(tntmatinnau VETERANS’ COLUMN By F. R. LEAGANS Service Officer Two important deadlines for North Carolina veterans are at hand. The first affects those veterans who have service-connected dis abilities of 50 percent. They have until December 1 to submit evi dence of relationship and depen dency to qualify for dependency allowances effective on that date. Formerly this benefit was restricted to those with 60 per cent disabilities. Veterans who can qualify for this benefit should not assume that their records with the fed eral government are complete in this respect. An assumption of this kind, in error, could mean that payments would not become effective until date the evidence! was received. Once veterans ad ministration has information that veterans are claiming dependents such veterans have five months to prove such relationship. The second deadline affects veterans with service-connected disabilities who permitted their national service life insurance to lapse. Veterans have until De cember 31 to reinstate their in surance without having service- connected disabilities counted against them. Veterans can obtain application forms from F. R. Leagans, 134 South Main street, Mocksville, Davie county veterans service of ficer, who has been advised of these important deadlines and is ready to assist veterans in meet ing them. World War II veterans are also reminded that the deadline for filing application for dividend paymenU on their war-time in surance policies is drawing near Veterans are urged to support their service organizations which have been instrumental in ob taining the benefits which are administered by the Veterans ad- nninistration. , Veterans of Foreign Wars meet each first and third Thursday and the American Legion meets on the last Friday in each month.

What is the origin of this beloved figure of Christmas? Saint Nicholas Santa Claus is the patron saint of Christmas and the most beloved figure in the legends of childhood. The mod em mythical Santa Claus developed from the real person .Saint Nicholas. Saint Nicholas was the youngest and one of the kindest Iri8h<^ in the history of the Roman Catholic Church. During the Middle Ages he gradually ibecame the patron saint of schoolboys. European school- 1x>ys celebrated his feast day on December 6 by electing A boy-bishop. Dressed in magnificent robes, the boy-bishop led a parade which wound through the narrow streets and aometimes entered the churches. There was much feast ing but on the whole the occasion was solemn. Later this custom died out .although Nicholas still remained the favorite saint of children. In Belgium and The Netherlands both young and old still celebrate his feast day. A person representing the saint and wearing the robes of a bishop rides through the streets on a white donkey. Saint Nicholas is kind, but h6 is also strict. If Hans and Katrina have been good children they find gifts in their wooden shoes. But bad children find only a bun dle of switches in their shoes. Custom Brought to Amcrica Children loved Saint Nicholas and his habit of bringing gifts so much that the custom of celebrating his feast day did not die out. The Dutch settlers in America brought the custom with them to New Amsterdam (now New York city). English settlers in America eagerly borrowed the legends and festivities surrounding the kindly Saint Nich olas. English speaking children tried to pronounce the Dutch name for the saint, San Nicholas. But they said it quickly and excitedly, and soon the name changed to Santy, or Santa, Claus. _____Only-American-children-say-Santa-Claus,-and-even-in America during the first half of the 1800’s, the saint wsis still known as Saint Nicholas or Saint Nick. In 1809 Wash ington Irving wrote of the saint as the guardian of New York city in his “Knickerbocker’s History of New York.” He described him as a jolly fellow with a broad-brimmed hat, huge breeches, and smokng a long pipe. Irving’s Saint Nicholas rode over treetops in a wagon. He took presents from his pockets and dropped them down chim neys. “ ’Twas the Night Before Christmas” In 1822 Clement C. Moore wrote for his children the poem. “A Visit From Saint Nicholas,” which gives a more familiar picture of the saint aa we know him today. But even in this poem, which begins with the familiar line, ••Twas the Night Before Christmas,” the name of Santa Claus does not appear. But the saint ha-s become a round and jolly figure with twinkling eyes, a red snub nose, and a white beard. The long pipe has become a stump of a pipe, and his wagon has become a sleigh. His Dutch costume has changed to a suit trimmed with fur. At some point, also, the legend developed in America that his sleigh was pulled by reindeed. The reindeer appear in Moore’s poem. Probably Scandinavian settlers in America added this de tail to the story. Thomas Nash, the, cartoonist, gave the first picture of Santa Claus as he is imagined today in a cartoon, in 1863. Later his famous drawing “Santa Claus and His Works,” which appeared as a Christmas picture in “Harper’s Week ly” in 1866, showed Santa Claus in his workshop with his record of good and bad deeds of all children. The drawing also showed the sleigh with the reindeer, the pack of toys, the stockings hung at the fireplace, and the Christmas tree. Father Christmas In other countries, Saint Nicholas has taken other forms. Many English children believe in a Father Christ mas, who brings them gifts, To them lie is a geritleman di'sssed in a long tail coat and a squarish beaver hat. Ger man children speak of Kris Kringle and French children of Pere Noel (Father Christmas). But to all children in ail Christian lands, he stands for the same thing, the kind ly tlwk the Christ Child broug)\t Into world, FRIDAY, ОЕСЕШЕВ 2, 1949 MRS.

C. J. Angell Appliance Co. Phone 259-J Mocksville, N. C. Phone 77 Mocksville, N. C. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2,1949 THE MOCKSVILLE (N. C,} ENTERPRISE Monthly Benefits Exceed $50 Million Under Old Age, Survivors Insurance ‘‘Many Amci-ieans on Thanks giving day, 1949, are thankful for thp social security act*\vhich pro vides a foundation on which, working together, many have be gun to build security against risks which very few can meet alone.” Tms statement was made today by Mrs. Ruth G. Duffy, manager of the Winston-Salem social se curity officc. Social security programs have great significance, Mrs. Duffy pointed out. They have given most familes a minimum of pro tection which helps them to build their own security. This minmum protection, far from discouraging self-reliance and Initiative, en- 'courages them since it gives fam ilies hope where many had noth ing but despair and fear; it gives them a basis for planning and building for the future, secure in the knowledge that unpredicta ble disasters will not tear down what they have built. Mrs. Duffy further explained that the old age and survivors insurance program of the social security act in safeguarding fam ilies and individuals, protects and conserves the biggest asset of any nation, its human resources. When people are free from want and fear, they are better able to uke advndige of opportunities, de velop their talents, become more responsfbte citizens, and make greater contributions to society as a whole. Also by safeguard ing Income, old-age and surviv ors Insurance contributes to the smooth running *of our economic system. This system depends on the even flow of production and distribution and consumption of goods and services, and this even flow In turn depends on the abil ity of American families |to buy the products of industry. Social security payments help to main tain this buying power In spite of risks which would otherwise cut off Income. Today, more than 2,s00,000 men, women and chil dren are receiving a total of $90,- '631,000 a month In old-age and .survivors insurance. “Benefits cannot be paid until applications are filed with the social security administraton,” Mrs. Duffy sad. The office which serves Mocksville and Davie county Is located in Wlnston-Sa- ~lem at 437 Nissen building. All services offered by this office are free.

