C., FRIDAY, DEC)3, 1948 The County News For Everybody’*No. 39 COLONEL MURCHISON SPEAKS ON MILITARY POLICY OF UNITED STATES W. G. Murchiion, retired U.S. • army colonel, told local Rotari- ans that in the present day we are putting too much emphasis on what the government owes the individual rather than what the individual owes the government, and because of this fact our na­ tion is insecure. Colonel Murchison traced the history of the United States via Biilitary accomplishmenta from the days of the first militia to the pi^nt day National Guard. H« pointed out how the United Statcf from the days ot the early colonlct built up the armies and then at victory allowed them to disintegrate and weaken the vic­ tory. He explained that un­ trained loldiera cannot be de­ pended upon, but that the aver­ age American soldier with train­ ing WiU follow competent oiti- cen into anytbi^. Colontl Mur- chiaon pointed out that the Union Army had it had 30,000 trained mn C9UM hav« ended the CivU War in M diiyt. ColoMl Murchiion laid that he belisved that if we had main­ tained anywhere near our armed strength at the end of World War 11 the present squabble with Bus ■ia would not have occurred. He . pointed out that the inducements the government ottera to gain yolunteen.f^ ^ annrbaa fattr ed in a number of ways, airà we were forced into another peace­ time draft. The colonel empha sized that we should begin early to teach our young men to be proud to perform military serv­ ice tor our country, and to quit coddling them, pointing out that more the individual was coddled, the weaker he becomes. Colonel Murchison was intro­ duced by Kim Sheek, who had charge of the program. Guests for the occasion included Dr. John C. Weiters, who has recently moved to Mocksvillc, and Betty Sue Whitaker, pianist. Eight Tried For Game Law Violation Eight Davie county men, ar­ rested at City Market, Winston- Salem, with 381 rabbits in their possession, were convicted Satur­ day ot violating sUte game laws by Justice of the peace Berch C. Winston-Salem. The men were Clyde Jones, J. T. Carter, and J. W. Jones ot Mocksville, R. 3, L. B. Jones, O. Li. Barnhardt and G. E Barn­ hardt of Advance, R. 1, and G. H. Goforth of MocksviUe. Magistrate WUIard fined the men costs of court. They all claimed that they or members of their families shot or trapped all the rabbits. J. E. Scott, Torsyth county game warden, and Frank Mackie, YadUa game warden, arrested the men while thqr were trying to seU the rabbiU at City Mar­ ket. The legal bag limit it 14 rabbit« g person. Alao yesterday. Game Warden Scott reported that he and Mr. Mackie checked 144 hunUng U- censea in Forsyth, Yadkin and Davie counUet on Thanksgiving day.

FARM LEADERSHIP NEEDED IN PMA Farmington P.-T.A. Has Christmas Program The Farmington P.-T.A. will hold its December meeting on Wednesday, Dec. 8, at 7:30 o'clock.

This is no time for farmers to let go ot the steering wheel of the farm program, says G. T. Scott, chairman of the North Car­ olina PMA committee. ‘The use of farmer-elected committees to administer the agricultural con­ servation program, price supports and other programs has proven effective and efficient and this is no time to let this farm leader' ship down by not showing up when community elections are held. “The elections are not to be confused with the regular elec tipns tor politics candidates. In the agricultural conservation pro­ gram there are no party lines. These farmer elections are non­ political and the best farm lead­ ership should be voted in,” said the chairman. Mr. Scott said he was not afraid of the leadership that would be selected if most of the eligible farmers vote in the community elections. “It’s when farmers get too busy to vote that there is danger of . losing the farmer’s voice and influence in the admin­ istration of the farm program.” Elections in North Carolina will be held on December 2 and De­ cember 3 and all farmers who have participated in the 1048 ag­ ricultural conservation program are eligible to vote in these elec­ tions. Notices of the elections are be­ ing posted in advance of the elec­ tions in the various communities. “Each eligible farmer should make it a point to vote in his community,” the chairman urges. “The backbone of the farm pro­ gram is the elected farmer-com- mittees. Their strength comet from the support they get from the farmers in commtuiitiet and countiet." Dr. John C. Weiters Locates In Mocksville Dr. John C. Weiters ot Bryson City, N. C., has purchased the J. H. Eidson farm on the Yad­ kinville highway and moved there last week. Dr. Weiters ia origi­ nally from Charleston, S.

WIDOW LOSES HER BENEFITS —A.wJrtow.ceointiy. called.at. the field office of the Social Security administration located at 437 Nis- sen building, Winston-Salem, to inquire about the possibility of benefit payments for herself and her three small children as the widow of a deceased wage earn­ er. She said she had seen an article in a newspaper stating that widows and children some­ times received payments, and since she had found a Social Se­ curity card with her husband’s name on it she decided to see whether he had any credits which would entitle her and the chil­ dren to payments. Upon obtaining the record of wages reported for the deceased wage earner, the field office dis­ covered that he had sufficient wages to be “fully insured” and that since he had died in March 1948 the widow and children had lost, five months benefits due to failure to file a claim within three months of the wage earner's death. These lost benefit pay­ ments could ntt be obtained due to the fact that the law does not permit retroactive payments be­ yond the three months prior to the moBth of filing. It wu-ppinted out by Mrs. Ruth G. Dufiy, manager of the Win- ston-Salem field office, that there are two times for action in Social Security. First, wage earners should inquire about their rights at age 69, and second, surviving relatives of deceased wage earn- CTBoihauld inquire as soon as pos­ sible after death. This applies also in the case of veterans of World War II who die within three years after honorable dis charge. “The best advice we can give residents of the counties served by the Winston-Salem field of­ fice,” Mrs. Duffy sattes “is to inquire in every case wheVe there has been employment by the per< son concerned, either a wage earner at age 65, or in the case of deceased workers, as soon as pos­ sible after death. Even where no Social Security card can be found ,this inquiry should be made if the person concerned has been employed since the law be­ came effective on January 1, 1937.” A representative is in mocks­ ville on the fourth Wednesday of each month at the courthouse, . second floor, at 12:30 noon and at Cooleemee on the same date at the Erwin Cotton mills office at 11 a.m. NEW GOVERNOR AIDS POIIO VICTIM Vie Aa Entcrpriie Waat Ad Musical TrophlM W.

