MONTPELIER. Vt, UP) — What
looked for a while like a $17,000
Christmas bonus turned out to be
a slip of a banker’s adding ma
chine.
The Montpelier Saving Bank &
Trust Co. sent out Christmas Club
checks to 171 people who faith
fully had banked $2 a week for
50 weeks.
But instead of $101.50, includ
ing interest, the checks were
written for $201.50. Officials ex
plained the clerk who prepares
the checks made a mistake.
The bank expects to get all the
money back. “We won’t have any
loss,” said Richard Marshall, as
sistant treasurer. “Everybody is
honest.”
TOUGH FELINE
NEW YORK, UP) — Just a whis
ker more and Gloria would now
be a tenderized cat.
Gloria is a pet at a Manhattan
meat market. One of the butchers
threw a chunk of beef into the
tenderizer machine and Gloria
went after it. Another employe
spared Gloria from glory, how
ever, with a quick yank of the
electric plug. It took a Police
Emergency Squad two hours to
dismantle the machine and get
her out.

SPIRITUAL
TRUTHS
GLEANED FROM THE NEWS
Coniribuied By
NOME GOSPEL HOME
The latest blow aimed at East
Germany’s churches has come
with the Communist authorities
ordering schoolteachers to drop
all church activity. Under threat
of disciplinary action, the teach
ers were requested to resign from
any church position they hold,
such as organist, choir leader,
Sunday School teacher, etc.
“It is irreconcilable for a teach
er to play the organ on Sundays
or to help with the church while
they are teaching scientific so
cialism in school for the rest of
the week,” the report said
What a call this is to those who
dwell in free lands. Oh, that we
might be more thankful for the
freedom we are still privileged to
have. “Stand fast in the Liberty
wherewith Christ hath made us
free. . . (Galatians 5:1).

peared today saying: “Commu
nists of Rome salute President
Dwight Eisenhower.”
A detailed declaration of the
Italian Communist Party posted
on the eve of the President’s ar
rival here went on to say the
Italian people placed great hopes
for peace in the recent meeting of
President Eisenhower and Pre
mier Khrushchev and that these
hopes “must not be deluded."”
The Italian people, the Com
munist poster added, “have not
forgotten that they fought along
side the United States, Great Bri
tain and France against Fascism.”
The posters were an about face

Hot Lunch Program
Our Hot Lunch Frogram will
commence Tuesday, January 5,
i 1960, and will continue until the
last day of March. Considerable
planning has gone into this year’s
program, and as a result of a
careful study of the previous op
erations, including the food prep
aration, storage, and general
costs, we have revised several
administrative procedures. W e
think they will make the program
function more efficiently. Our
basic menus were developed by
our Home Economist, Roberta
Beauchamp, and they are nutri
tionally balanced, wholesome, and
appetizing. Final details, includ
ing the daily menus, will be dis
cussed in the Report Card at a
later date.

Rockefeller Takes
Pulse of South
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
W. Va., UP* — Governor Nelson A.
Rockefeller is planning now to
sweep into border and southern
states before disclosing his Pres
idential intentions around the turn
of the year.
Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas and
Florida are being added to a final
pulse-feeling tour which already
included Indiana, Minnesota and
Wisconsin.
A fellow Republican Governor,
who,didn’t want his name used,
said he has a hunch that Rocke
feller’s decision will be against
trying to snatch the Republican
Presidential nomination away
from Vice President Richard M.
Nixon.
And from a Nixon rooter, Gov
ernor Harold W. Handley of In
diana, came this political ap
praisal:
“There is no question that if
he’ll bide his time, Rockefeller
will be President of the United
States. But this isn’t the time.”