For the first time two doctors! have conducted a controlled scientific test which yielded posi-' tive results in the treatment of colds in early stages. The De cember Reader's Digest reports, in an article by Paul deKruif, that Dr. Charles O. Sweet and Dr. J. J. Arminio have published a pa-' per describing the outcome of their tests on a group of 311 men: at Sing Sing Prison, Ossining. N.' Y. They selected the antihista- minic Neohetramine because It did not producc dangerous side effects. One third of the subjects were given blank tablets, one third were treated with tradition al old-fashioned method, and one third with the new drug. The lucky ones who received Neohe tramine within 24 hours averaged slightly more than one day's ad ditional duration of cold, while 'tlie~ofher groups averaged the each month at the courthouse, second floor, at 12:30 p.m., and in Cooleemee on the same date at the Erwin Cotton mills office at 11 a.m. customary five to six days sick ness. Another test conducted by the same two doctors at Maryknoll Convent and MaryknoU Semin ary, near Ossining, showed the preventive power of the sntihis- tamlnlc. Of the group receiving blank pills, some 80 per cent de veloped one or more colds. Only 9 per cent of the group which re ceived the prophylactic doses two or three times daily develop ed colds at all, and most of these were mild. The Federal Food and Drug Administration has recognized the safety of Neohetramine and now permits Its over-the counter sale direct to the public without prescriptions. If you use It with in the first 24 hours, you have an excellent chance to kill your cold days ahead of schedule and to cut down the sneezing and coughing that spread the virus to others.

COTTON REFERENDUM Cotton farmers throughout the county will be receiving notices this week of the national cotton marketing quota referendum scheduled for Thursday, Decem ber 15. On that date, “eligible” voters will go to the polls in^every cot ton growing community in the United States to decide if mar keting quotas ar(i to be used for the 1950 crop. A two-thirds ma jority of those voting is required to approve quotas. The Davie county office of the Production and Marketing ad ministration defines an eligible voter as any person who — as landlord, tenant, or sharecropper —had an interest in a crop of cotton produced in 1948. Only one vote may be cast by each eligible producer, however, even though ho may have had an in terest in cotton grown on more than one farm.

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE Large Crowd Attends Christmas Program Santa Claus was literally mob bed here last Friday night by hundreds of enthusiastic children. From the moment he was first sighted aboard the local fire truck until he was whisked away by the highway patrol, Santa was surrounded by cliildren who bom barded him with^their desires for Christmas and offered to him their Christmas list; The crowd arrived early for the program, which was a little late in getting started. The peo ple wore welcomed to Mocksville by its gonial mayor, John E. Dur ham, who pleaded for continued cooperation of all the people to assure continued progress. D. J. Mando made a short opeech of welcome on behalf of the mer chants of Mocksville who spon sored the program. Entertaining Pragram Musical selections by the col ored choir of the local churches, under the direction of Rev. R. A. Massey, and the singing of a few Christmas carols by the entire group, bing led by C. H. Tomlin son, comprised the first part of tho program. G. H. C. Shutt, performing as Dr. I. Q., the mental banker with the assistance of Mrs. Christine W. Daniels, provided cash rewards to those of the group who cor- vcctly answered questions. The participants wei-e selected for this contest by the drawing of names that were dropped into a box. Santa Arrives Around 7 p.m. the quiz pro gram took a back seat when San ta Claus was sighted coming into town from the direction of Win-' ston-Salem, escorted by Highway Patrolman Greene. The city of Mocksville sent the fire ti’uck to the city limits and met Santa and brought him into town aboard this truck. Closely folk>wing be hind Santa was another truck, containing over 2,000 bags of treats for tbe kiddies. The throng closed in upon Santa before he reached the square. It is estimated that Santa per sonally talked to over 2,000 chil dren during his hour’s visit to Mocksville. The old fellow ap peared to be in a very jovial mood and his promises made many chil dren happy. The entire truck load ot treats was distributed to the children, who made their way in disor ganized lines to the truck. Well Pleased After the departure of Santa Claus the crowd quickly broke up and departed. Mr. Shutt and Mrs. Daniels continued their quiz program for the remaining peo ple until their cash awards,were exhausted. Stores remained open through out and after this program re ported many visitors and a few shoppers. All the merchants and the people appeared well pleased with the results ol the program. Wade Wa'ker, star tackic of Oklahoma's unbeaten and untied football team, has been honored many times during the past year. However, last week he was paid two of the highest honors given by football. He was chosen on the Associated Press 1949 All- American team ond, second, was named lineman of the week for his “wonderful game” against the Oklahoma Aggies. Wade Walker is the youngest son ot Mr. and Mrs. G. G. Walker, formerly of Mocksvillc, who now reside in Gastonia. He is the nephew of George Hendricks and E.'G. Hendricks of this city. Hotel Fire With the mentioning of Wade Walker, the thoughts of many citizens in Mocksville will wan der back to the night of October 30, 1930, when a disastrous fire demolished the Mocksville hotel, operated by Mr. and Mrs. Walker. It will be recalled that when the fire was discovered, it had made such headway in thé frame struc ture tlMt_the, JT«lker family bare ly escaped with their lives. On this night Wade, who was seven years old, and his 14-year-old brother, Everette, were asleep in a room on the second floor and when aroused it was with great difficulty that they made their way down the starway and out of the burning building. Everette was cited for his heroism in risk ing his life in returning and car rying his younger brother, Wade, out of the burning building.”Both boys were severely burned and remained in critical condition at Long’s hospital in Statesville for several weeks before finally re covering. Sometime after this tHe Walker family moved to Gastonia or Cherryville, where Wade gained all-state recognition for his foot ball exploits with Gastonia High school. To Oklahoma During World War II, while in service, Wade played football un der the tutelage of Jim Tatum, former University of North Car olina star and present head foot ball coach at the University of Maryland. When Tatum was named head football coach at Oklahoma a few years ago he carried Wade Walker and several other members of his former great service team to Oklahoma with him. Tatum served only one year as coach at Oklahoma, but posted a great record and accept ed a similar position at Mary land. • Wade Walker and his former service buddies remained at Oklahoma and for the past four years have been one of the great est football teams in the country. This season Oklahoma has swept through the season undefeated and untied to rank with Notre Dame and Army as the top teams of the nation. Wade was named to several all- American teams his sophomore year, and was honored by his team-mates by being named co captain of the 1948 Oklahoma team. This year Wade has been almost a unanimous choice on almost every all-American team. 80 In Attendance At Rotary Farmers’ Night Honorable L. Y. Ballentine, North Carolina’s Commissioner ot Agriculture, called on his “fellow farmers” and ‘the city cousins” to work together and solve the problems of agriculture. “The problems of agriculture can not be solved by the farmer alone, but by the cooperative effort of every thrifty citizen. You just can't get away from the import ance of working together,” stated Mr. Ballentine. Mr. Ballentine delivered the main address to the annual “Far mers’ Night” of the local Rotary Club held at the hut Tuesday night.