Entered at the Post Ofllce at Mocksville, N. C., as Second Class Matter Under Act of Congress of March 8, 1879 DONATE TOYS NOW! The Enterprise wishes to underscore as forcibly as it can the appeal being made by the Junior Chamber of Com­ merce of Moclcsville for the people to gather up their un­ wanted toys and old clothes and turn them in to be distrib­ uted to the needy children of the county. This involves no sacrifice on the part of anyone; a discarded toy is abso­ lutely valueless tc the owTier. Sometimes perhaps adults forget the thrills they got from toys when they were mere tots. Think back a few decades: We never tired of playing with them. The little toy locomotive in our imagination became a powerful mo­ gul drawing a long string of cars loaded with all kinds of good things; in our mind’s eye we could see it streaking around curves, flashing down hills, while the engineer in a playful mood with his whistle cord played an ear-splitting crescendo. We can’t relive those days In reality, but we can preserve these all too fleeting Illusions for our needy children. So, we want to plead with our readers to ransack their attics, basements, closets and other places, dig out the ac­ cumulated toys and old clothes and have them ready at the designated places of pickup on Saturday, December 4.

Kelly today appealed to local residents to plan to mail all Christmas greet- cards and gift packages "just as early in December as possible.” An even heavier flood of Yule- tide mail is expected this Christ mas than during the record- breaking 1947 holiday season, when the local post office can­ celed more than 500,000 pieces of mail. ‘‘If you postpone mailing to the last minute this year,“the post­ master warned, “you risk disap­ pointing your friends. Your holi­ day messages and gifts may be caught in the rush and perhaps not delivered until after Christ­ mas.” All packages should be mailed before December 10 to assure de­ livery before Christmas day, he said. Christmas cards for out-of- state delivery also should be mailed by December 10 and cards for local addresses should be mailed at least, week before De­ cember 25. “We would appreciate it if peo­ ple would stop in next week and purchase the extra stamps they’re going to need,” the postmaster said. “This is one phase of Christmas shopping that every­ one can complete early and thus avdd the lart-minute crowds at pmtofTice windows.” The postmaster pointed out that parcel post packages cannot be accepted unless stoutly wrapped, and advised shoppers to lay in supplies of heavy cardboard, stur­ dy outer fourth-class labels. Pack­ ages are limited to 70 pounds in weight, and must not measure more than ICO inches in length and girth combined. The addrcM should be repeated inside the outer wrappings.

If you want to make them mad just ttop them ftcm.being armchair qua^backs. The individual’s right to express his own opinion and to determine his own action, within the limits o f decencjr, is a proud Tar Heelia heriuge. Listen in on any gathering of friends and you will see what we mean by "armchair quarter* backs." Their conversation probably will include football. Ah, how different die scores would have been if bnly the "armchair quarterbacks" had called the signals. But it’s all in wholesome fun and part of North Carolina life. Or, by chance, the discussion may get around to how  e participating counties and communities should best spend their share of the more than 17,000,000 collected each year in taxes on beer by the state of North Carolina. Some fi^vor using these funds to keep local taxes at a minimum. Others favor spending the beer tax funds ^for im­ proved schools, better health fitcilities and mote adequate police and fire protection. But it makes no difference what the topic. North Carolinians uphold the individual’s right to ex> press openly his own opinion and to determine his own action, within the limits of decency. Let’s kee£; it that way.

McNutt, Dean of the Graduate School of Wo­ mans College of the University of North Carolina, introduced the individual American to himself at the annual farmers night banquet of the local Rotary Club last Tues­ day night; Dr. McNutt outlined the four characteristics of the American people as (1) Respect for other people. (2) Willingness to cooper­ ate—explaining that the average American belonged to more things per square inch than any other people under the sun. (3) Inde­ pendent-emphasizing that an - American does not like to 'b e pushed around. (4) Practical thinking—pointing out that the first two questions popping into the mind of an American when shown some gadget are “what is it good for?” then “how much does it cost?” Dr. McNutt traced the evolution of these characteristics by paint ing a realistic picture with words of our ancestors life in Western Europe where the value' was placed on land and ¿ person was unimportant; through the emi­ gration to America and the estab­ lishment of the frontier where men became important and land, bccause of the abundance ot it, Iw important. He showed step by step how we acquired each of the above characteristiis because they were necessary ior survival in the aew world. Dave Rankin presided over the program for Farmers Night and introduced the individual Rotar­ ians who in turn introduced his farmer guest. R. B. Sanford made the address of welcome and ex­ pressed indebtedness and appre­ ciation for the friendship of the farmer.

Among the out of, town dis­ tinguished guets present for the occassion were Harvey Dinkins, Farm Editor for the Winston-Sa- lem Journal, and G. Harold Make­ peace, District Rotary Governor for the 19Ist District. Mrs. Frank Fowler of Mocksville provided pre-dinner piano music and ac­ companied a quartet composed of Bob Hardee, R: B.

These inspec­ tions are made in compliance with the regulations of the state board of health in an effort to maintain a high standard in our meat markets and assure the pub­ lic of a wholesome product pro­ duced and handled in a sanitary manner in a clean place, states Carl E. Shell, sanitarian. The score is a composite rating of the sanitary condition of the market area and premises, the equipment and food products in the market, and the operator him­ self. A low score may be due to the physical character of tht building or to the operntor and the manner in which he conducts his business. The customer may not be able to sec the inside of the market as the sanitarian sees it; but he can be assured of ont thing—if a market has o high rating, everything is in pretty good condition. If a score is low, the customer must be his own judge. The grade is all wc can give you, states Mr; Shell. .A market making a score of 90 or above is awarded a grade A; between 80 and 90 merits a B; and below 80, a C. No market may operate with a rating below 70. Market grades arc as follows: Allison-Johnson, Mocksvillc, 7S; Call and Booe, North Cooleemee, 75; R. L. Foster, North Coolee­ mee, 83; E. C. James, Farming­ ton, 81; R. O. Kiger, Mocksville, 69.5; J. N. Ledford Co., Coolee­ mee, 92.5; Sheffield Grocery, Sheffield, 78; Smith Grove Serv­ ice Station, Smith Grove, 59; Stop and Shop, North Cooleemee, 90; Vogler Brothers, Advance, 84; West End Grocery, Mocksville, 90. Inspections were also m.-ide at Bennett and Sons of Cornatzer and S. L. Smith Service Station of Advance, Route 1. These op­ erators have agreed to discon­ tinue the sale of fresh meat until they can comply with the require­ ments of the board of health, says Mr. Shell.

