Letters to the Editor A Christmas Thought Dear Editor Christmas The mere sight of the word conjures up mam different ideas probably as varied as indi* viduals themsehes The un fortunate part is that manj people never really do under stand what this most joyous e\ent is all about and confuse it with a lot of commer cialism The latter »a? definitely not the case on the evening of December 14th Cher 100 people who filled the Chaffee Community Baptist Church can attest’to this The occa sion was the annual Chnnm as Music Program This year's program was a hit different for a number of reasons The Christmas story was beautifully narrated with a variety of musical selections sung b\ the choir, while a number of others par ticipated m the actual dramatization of the birth of C’nnst Following the story, all in attendance were in vited to come up to the front of the church and light a candle to signify their unity in Christ Tins was especially meaningful as a number of different religions were present The entire produc tion was under the auspices of the very capable Reverends Bruce and Sheme Chaplin The programs real climax Ovv-nvd whr\. :he new choir robes were ie-i cated to an indiv.djal wh:se presence was rr.issc-d this year I a— re: 6 m r e tc a good friend and neighbor ci mine - Helen Smith \When she passed away earlier this year, a fund The opinions contained in this cotumr. are those of the authors) and nol necessarily those of this newspaper Letters should be brief, legible and to the point The writer's signature m u st be ac« companied by an address and by a daytime phone number Except under highly unusual circumstances, the writer's name wilt be printed along with the letter Spelling and grammatical errors, and Inflammatory or inaccurate statements will be edited or deleted Consideration witl not be given to letters submitted to other newspapers or tetters not of general interest.