FARM NEWS Cost of Depression Prohibitive, S-iys Brannan Failure lo preserve prosperity —resulting in an pconomie col lapse like that of tlie thirties— would cost the world nol less than 800 billion dollars in terms of lost production, Secretary ot Ag riculture Charles F. Brannan re cently told the National Grange convention in Sacrameto, Calif. Pointing out that the problem of the United States is “abun dance,” Secretary Brannan said that our farms now produce about 75 percent more than in 1910 and nearly 40 per cent more than in 1935-39. Industrial output is up even more. In spite of advances in produc tion, however, many families have incomes that arc too small. In 1948, one-fourth had total in comes of less than S2,000. This poses the problem of adjusting production to wants and of mak ing sure that American consum ers have enough purchasing pow er to buy what they need for healthy and efficient living. In the abscncc of pricc supports, the secrolary said, agricultural pro duces hnve loss control over prices than any other producing group. Declines of farm buying power, furthermore, give the first warn ings of depression. Farm' priccs and farm net income feel the im pact first and to the greatest de gree, and this impact is soon transferred to their segments of the national cconomy. Regarding the level at which farm income should be stabilized. Secretary Brannan rejected the “stop-loss” theory, whereby the government would do no more than prevent the price ot a com modity from falling below the cash costs of producing that com modity. Such a level of support, he said, would provide no return at all tor the farmers’ labor and nothing for farm living expenses, and would not even have been in effect in 1932—the worst year of our history. Even in that year, gross farm income exceeded pro duction expenses and left a net incomc of 1.8 billion dollars to cover the farm family's labor and lo provide family living e.xpensos. A farm price program, Secre tary Brannan said, should serve two specific ends—prolcct farm ers from having to take whatever return the market price offers, no matter how low, and protect consumers wilh an adequate sup ply of farm commoditie.s in de pressed as well as prosperous pe-- riods.

Many textile workers have reported the wonderful relief which has been broughl_Jthe.m—by- HADACOL with its five B vitamins and four important minerals. Two of these workers, a young father employed by the great Cannon Mills at Kannapolis. N.C., and a mother, working at a mill in nearby Salisbury,N.

C, i ’ i is 30 years old Mr. Bamhardt and the proud father of two children. Kis work in me Cannon Mills calls for a great deal of standing up. "I had been ill for aeveral years," said Mr. Bamhardt as he explained how close he came to having to give up his work. “I suffered with a weak stomach. It became worse and worse with gastric disturbances. I just could not hold food and no food agreed with me. I could not sleep and finally I became so sick that my legs got weak as I worked in the mill each day.” Mr. Bamhardt, like so many aufferei*s, had tried many preparations without relief, when he heard about HADACOL. “After the second bottle ti HADACOL 1 began to feel better and to regain the weight 1 had lost," said Mr. Bamhardt. “My digestion became normal again and today I am as well as ever. My legs no longer bother me. I eat and enjoy my food. I sleep well and have plenty of energy.”Mr. Barhhardt has taken several bottles of HADACOL and now takes the famous vitamin and mineral preparation to help stay well. He has had his wife take it with wonderful results and has recommended it to his friends in the mill.•Mrs. Maggie H. Poole,. 1503 Caroline Avenue, in Salisbury, N. C., luid become so ill that she was forced to give up her work but soon after hearing the wonderful news about HAD.'VCOL she was back on the job and has been doing swell ever since.“I was tired, weak and nervous,” said Mrs. Poole. "I suffered indigestion and food didn't agree with me. 1 also had headaches. After taUinR five bottles of HADACOL 1 felt good and was back on the job at tbe mill. I had tried so many things that the HADACOL news was a real blessing to me. I have moi'e appetite and eat what I want to. 1 feel better than I have in a long time.”Mr. Bamhardt and Mrs. Poole were both suffering from a lack of B vitamins and the minerals which HADACOL contains. HADACOL comes to you in liquid JIntm. easily asiiimilated in theblood stream so that it can go to work right away.A lack of only a small amount of B vitamins and certain minerals will cause digestive disturbances ... Your I food will not agree with you I You will I have an upset stomach . • •You will suffer from heartburn, gas pains and your food; w i 11 s o u r on your stomach and you will not be able to eat the things Mr» la you like for fear of being in misery afterwards. Many people also suffer from constipation. And while these symptoms may be the results of other causes, they are surely and certainly the signs of lack of B vitamins and minerals which HADACOL contains. And if you suffer from such a deficiency disorder, there is no known cure except the administration of the vitamins and mineral, which your system lacks.It is easy to understand, therefore, why countless thousands have been benefited by this amazing tonic, HADACOL.So it matters not how old you are or who you are ... it matters not where you live or if you have tried all the medicines under the tun, give this wonderful preparation HADACOL a trial. Don’t go on suffering. Don’t continue to lead a miserable life. Many persons who have suffered and waited for 10 to 20 years or even longer, are able now to live happy, comfortable lives because HADACOL supplied the vitamins and minerals which their systems needed. Be fair to yourself. Temporary relief is not enough for you. >3ive HADACOL a trial!Insist on the genuine HADACOL. Don't be misled. Accept no substitute.Sold at all leading drug stores. Trial size only $1.25, but save money; buy the large family and hospital size, only $3.50. If your druggist does not handle HADACOL, order direct from The Le- Blanc Corporation, Lafayette, La., and when the postman brings your package just pay the amount plus the c. o. d. and postage. If you remit with the oraer we will pay the postage.Then, if you donH feel perfectly satisfied after using HADACOL as directed, just return the empty carton ana your money will' be cheerfully re fundad.

Duffy, manager of the local Social Security office. ‘It’s the first thing the store peo ple will ask you for. “If you have had a Social Se curity card, but have lost it, you had better get a duplicate card now. Don't wait until you apply for work.” Mrs. Duffy continued “It you have married and changed your name, be sure to notify the Win- ston-Salem office. We will issue a new card to you, one that shows your new name and your old orig inal number. And, of course, if you have never had a Social Se curity account number, you can ■obtain your card in -our-office;” “Employers can save them selves and our office a lot of both er if they demand to see the em ploye's Social Security card. Memory can play a lot of tricks. Employers should report the name and number exactly as they are shown on the card.” Remem ber, a Social Security card is the key to your insurance account with the federal government. Do your part and make sure that all ot your earnings are credited to your account by furnishing your card and number to all of your employers.” The Winston-Salem Social Se curity office is located in Room 437 of the Nissen building.

