Jessie H. Boger of Mocksville, Route 2, huddled with three companions listening to “Blondie and Dag- wood” on a small radio. To keep them warm they had a stove made of"sn ammunition can. The stove pipe was made of beer cans. Also this foxhole was lined with burlap sacks to make it a little warmer. It was in the middle of the “Blondie and Dagwood” program that one of these burlap sacks caught fire. The fire spread quickly around the hole forcing all four men to scramble out By throwing dirt into the fox hole the blaze was extinguished. However, Pfc. Boger’s radio had been destroyed.

Last week it was reported that the old lights and wiring, used in former years, were in a worn out condition. Also many desired to light all four of the trees on the square in place of the usual just one or two. The Town of Mocksville agreed to install the lights if the material could be secured. George Rowland, local merchant, undertook the responsibility of co-ordinating the efforts along this line. The ^cksville lierchants Association and the local Junior Chamber of Commerce organization imited in efforts to bring Christmas to the Mocksville Community, and agreed to underwrite the expenses of the wiring and the lights. So George Rowland and Nick Mando, contacting the agencies, finaly secured the lighting material at wholesale cost. Last Saturday morning. Town Superindendent An drew Lagle and force, began the job of putting the lights on the trees. Monday night they were turned on and the season of Christmas could be recognized in Mocksville.

The story ot George Luther Walker and the reasons for achieving this honor follows somewhat the similinr pattern of “secession from the land of cot ton.” But let us go back to the beginning. Luther Walker, son of Mr. and Mrs., J. D. Walker, was born and reared just west oi C. C. Smoot’s store in the Davie Academy sec tion. In 1908 he bought a parcel of uncleared land, around 51 acres. On this land he made a $100 down payment, and in succeeding years paid off balance and kept on buy ing. Luther Walker worked hard and cleared off this land. As he cleared it off he planted such crops as cotton, tobacco and a little wheat. In 1914 he started building his house, finishing it three or four years later. Five or six years after that he built a barn. As Luther Walker progressed with his farm building, he began growing less and less cotton and tobacco. And at the same time he found himself acquiring more and more cows. By 1920, ho found himself in the dairy business, selling milk to Southern Dairies in Winston-Salem. ' Dairy and Poultry In 1928, Luther Walker switch ed over and began selling his milk to Coble’s Dairy. He was one o'i the first in this section to sell to this distributor. M r. Walker re calls that Coble sent a little Model A Ford truck on the route to pick up the milk. HEALTH HINTS - b y - DR. RAMEY F. KEMP Chiropractor LVTIIER WALKER (right), one of Davie County’s most progressive farmers is ex-, erting great iniiuence on Davie farming as instructor in the Veterans’ Farm Train ing Program. Mr. Walker was one of the first Davie farmers to secede from “the V land of cotton” to “green pasture type of farming?” Now he is encouraging others to do likewise. Above he is shown with John N. Anderson, Mocksville, Route 1, a veteran of World War II who has started raising feeb cattle on his farm. , DR. C. G. CUTRELL CHIROPODIST — FOOT SPECIALIST 118'/2 North Main Street Washington Bldg. SALISBURY, N. C. Phone 165 Office Hours—9:00 to 5:00 Wednesday afternoons by appointment Luther Walker had married the former Miss Maggie Felker. To this union were born two chil dren, Lester, who is now 35; and' Matalene, age 30. In 1920, Luther Walker went into the poultry enterprise. That year Lester was attending school! at Cool Springs and was taking' a course in agriculture. Mr. Wal-1 ker turned the chickens over to his son and Lester has been an expert poultryman ever since. The Walker family kept pro- gressing, increasing their herd of dairy cattle and poultry, while at the same time raising crops en abling them to live at homo. They planted and cultivated a home orchard that assured them of an adequate supply of fruit. They raised ample variety of vegetables in their home garden. And of course they had an ample supply j ot fresh milk, eggs and meati from their othor ventures. In fact this farm, for many years, has been recognized as one o'i the most complete live at home farms' in this county. The farm also raised the feed for the .cattle.

In all thrM oi these conditions the cause lies in failure ot the kidneys to eliminate the waste materials from the blooil stream.

