On The Lighter Side Peanuts Snuffy Smith Blondie Hi and Lois Garfield Zits Dilbert Sally Forth Dick Tracey Crossword Fun By: Eugene Sheffer Henry Annie Mickey Mouse Donald Duck WHAT’S ON TONIGHT A Look at the Stars PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) If you are unyielding about making compromises, those with whom you are dealing will follow your lead and won’t budge an inch, either. If you want to get along, ease up a bit. ARIES (March 21-April 19) If you’re not on guard, some unpleasant responsibili- ties or duties not of your mak- ing are likely to become your exclusive assignment — owing to an individual who is an expert at passing the buck. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Be extremely diligent about not letting an incident arise with an individual you dislike. Regardless of what he or she says or does, don’t let it provoke you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Those who usually overlook and excuse your little foibles might not be so generous at this time, so it behooves you to be extra mindful of your behavior and what you say. CANCER (June 21-July 22) A pleasant relationship you enjoy with someone you like could be jeopardized if you neglect to show respect for this person’s views and opinions. Keep thoughts to yourself. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Don’t get yourself entangled in a commercial transaction unless you understand what you’re getting into and are pre- pared to handle all the ramifi- cations. What’s being offered could be misleading. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Be careful not to be drawn into the thinking of someone who is basically a negative individual and about whom you don’t know too much. You could be borrowing trouble that you don’t need. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Instead of encouraging those around you who are struggling, you could make matters worse by criticizing their efforts. Your comments would make for a very unpleasant day for all involved. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) You might wrongly think you need to play up to a certain person in order to get in his or her good graces. In reality, by not being yourself, you risk rejection quicker — and you may come off as a phony. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23- Dec. 21) The basic rules of the household could become volatile if handled in a dictator- ial manner. Everyone, from the least of them to the top dog, should be treated with respect and understanding. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22- Jan. 19) Opinions formed at this time might not be represen- tative of your usual fairness. The conclusions you draw are apt to be erroneous and cause you nothing but grief. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Handling the joint funds or resources for yourself and oth- ers might not be one of your better talents at this time. Indifference to details and care- lessness in distribution could lead to red ink in both cases.

Believer’s Christian Books & Gifts has material for Easter serviceshis wife, Julie, own the busi-ness.

On March 1, the Hyders celebrated their third year of owning the store. Hyder attributes their success to providing the best customer service to every customer.

“The purpose of the in-dependent Christian book-store is to be of service to the Church and the communi-ty,” he said. “We know that we have to be service-ori-ented. Service is our number one goal.”

Hyder says the store has grown tremendously in their listing of South-ern gospel CDs. “We have found a unique niche,” he said. The store has about 160 full-length CDs in stock and hopes to double that num-ber soon.

The store has a large se-lection of King James Bibles, greeting cards and certifi-cates and reference materi-als, and a good selection of large and giant print Bibles. Free engraving is offered with every Bible purchased from the store.

The store, which offers calligraphy and bookbind-ing services, has great gift ideas for Mother’s Day, Fa-ther’s Day and VBS.

The store has “started a special program designed to help churches save even more money by shopping with us,” Hyder said. “In addition to our customer appreciation cards, now, if a church pays by cash or by check at the time of pur-chase, we will give them an automatic 10 percent dis-count off their purchase(s).

“Some things are exempt, so if you have questions,

you are encouraged to call or stop by the store and ask Sara. Another new feature that we have added is what we call our surprise days...the reason that we call them a surprise is because un-less you come in regularly, you will never know what the surprise is...for example today, we had a no tax day, other days, we may run a specific item at a deeply dis-counted price or at our cost. And we are always clearanc-ing items to make room for more.”

For brides-to-be, the store now has music, inspirational invitations and gifts for wed-dings.

Hyder says the store has

many “really great new quality product lines that are priced to sell at $10 and under or very close to that for all occasions. One of the most unique items this year for Easter that we have is a ‘real’ crown of thorns. It comes from Israel and is made from the same type of thorn bush as the crown that was made for Jesus.