Silt í é ^ h i i /a yjwuttmawg IT ГАТ8 TO A D V n m tl PRUNE AND SPRAY FRUIT TREES NOW December is the time to be­ gin pruning and spraying oper­ ations. There are many days of bright sunshine which make ideal weather for pruning and ap plying spray materials. ntVNING Pruning the Apple — newly planted trees. Prune off one- third to one-fourth of top of new­ ly planted one-year-old trees or "whips.” Two-year-old planted trees have side branches and usu- fllJy two leaders. Select several of the strong lateral branches and one of the leaders, the one facing the prevailing winds. Remove all other branches. Thè selected branches go to make up the scaf­ fold or the frame work of the tree. Remove one-third to rmr half of the longest laterals aad col back lightly the leader so that it will be longer than tto* pruned lat* erals. Th« pruning oi one-year tree or "whip^ the following year is similar to that of the newly planted two-year tree. The next few years light prun­ ing should bt pcaetieed by re­ moving branches tbat crowd tba frame work or KaftoU branches. Do not remove the spur like growth as many of theae will pro­ duce fruit buds. Prunning the Peach — Newly planted trees. Cut back large "June-budded" trees to M inches. Very small ones may be left to grow one season before pruning. Cut back one-year old trees to 24 to 30 inches and each side FOR SALE—^Dry Slabs, pine or| poplar. Priced reasonable. Mrs. E. H.

Bi# aaxt year open the center of the tree by cutting out the central branch. Select several strong branches spaced far apart and remove the others. These fonn the frame work of the fu- "ture tree. Head back one-fourth or more of the growth of thé longest laterals and remove all shoots or branches below the low­ est scaffold limbs. The pruning after the second year consists of keeping the center open, a mod­ erate thinning out nnd heading back the , larger limbs an d branches. SPRAYING Peach Trees—Spray with 3 per cent dormant oil emulsion or liquid lime sulphur to control San Jose scale. Dilute the oil accord­ ing to the manufacturer's direc­ tions. Liquid lime may be used at the rate of 6 gallons to 50 gal­ lons of water. Liquid lime sulphur will control the leaf diseases. A 3-3-SO bordeaux mixture may be combined with the oil emulsion to control scale insects and leaf curL Tbe white peach scale is more difficult to control than the San Joae acale. For good results, make two applications of a 3 per cent oil emulsion about 2 weeks. Spray thoroughly especially on the underside ot the limbs. Spraying Apples—Control San Jose scale by spraying with 3 per cent oil emulsion. In the moun­ tains scurfy and oyster shell scale are sometimes present in our ap­ ple orchards. For control in­ crease the oil content of the di­ luted spray to 4 per cent. Spray thoroughly especially the under­ side of the limbs. Scrape the loose bark from trunk of old trees before spraying in order to reach all scales with the spray. Aphids are a serious pest. They can be controlled by combining with the oil emulsion one of the dinitro compounds. Follow direc­ tions of the manufacturer. Home Fruit Garden—The home fruit gardener with a few trees of tbe different 'kinds of fruit can use dry lime sulphur at the rate of 7 measuring cupfuls to 5 gallons «f water for the control ot scala insects.

C.> ENTERPRISE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1 Ш STUDENTS WITNESS FOUR PLA YS FRIDAY The Mocksville school student body was treated with a unique and interesting program last Fri­ day at the regular chapei period. The Junior and Senior English classes, under the guidance of Mrs. Frances Luce, were divided into four classes and each pre­ sented a play. The Juniors presented a very short sicit from “The Man in the Green Shirt” that depleted Bill Mason in the part of Mr. Fuller; Madison Angell as Ivan Ross; Shirley Shell as Millj^p^isher; Bill Benson jrf^W lly. ■ I'rterdther play presentw-by the Juniors was a modern version of the Cinderella story. Instead of the sweet, do­ cile Cinderella so familiar in the story, the modern Cinderella was a hateful and conceited charac­ ter that had a very kind sister and considerate mother. The characters were: Betty Sue Whit­ aker as Clarissa. Cinderella's kind sister; Betty Wyatt as Cinderella; Betty Lou Martin* as Lady A l- spice, Cinderella’s mother. The Seniors presented the old nursery story of “Goldilocks and 'thé Three Bears,” acting out each episode in a very capable man­ ner. In this Pat Grant was Mamma Bear; Von Shelton was Papa Bear; John Graham Willard was Baby Bear; and Mary Fran ces Hockday was Goldilocks. For their other play the Seniors lire- sented two short sketches from “Four Feet in the Grave.” Hazel Sofley doubled as Ed, a white boy, and later on as a tramp; Betty Ann Turner was her col­ ored friend, Leroy. John Roberts, Jimmy Ciimp- bdll and Johnny Durham w tre in charge of the lighting ct the stage and pulling the curtain. Publicity managers were Dot Shore and Jane Dwiggins.

We dislike using them when talking with a person who comes in to in* quire about old-age and survivors insurance benefits. Mary Dale lost $1,104 because she didn’t know she had earned Social Security benefits. Her case came to light recently when she asked if the government could help her out with a little money. She had been living on her savings since she had retired, but her resources were exhausted. We had to tell her that she could have been re­ ceiving a government check for $23 every month since she had retired. The money would not have been charity, as she had believed, but a retirement benefit for which she had paid, with the help of her employer, while she was working. She had lost money be­ cause she had neglected to file an application. It cannot be re­ covered. This, except for the name, is a true story. Liije many others in oiu-'iiles, it illustrates widespread ignorance of the Social Security la.w. It is startling to discover how many wage earners are hav­ ing one percent of their wages deducted every pay day without the slightest idea of what their money buys. One of the commonest miscon- ceptfons is that Social Security is a form of relief available only to persons over 63 who are In need.’ That is not so. Social Security is a form of insurance, a simple business proposition under which the wage earner pays while he is worUag for the benefit he retires or dies. You don’t have to be poor to get the benefit. Even millionaires receive it. Two bank presidents, who live in another field office area, re­ tired recently. Both went into the field office the same day they retired to file their applications for benefits. Not everyone is so familiar with the law as bankers, unfortunately. Here is another ; case we had recently, illustrating this lack ot knowledge. A widow under 63 came in to inquire if she might receive ben­ efits by reason of her husband's death. He had died in 1943 leav­ ing a son, 16. The son is now 19. so we had to tell the widow she would receive nothing until she reached 65. Between the time ot her husband’s death and the month her son became 18, she could have received a monthly check for $33.36. Because she had neglected to apply sooner, she had lost money wliich she can never recover. Now she will have to wait until she reaches 65, when she will begin receiving a month­ ly check for $31.50. This will be payable only if she does not re­ marry before 63. Preventing such losses is part ot our job. One way we can and arc giving you information about your rights is through this col­ umn because ot the interest your editor has in the welfare of his fellow citizens. Another way is for you to either write or visit our office, if you think you may t>e due Social Security benefits, or it you want to find out how the law works. We’re here to help you.