ENTERPRISE MORE ABOUT“Land Of Cotton” ures have been sowed. Lester Runs Farm 1945 was the last year this Walker family raised any cotton. Luther Walker and his son, Les ter, realized that there was far greater opportunity in the live stock and poultry enterprises. Also, main burden of the farm ing load had fallen on Lester’s shoulders requiring a more con centrated budget of labor. Today Lester is doing all the farming on this farm. In 1946, Luther Walker became the first instructor of the Veterans Farm Training Program and still holds this position today. In this pro-' gram he is helping the returned j veterans to get off on the right foot in the farming business. His experience and success in farm ing qualifies him for this position, j In the meanwhile, Lester is carrying on the 295 acre farm. On this farm is 130 acres of crop' land. The farm is completely mechanized. Home-Made Paint THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6,1951 This family is up-to-date in their' business methods. They have always kept complete farmi records which include income, ex penses and production records. Also they keep the farm and farmstead in an excellent state o'i repair. A ll of the buildings are painted, the barn and the out buildings often being painted with homemade paint. This home-made paint is made from burned cylin der oil, linseed oil and oxide of iron. This point not only pre serves the building but makes them very attractive in appear ance. I The homo is completely equipp ed with all the modern electric conveniences. So with that background in farming, Luther Walker today, along with George Evans and Clay Hunter, is still conveiving ideas for progresisye farming. Through the Veterans Farm Training Program those ideas are being utilized by veterans who are just beginning to seek their fortunes from the soil.

As the drawbar load increases, the hydraulic system uses the weight of the implement plus the weight of the soil to bew down on the wheels. Loca tion of the implement behind the tractor gives it leverage, which multiples implement weight at the tractor axle. ^ It’s entirely automatic. The tractor selects the amount of weight needed. And it’s all a part of the complete WD hydraulic system—no extra equipment. Stop in and let us show you how the WD will do drawbar jobs which ordinarily require a much heavier tractor.

Dr. Hilton pointed to the live stock program as offering great opportunities for this state. He urged the retention of cotton and tobacco as cash crops, but to make more efficient use of remaining land for the growing of Seed and pasture. Rotarian Francis E. Peebles had charge of the program and in troduced Dr. Hilton. E. A . Resch, District Rotary Governor, was present as an hon ored guest. The Farmington F.F.A. String Band provided music.

L. Walton, 20, and Thomas Edward Stone, 17, both of Bririgle Ferry Road, Rowan County. They were apprehended Monday by Sheriff A. J. Shuping and State Highway Patrolman R. A . Callaway. Walton nnd Stone are charged ! with the theft of an automobile owned by Pete Wagoner, Mocks-1 ville. Route 4, parked in front oi i the Salisbury courthouse Friday afternoon.

ЛУаИоп and Stone then drove tho car to near Franklin, Rowan County, where it was abandoned. The two youths then drove off in the iiutomobile owned by Carl Jacobs of that community. This car was parked in front of a scrvice station at Franklin. Mr. Jacobs and Otis Campbell, a pas senger in the automobile, had been on a hunting trip and the two shotguns were on the back seat and the three dogs in the trunk compartment. Patrolman Callaway found the abandoned Jacobs vehicle МоП' day morning concealed in the woods off the Bringle Ferry Road.

As far as it is known, no one from Davie County has yet reg istered with the United States Department of Internal Revenue in compliance with the recently enacted gambling law. The law requires all gamblers to register their intentions of gambling and pay what is known as an occupational tax. Deadline for registering and payment of tax without penalty was Nov. 30. Since that date a five per cent penalty becomes effective each month until it reaches a total of 25 per cent of the total amount of the tax. A t present, according to a recent Associated Press story, the tax is being pro-rated and amounts to approximately $35 for the rest o'i the fiscal year. This same wire report quoted federal officials as saying that persons engaged in the use of punchboards would be subject to the tax. For instance, the report stated, if a punchboard is oper ated in a place of business then each person who accepts w iim on the board must pay th* tax. R ГДТВ TO A D V nm SB Chamber of Commerce.

Everything is chang ing and the world is looking to the United Stai/is ïo r leaders of ' the future. “The discipline, training and the quick thinking of the ath letic fields are necessary in the leadership that this world de mands,’’ Spencer said. Spencer praised the high spirit of the Mocksville boys who play ed the season with a IS man squad. The speaker was introduced by Graham Madison, local sportsman, and -one of the all-Northwest tournament stars of the first tournament 25 years ago.