All that existed of the Duke Power Company was on idea in the mind of a young en gineer, battling floods and skepticism. This idea and these problems came to the atten tion of a man whose lifetime of achievement enabled him to back a young man’s dream. Envisioning his native Piedmont made prosperous through plentiful and low-priced pbw- er, he joined vision and fortune with engineering genius. In less than two decades hydro electric power proved inadequate to the demands of the awakened Piedmont.

Entered at the Post Ofllice at Mocksville, N. C., as Second Class Matter Under Act of Congress of March 8, 1879 EXAMINE YOUR GOVERNMENT To the great majority of citizens in this world of today the word “politics” has taken on a meaning which has no xightful place in the thinking of a great democratic mind ed people. Indifference, apathy ,and finally just plain ig norance are the root causes for the dreadful implications which have become attached to the word “politics.” As a result, individually and collectively, we shudder at the very thought of the word and shun any activity which we feel might bring us in closer contact with the word or anyone engaged in “politics.” What Is it we are afraid of? Webster’s New Internation- «1 Dictionary defines the word “politics” as “the science and art of government; the science dealing with the organlza- ti(Hi, regulation, and administration of government In both its internal and external aflalrs.” If “politics” Is a science then we must educate ourselves and the great mass of our citizenry In the use of this science. There Is no fear In scl- enc, therefore we should not fear any activity which will combat the breakdown of our great democratic processes. It Is with these thoughts In mind that the project known as “Examine Your Government” or “Operation Economy” has been developed by the Junior Chamber of Commerce organizations throughout the country. It was developed solely for the purpose of awakening the citizens of the respective communities to their responsibilities as partici pants in the “business” affairs of their government. Only an alert, intelligent, militant citizenry can stop the ever mounting wave of “socialism” which threatens to engulf us from all sides. We must keep in “ACTION” a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. MORE ABOUT Rotary Farmers’ Night cessing of those farm products. "This is thc day of-oye appeal,” stated Commissioner Ballentine. “You can't sell dirty potatoes when the housewife is looking for something ready to put in a disii.” He urged everyone to give agriculture serious thought and energies, in order to provide the farmers with thc markets they :ieed. Full utilization of the resources of land and labor was urged by the commissioner. He praisidd what he termed as “marvelous progress” of Davie County in re cent years. “However, much land in this county is still not being utilized to the fullest extent,,, he said. Program Praised Commissioner Ballentine joined in with the farmers present in praising this program of the Ro tary Club. He agreed with S. D. Daniels, of Mocksville, R. 4, who requested that it be made a monthly affair, in requesting that this program not just ter minate that night, but that tho friendship and fellowship ex hibited be continued on into their | activities.

F. W. BULOVA THANK YOU, MR. MERCHANT The sleepy little town of Mocksville, as It is known in some quarters ,suddenly came to life last Friday night with a resounding Christmas party in which over 3,000 persons crowded the square to welcome and greet Santa Claus. This ~gala‘WaiT‘for-the-usual easy going, confeervative-Mocks-- ville was a great success in many ways. First, it was a success Because it accomplished its pur pose: That of bringing people from all sections of the coun ty into Mocksville and showing them that this town too observes Christmas. In the preceding years there had been some doubts as to this observance, excepting perhaps the obseiTance of a holiday. Second, it was a success because it provided entertain ment for all; treats for the kiddies, regardless of race color or creed. As cur democratic government, it was of the people, by the people, and for the people. Third, it was a success because it enabled the children to meet and greet Santa Claus. All that saw the enthusi asm displayed by the children on the arrival of Santa Claus an.-l consistently maintained until it was necessary to whisk Santa away, could not help but be touched. This program was appreciated not only by the children present, but by all the mothers and fathers that help make up the crowd. However, the greatest reason of all for calling it a suc cess, was the splendid cooperation displayed in making it possible. This program was actively supported almcst 100 percent by the merchants of Mocksville. Once the ball was started rolling, nearly every merchant and business establishment in the city responded and actively worked to achieve its i'ulflllmcnt. Putting aside the selfish atti tudes and fears of promoting business for the other fellow, all energetically and morally cooperated to make this pro gram possible. Such is the beauty of Christmas. That of realizing that true happiness comes from giving and seeing the enjoy ment of others,* The people of the county, the tovm of Mocksville, and the merchants of Mocksville, all reaped much from the program of last Friday night. It truly showed what can .be accomplished in a short time, with only a little planning, but with the unanimous cooperation of all concerned. We feel sure we are speaking for the people, Mr. Mer chant (and all the others who had a part of this program), when we say ‘‘thank you for giving Mocksville one of its biggest nights of recent years.” Such efforts, If enthusias tically maintained, will assure continued progress, and a throbbing and thriving commuoity.; • What fh$ W$ll-Dr9ss§d Tr$$ will b§ martog— L i CHRISTMAS THEY’LL iREMEMBER-i^ Come To Headquarters For U N I V E R S A L AND OTHER FINE'QUALITY ELECiRICAL GIFTS Yes, this year we’ve the Pick of Santa’s Pack —a veritable Treasure House of fine Electrical Gifts for very member of your family . . . the kind of gift that will keep the memory of this Christmas time for many a year to come!

A preliminary estimate by the county PM A office in MocksviUe indicates that around 811 cot ton growers will be eligible to vote in Davie county. D. B. Miller, county PM A com mittee chairman, says that 15 polling places will be set up in the county to make it as con venient as possible for all grow ers to participate. Meanwhile, work is continuing in the county office on data gath- ' ered from farmers during the past several weeks upon which individual farm acreage allot ments will be based, Mr. Miller is unable to say at this time when allotment notices will be ready for mailing, but assures cotton farmers that they will be advised ot their allotments before the referendum date. Marketing quotas for the 1S30 cotton crop were proclaimed by Secretary of Agriculture Charles F. Bannan on October 13 when it became apparent that cotton supplies for the current market ing year would exceed the nor mal supply by a wide margin. To become effective, however, quo tas must be approved by at least two-thirds of the growers voting in the coming referendum.

Hampton Rich, the man who put Daniel Boone trail markers from Manteo to Murphy and be yond, died at Duke hospital, Dur» ham, Thursday. He was 79. Early in life Mr. Rich became interested in the peripatetic ca reer of the great pioneer and hunter because, he xpiaind, Dan- il Boone’s parents were burtad six miles from Mr. Rich’s old home in Mocksville. In a crusade that was virtually one-man, he placed Indian arrow head markers from Virginia Beach to San FranciMo. He be gan his life’s work in MoksvUle in 1925, with only in hU pockets. ‘ When he returned from the Pacific coast six months later all the markers had been-ii^d for by memberships in the Boone Memorial association and Mir. Rich’s $25 had grown to $300. In 1945 he was clerk-librarian in the state senate. One other in terest in his life waa the Boys* Road Patrol of North Carolina, a safety-promoting organizaUon of which he became a director in 1915. He died of a liver complaint. He is survived by two sona and two daughters. Funeral services were conduct ed Saturday afternoon at Eaton’s church near Cana, Davie county. ~-Five-Duroc-sows-belonging to John S.

