Remember how Paul Bunyan started the building materials industry with his sourdough flaplacks?

The leftovers were s0 tough and hard he shingled a whole l0gging camp with 'em. Trouble was he couldn't keep up with orders, sizes, c0lors, cash sales, charge sales, and what have you. Darn near went broke!

But Paul might be the biggest in the business today if he'd had Clary Datacomp's Lumberjac-l automatic data p'ocessing system. Does automatically allthings Paulwas tryingto do hisself. Things like Inventory control

Daily cash flow reports

Itemized sales volume reports

Automatic conversi0n to board feet, square feet, lineal feet, bundles, and other special units

Cash sales

Charge sales

Accounts payable

General accounting- payroll, aging of receivables, profit and loss statements, etc.

By golly, Paul would have made a pile if he'd had Lumberjac-|. Beats the profit squeeze, because it simplifies procedures, takes out human error, and saves a lot of time. No more going to the service bureau, either.

Clary gives you a choice of several convenient purchase and lease plans, with terms as low as $695. per month! You're luckier than Paul was, because you can have a Lumberjac-l system real easy. Why not look into it today? Just contact

HILE PRACTICALLY EVERYOI\E in tlecivilized world stops every year to make note in one way or another of the greatest of all hoiidays, Christmas, little thought is given, even in sermons, to the man on whom we rely completely for the Christmas story. When the story is told to wide-eyed young. sters of the birth of the baby Jesus, cradled in a manger, and of that heavenly chorus that attended the eventn seldom is mention made of the man who alone gave the world that treasure. So, every few years, in this Christmas editorial space, I try to tell again of that vastly interesting man to whom all Christmas celebrators owe so much: Doctor Luke of Antioch. I feel, to paraphrase the old, corny remark, that o'they havenot done right by our Luke." It seems nothing but fair that the man responsible gets at least honorable m*ention.

Who gave us Christmas? Iirho was it that discovered the shepherds on the hills near Bethlehem? Who gave us the picture of the 4.ngel who appeared to these simple shepherds to announce the coming of the King? 'Who alone, told the emotional story of the blessed Babe who was born in a manger in a stable where t}ese same shepherds found and worshipped him? Whatman has thrilled the souls of humans for nigh two thousand years with his sublime words: "And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will to men"?

BY JACK DIONNE

1882-1966

His name was Doctor Luke; Doctor Luke of Antioch. He was a Greek physician in his earlier years. And toward the end of his splendid life he wrote a long letter to a Roman scholar named Theophilus, concerning the birth, life, works and death of a humble Jew, the son of a carpenter. So it was that the most sublime story in the history of mankind came to us through the means of a long letter, written by a Greek, to a Roman, about a Jew. That letter is tle Book of Luke.

For in the Book of Loi", *U ""r, ,i"r", do we find the story of Christmas. There, and there only, do we get the inspiration for the ringing joys, the sublime inspiration that we call the Christmas spirit. We depend for our history of Jesus and the religion He founded on the four Gospels of Mathew, Mark, Luke and John, and the Acts, all in the New Testament. Mark and John tell us nothing about the birth of Jesus. Mathew does tell of that birth, of the wise men who came from the East and found the new-born Babe in a house in Bethlehem. But nothing about a stable, a man. ger, the shepherds, and the glorified angelic chorusl nothing of the things that gave us Christmas. Mathew, Mark and John were contemporaries of Jesus. Luke was not. He was one who came after, and who, perhaps a generation after the crucifixion, gave us the beautiful Christmas story.