Sizes for women & children right of the superintendents to enter the policy-making field. Many claim that the school policies should be for mulated by the board of education of the respective coun ties. That the county board of education represents the people and therefore has the responsibility of formulating the policies. This newspaper does not question the motive of the superintendents in adopting such recommendations. With the current scandals, both in sports and otherwise, making the headlines they apparently felt that they should do flomethirig. And perhaps without the study or thought that such a problem deserved, they approved a set of recom mendations that, if atepted, will take the control of the athletic program away from the individual school. There has been much said In recent years about keep ing responsibilities at home—where they belong. When responsibilities are turned over to a group, whether it be on the state or nationalrlevel, a certain amount of freedom and individual rights go along with it. The citizens of this county and the other counties, foot the bill for their operation of their school system. How ever, they have little to say about the running of their respective system. Even the route a school bus must take Is set by a group in Raleigh. Money approved in the state-' wide school bond issue of two years ago cannot be used in Davie County unless it Is spent according to conditions! set forth by the State Board of Education. There are many other examples of responsibilities turn ed over to the State and National Government that have gotten out of hand. Responsibilities that if accepted and discharged at the local levels, would have prevented our so-called trend towards socialism. This newspaper believes that the control of the ath letic program is a responsibility of the individual school and thé school board representing that school. Each school has a different problem, and a different need. It Is a re sponsibility of the school board to handle their own situa tion, and not surrender such responsibility to another authority. It is granted that in some cases athletics have appar ently gotten out of hand. But in every case the fault could be traced to the lack of enforcement of rules and policies already in effect. In fact, if current existing regulations were more strictly enforced there would be no problem. The old policy of “passing the buck” began with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Apparently It has con tinued at an accelerated pace down through the ages. And one cannot help but wonder if this “passing the buck" is not connected with the recommendations by the State School Superintendents in High Point? sibility for moral conduct is to be placed on a system, why was not the system at West Point that tempts cribbing on examinations thrown out insteati of the boys involved? Do we not call the system of trying to place everything on an equal basis through controls . . . socialism? Can you tcach a person to become a good loser if there Is no premium on success? Will a participant exert his greatest effort if there is no incentive to win? And finally, if a system that offers an individual a chance of unlimited success through the diligent applica tion of effort, obedience to discipline, cooperation with others, and gives a desire to win, is wrong—what type of system are we going to put in it's place? The above questions deserve individual consideration before one becomes too critical of present day athletics. PR O M O TED Cpl.

IMIS 15 an inflammation in which the sheath ot the sciatic nerve be-___ co.-ncs swollen and presses upon the ncr%-e fibers so as lo produce pain. The inflammation may be in the nerve itself in which case there is less pain but more or less paralysis. Sciatica has a sudden onset with pain in the hip region and extending downwards. It may be dull or sharp, and is aggra vated by ilc::ing the leg at the hip. To minimize the pain, the pzticnt, in walking, leans to tlie affected side. If the case is severe the muscles of the leg are shrunken, the skin is cold, and there is considerable paralysis. The inflammation ot sciatica is produced by pressure и|юп nerves at the point where they emu from the spinal column. The sciatic nerve is a buridle of fibers which emit from the spinal cord at diffetent places. The point of pressure is not always the same. The inflammation produces It/elling, snd this also causcs pressure on the nerve fibers. If the Kiatic condition becomes chiooic the paralysis ouy bccoiac pet- so loag. mancnt. Prompt sttention b necessary. Many Chiropractors have had cues where the condition has beea cleartii up wilh a short course of adjustmcets. Vi'hen pressure on the nerve is re moved by correcting misalifincd vette* brae, the inflammation subsides and ia a short lime the swelling in the aenra sheath goes down. Certain cooditioot respond to adjustments more i|uickl« than others, and sciatica is one oi these.

ADVERTISING” which have brought a high measure of suc cess, prosperity and profit to a big retailer who spent the greater part of his advertising appropriation in good newsaper copy. He was addressing the National Merchants Association and the retailer’s 10 points were: _ . ^ Advertise regularly. Every issue of the paper takes my story to its readers. I make every ad look like mine. Years ago I adopted a distinctive style and have stuck to it. I use plenty of white space; my ads are never hard to read. I put into newspaper advertising a def inite proportion of my gross sales. I fix this at the beginning of the year. My rule to to make it 3 per cent of the pre vious year’s gross, with more if special conditions justify it.___________________ I think advertising all the time. I buy goods that will advertise well. I get good display for my ads by seeing that the copy is in the newspaper oifice in plenty of time. I do this by having a definite hour to write the copy. Whenever possible, I carry nationally advertised goods that are advertised in m y home paper. I feature them. Sometimes they give me a smaller mar gin than fly-by-night concerns, but I find that I sell faster and make more money I brighten my ads with frequent illus trations— either humorous or practical. I am careful never to over-promise. When I make claims, I back them up with reasons. Then when I really have an unusual bargain people believe me when I “whoop’ er up a little.” 10 in tne end; besides pleasing more cus tomers. I always plan my window and counter displays to link up with my newspaper advertising. Each helps the other. My sales people back up my advertis ing. They often help with suggestions for it, and I see to it that they always read it. —For Consistent Results Use— The Mod($ville Enterprise THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR PAID CIRCULATION % f o u 9 4 U A U e d . . .

