May your 1957 happy, prosperous!

I set my watch last'week Fri­day by officiEd time and went into the open sometime before 4 p. m. to find whether or not I could feel, when aU was quiet, if the earth would wobble a bit at the instant (4:00 sharp) it reached the cheuige in its elliptical path aroimd the sun.

Qouds hung low, I could see no sun, fields were muddy. The earth seemed heavy. But I felt no wobble. Had there been one, three screeching blue jays which alighted in a nearby soft maple, already red budded, would have hindered my observation.

colors of an April bluebird, but the disposition of a kingfisher.

There is a penalty for false fire alarms. Does this apply also to an erant radio transmitter?

’The pleasant Christmas music being played in the post office is the result of the work of Post­master Richard Gavette, who used his own time, money; and equip­ment to instaU the loudspeaker and record hook-up.

HalcottvilleBy WOliam E. Orlffin

HalcottviUe, Dec. 24The annual Sunday school en­

tertainment for Christmas con­sisted of a pageant based on the Christ Child theme and was pre­sented Dec. 23 at the Methodist church.

Several Christmas dinners were held during the period from Sun­day through Tuesday of this week. Many family gatherings were en­joyed at the year’s end. The weather during Christmas was ex- ceUent. There was little snow and the weather was cloudy and mUd, making it possible to enjoy the parties.

Mrs. Ward ET Roberts has been iU with laryngitis.

Melvin Torbeck, teaching in California; arrived in HalcottviUe last week after an air trip and is spending the Christmas holidays with his wife and daughter. Mrs. Torbeck is the former Miss RosiUa Lattin. She is Uving with her parents, Mr. and Mrs: N. L. Lattin.

Mr. and Mrs. Osceu" Case of Bristol, Conn., spent the Christ- m£is hoUday in HalcottviUe as the guests of her mother, Mrs. Eliza­beth Bouton, and sister, ■ Mrs. MUdred Sperlmg.

Mrs. Stanley C. Mead and Mrs. Scott H. Clark are the Sunday school teachers in charge of the Christmas pageant which was presented Sunday evening.

Mr. and Mrs. Guy W. Numann and son, BiU, of Rochester arrived in Halcotl/viUe Friday evening to spend Christmas and a week’s va­cation with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. WUliam E. Griffin, Halcott-

WhUe the world celebrates next Tuesday as the first of the year, I beUeve that shortest Friday was reaUy the new year which length­ens minute by minute for sixmonths and in June reaches a top of 15 hours and 19 minutes of sun, whUe the shortest day knew only nine hours and six minutes.

♦ ♦ ♦When the blue jay serenade

stopped, I did a bit of ruminating. Suppose the world did not spin at better than a thousand miles per hour, suppose it stood stiU.

♦ ♦ ♦Then one side would have day-

Ught forever, no night. The other side would have been in eteirnal darkness, no light but the moon in two-week periods.

» * *Continual day at the equator

would have made too much heat for man and most animals. Life would have scattered toward the poles. On each side of the sun­light zones would have been con­tinual twiUght.

* » »I am satisfied with the present

state where I may eat part of the time, sleep pjot and dream dur­ing the remaining hours. There are many fantasies in this world. It is often a bit difficult to know how much of what we consider real is not and what we believe permanent is the opposite.

* • *The New Year has 12 blank

white pages upon which we can write what we hope to do to make 1957 the best of our Uves. There are no black spots on the new pages. They wiU carry whatever message I write.

« * ♦'n»e winter is a time to dream.

Do I worit aU the year, do I en­deavor to do something for my community, for my friends, for myself. Do I stay home. Do I go away. Do I fish or ski or hunt or travel, or work, or play golf, or kick someone down, or raise them up, frown or smUe, drive fast or slow, take a chance or be careful, lay plans or go helter skelter. There are a thousand avenues open. The choice is mine. TTie pages are dean.
