Director Gilbert Tough congratu-
lated Keiper and the other officers
and remarked he hoped all would
accept the fact that election is over.
He said that new directors Charles
Nafus and Robert Emory would
responsibility to work within the
guidelines of the Department of
Education. He told members that
whether in the majority or minority,
they had a vote for better education
and they should use it.

do his best to fulfill his office and
congratulated all of the officers.

The soft falling snow, the stars
shining bright in the sky, squirrels
seeking haven from the storm, love,
peace and understanding — things
that go on forever — Christmas with
all its blessings, traditionally the
true significance of the holiday
season.
Christmas cards sent to loved
ones, cards wishing a joyous Christ-
mas; heralding the glory of Christ-
mas; Peace and happiness to all;
Tidings of love and goodwill — are
they the cards still being sent
today?
Out of curiosity, we went brows-
ing through area card shops down-
town and in the Back Mountain.
Being among those who gave up
sending cards to all but those who
live out of town (we usually send
them an annual letter), we were
surprised to find the hundreds of
different kinds of greeting cards.
There were racks after racks of
Christmas cards. Yes, there were
some of the traditional cards we
remember so well and most of them
were still on the racks, barely
touched.
There were many cute cards with
catchy verses - cards with Snoopy,
with Strawberry Shortcake, with
kittens, puppies; cards with modern
Santas and some with Mrs. Claus.
We must not forget the elves and, of
course, the contemporary cards,
bordering on risque with phrases or
verses which could be taken more
than one way.
Did these cards sell? Indeed, yes,
a clerk assured us. They are the
cards that go first, she told us.
In two stores we found cards
which we describe as “porno.” In
our opinion, they were the type
cards one might find in an adult
book store, not among a variety of
Christmas cards. We felt these par-
ticular cards were in very poor
taste!
Made of recycled paper, they bore
pictures and messages which
clearly defined their meaning. It is
rather frightening to think that a
youngster seeking to purchase a
greeting card for his mother, dad,
sister or brother could come across
these type of cards and since they
were Christmas cards, assumes
her to purchase.
The salesperson told us that the
verse, which in clear terms
expressed the attitude of many
people on Dec. 26, was typical of the
real meaning of Christmas to many
people in today’s society. That same
salesperson also said these cards
sell out long before the others.

and District Magistrate Earl Greg-
ory administered the oath of office
to Robert Emory and Charles
Nafus, newly-elected members.
Nafus,/ RD 5, Shavértewn and
Emory, RD 4, Dallas, replace
Daniel Hudzik and Thomas Wil-
liams on the board.
Hudzik, Williams, Jones, Tough
and Donald Jones formerly made up
the majority on the board with
Keiper, Noon, Wolfe and Mark in
the minority.
Although it appeared at the Dec. 3
reorganization meeting that Jones,
Jones and Tough are now in the
minority with Nafus and Emory
swinging to Keiper, Noon, Wolfe and
Mark, taxpayers are waiting to see
how the two newly-elected members
will vote at future meetings.
That told us something about
Christmas in our modern society.
Are these cards a reflection of
Democracy in America? Has the
spirit of Christmas become a farce?
Has the Christmas message of
Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward
Men become a thing of the past?
We believe not, but we also
believe that it is up to all of us to
hold to tradition while moving
ahead.
Will they be independent voters or
will they be “yes” men with one
side or the other? Will quality edu-
cation continue at Lake-Lehman?
, The answers to these questions
will be heard at future meetings
which will be held the second Tues-
day of the month at 8 p.m. In
various school buildings of the dis-
trict as announced.
President Keiper requested that
the secretary schedule at least four
of the meetings during the year for
the Ross Township Elementary
Building since none of the directors
reside in Sweet Valley.