Here is a brief summary of the self-employed person’s status un der social security: 1. Generally speaking, cover age o'i the self-employed person is (iompulsory under the old-age and survivors insurance section of the Social Security Act. Self employment earnings from a few professions and occupât-1 ions are excluded by the law it self and cannot be counted to ward this insurance protection. But unless specificaly excluded they count if they amount to $400 or more a year. 2. Old-age and survivors in surance provides very definite protection in terms o fa base for financial security to the self- employed person and his family. Monthly benefits range from $20 to $150 depending on average ^earnings and the matters of the insured’s family at the time ben- fits become payable. 3. The self-employed person must have a social security ac count number to identify the earn ings to be posted in his insur ance account.

PEEBLES, Conntr Afent Breed Cows Artlflciallr During the first 10 months of 1951, 19 per cent of all dairy cows in Davie County were bred ar tificially. One hundred and fifty- four were bred in Novemtter and it appears now that aproximately 200 w ill be bred ic December.

The breeding of dairy cows ar tificially has increased from year to year. There are still many cows in Davie County that should be bred artificially. The semen used in the artificial breeding program is ïrom proven bulls. Proven buils means that they have sired daughters who produce more mille and butterfat than the mothers of the daughters produced. People who Iiave cows now milking who are themselves the result of artificial breeding are well aware of the value of this program. The price is very rea sonable. It is only five dolars per cow bred, which is very reason able. This same five dollars cov ers two additional services if they are necessary to settle the cows. Some other advantages which might be considered in this pro gram is that there is no danger of handling bulls, and the chan ces of spreading diseases is very small, and it costs as much or more to keep a bull than it does to keep a cow. It over the frames of the brood chamber. Put one deep or two shallow supers on top to protect the colony and replace ttie inner cover and cover. In very cold weather the pail can be inverted over the hole in the inner cover, without removing this from the' brood chamber. ^ As long as the bees can get at the sugar syrup through the hoIes,l they w ill suck it down and store it in the cells of their combs in and around the brood riest. In order that the bees w ill make the evening so the excitement caused will be over by next morn ing. Feeding Bees A valuable method of feeding bees is by use of a feeder pail. Any 5 or 10-pound syrup pail with friction top makes a good feeder. Punch a couple of dozen small holes in the lid, fill the pail with sugar syrup and invert the best use of it, the feeding, should be done in the fall and early winter. If there isn’t 50 to 60 pounds of reserve food for each' strong colony, (weak colonies should be united) make up the diifcrence by feeding jugar sy-1 rup. This is done by dissolving! 2 parts of sugar in 1 part of hot I water (Don’t boil.) A thinner, sugar syrup may be used if feed- j ing is necessary in the spring or summer. In estimating the amount of stores you may consider a deep comb well filled as holding six pounds of honey, partly filled combs in proportion. Sugar syrup will add about the same weight as the number of pounds of sug ar sued. (One cupful of sugar weighs oniy one-haif pound, so if a colony needs 10 pounds o'i additional stores use 20 cupfuls of sugar in 10 cupfuls of hot water). Feeding should be done late in Fonltry MectiBK Planned A t 7:30 Wednesday night, Dec. 19, we w il conduct a meeting in the Court House in Mocksville on marketing eggs. Some plans have been made recently for a more satisfactory; system of marketing of eggs in this general area. I think it might be of interest to those people who do not have adequate markets, and we have opportunities to sell' more eggs than are now being produced in the county. We would like to urge every person interested in this type of program to attend this meeting.

McQuage 1938-19491 THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1951 Bntered at the Post Office at Mocksville, N. C., as Second Class Matter Under Act of Congress of March 8, 1879 A CHRISTMAS WISH . . . Dear Santa Claus; As Christmas of 1951 approaches I have but one request. But I make that request on behalf of all the children throughout the world. The request that I make is that you do everything possible to keep the faith of the children. The faith of a child in Santa Claus is perhaps one of the few genuine emotions existing today. Also Santa, if it is in your power, please allow that faith to continue from childhood on into manhood andj womanhood; from faith in Santa Claus to faith in our fellowmen. Such actions would have their own rewards. As you undoubtedly know, Santa, the revealations of the past year has been very deterimental to faith in our' sports, and other human weaknesses, have caused many to lose faith and become cynical. This lack of faith is spreading at an alarming rate into the everyday life of the individual. Santa, today many people are looking for the worst in an individual, and of course they are finding it. They are condemning an entire system. Individuals are suspicious of their neighbors and ac- quaintenances, reading ulterior motives in most every action. Public opinion is rapidly changing the concept of innocent until proven guilty to guilty imtil proven inno cent. This disease of doubting is fast becoming an epi demic. Santa, if possible, let each individual see this Christ mas through the eyes of a child. Let each feel the fervent hopes and desires that a child goes through in anticipation of Christmas. Let each experience that feeling of reward that faith in Santa Claus reveals on Christmas morning. And then allow this same faith to carry over into the every day lives. A happy life cannot exist without faith. Perhaps it is because of this faith that we often refer to our happy childhood days. *niis is my request Santa, please keep the faith of the children. They are our citizens of tomorrow.