ENTERPRISE Industries Show Surprising Increase In Mocksville, N. C. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1949 (Appearing in tho Sunday edi tion of the Salisbury Post was an article concL-rning the indus trial increase in Mocksville dur ing the past ten years. This arti cle was written by Bob McNeill, a local boy, and at present a staff writer on the Salisbury Post.) ' After viewing the changes on the industrial face of Mocksville during the' past ten years, one might not'be far wrong to call it an “Industrial Revolution.” It’s too early to tell yet—but who knows? Industry is developing here in Mocksvilic, and new industry is moving in. Several years ago this would have been impossible, but times have changed. People who once fought for the status quo, against the factories are now watching industry move in without offer ing the slightest opposition. Many are not giving the indus trialists any encouragement, but at least they are not endeavoring to keep them out. So, quietly, without any ado or widespread publicity, a small but significant amount of industry has moved into this sleepy little town—and it’s still sleepy. It will take more industry than is there now to change that. This had occurred in the last 10 years and haa brought about no great change. But what will the next .10 bring? Perhaps an Industrialized city. The type of industry that has Boved in is typical of this section 9 l the sUte—and the South. It includes furniture and textUes, with flour producers thrown in. In all these industries employ ■bout SOO employes. That sounds ■M il. It is smalL But it’s not too bad for a town of approxi mately 3,000 inhabiUnts, which At Present Rate Town May.Become Industry Center '0 years ago employed about a courth that number of industrial workers. In fact, that is a con- 'iderable increase—that four- :'old gain. What this increase has done to the town’s population is not def initely known. At the last cen sus tho population stood at slight ly more than 1,800 residents. Some ;ay there are at least 2,300 living there now, but that is nol exact ly a conservative estimate. Two thousand seems to be more.cor- I'ect. At any rate, the population has increased, and rapidly, over the past 10 years. And this can be attributed chiefly to the immigra tion of industrialists and the em ployees they bring with them. If this rate increases and the indus tries currently located there ex pand—as they say they plan to do —the expansion and industrial ization will know no conservative limits in comparison to the de velopment of Mocksville to date. The red letter year for indus trialization in Mocksville was 1947. That year saw the initial operation of two large additions to Mocksvile industry. In fact, it brought there the largest in dustrial plant the town has now or ever has had—Heritage Fur niture company. Valued in the 100 thouunds and covering 11 acres ot land, it is one of the most modem'fumi- ture factories in the company, and its products are marketed through out the country. Producing house* hold fumituK in the “upper me dium price market," it has 60,000 square feet of floor space and is located on a site of 66 acres, which ties in well with the com- pany's future plans for expansion. The Heritage company also has factories in the furniture produc ing centcrs of tho state and the South, High Point and Morgan ton. Many wonder why a company as large os this would select Mocksville as a location for one of its modern plants. A company official explained it this way; “It is a healthy com munity, well situated for mar keting, enroute to Morganton (from the company’s headquar ters in High Point), with cooper ative city officials and citizens; we arc very pleased.’ Heritage plans to expand the :ize of its Mocksville plant to employ 300 people. When it first began operation in 1947 it only omployed "!5—a 100 per cent in crease in two years. The same year that Heritage moved into town the Monleigh Garment company 'began opera tion there, too. Owned by a corporation of three stockholders, it is headed by C. R. Blackwelder, and valued at $25,000. With sales offices in New York city, the company pro duces women’s and children’s pa jamas at a rate of 65 dozen per day. That is $2,000 in production each day. The company employs 50 em ployes and hands out a i»yroll of $1,000 each wek, most of which is spent in Mocksville stores. Plenty of Kea« Mr. Blackwelder said he came to Mocksville because there was no industry there like his. If that Is on inducement for industrialists to move there, there is room for plenty more. He says he likes Mocksville, intends to reman there and will expand his company “if condi tions continue as they are now."

All the industries illustrated here are new«, comers to Mocksville, and although they are small now, their owners say they intend to expand in the future. (Salisbury Post Staff Photos). , not expanded the Monleigh Gar ment company, but he and the other two stockholders have ex panded their holdings there. This Fall they organized the B & F Manufacturing Co., pro ducers of men's sport shirts at the rate of 20 dozen per day.

Mrs. Sarah Durham was ad judged to have submitted to C. J. Angell Appliance Co. the best statement as to “Why I Should Be Given a New 1950 Shelvador Refrigerator.”Wowever, she was declared ineligible for the local prize because her husband, John E.

The adoption of this resolu tion came after Lewis Alexan der of Elkin, Jaycee chairman of "Operation Economy” for the second district of the State Ju nior Chamber of Commerce or- ganittition, had' spoken to the club on this program.

They have been doing this an nually, about this time, ior sev eral years. As a matter of fact, these elections have bccome so commonplace that they are some times ignored by a large number of the eligible voters. This apa thy toward elections by Ameri can citizens is not unique with the farmer committeemen elec tions. But the elected-farmer- committee system for local ad ministration ot federal farm pro grams is unique. Farmers—through their local committeemen—have the unusual opportunity to help shape Fede ral farm programs, to sec that they are properly adapted to con ditions in their own communities and on their own farms. That is, they have this opportunity IF they participate in the election of committeemen; if, after hav ing chosen them, they keep them informed of problems facing their communities and give them full support and cooperation in the job of farm program administra tion. One of the best method» of in dicating support for this “grass roots" farmer committee system is heavy participation in the elec tions! Are community P M A commit teemen important in the scheme of things? Let’s glance at their duties: They provide local leadership in developing and supervising farm programs adapted to. the needs of their community; They fit programs to local con* dition* and recommend ImproTC* ments and additions suggested by UREY DISCOUNTS URANIUM EXPORTS ON YEAR AROUND BASIS G U A R A N T E E D M A R K E T W IT H P R IC E S IN L IN E T H E Y E A R A RO U N D Haiiling arrangements can be made on a Satisfactory basis IF Y O U A R E IN T ER EST ED , P L E A SE S E E CHARLES SEATS A T DAVIE FARM SUPPLY COMPANY M O C K SV IL L E , N.