WMt Foiutk mt Tiada VOLUME X X X I •All The County News For Everybody” MOCKSVILLE, N. C., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1948 . “AM The County Ncwa For Everybody”No. 41 BREED CAHLE ARTIFICIALLY NOW Now is the time oi the year to have your cows bred for fall freshening. More milk is pro­ duced in the average dairy farm during the spring and summer than during the winibr. More good available grazing has a great deal to do with that. Another cause is due to the fact that lots of cows freshen in the spring. A surplus of milk during the spring and summer causes the price to drop. A good way to help correct this lituation is to have cows bred so that tlMjr Will freshen in the fall in ordvr that they will produce heavily dttrinf (he winter when the supply of mUk it not enough to take care of demand A large amouat of milk U imported from the state each day, but «m id erab ly more comes in dur- ^ the winter, The artificial brcedini ia doing wall, but the aMoeiation should ba MrVlng considerably more Imnen. The average conception rate in Davie county is equal to that of natural breeding. There aro doient of calvea renilting from artificial breeding in Davie cou^. They are fine animals. If farmers not using the services ot tho aasocation would see some of thew calves I believ they would be anxious to have their cows bred artificially. Each bull used in the program is proven. His daughters produce more milk than their mothers. Good cows, producing lots of milk cost very little more to take care of than low producers. It would be good business to raise calves that would increase the income from milk sales. Get in touch with W. W.

Poultry Suggestions Made For December F. E. Peebles, county agent, announces the following sugges­ tions for poultry: Place CUek Orders Now: Baby chicks have been in. strong de­ mand for several weeks and this demand, in all probability, will continue well into next year and certainly through the next chick replacement season. There will not be an adequate supply of Pullorum clean or of certified chicks to satisfy all of the 1949 demand, therefore, you had bet­ ter place your order now so as to get the bird, variety, number and quality of chicks you want at the time you want them. Buy as near home as possible to still get the quality that ypu desire. In ordering, state clearly the pur­ pose for which you want chicks; that is, do you want broiler chicks or chicks from egg producing bred stock. Corysa (colds): Some flock owners are experiencing trouble with colds in their flock. This condition in some cases was due to overcrowding, poor ventilation, damp litter, or birds roosting in drafts. Regardless of the predis­ posing causes, they should be cor­ rected immediately. When this is done, the birds usually recover. Continue to feed a high quality mash and grain and if colds per­ sist and medication is desired, place two teaspoons of sodium sulfathiazole in each gallon of drinking water. Discontinue the use of this drug after three to five days if flock does not respond to treatment. The Vse of Curtains On Freirt ot Laying House: Curtains can be used to a good advantage during extremely cold or bad weather to keep out snow and to control drafts, hoWever, much damage can be done to flock by th« im­ proper use of curtains.

ENTERPRISE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17,1948 TUBERCULOSIS DEATH RATE EXPECTED TO DROP IN 1949 Americans who are iollowins their annual custo'm oi buying Christmas seals should experi­ ence great satisfaction in the pre­ diction by statisticians of the Met­ ropolian Life Insurance company that the death rate from tubercu­ losis will establish an'all-time low in 1948. Among the company’s industrial policyholders the death rate for the first ten months of the year was 13 per cent below that for the same period of 1947, which itself had established a record low. Important reductions in the death rate from tuberculosis have been registered in each age group during recent years, but the great­ est declines are shown at the younger ages. As a result, the tuberculosis problem now is be­ ing concentrated at the older ages. The statisticians foresee that this trend w ill be accentuated in the future as the proponen o f older people in our population contin­ ues to rise. “The peak rates at the older for on-fh«-9o tmortn«ss 5» nsturmHf » jmw imkitm têtu.

You have only until midnight of December 31 to take a new driving examination, according tq the Motor Vehicle Department, and if you don’t get it now, along with your Christmas shopping, you may find that the lines get awfully long near the end of De­ cember. That was the word of warning today from Motor Vehicle Com- missoiner L. C. Rosser, who said the E, F and G group of drivers had been slow to report to the examining stations. This group began taking their examinations on July 1 and will be given through December 31. ages reflect primarily that reac­ tivation of tuberculosis lesions acquired in earlier life,” the sta­ tisticians comment. “These older people are survivors from a pe­ riod when the disease was wide­ spread. A generation ago studies showed that practically everyone who reached adult life reacted positively to the tuberculin test. Nowadays a surprisingly large proporion pf young people are non-reactors to the teat. Recent studies in somt rural areas in the Middle Wwt Show all the chil- drtn to be non-reactors. "Spccial effort to bring older persona into the operation of mass X-ray campaign is recommended as a meana ot revealing the ex­ istence of many unrecognized spreaders to tubtrcle baccilli, and to proted their families and co workers. Eftective case finding in our older population w ill give great impetus to the eradication of the disease, which is still an important cause of death and dis­ ability in our country,” the statis ticians state.

FIGHT TB Buy Christmas S«als Living Costs To Be Reported. a»..‘.‘.Wages”... The Winston-Salem Social Se­ curity offlce reports that while employers usually report all cash payments to their employes they do not always include the money value of other pay which is made in some medium other than cash. This has come to the attention of the Winston-Salem Social Securi­ ty office which handles claims for benefit payments in the coun­ ties of Forsyth, Davie, Stokes, Surry and Yadkin. In most cases a corrected statement from the employer makes it possible to in­ clude in the benefit calculation the unreported wage payments made in some medium other than cash. Mrs. Ruth G. Duffy, manngor of the Winston-Salem, N. C., So­ cial Security office, explained that the clord “wages” used in the Social Security act includes pay of any kind. It inchides salaries, fees, back pr.y, conimisisons on sales, as well as pay by the hour, day or week, or by the piece. It includes cash, of course, and it includes payments in kind such as meals, lodging, rent or goods. Waitresses, waiters, cooks, or any other persons wlio receive part or all of their pay in tlie form ot meals or lodging, rent, or goods ot any sort are to be taxed on the cash wage they re­ ceive plus the fair value of any­ thing else they receive from their employers as pay for their work. For example, if the cash wage is $20 a week, and the employer fur­ nished two hieals a day, six days a week, the value of the meals (fair value at time of payment) must be added in. If the meals are valued at 25 cents each, or $3 a week, the wages to be re­ ported would be $20 plus $3, or $23. This is the amount which is then credited to the person's Social Sccurnty account. All persons covered by the So- -cial Security program of old-age and survivors insurance sliould keep in mind that benefit pay­ ments are based upon their wages from jobs, covered by the Social Security act. This is true of pay­ ments to the person’s family as well as to the worker himself. Therefore, for any person or his family to receive full benfits all "wages” must be reported. A representative of the Social Security office is in Mocksville on the fourth Wednesday of each month at the courthouse, second floor, at 13:30 noon—also at Coo* leemee on the same date at the Erwin Cotton mills office at 11 a.m. L.