R. F. D. 4 Salisbury Road Mocksville, N. C. particular program of agriculture. One does not have to go too far back ino the past of Davie Coun ty to find where the income from farm products consisted almost solely of the sale of cotton, to bacco and wheat. The entire farm ing program revolved around these three crops. The farmer put his eggs all in one basket, as the saying goes. This putting of “all the eggs in one basket ,was not satisfactory. It was too much of a gamble— too much was involved over which the farmer could exert no control. Also, these crops made a heavy seasonal demand on labor, which was a problem often difficult to solve. "Necessity being the mother of invention,” some of the Davie farmers began looking around for means of supplementing this in come from cotton and tobacco. A few farmers began selling cream, shipping it themselves to distant milk plants. Milk Plants Then a m ilk processing and distributing plant opened up in nearby Winston-Salem. Some of the farmers went into the dairy business, selling their milk to this plant. Soon a milk route be came established making the R%arket more readily avaiable. More farmers joined in the bus iness of producing milk for sale. As more and more farmers be gan entering the dairy business, a demand was created for other processing and distributing plants The Yarmcrs of Davie, joined the farmers of Forsyth and othei H№ № № № c«e!№ Etc«icts!«@ e«!eeg>æ@ @ «ts)«e!eis!«!C!C!ec«w 'CURRENT IDEAS' neighboring counties to form a co-operative to process and dis tribute their milk. Also another plant opened in Lexington and a new m ilk route became establish* ^ in Davie. W ith the availability of these new markets for dairy products, Davie farmers began to change their concepts of farming. In ad dition to dairying— beef cattle, poultry, swine and sheep also of fered new opportunities for add ing to the farm income. Economical Production W ith a market for the products, the next problem was more econ omical production. In 1940, fam ily cows accounted for a big share o'i Davie County’s dairy animals. M ilk production was low, aver aging only 3,930 pounds per cow Breeding stock of all types was poor. It took four acres of tho best recommended pasture to feed one cow. Both livestock feed and livestock products were be ing imported on a large scala. The dccade between 1940 and 1950 saw the rise of our thriving grade A dairy industry. Making use of research, Davie farmers adopted Ladino clover pastures! I capable of supporting one cow per acre. Better breeding and management had raised average milk production to 4,460 pounds, j In 1950, Davie had 510 farms classified as field crop farms, j These were broken down into 44j cash-grain farms; 98 cotton farms;] 368 other field crops. The same year farm ccnsus re port shows Davie having 142 dairy farms; 24 poultry farms; 31 livestock, other than dairy and poultry; 140 general farms; and 661 unclassified farms. However, regardless of how the farms were classified, 1,231 farms,! ing stock through the artificial out of a total of 1,58, reported cattle and dairy products. Of this number 345 sold whole milk; 42 sold cream; 136 sold butter and skim milk. Of course the above figures do not tell the complete story.-How- ever, they do indicate that Da vie County is seceding from the "land of cotton” to the land o'i "green pastures.” Factors In Trend There have been three defin ite factors in the trend into the livestock program. (1) Electrification. In 1950, the ccnsus survey showed 1,324 farms in Davie County electrified. Through the use of electricity it became possible to have running water, electric milkers, and other aids necessary to a grade A dairy and livestock program. Without electricity on the farms Davie County would not have gone far in the livestock program. The majority of this electrification on Davie farms was brought about by the R EA. (2) Veterinary Medicine. A pre requisite for any livestock pro gram is the availability of a specialist in animal diseases fam iliarly known as a Veterinarian. This is the animal doctor that prescribes the care and treat ment Yor the livestock to keep them in good condition and pre vent outbreaks of animal diseases which may.be very dangerous and costly. For the past ten years, Da vie County has had the services of one of the top men in this! field. Dr. Clyde W . Young. (3) Artificial I n s e m ination. Another factor in the progress of the livestock program has been the availability of quality breed- insemination program.

