TIS THE S E A S O N TO BE
HOLY: For some years now, Henry
Voges of Voges Feed & Se^4, 147
Sunrise Highway, Lynbrook, has
erected a Nativity crcche at his place
of business, using live animals in
the setting. This year the Miracle
of Birth was created, causing one
to stop in their every day activity
to senously ponder the Birth of
Christ. The sheep, that Voges pur-chased
from un-state New York to
use in the creche, gave birth to a
set of twins. The young lambs, long
used as a symbol of holiness and
purity in Christianity, have now
joined their mother and the other
animals at the creche in the adora-tion
of the C^iild. In the photos, Mrs.
Henry Voges and her daughter, Mrs.
Toni Langcl hold the two new born
lambs.

appearance of buildings in the Vil-lage

structures which have served us so
well in the past (which) have been
