By Vi LemburgFifty six meals were enjoyed at the

Christmas party held at the Sr. Citizens Center in Selby on Thursday, Dec. 19th. Becky Witlock of Java, gra-ciously volunteered to make strudels for this special meal. Becky, Donna and Gary McGee served up a good old German dinner of homemade strudels, sausage (donated by Deb Berens and Becky), and German lettuce salad. For dessert, Becky brought homemade caramels for everyone.

Pat Russell and Pastor Darla Had-rick entertained on their guitars as the

Good Old German Dinner Served

A large percentage of the progress that has been made on this remodeling project have been completed by the family. Jim and his father deserve the greatest share of the credit but I know that Stephanie had her hand in planning and getting a little sweaty herself!

The Kihne's have three boys, Tru-itt is a student at Mitchell Tech and Thatcher and Malone are students at Selby Area. The entire family enjoys a relaxing evening out on the front porch or enjoying a TV show in the new family room. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a full bath. Stephanie says there is also a "bonus" room up there that has a TV and they like to hang out there, too. In observing this industrious young family, I can't help but compare them a bit to the thoughts of Mr. Hoef's (mentioned earlier in this article), about working toward the betterment of the community, because I believe that both Jim and Stephanie are willing to step up and do their part.

guests were arriving. Darleen Zabel and Vi Lemburg joined in and led the group in signing good old Christmas Carols. A Christmas story was read by Darleen Zabel. Pat Russell and Vi Lemburg closed the program with a duet, "Oh, Holy Night", Anne Wit-lock offered a German blessing before the meal.

Betty Sieck and Nina Brockel dis-tributed the door prizes which were made up of Christmas goodies made and donated by several local ladies.

The party ended with several games of BINGO led by Deb Geary.

YOUR VIEWSFor a month or so lately I've made

a visit to Selby and other area towns. On one of my trips I heard a song on the radio (yes, my sleigh has a radio). It was sung by a group called the Oakridge Boys and it went like this.

I quote: "If it weren't for kids have you

ever thought there wouldn't be no Santa Claus or look what the stork just brought. Thank God for Kids. And we'd all live in a quiet house without Big Bird or Mickey Mouse, or cool aid on the couch. Thank God for Kids. There's magic for awhile, a special kind of sunshine in a smile. Do you ever stop to think or wonder why the nearest thing to heaven is a child. Daddy how does this thing fly? And a hundred other where's and whys. You really don't know, but you try. Thank God for Kids. When you look down in those trusting eyes that look to you, you realize, there's a love you can't buy. Thank God for Kids. So when you get down on your knees tonight to thank the Lord for his guiding light, and pray they turn out right.

Thank God for Kids." End of quote.

When a child sits on your lap and they tell you what they want, there's a special kind of excitement in their eyes as they impatiently wait for that gift.

This has been a difficult year for many, but we can always have hope as we look forward to the return of the greatest gift of all. That gift of a child born in a stable on a quiet night in Bethlehem. Our Saviour. That gift that keeps on giving.

Wishing all a Merry and Joyous Christmas and a safe and healthy New Year.

MILTON'S MUSINGS By: Milton Stiegelmeier, Selby

The Big Foot SagaWhat's with this big foot guy

anyway.Have you seen his tracks in the west

river clay.They found his tracks deep down

in the swale.This is definitely not some kind of

fairy tale.They called in an expert with very

fine credentials.He had all the tools, all the es-

sentials.

He took many imprints and he looked all about.

Big Foot's been here there is abso-lutely no doubt.

Many earth samples he carefully took.

And he entered them meticulously into his book.

Many were now beginning to be greatly alarmed.

They thought by Big Foot they could be seriously harmed.

This expert was from the private sector.

He was a very, very thorough in-spector.

The expert kept working and work-ing away.

In the sand and the earth and the dirt and the clay.

He was beginning to have this worry some look.

As he wrote all the facts into his book.

The people now were beginning to cry out loud.

As he continued to cast upon them this very dark shroud.

The expert said get a big supply of fresh raw meat.

Maybe instead of us this is some-thing he wold eat.

By this time the whole country was in a frenzy with fear.

They worried about themselves and relatives so dear.

This Big Foot had the country com-pletely undone.

Call the Govt., call the Govt.They will definitely put him on

the run.

The Govt. will take care of all this speculation.

They will at least make some kind of regulation.

The expert would now make the very final test.

Sop he turned his nose directly toward the west.

I can smell him, I can smell him, he is growing right out there.

Does he know there is a hog barn in the country almost everywhere?

It has been 20 years now and Big Foot has been a no show.

Where, where in heaven's name did he go?

We think with regulations the Govt. did Big Foot squelch.

They even stopped his awful, awful smelly belch.

So there is no Big Foot anymore.The Govt, has relegated him to a

very simple bore.

An environmental statement he had to brave.

This put old stinky Big Foot into the deep grave.

FishA boy is selling fish on a corner.

To get his customers' attention, he is yelling, "Dam fish for sale! Get your dam fish here!" A pastor hears this and asks, "Why are you calling them 'dam fish.'" The boy responds, "Because I caught these fish at the local dam." The pastor buys a couple fish, takes them home to his wife, and asks her to cook the dam fish. The wife responds surprised, "I didn't know it was ac-ceptable for a preacher to speak that way." He explains to her why they are dam fish. Later at the dinner table, he asks his son to pass the dam fish. He responds, "That's the spirit, Dad! Now pass the !@%^& potatoes!"