Knteied at the Post Oilice at Mocksville, K. C., as Second Class Matter Under Act of Congress of March 8, 1879 YAMCIN COUNTY APPROVES HOSPITAL The election In Yadkin county last Tuesday to vote bonds up to $80,000 to finance a hospital project for the county carried by a substantial majority. The bonds voted were up to $80,000, but it is not believed that more than $40,000 of this amount will be required to be issued. Since the election was called, certain monies have become avail­ able in Yadkin county which can be used as their part of the amount to be furnished and this will reduce the amount of bonds to be Issued. The citizens of Yadkin county are to be congratulated ior their -progressive-spirit and interest in promoting bet­ ter health facilities for their county. The need fo more adequate hospital facilities in North Carolina has become very urgent. The few hospitals in the cities in this area are continually overcrowded with patients filling the hall­ ways and every other available space, It ig often impossi­ ble to secure a room. Yadkin county, realizing the need, took advantage last week of the federal and state hospital aid program and will pay only a minor part of the total cost to have a 30-bed hospital erected in their county. Davie county has at the present time the same oppor­ tunity to secure a hospital as Yadkin county. The local hospital committee has secured for Davie an A-1 priority because of this county’s urgent need for a hospital. The matter now rests with the County Board of Commissioners to call a special bond election and give the people of the county the opportunity to vote this issue. Officials have pointed out the need for immediate action, however, as the possibility always remains that federal and state funds can be withdrawn or exhausted if legal phases of the project delay the hospital too long.

Unless a prolonged damp period of weather exists, poultry- men are justified in providing ad­ ditional ventilation when they observe the litter getting damp or the formaion of moisture on the windows. It is well to remem­ ber that warm air will remove more moisture than cold air. For this reason, care should be exer­ cised as to the amount of fresh air admitted to the laying house during extremely cold damp pe­ riods of weather. A safe rule to follow is to provide an abundance of fresh air at. all times, but ovoid drafts. rtaivMte Water 'WanMr: Play Santa Claus to your flock.

MURRAY CONSTRUCTION & SUPPLY COMPANY Chinese Pay Debts On New Year’s Eve 'An' 'aticlehl' CKlnese' '{fadifiori demands that all bills be paid on New Year’s Eve: anyone who is a debtor on New eYar’s Day is considered, and considers him­ self, very much disgraced. Count­ ing-houses hum with activity long after midnight and tradespeople shielding lighted candles, hurry through the dark streets of resi­ dential districts stopping at this door and that door to setle ac­ counts with their customei's. Traditionally, creditors are en­ titled to their money only so long as their candles remain lightod. Human nature being what it is, we c.in imagine debtors and cred­ itors have thought of an ingenious way ot accidentally extinguish­ ing those candles or keeping tiiem Crom being extinguisiied. In addition to the wife, sur­ vivors include one daughter. Mrs. Frank Brown, Statesville, R. 4; three sons, C. P. Cleary, Salisbury, Roy and Duke Cleary of Winston-Salem; three brotii- ers, D. n.

FORMER MOCKSVIUE BOY LEADS OKLAHOMA FOOTBALL TEAM ' When the University of North CaroUna Tarheels tackle Okla­ homa in the Sugar Bowl game at New Orleans on New Year’s day, they w ill find themselves facing a team led by one of the finest tackles in the nation and a former Mocksville boy, co-Captain Wade Walker. With the mentioning of the name Wade Walker, youngest son ot Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Walker of Gastonia or CherryviUe and for­ merly of Mocksville, the thoughts of many citizens in Mocksville will wander back fo the night of October 30, 1930, when a disas­ trous lire dem olisi^ the Mocks­ ville hotel, operated by Mr. and Mrs. Walker. It w ill be recalled that when the fire was discovered, it had made such headway in the frame structure that the Walker (CentbMMl ea page S.) callcd on to raise funds. We have been asked to raise $3,000 as our quota 'for the annual paralysis drive. Can we do it? Yes, we owe it to our children and to our nation. We hope that we w ill not need to use this moqey, but pa­ ralysis has no respect for indi­ viduals, so we must be prepared to take care of any situation which might arise. When you are m ntact^ by a committee worker for a ctmtri- bution please give as liberally as you can and help make this drive a successful campaign. The need is great and the cause is greater. Sincerely. D. J. MANDO, Chairman Davie County Cliapter, National Foundation for Infan­ tile Paralysis.

Secret Gifts Left By St. Nicholas The story of how St. Nicholas bttnme---associatctl--w lTli "secfcr gift-giving, and even today comes covertly at night to leave his pres­ ents, is one of tho most import­ ant in the history of his life. Once upon a time there was a man with three daughters, all of them wishing to marry, but with no dowry forthcoming. Sorry, in­ deed was their plight. Their fath­ er had about decided to sell them as slaves, but the good St. Nich­ olas heard of it, and filling a purse with gold, went quietly by night to their home. Seeing a window open, he threw in the bag of gold and then stole away in the night. This money enabled the eld­ est daughter to marry. A second and a third time St. Nicholas made the trip and finally all three daughters were married. After the saint's third trip, the girl's father, who had been watch­ ing to see who brought the gifts, ran after St. Nicholas and thank­ ed him for his kindness. St. Nich­ olas made him promise not to divulge his gift-giving and after that he always deposited his pres­ ents so secretly that no one ever ^aw him. Yet people knew, some­ how, that is was he who brought gifts during the night, and so whenever they found a package mysteriously delivered they in­ stantly e.\claimed, “St, Nicholas bas brought it!"

HORN OIL COMPANY Santa Claus School Trains Jolly Gents In a colonial farmhouse «t A l­ bion, N. ■y., there’s a Santa Claus school and it’s the only educa­ tional institution of its kind in the world. Graduates wear white wig and whiskers, red suit trinnmed in white fur, wide white belt, and black leather boots. A course at the school pre pares the prospective Santa Claus to properly shake when he laughs like a bowl full of jelly, remain calm when a child glares and yells "there ain’t no Santa Claus” and maintain proper diplomatic relations with a parent who thinks Santa has given her tot the brush off. SANTA PICTURED BY THOMAS NAST Thomas Nast. the famous car­ toonist who created our concep­ tion of Uncle Sam, the Republi­ can elephant and the Democratic donkey, is also credited with giv­ ing America its first modern pic- torialization of Santa Claus. Nast first sketched his notion of Santa Claus in 1873. This San­ ta was a rollicking, chubby old man Bnoking a pipe and dressed in what looked like a night shirt with fur collar and cuffs. Since that day he has grown taller and rounder, has developed a full white beard and mustache and has acquired the traditional red suit bordered in ermine.

