Donts and safety notes for holiday season
Fort Davis and Oviaide County readers receive holiday safety guidance emphasizing fire prevention with candles and Christmas trees. The text warns against open flames near decorations, advises safe light sets, and urges vigilance with children. A second section frames road safety as a sporting proposition, praising engineering and public efforts yet noting persistent risks and fatal accidents. It includes quotes on personal responsibility and cross-cultural understanding from Morris Marker.

A discussion notes that many epoch making inventions came from casual inventors rather than specialists. It cites Fulton, Arkwright, Cartwright, Morse, Bell as examples, and cites a United Press survey showing originality often outweighs mere technique. The piece argues invention may be born not taught and that opportunity favors the capable.