Leagans, Service Officer Outpatient treatment lor serv ice connected disabilities is a very important benefit for World War II Veterans. It is also one of the least understood benefits. . Briefly, these benefits are sum med up as follows; 1. The Veterans Administra' tion will pay the Veterans local doctor for treatments of disabil ities which are service connected, even though the veterans are not actually drawing compensation for said service connected disa bility. This treatment is avail able for any service connected disability which would be com pensable if 10 per cent in degree. 2. Outpatient treatment is avail able for any veteran who is in training under Public Law 16, even though the disease or injury is not of service origin. For ex ample a veteran in training un der Public Law 16 is entitled to outpatient treatment for any in jury or illness which might hin der or interfere with his reha bilitation without exception. Out patient treatment includes medi cal and dental services and drugs and medicines when they are fur nished by the doctor or pur chased from a drug store on a doctor-s—prescription.-- Qualified veterans in need of outpatient medical or dental services are in vited to contact your county vet erans service office at 134 South Main street ,for free information and assistance. Next week's column will ex plain widows and orphans pen sion for World War 1 and II where the veterans did not die while in service or from a serv ice connected disability.

Beginning January 1, 1950, the Social Security tax rate for both employers and employees goes up to percent each. When a worker has Social Security tax es deducted from his pay he is paying premiums on valuable in surance. This insurance helps to provide financial security in the worker’s old age after retirement. It also provides for valuable in surance payments to the eligible survivors if a worker dies at any age,” Mrs. Duffy said. “In order for a worker or his suvivors to be eligible to reccive these insur ance payments, the worker's wage record as turned in to the govern- ment by his employers, must show that he worked under So cial Security a given length of time.” “The amount of wages credit ed to a worker’s account deter mines the size of the benefit checks that may be payable. So, it is to the worker's advantage to have credit on his wage record for ail his wages. If his wages arc reported under the wrong Social Security Number,” Mrs. Duffy concluded, “there is the possibility that the worker may not get credit for these wages and may consequently lose ben efits to which he would otherwise be entitled.” The Winston-Salem office of the Social Security administra tion is locatcd in Room 437 Nis- jen building. Office hours are from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Romans Besan Custom Of Gifts at New Year Some authorities claim that the invading Roman legions intro duced the custom of gift-giving at New Year’s time into England by ‘commandeering,’ a la Caesar, gifts and» sums of money from the populace. ' Medieval royalty, who. were tiot as wealthy as they were re ported to be, revived the custom .as a means ot replenishing the royal wardrobes, treasuries, and even larders. Queen Elizabeth re lied on the custom tor new petti coats, mantles, silk stockingf, bracelets, necklaces, precious jewels, etc. Peers, bishops, clerics ladies - in - waiting, physicians, «ooks, everybody contributed. Oliver Cromwell’s Puritan gov- «rnment outlawed the ctistom, but it was re-revived when the Stuarts were restored to the throne. Individual circumstances governed the gift-giving among ordinary citizens and since com mon pins were expensive in those days, middle class gentlemen usually gave their wives and daughters pins or ‘pin money.’ THE THREE WISE MEN Legend not only has identified the Wise Men as Caspar, Mel- choir and Balthasar, it has crowned them and given them the kingdoms of Tarsus, Arabia and Ethopia. It has symbolized their gifts as symbolic of what Jesus was to become—gold for a king, frankincense for a high priest and myrrh for a great physician. The Gospel text’s specific wise ;ncn from the cast logically iden tifies them with Zoroastrianism an ancient monotheistic religion of Persia. Zoroastrian priests were called Magi; they were powerful in public and private life since they, and they alone, possessed the priestly mysteries Involved in the worship of Maz- di—who represented the Zoro- jstrian power for good. The Magi may or may not have been fabously wealthy: St. Mat thew does not elaborate their treasures nor the amount of gold, frankincense and myrrh wliich they presented to the Christ Child. The gifts may have been mere tokens of their treasures, or the sum and substance thereof. And if they were soothsayers, mystics and possibly clairvoy ants they were also truly wise— in as much as they did not re turn to Herod, but departed into their own country by a different route.

C., from the Canal Zone, last Thursday in a critical condition. The doctors ot Corozal Hospital, Panama, were afraid to perform tho operation, but Dr. Marshall C. Sanford operated within a few hours of tiie boy’s arrival. The operation consisted ot returning the displaced organs to normal position, re - expanding the col lapsed lung and surgical repair ot the diaphi-agm muscles. The patient’s condition is very good at present and Dr. Sanford says the child may be fully re covered and on his way home in another two we^ks. Dr. Sanford is the son of R. B. Sanford and the late Mrs. San ford of Mocksville. The lens of the human eye is in a flattened condition when at rest. Excuse our blushes, but our pride is show ing. It’s a grand and glorious feeling to be headed for the cheery Christmas season with not 1 but 101 bright and shining presents for the Southland. We’re talking, of course, about our 101 new streamlined coaches, all-room Pullmans, diners and lounge cars. They’ve been going into service almost daily since the first one reached Southern Railway tracks last July. Nearly all of these cars—ordered more than three years ago—will be in our trains by Christmas. Expensive? The price tag reads $ 1 1 million! But we enjoy playing this kind of Santa Claus for the Southland we serve. President SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYSTEM FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1949 THE MOCKSVILLE (N. C.)

That’s the opinion of Dr. Gustav O. Arit of the department of Germanic languages on the Los Angeles campus oi the Uni versity of California. “The Norwegians who settled early in America brought the first version of the modern Santa Claus, who in Europe had been known as St* Nicholas, but never adequately pei-sonally described," said Dr. Arit. When the' American Clement Moore described the jolly, ro tund gentleman in minute detail in his poem "Twas The Night Before Christmas,” he asumed the proportion of living legend and thus became an integral part of Christmas legend and folklore the professor stated.

ENTERPRISE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1949 The greatest joy of the Christmas season is that of the little tots who awaken early Christinas morning and gaze in .pleased wonder at the marvelous Christmas tree and the beautiful toys Santa Claus has brought. ________ The happy expressions on these little-faces is worth all the troublè the grown-ups have taken to make the occasion a perfect one. Scenes like the one pictured here are among the happiest memories of childhood. A little later on these children will begin to leam th© deeper significance of Christmas. They will leam that the gifts of their parents, in the mythical role of Santa Qaus, are but symbols of God's great gift to humanity. The good will, love and unselfishness of the Christmastide are but a foreshadowing of the peace and good will that is to prevedi among men through the teachings of Jesus, whose birth the Christmas season commemorates. Parents shoiild endeavor to lead their children into an understand ing of this deeper meaning oi Christmas—a task in which the Church stands ready to cooperate.

