this world a better place for human beings, AN OPERA STAR AT 15 Perhaps the most amazing success ever scored by a youthful soprano in all operatic history was that of Betty Jaynes, only 15 years old, who made her debut in the difficult role of Mimi in Puccini’s “La Boheme” at the Chicago Civic Opera House a few night ago. The young artist, whose real name is Betty Jane Schultz, is a Chicago high school girl and a pupil of Mme. Devries of her home city. It is not recalled that a child of her age was ever before en- trusted with such an exacting role by a major opera company, yet she was given an ovation which, according to one critic, ‘fairly shook the rafters” of the great music palace. This critic, Edward Barry of the Chi- cago Tribune, in a full column article de- voted entirely to the young star, said: “Her voice is surprisingly mature, with an extremely attractive, rather dusky, coloring to its lower register, and lots of freshness and youthfulness above that. She sings ‘easily, forcing her tones very sel- dom. Facing the huge crowd she betrayed no more concern than if the occasion were a school performance - out in her own neighborhood. “With care and luck, Betty Jaynes should have an amazing career. The wise guides who have taken her so far will Ree to it that that precious voice is not over- taxed. If progress continues at anything j like its present rate, at 23 or 24 she will be a great artist.” A NEW AUTO JACK From Paris comes news.of an inven- tion which should be hailed’ With en- thusiasm by the motoring public. It is an automatic jack to be operated from the instrument bpd of the aw bile. In case of a flat tire the driver may raise the wheel by simply pressing a but- ton. Each wheel is supplied with a jack in the form of a steel cylinder fitted with a double telescopic piston. When not in use the lower end of the jack is drawn up level with the axle so as not to reduce the road clearance. The advantage of having a car equip- ped with such a device would be greater than its mere convenience of operation. The jack would be there when it was needed. Thieves could not steal it, and neighbors could not borrow it. News from Lopdon tells us that Great Britain willistart two. huge. battleships next.year.. The reason given ‘is “because other powerful tidis, including the United States, either have started or au- thorized new dreadnaughts.” Aviation experts insisted that the money for the two warships, around $150,- 000,000 should have gone into planes, cit- ing the bombing of warships some years ago by Brig.-Gen. William E. Mitchell. The admirals, however, retort that only a battleship can fight a battleship and cites the fact that the United States continue to build capital ships, YOUR NEWSPAPER A MERRY CHRISTMAS BRINGS A MESSAGE Twenty centuries ago a guiding star...a star of hope promising much to expectant mankind . . . led three Wise Men to a lowly stable in the little town of Bethlehem. Twenty centuries, and today, as a world pauses, humble and shot with a glowing spirit of happiness, your newspaper comes to you asking that it may continue in its chosen course . .- tireless and unfailing service to you and your community. It is our wish that this newspaper, dedicated to the provision of news, leadership, education, and the sponsorship of moral and civic idealism, be permitted to carry into your homes, not for this one time only, but for an entire lifetime, this same spirit of unselfish service to all.

It is our hope that from this day you will gain the full measure of joy.

The logical way is to pay, monthly, out of income, an installment on the principal and the interest, ete., and thus, over a given period of years, pay off the entire mortgage and have the house free of all debt. It’s very much like buying a house and then renting it to yourself.