New Year’s Gift Of Broken Dishes Most Americans would be per­ plexed to find a pile of broken crockery on their doorstep New Year’s morning. However, it’s a time-honored Danish custom to save every dish which comes to grief during the year and hurl it all against the front doors of friends and neighbors on New Year’s Eve. The tossers are supposed to toss and run, but not too fast. Before they get away the householder is supposed to open the door and invite them in for coffce and doughnuts. A pile of broken crockery around any Danish threshold on New Year’s morning attests the popularity of the householder and ia a compliment to his wife's abil­ ity to make delicious coffee and tasty doughnuts. o ir r “A New Year’s gift to the world said the Frost, “Rich lace curtains which noth­ ing cost.” R PATS TO ADVERTISB May the joys of a season noted for its happiness be multiplied for you this Christmas ROWAN PRINTING COMPANY SAUSBURY JOY 10 IHE WORLD...

EIDSON CONSTRUCTION COMPANY Brazil New Year’s A Summer Holiday New Year’s Day (Dia de AnsroJ) Bom. is. imlv. A Red Letter Day .ta Brazil: in keeping with the !hoa~ pitality and gaiety universally associated with the observance of New Years, it is the day par excellence for parties, enthusiat- tic greeting, and general celebra­ tion. Dia de Anno Bom is the middle day of the Brazlian holiday .sea son which begins on Christmas Eve and climaxes on Eplphnny. Christmas itself does ndt .stand out as a time ot merrymaking so definitely as it does among the Anglo-Saxons; the colortiil and Impressive Christmas processions are part of the chnrch lestivdl; in the realm of gift-giving, Epiphany —symbolizing the gifts which the Wise Men brought the Infant Jesus—vies -with and even Iholds a slight edge o\>er Christmas, es­ pecially among the children. Since it is really June in Jan- ttary south of the «quator, the Christmas season lalls in Mid­ summer instead of during the winter, a fact which has endow­ ed the .holidays with P}?” ? .ehar- acteristisc ot Summer time fes­ tivals. In many cities religious and civic organizations sponsor open air “feistas”. These affairs are attended by throngs of people representing all classes of the population, gifts arc distributed to underprivilidged children, while music, flags, and flowers contribute to the general gaiety and festivity. In a land where all festivals are endowed with several sets of customs — those assimilated through foreign intercourse, etc., superimposed upon the ancient tradition^! brought from Portugal —New Year’s Day is inciudsd in the list ot Brazil's national holi­ days'and is appropriately design­ ated as the day of universal brotherhood. »M t » M oaiM iiiM iaiiiSiM iiiM HAVE TREE BASE STAND IN WATER Christmas trees, like flowers, ,will .resp.ond to bein^ ,kept_ with the base in the water. Here are two simple things to do if you want your tree to stay green and fresh. Buy a tree Avhich has been cut as recently as possible. Cut off the end of the trunk diagunolly, at least one incn above the original cut. This will expose a moist surface which will absorb water. Stand the trunk of the tree in water at once, and if it is not to be taken into the house for several days, keep it in a «ool place. It has been estimated that trip­ lets can be expected one in 7569 births in he human family. rr PAVS TO ADVCK'nSE The carp has a larger brain in proportion to its size than any other fresh-water fish, and it is capable of learning tricks.

Then, sudden­ ly, everybody starts singing and humming tunes by the two old masters. The reason for this is that both Bach and Handel were church musicians. One of their tasks was to compose songs for church con­ gregations! to sing, "hey proved themselves mastert> of beautiful easily followed melodies in their Christmas music. Our most fa­ mous Christmas oratories and carols came from Each and Han­ del. “How Brightly Beams the Morning Star” was composed by Bach and his “Christmas Oratorio" contains the themes of several other popular chorales. In almost every town ancl vill­ age in America this Christmas a TREE DECORATIONS SYMBOLIZE MYTHS ’ You may not realize it, but most of the ornaments on your Christmas - tree - are symbols - of myths and legends that were pop- fruit that hung on the branches, and the stars became the golden church choir will render at least a portion of George Frederick Handel’s the “Messiah.” When carolers sing "Joy to the World” they’ll be singing part of the "Messiah“ too, for that carol </omes from themes found in the great oratorio. Handel also com­ posed the musical theme of “While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks." It is a strange fact, but both Bach and Handel were born in 1685, lived for many years within thirty miles of each other, and never met. Yet today, the Christ­ mas music they wrote is sung by men, women and children in countless churchcs of many faiths all over the world. ular three thousands years before the birth of Christ. At that time the Aryian race, living in the foothills of the Himalaya mountains, saw in the rays of the rising sun, bent as they passed through humid air, the image of a gigantic tree. These sun poets added to the tree im­ age suggestions from more dis­ tant heavens; the sun, the moon. The larger clouds suggested birds, swans and doves flying in and about the tree. The golden flash of heat-lightning became the mystical flower that grew on the tree, the celestial mistletoe. The showers that watered the tree came from the streams at its base. From these fragmentary ol'd legends in folklore we get the tree itself, the golden, tinsel to represent the rising sun, the golden fruit for stars and the moon, swans and doves for clouds, mistletoe for lightning and show­ ers or streamers ot silver tinsel :'or water.