C., as Second Class Matter Under Act of Congress of March 8, 1879 IS THERE A SANTA CLAUS? The following is the famous editorial written for the New York Sun by Francis P. Church, September 21, 1897: We take pleasure in answering at once and thus prom inently the communication below, expressing at the same time our great gratification that its faithful author is num bered among the friends of The Sun: “Dear Editor—I ani 8 years old. “Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. • , “Papa says, ‘If you see it in The Sun it’s so.’ “Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus? “Virginia O’Hanlon. “ 115 West Ninety-First Street.” Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere’ insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the bound less world about him, as measured by the intelligence ca pable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as cer tainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginia. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus com ing down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Sant*. Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither chil dren nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world. You tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world Which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love .romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus! Thank Ood! He lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood. Mrs. Byerly Bridge And Rook Hostess M l'S.

IT PAYS TO ADVWTUI D U K FKOM Ш OLD Ш 11SHEAM Most of the industry in our Piedmont Carolinas was "down by the Old Mill Stream” when this cen tury began. The rains came, and sonnetimes the little riverside plant went out with the flood. Then odventuresonrie engineers began to turn power wasting at falls and shoals into electricity. They transmitted it to towns located a safe dis tance from the rivers. Factories increased; and their loss by flood ended. They increased so fast, in fact, that such river sites os could be reached and profitably developed were “used up." Too, it was found that, in time of drought, streams proved inadequate to power needs in the awakened Piedmont. In the 1920’s, facilities for steam generation were begun and have continued steadily until today they provide most of the power delivered by the Duke System. In our present expansion program, one plant alone'^ will produce more than one-iixth as much power as was used last year in all the ter ritory served by the Duke Power Compony. *Ihe Lee Plant, now under construction neor Anderson, South Carolina POWER COMPANY FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1949 THE MOCKSVILLE (N.

Duffy, manager ot tlie Social Se curity Administration field officc in Winston-Salcm. People use the phrase often when told they have been losing money by not collecting Social Security bene fits coming Jo them." Our job is to see tliat people don't lose money,” Mrs. Duffy explains, and with six of every seven people in the nation covered by social se curity the employes in the Win- ston-Salem office have an end less job. Mrs. Duffy gives two main rules that help avoid “losing money": (1) Keep your wage record stiaight by cliecking on your account every four years; and (2) inquire when you think you're eligible for benefits wheth er you'vu been told to do so or not. She further explained that people are losing money because thpy don’t know: 1. That they don’t have to be completely retired- before filing claim for benefits. A qualified worker can file claim on reach ing 65 if he leaves a social se curity job lo work on a job not requiring the payment o( Social security tax, or if he earns $14.99 a month or less on a job covered by social security. 2. That the death of a child on whom parents were depend ent may give tho parents the right to claim benefits. 3. That a veteran who dies within three years of discharge is automatically deemed fully insured with an average monthly wage of at least $lliO. His de pendents got monthly payments based on his average monthly wage. 4. That a person has only three months after the day he was eligible to file for benefits before he starts losing money. The Winston-Salem office of the Social Security Administra tion is located Room 437 Nissen building. Officc hours arc from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Did you ever hunt squinels in the tilII thiibci'. or W!ilk up n pas ture lane in the twilight? We did. As wo crnwled through tlio bars into the barn lot, tlie hu.sh of the evening had settled over the earth. The .spirit of thot evening blanketed tho country side with peace. Tho house, the out build ings, and tho troos were silou- etted against tho sky in the fading light. No breath of air disturbed an autumn leaf. No sound could be heard. There was no conscious ness of heat or cold, no aware ness of body or limb as we walk ed; no call for conservation, or desire to break the reverent calm. We placcd iur guns in the car and walked to the house, an old house, majectic in the twilight. This was one of those houses which had never been painted. It had been built of such timber as is no longer available, and standing in its own twilight, the house needed no paint.

There was a light in the house. We walked across the porch and around the corner to the door, scarcely conscious of the creaking floor beneath our feet. We did not knock at the door; there was no need. The door opened, and we were greeted with the genial smile of an eighty-one- year old host. He welcomed us in and introduced us to his aged com panion. She sat in her rocker by the stove. Her senses were fail ing. She could scarccly see the light, and she. was almost deaf. But looking upon her radiant face and thinning silver hair, one wag conscious of being in the presence of a gracious lady. When we left, our host follow ed us to the porch talking about the pumpkins against the wall. He pointed to one pumpkin on a bench by the door that he was saving for his married daughter when she should come to visit next. He hoped the weather would turn cold so the hogs could be killed.

Keep Dangerous Toys Away From Children Christmas, of all holidays, be longs to the children. But, warns the National Board of Fire Un derwriters, Christmas turns out to be a tragic time for mny chil dren every year. The toys they were meant to take delight in, sometimes mean grief for the youngsters.. Poorly constructed electric toys can cause serious burns. Toys using gasoline or kerosene are equally dangerous. Bo careful in choosing your children's toys. If you’re planning to buy electric vacuum cloaners, stoves, irons, or other electric gadgets, be sure they have the marker of tho Underwriters’ Laboratories, Inc. When small children are play ing with electric toys always have an adult plug and unplug the toys. Don't give them stuffed ani mals or play costumes of brushed rayon or any highly flammable material unless they've been flameproofed.

This terrible rate of fire de struction is, however, 7.2 per ccnt lower than the same psriod last year. This year is the first time since 1940 that fire losses have stopped tlieir upward spiral. Losses for the entire year of 1940 wore $360,- 46C,000 and climbed up to more than twice that figure, $715,074,-^ ООО, in 1948. If the slight downward trend that has appeared so far this year continues and there are no ex traordinary conflagrations such as the Texas City disaster, the National Board said, fire losses this year may bo under S7,000,- aoo. The decrease is credited to a large extent to intensive efforts of fire departments, schools and various civic groups to awaken communities to the need for greater fire-safety in homes, in dustry and our forests. The average American strikes 14 matches each day. CHRISTMAS TREES CAUSE MANY FIRES EXPERTS WARN Christmas wouldn't be complete without a Christmas tree and all the trimmings. But each year those trees and trimmings cause many tragic home fires because people are careless with them or don't use safe decorations. Every year there are nearly 300 fires from Christmas trees in our larger cities, according to a study made by the National Board of Fire Underwriters. If figures were available for small cities, towns and rural areas, the total number of Christmas fires would be shown to bo larger, tho fire experts warn. However, this yearly destruct ion is unnecessary and can be halted. New York City has re duced Christmas fires 65 per cent since 1946 through campaigns of public education in fire safety and enforcements of fire depart ment regulations banning use of natural Christmas trees in stores, hotels and other public places.

Tiie reason for this was that wliile the Christian emperors kept up the custom of observing the New Year, the people con tinued so many idolatrous rites that the church applied a ban upon participation in tho rites. Finally, after December 25 had been fi.\od as the date of Christ’s nativity, the church made Janu ary 1 a religious festival. This ban has been observed in the Roman church since 487 and in the Anglican church since 1349.