OUR COUNTY AND SOCIAL SECURITY Jobs on farms are more attract ive now that wages from regular farm employment begin to count tov.-ard old-age and survivors in surance protection througli the recent extension of the social se curity law, according to Wardell K. White, manager of the W in ston-Salem social security office. Local farm irelpers feel more satisfied to stay on the job now that they ean look forward to the same insuranie protection as do worlcers in other fields— protect ion against loss of income if re tired after age 65 and loss of fam ily income if a worker dies at any age. The amount of this in surance protection ‘for a family ranges from $20 to $150 a month, depending on the worker’s earn ings and the number of depend ents in his family. Mr. White pointed out the farm worker coverage under the social security law is compulsory for those regularly employed by one employer. He staled that at the close of each calendar three-month period, farm operators must re port the wages of workers meet ing the employment test for regu larity. "Generally speaking,” Mr. While said, ‘‘a regularly employed farm worker is one who has work ed for one employer a full calen dar quarter and continues work ing for tho same iarmer at least CO days in succeeding calendar quarters. Farm workers not meet ing this test do not have their wages reported for social secur ity purposes.” Farm operators obtain forms by registering with the Collector of Internal Rev enue, Greensboro, N. C. After initial registration the report forms are sent continually to the farmer at the close of each calen dar three-month period. The Soil Conservation Service was created by Congress in 1935. «£%'IS^ 9iLL ìà HOW YOU CAN FEEL AND LOOK YOUNGER THAN YOUR YEARS NEW FORMULA QUICKLY RESTORES VIGOR TO FOLKS “OLD” AT 35-45-55 EnerglKe your system, tone upj your nerves— get a fresh lease on' Life with New III-V iT A TonlcI This medically - proved formula' goes right to work quickly to! wake up your sluggish organs andi five you pep and vitality.

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 prominently the communication below, expressing at the same time our great gratification that its faithful author is numbered among the friends of The Sun; “Dear Editor—I am 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 noth ing 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 Riere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as com pared wth the boundless world about him, as meas ured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole truth and knowledge. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus....He exists as certainly 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 enjoy ment, 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 poor papa to hire men to wfatch' all the chimnejrs on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus, The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof they are not there. Nobody can con' ceive 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 men that ever lived, could tear ^apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and pic ture 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 God! He lives, and he lives forever. A thousand yeais from now, Virginia, nay, ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood. PAGE TWO THE MOCKSVILLE (N. C.) ENTERPRISE THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1951 EVERYONE WANTS TO SEE JUST ONE “GOOD OLD” YULE "How I would long to see just one more old - fashioned Christ-' mas ..." These are iamiliar words at the time of the year: Before the Yuletide season is over, some member of the family, grand father or grandmother, probably,' is certain to pass that remark, as they have done each Christmas of the past. And yet, if we search back into tho records . . . to the turn ot the century, say . . . we find that, even then, someone was wishing for "an old - fashioned Christmas.” It is then that we re alize that the celebration of the birth of Christ has not changed greatly with the passage of cen turies. Basically, Christmas is the same, year after year. It is only the world and the people who are not the same. He may not admit, but when grandfather first began to raise a family, he overheard his ciders musing over the changing Christ mas customs and heralding the approach to "complete commer cialism" of the Yuletide celebra tion. Even then they were worr ied. • No one can deny that Christ mas has been greatly "commer cialized” since the days of early America. Yet, so has the entire nation. In the days of our ancest ors there were none of the vast trading centers and commercial marts that we know today. Our very way of life has been greatly changed with modernization. Our holidays, and Christmas is the principal one, have managed to keep abreast. Still, without reservation, Christmas is basically unchanged in its true meaning as a celebra tion of the birth of the Christ- Child redeemer, come to save the world. No matter how great or how small the presents piled be neath the tree, each Christian heart never ceases to remember Records Show Yule Customs Were Old In Fourth Century The exact age of the Christmas festival is not known.- Records show, however, that the holiday was spoken of in the fourth cen tury as a custom of long stand ing. Christmas began as Christ's Mass, or the Mass of Christ, some time during the fourth century. It took that long after the blessed night for the great importance of Christ’s birth to be realized by the people. Until this time it had been the custom of the church to celebrate the anniversaries of deaths, rather than births. Christ’s birthday made an occasion for feasting. The date for the celebration of the Christ Mass was selected by the church. So many years had elapsed that the actual date of His birth could only be a matter of conjecture. The festival and spirit of Christ mas spread through the Christ ian words. Pagan customs, even as they do today, attempt to ad apt themselves to the Christmas season. For many years after the origin ot Christ’s Mass the church frowned upon the practice of ex changing gifts during the festi val season. Later, however, in remembrance of the spirit of the Three Kings of the Orient who; had followed a shining star to the crib of the new-born Christ, bring ing presents with a sense of hu mility. The peculiarities of potatoes that affe.ct their desirability for chip making and french frying are becoming belter known as a result of time-temperature stor age studies by research men of the U. S. Department of Agricul ture and some state- experiment stations. Mistletoe Outlived Sinister Meaning Mistletoe, once used as a wea-1 ] pon of death, is now almost a* universal symbol of love and'Ipeace. According to Norse mythology, there was a god named Balder, who personified the sun. Loki, another god, plotted to destroy Balder. Balder’s mother, wljpn she first learned of ,Loki’s intentions to kill her son, obtained a promise from all living things that they would not harm Balder. AU agreed, but the mistletoe, so it was with a mistletoe arrow that Loki induced Balder’s bling broth er, Hoder, to kill the sun god. Higher powers intervened, how ever, and Balder was restored to life. The mistletote was placed under Frigga’s care, and the mother of Balder saw that it was never again used to do harm. The custom of giving a kiss of love or peace beneath the mis tletoe is an assurance that it will never again be used as an in strument of evil. ST. FRANCIS MADE FIRST CRIB IN CAVE St. Francis of Assisi is believed to have originated the custom of displaying tho Christ Child in a crib at Christmas time. He is reported once to have said to one of his followers: "I' wish to celebrate holy Christmas night with you. In the woods near the cloister you will find a cave where we shall arrange a manger filled with hay. We shall j have an ox and an ass just as at Bethlehem. I wish to see how poor^ and miserable the Infant Saviour became for us. So at midnight, in the small Italian village of Garcia, in the year 1200, S t Francis and his followers celebrated mass at the cave and sang hymns in honor of the Christ Child. f f that Christmas is Christ's day.IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE Nothing rtminds us more ef th« holidoyt than o Chrlttmot tctnc, whflthtr it b« on* of o winttr iondtcop«, a rooring firoploco, or chiidrtn ploying with bright now toys.

