Christmas Message On Fancy Cards
Christmas cards improve yearly as Daily Staffer Hollice Smith shares one from a local funeral home that jokes about holiday excess and drinking hazards. The piece also notes Alabama towns considering a $1 monthly garbage fee for residences to fund sanitation, with Decatur rejecting a similar tax fed by a school bond issue, while Florence and others adopt waste taxes. Local crime reports, policing notes, and community updates follow, including a Limestone burglary case, moving jobs, and remarks by Senator Sparkman on Dean Rusk.