FOSTER’S COnON GIN Finns See Evergreens As Mourning Symbol Evci’groens are never used as decorations in the homes and churches of Finland bccause the Finns regard them as symbols of mourning. At Christmas most homes whore there are children suspend a "heaven” from the living room or dining room celling. Such “heavens” consist of a cord frame work covered with straw and different colors of paper ribbons, etc., and dccorated with paper stars and silhouettes cut in var ious designs. The effect, when re flecting the firelight and the candles’ glow, is mysterious and fascinating. Candles are used profusely in the churches; the altars are bank ed and the windows are filled with them, so that in tlie pre dawn darkness (Christmas morn ing services begin at 0 A.M.) the churches beckon approaching worshippers like brilliant lan terns. After the early church services, the gayly decorated sleds race for home, bright robes flying and sleigh bells a-jlngling. Break fast is festive, and then every one takes a long nap. Christmas Day is not devoted to play or gift-giving: it is religiously ob served, with intervals of carol singing and Bible readings. The day after Christnias is St. Stephen’s day, and from then un til New Year’s day, parties and general festivity are in order. Although gift-giving Is not an integral part of the observances, in some parts of Finland trink ets and useful gifts of wearing apparel are presented to children by Wainamoinen, the Kalavala hero of Finnish legend.

The urns may provide the “old est archaoologicnl record of Christianity” and 'an historical confirmation of the trial and crucifixion of Christ, tho archae ologists said. A sect of Hebrews, who follow ed Jesus, denounced Pontious Pi late and mourned the crucifixion of their loader, was believed to have left the writings on the urns in the cave. The Hebrew and Aramic in scriptions contained common names like Miriam, Simeon, and Matti. The Greek inscriptions and symbols beside them contained references to Christianity and, it seem;; probable, to the crucifix ion. H. N.

Trexler Bro8. Salisbury, N. C. Flammable Yule Decorations Cause Many Tragedies If you’V2 been shopping Гог Christmas decorations, take a tip from tho National Board of Fire Underwriters. Hundreds of Christmas celebra tions turn into tragedy every year becauso of flammable decor ations, the fire engineers warn. Most of those Christmas fires need never have happened, they addsd, becau.se so many safe dec orations are available at stores those days. There’s no need to risk fire with flammable old-fashj ioned trimmings. Cotton is pretty lor a snow effect around a tree, but it will catch fire easily. Only flame- proofed cotton should be used for docorating a tree. Be sure to look for the words “flame-proofed" qn all cotton or paped decorations. . For a minature Santa Claus village you might pat rock wool around the ba.sc. You can sprnkle mica on it to got a glstonng snow effect. Another safe decorating idea is to wrap aluminum foil around the base of tho tree. It sparkles like silver and is fire-safe. Don't use any paper decorations on the tree. If you use colored plastic Ight ornaments, look for the UL tag that shows they’ve been tested for fire safety by the Underwrters’ Laboratories Inc. Be sure all electric lighting out fits and extension cords used on the tree bear the UL tag. Under no circumstances, the engineers warn, should you put lighted candles on a tree. Use electric lights, or you might want to try a new idea for lighting up the tree that’s on the market this year. Tiny, luminous figures in the shapes of animals and in different colors can be hung on the tree as you would hang or dinary ornaments. But they have no wires or lights connected to them. Instead they glow when a small ultra violet light is di> rected on them. RULES GIVEN TO SAVE LIVES IN FIRE Here’s what to do if tire breaks out in your house: 1. Gel everybody out of the houso. 2. CaU the fire department. Be sure you know wheriT the near est alarm box is. Keep the fire department phone number post ed near the telephone. 3. Close all doors leading to the fire area. 4. If trapped in room above the ground floor, keep the door closed, and await rescue at an open window. Carelesness with matches and cigarettes starts some 270,000 fires every year in the United States. It is the leading cause of fires, according to the National Board of Fire Underwriters. ;^ г т т ш ш т т т т т т т У п.

IVIERRY CIIRI>ST1H1AS PAGE 4 THE MOCKSVILLE (N. C.) ENTERPRISE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1949 SANTA AFFECTED BY RESTRICTIONS It’s clifficull to unclci'stnncl but the genial spirit of CliiMstmas Santa Claus himself, hasn't al ways had it easy. Thure have been occasions when laws or tra ditions or regulations have put ccrtain curbs on the old gentle man. Here are some examples: In Newark, N. J., Santa is re quired to pass a stiff physical ex amination before he can serve in a department store. And even then he is barre'd from kissing any oC the children who perch upon his knee. In Charleston, S. C., charity Santas have been forbidden to make a pitch on public streets on tho grounds that children flock ing in to see them may create a traffic hazard. And in Washing ton a few years ago, when the postmaster general was asked to print a Santa Claus stamp, at Christmas time he rejected the > i; \:-()\ ^ ( lk>l I. A I I ,0 0 0 w isHf^ THF HOI IDArS u proposal with a scornful, “I should say not.” Outside the U. S. A., Santa has had trouble, too. In Montreal, Canada an influential Organiza tion fought against holding of the city’s annual Santa Claus pa rade on the ground that it was ‘merely a display of grotesque and vulgar buffoonery.’' A prom inent journalist in Rio de Jan- erio fostered, a movement to do away with Santa Claus (Papa Noel) in Brazil and substitute toy-bearing grandfather Indian. In Mexico City the minister of education r”commended that the Aztec god Quetzacoatl, instead of St. Nick, should bring gifts to children. In the field of opinion, Santa has encountered some detract ors. A Prof. Ivan E. McDougle, sociologist at Goucher collcge, Baltimore, declared: “The Santa Claus myth has lived too long. Parents should substitute philo sophy”—whatever that it. A Toronto phychiarist got in liis blast. “It should be made dear to children,” ho said, “ that Santa Claus is not necessarily a real man any more than any other character out of a story book.” The total fire destruction ior the first nine months of 1949 was $498,227,00. This is greater than the total loss for any single year from 1930 to 1945, inclusive. Oyer a five-year period, an av erage of 93 per cent of all deaths due to burns and conflagrations occured to persons under 25 years of age. Fire is the leading cause of home accidental deaths in chil dren. Every year about 3,800 children die in home fire acci dents, and many thousands more are seriously injured nf crippled. Napnleon planned nn air in vasion of England. He drew up elaborate plans for carrying an army across the channel in bal- ioons. More than 40,000 American Indians were employed in war industries during World War II. Use An Enterprise Want Ad Evj-ey day fire breaks out in 1100 homes—or about one home fire every I '/•> minutes. There fires cost an average of about $600 each. I WISH TO EXPRESS MY SINCERE APPRECIATION FOR THE COOPER ATION GIVEN ME DURING THE PAST YEAR, AND PLEDGE MY EF FORTS TO YOUR SERVICE IN 1950.