Much Family Fun In Group Games “Malio it a real family Christ­ mas this yoar by having Santa pack a few hobby supplies or games into his pack that tho wholo’ family can onjoy together.” This suggestion comes from E. H. Ré­ gnier, a recreation specialist at the University ot Illinois. There are many hobbies thot can help bulict companionship be­ tween parents and children. Moth- esr and daughters like jewelry construction and tapestry weav­ ing. Dad and Junior go in for model-making—airplanes, boats, trains and other items of spécial interest to the male population. Everyone enjoys operating a printing press. Small presses run out newspapers that have a real professional look. Shellcraft and woodburning are hobbies that produce genuinely useful articles. For family fun, rubber-tipped darts, indoor plastic horseshoes and marble games arc excellent. "Christmas is a time of togeth­ erness,” says Reglner. “Let’s cap­ italize on the situation by starting a game or hobby that will en­ courage the same type of compan­ ionship the year around.” Pagan Rites Basis Of Many Customs strange as it may seem, most American Christmas customs, stem largely from Pagan rites practiced before the birth of Christ. The custom of exchanging <jifts is one of the few that springs from the Christion era. Christmas candles, bonfires and Yule loge arise from the heathen festivals observing the winter solstice, De> cember 21. whein the days begin to lengthen. That was a time of great rejoicing for ancient sun worshippers who built bonfires to give strength to the “winter sun- god.” Pre-Christian Romans orna­ mented their hon-^s with green boughs and flowers for tho Feast of Saturnalia which began De­ cember 19. Druids gathered mis­ tletoe for that season, while an­ cient Saxons used holly, ivy and bay. Modern mistletoe and holly wreaths come from tiiose peoples. Christmas trees, too; spring from the ancient German days when Germanic tribes made sac­ rifices to the sacred oak tree of Odin. When the missionary St. Boniface traveled to Germany in the Eighth Century and saw these celebrations he persuaded the na­ tives to substitute a fir tree for tho oak and to adorn it in a tribute to the Christ Child. Durmg the Middle Ages the entire Christmas season was cele­ brated in equal fervor with taht now shown on Christmas day. In some lands the celebration lasted from December 24 to January 6— Twelfth Night—and in others from December 21 to February 2. By the year 1644, Christmas in England ha dbecome such a wild orgy that the Puritans forbade its celebration by law. ^ HERE'S TO YOUR HAPPINESS As we prepare our Christmas Greetings for you, we wish to also include our most cordial good wishes for your continued happiness and prosperity.

SANFORD-MANDO COMPANY Our Christmas Date Started By Romans T.h?. . first.. cpjebrat.ip.n.. .of. .the. birth ot Christ on December 25 took place in the fourth century. Before that date, the commem­ oration of Christ’s Nativity and Baptism was held on January 6. The first mention of Christmos is found in a Roman document known as the "Philocalian Calen­ dar” in the year 354, and the first time the festival was celebrated in Britian was in 598, when St. Augustine baptized 10,000 С9П- verts. In the year 567 the Council o! Tours declared a twelvo-day ie.;- tival from Christmas to Epip­ hany, and in 991-1016 the laws or­ dained that all strife should ccase at Christmas. Christmas was ез- tablislicd in 813 in Germany and in Norway in tlie year 950. Thousands of Bulbs On Largest Tree Three thousand multi-colored electric bulbs and tons of "Span­ ish moss decorate the world’s lar­ gest Christmas tree located in Hilton Municipal Park at Wil­ mington, North Carolina. The giant, 300-year-lod water oak rises to a height of 275 feet and its branches spread 110 feet. Its magnificance has been on- honced by a radio station con­ structed beneath the spreading limbs from which emanates Christmas music that reaches the crowds from loud speakers con­ cealed in the branches and an ap­ parent voice from the heavens that comes from a speaker mount­ ed atop a nearby giant water tower. Throngs of people gather around it each night during De- ■ cember to listen or join in Christ-' mas caroling. The tree won ifs| title as the largest Christmas tree in a contest held several years ago.

MOCKSVILLE BUILDERS SUPPLY Cohimbus Unlucky On Christmas Eve America’s iiTst Christmai'vras relcburttrf- by • ChTistophtr “iCftl- utnbus. It happened on Christmas eve of the memorable year W92. Columbus was planning to ob­ serve th« Feast of the Nativity with the Indian chieftan, Gna- canagari, "who rulod over the is­ land of Haitj. Already he had r«- ceived fine presents from the chicf who he belivBd to be great Khan of Cipango, that fablous realm of the Orient Columbus mistakenly thought he 'had found. But Columbus'. plans went wrong. He was so tired from long watc>ies while the Santa Maria cruised the island channels that he retked to his cabin for a nap. While he was sleeping, the next in commnd *lso decided to take a rest and went below. The helm«- man, as tired a» the others, de- cided that he deserved a rest as much as they and turned t.h? tijler over to a cabin boy. AbandoB Ship The worst happeheo. Within £ few minutes the Santa Maria was fast on a reef. The rolling surf drove the ship higher and high­ er upon the reef and opened her ■earns. Soon she fell over on her side and the water poured into her hull. Columbus and the crew were forced to seek refuge on his other ship, the Nina. Early the next morning Colum­ bus sent word of the wreck to Chief GuBcanagari. Promptly the Chief sent a mesage to Columbus assuring hitn that he would give him all the assistance needed. The noble chieftan was better than his word. He assembled a great flotilla of canoes and des> patched ttiem cto the Santa 39aria to bring all its valuables whore. Amid the cargo the natives saw •nrany flBnes-liiiit-made their-eyt<S‘ open w5de with envy. Tfet so strong vras th iir friendsH^ for the white men and so careful Guacanagari’s ¡supervision that not a single article was stolen. Cliristmas Banquet After the last :article had '.been brought ashore, t!uacanagari had another plan. His .quests had miss­ ed Christmas, but there was no reason why Colnmbus and the men should not enjoy the finw t banquet he ' and Ibis followetii could provide. There was game from the woods, lobster and fish from the sea; and all sorts of tropical fruits and vegetables. A thou­ sand natives danced in Colum­ bus’ honor after the feasting and the climax of the ceremonies came when the chief brought out a coronet of gold and placed it upon Columbus’ head. Tbtra Vvere pre$«nt9 of gold for the crew. tn the journal which he kept for Ferdinand and Isabella, Co­ lumbus wrote: “These people love their neighbors as themselves; their discourse is ever tweet and gentle, and accompanied by a smile. I'swear to your majesties, there is not in the world a b ett^ nation or land.” T1N8BL Old and tarnished tinsel c^n be made to look almost as bright as new by washing it in warm soap suds to which a few drops of ammonia have been added.

ENTERPRISE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24,1948 The greatest joy of the Christmas season is that of the little tots who awaken early Christmas 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 trouble the grov/n-ups have taken to make the occasion a perfect one. Scenes like the one pictured here are among the happiest memories of child­ hood. A little later on these children will begin to learn the deeper signifi­ cance of Christmas. They will learn that the gifts of their parents, in the mythical role of Santa Claus, are but symbols of God's great gift to humanity. The good will, love and luiselfishness of the Christmostide are but a foreshadowing of'the peace and good will that is to prevcdl among men through the teachings ol Jesus, whose birth the Christmas season commemorates. Parents should endeovor to lead their children into cm understand­ ing of this deeper meaning of Christmas—a task in which the Church stands ready to cooperate. FOH AU .. Copjrlsht 1M7 by ^I ■.

