Merry Christmas

"Christmas represents love and mercy... Christmas holds its place in the hearts of men because they know that love is the greatest thing in the world. Christmas is celebrated in its true spirit only by those who make some sacrifice for the benefit of their fellow men."

Calvin Coolidge on Good Health

As the winter progresses, try to keep warm, cozy up, and stay healthy. Remember Calvin Coolidge's wise words on health:

"Because illness makes us a liability to ourselves, our family and our community, we all have a personal obligation to keep well. To neglect the health is one of the most wasteful things a person can do. It is a violation of a moral duty... If we would all think and try to live healthful lives we would greatly increase the power of the nation."