IRVIN AND CORNATZER PONTIAC inURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1951 THE MOCKSVILLE (N. C.) ENTERPIUSB PAGETHSEf r Santa Through the Years It’s little wonder that Santi Ciaus is especially generous to the American people. History proves that the Americans have done a lot for Saint Nick! fThey have given him a new name, a new face and figure,' and . a new means of transportation. The original European version of Saint Nick pictured him as « tall angular man who rode on a bony gray mare. Both the horse and Saint Nick looked as if they hadn’t had a good meal in some ■ time. The early English settlers in this country started giving Saint Nicholas his “New Look’.’ The English children adopted the leg endary Christmas figure from the Butch, but the English children had trouble pronouncing “Saint Nickolous.” Somehow the name changes to “Santa Kalous,” and finally it was corrupted to “San ta Claus.” However, this was only the be ginning. In 1809 Washington Ir ving, in his “Knickerbocker’s His tory of New .York,” wrote of the Saint as the guardian of New York City. Irving described Saint Nick as a jolly fellow with a broad-brimmed hat and huge breeches. He taught Saint Nick to smoke a long pipe, and, in the story, replaced his shuffling hay- burner with a trim wagon. A short time later, Saint N ich -‘ olas’ transportation was aided by Clement Moore in his famous poem, “The Visit from Saint Nich olas,” written in 1881. Moore, a professor of divinity in a New York theological seminary, gave Saint Nick a sleigh, twinkling eyes, cheeks like roses, nose Uke a chery, and a round little belly. Today’s Santa Claus is by no. moans streamlined, but he is a far cry from the lean, ascetic, somberly dressed fellow who, for centuries on Christmas Eve, guided his mare through the streets of Europe.

Christmas Was Once Holiday That Moved About on Calendar Christmas was once a movable feast. The eastern branches of the Christian church usually cel ebrated it in April or May, West ern Europe sometime in January. In 337 A.D., St. Cyril, Bishop of Jerusalem, set out to make the date universal. With the per mission o'i Pope Junius 1, he ap pointed a commission to determ ine, if possible, the precise date of Christ’s nativity. The theolog ians of the Church finally agreed upon December 25, and since the year 354 this date has been cele brated.

However, after receiving thou sands of letters from all over the coutnry, and talking to thou- sands-of youngsters on street cor ners and in department^ stores, Santa usually comes to the same conclusion each year. Times and customs change, but children seldom do. Requests that Santa receives follow a general pattern cach year — everything from bicycles to roller skates and cowboy suits for boys, with dolls and elabor ate accessories the favorite with the girls. • There are some exceptions. Lots o'i children make requests for useful items, typewriters and such, in the hope of becoming writers and stenographers. Last year one had asked for a Bengal tiger.