(InternationaO New Year Brings Joy, Hope, Sadness Superstition and curiosity prompted the Anglo-Saxons to climb upon their roofs as the ‘Pin Money’ Began As New Year Gift “Pin Money” is a New Yearls expression. It all started back in the time hour of midnight approached on of the royal Stuarts of England when gift-giving on New Year’s day was in fashion. Gloves were considered appropriate for most people, but if a gentleman had saved a little “extra” he gave the money to his wife or sweet­ heart for pins which'wer6 very expensive at that time. The popular ‘pin money’ phrase in our language has survived both ihe expensive pin and the New Year gift-giving custom.

Perhaps more of this “some­ thing might happen” superstition has survived than is immcdiatly apparent. Almost everyone dreads the thought of being alone on Now Year’s Eve: it possible, wo gather our families and friends around us in our homes. In a more serious mood,, an ever in­ creasing number of persons at­ tend “ Watch” services to greet the New Year in prayer and med­ itation; and there is a universal resolve to “do better” next year. Gathering in public places, in Times Square—of its counterpart —we make as much noise as possible — presumably because our primitive ancestors utilized noise as an expression of cele­ bration, believing the din woukl keep evil spirits and influences at • distance. New Year B«lla The New Year belU have ceased to toll for the dying year and now welcome the New Year with joyous peals fymbolic of the hope with which mankind looks forwar.d to a brighter future and a better world, but the nostalgic strains of Auld Lang Syne have become so intrinsically a part of our New Year’s Eve that even the very gayest gatherings would be incomplete without it. Indeed, we stand before the New Year with mingled senti­ ments, not wholly unlike the child of Longfellow’s sonnet: | “Half willing, half reluctant to be led, j And leave his broken playthings on the floor, Still gazing at them through the open door Nor wholly reassured and com­ forted I By promises of others in their stead. Which, though more splendid^ | may not please him more.” ^ IT PAYS TO ADVEaTlSE In the glistening liglits and iiicny inaiiner of the, Christmas Season, niiiy you find complete Imppiiicss and joyous festivity.

While Mother pretends not to notice, one of the children slips in cautiously and ties her feet to the chair. The other children rush in shouting, “Mother’s day! Mother’s day! What w ill you pay to get away!” The mother then buys her release with Christmas gifts.

DAVIE DRY GOODS COMPANY Cannon Fire Hails Christmas in Rome — A-BaP.non-(ired- from ■ the -his­ toric Castle of San Anglco at sun­ set on Christmas Eve proclaims the beginning of the Holy Season in Rome. By nine o’clock every­ one is in church to witness the colorful and solemn processions of ecclesiastic dignitaries which precede the elaborate midnight Mass. Sincc everyone has fasted for twenty-four hours, festivo ban­ quets are inorder after the relig­ ious solemnities. It is a gala after­ midnight in Rome: hotels and res­ taurants remain open, families and friends gather around sumpt­ uous tables in gaily decorated homes; and in anticipation, of the festivities, many peole attend church dressed in formal attire. Between Christmas and Epip-i hany, the Calabrian shepherds— Pifferani—revisit the homes where they were most cordially welcomed during Advent when they came down from the hills to play their Italian bagpipes be­ fore the shrines of the Virgin. Tiie Pifferani play for their Advent hosts during the post- Christmas holidays and receive gifts ot wine, dried figs, and small sums of money from their hosts. Birthday of Jesus An Uncertain Date It is not surprising that the day and year of the birth of Jesus are uncertain, for methods of keeping track of dates during the era when Christ was born were not very reliable. For years eminent scholars have been searching tlie scriptures, and all possible records, to try to estab­ lish an exact date. So far, they have not succeeded. Matthew states that Jesus was born during the reign of King' Herod which helps to establish the period of His birth at^d this is the starting point from which the scholars attempt to reckon the year. The statement by Matthew (hat the wise men from the east in inqiring “Where is He that is born King ot the Jews?” aroused Herod so that he ordered the massacre of all children two years old or less, is very significant. It is taken as proof that Jesus must have been born about two years before this infamous decree waa issued. Noless an authority than the Catholic encyclopedia places the birth of Christ in the year which, by our modern methods of keep­ ing track of dates, would be 7 B. C. This, Christ’s birth does not exactly determine the differ­ ence between B.C. and A.D. date. Most people however, do not care if the exact day and year of Christ’s birth are unknown. What matters most is the death­ less vigor of the Christmas spirit throughout the world. Nut-Bowl Filled From Many Lands Nuts from all over the world go into your nut-bowl at Christ­ mas. Like Christmas traditions, the nuts so popular at this time of year are a mixture ot many varieties and different histories. The English walnut, for in­ stance, is not English at all. It originated in Asia centuries ago and was called "the food of the gods.” The round little filbert and tho almond came from the Old World. Other nuts, so familiar at Christmas, the hickory nut, the black walnut and the chestnut to .say nothing of the pecan, 'are strictly American. The pecan is native' to America and is found nowhere else. Two other Ameri­ can nuts worthy of mention are the chestnut and the butternut. Altl-,ough many nuts originated in oth 'jtr parts of the world, almost every 4 variety known is now growik on American soil and ex­ perts ire constantly searching for more kinda of nutf to tru ip lm t to thi country.

'abuut -this-time o f Uie year there’s a lot written, said and sung about the Magi. Just who were the Magi, anyway? The Magi were priests of an ancient Persian religion called Zoroastrianisnj. The Greek his­ torian Herodotus gives a very favorable account of them and their influence in a society which existed four hundred years be­ fore Christ’s birth. According to Herodotus the Magi were powerful in public and private affairs. They condut- ed the education of young prin­ ces, and were in constant attend­ ance upon the king as counsel ors.' This description ofa Magi ap­ pears in the sacred writings of Zoroaster: “Thou shouldst call him priest, who sits the whole night thru and years for holy wisdom' that enables man to stand upon death’s bridge fearless and with happy heart the wisdom where­ by he attains the holy and glor­ ious world of paradise.” .The three Mogi, or Wise Men, who followed the Star of Beth­ lehem and brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh to the Christ child remain nameless, but they were the first to recognize the importance of the birth of the Prince of ePace. Parents Can Spoil Children’s Play Here’s, a Christmas resolution for parent!. It’s one that ought to be made before New Year’s resolutions are even considered. It goes, “I will keep my hands off the children’s toys all day on Christmas.” It isn’t fair. The children are crying for a little peace and free­ dom. After all, adults can play with toys for the next 364 days if they want to.
