Dear friends,
Prior to the death of our late President
John F. Kennedy, the American funeral
tradition wa* being questioned. The
President's tragic death suddenly brought
home to our entire nation the sense of
bereavement - the need to mourn ■ the need
for lying in slate, for ritual, for procession,
as a catharsis for our grief. The need for the
American funeral tradition is now better
understood.

How Ykhi Save Gas: Adjust the
flame to the pan. Don’t use any more
flame than you need. Gas should burn
with a steady blue flame. A yellow
flame could mean the burner, is
clogged. Just lift it out and clean tho-
rougnly. If that doesn't make your
flame burn blue again, call Arkla. Call
us, anyway for more GAS saving