Peoples o'i all nationalities and religions celebrate the birth of Christ. The customs of the many nations are as varied as the peoples and their faiths are different. In the Scandinavian countries, a Christmas tree made of a sheaf of wheat bound to a pole, is raised for the winter birds. In Norway, rice pudding is always an important item on the menu for the 'Christmas dinner. One al mond is baked in the pudding and the person who finds the almond in his portion is always the tirst to get married. Chinese children made odd stockings by sewing three pieces of muslin together, and hang them up on Christmas Eve to hold the gifts brought by Lan. Khoong- Khoong, which means “Nice Old Father” to them, Santa Claus to us. The ‘old-fashioned” American Christmas, while reflecting the traditions ot,many countries, most closely resembles th« traditional English Christmas, complete with plum pudding, miiOetoe, cattOers.

It was such a suc-j cess that it was repeated year after year. Christmas Eve brought the spir> if of the old west to Anson. Cow boys donned their colorful dress, their gay shirts and decorated boots. Cowgirls outfitted them selves in gingham dresses “like mother wore." A cowboy band swung out and the dancers per form the heel and toe polka, the Varsouvienne, and other old folk to honor one Cross P. Charley, dances.

SILER FUNERAL HOME & FLOWER SHOP St. Nicholas Possessed Of Great Virtue, Piety Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, was said to have been a saint of great virtue and piety. A n ancient legend is told that he became the patron saint of: school boys when he restored to life the sons of a rich Asiatic, who had been murdered by a robber- inkeeper while they were enroute to school in Athens. It is said that he was warned of the crime in a vision, but was unable to reach the inn in time to prevent the murders. He restored the boys to life through prayers and also forced the murdered to confess his crime to authorities. Origin of Gift'Giving Told In Many Versions There are many interesting ver sions as to how the custom of gift giving at Christmas time started. Some believe that it all came from ancient England, where it was once custom to hang kissing rings in the great halls. These rings were decorteed with mistle toe and were the key for a pleas ant holiday pastime. It is said ------------------------------T----------------j Origin of Symbolic Tree Shrouded in Old Legends The origin of the Christmas tree symbol is shrouded in leg ends that reach back to the per iod of Druid tree worship long before the advent of Christian ity. Credit for tree decorations and gift-giving, however, is gen erally given to Germany, where the customs were started in the 16th or 17 centuries. Over a per iod of years the practice spread into nothern Europe and from there to America. Outdoor tree decorating is es sentially an American trademark and a special feature of commun ity spirit. The best known outside displays in America are on the White House lawn and at the Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. Candles For Christmas Candles have lighted Christmas eve around the world for gen erations. It has long been a custom in Ireland to place a lighted candle in the window to guide the Christ- child on his way, and teh use of candles appears in other lands in many ways. In Czechslovakia, for example, tiny candles are set upright in nut shells and floated in pans of water. Armenians use myriads of candles in preparing their Christ mas decorations. At unique church services in Labrador each child receives a little candle standing in a tur nip, and keeps it until after the services, at which time the turnip is eaten. In Norway, families arrive at church on Christmas eve, each carrying a flaming torch. These are stuck in the snow while the good folk attend the services. PAGEFIVS that the young knights and ladies would come to the kissing rings with Christmas roses for their secret sweetheart. This started it all. Now gift giving is traditional.

Tree Deccration Has Ancient Source In Arabian Legend When you fasten the ornaments to your Christmas tree this year you will be commemorating a centurios-old Arabian legend that relates how plans blossomed and flowered and trees miraculously bore ripened fruit on Ihu eve of the first Christmas. In fact, the Christmas tree it self stems from the story of a Scandinavian “sacred" tree and Martin Luther, a German is said to have brought the first one in doors and decoratcd it ïor the Yule season in the early 16th cen tury. These are only two of more than a score of legends from which today’s Christmas symbols and customs stem. According to Jean nette Lee, who has probed their origin for nearly a dozen years, the American Christmas symbols from candies and bells to kissing under the mistletoe — have no common nationality. They have come from all parts of the world. .. Mrs. Lee,- -who is supervisor of creative art for a greeting card company, constantly utilizes the traditions and emblems of the ■festival as • ornaments for Christ mas cards and is just aa constant ly searching for new ones. This year, for example, the bright-col ored tree ornaments arc iii high vogue as decorative devices on Christmas cards. CHRISTMAS HELPS WORLD’S ECONOMY Many people, with the total exception of children, have come to believe that Christmas has be come too commercial. In a spirit ual sense,this is true to some ex tent. Economically, however, no other holiday of festive season contrib utes so much to the welfare of the world. Christmas has hardly passed into the new year before thousands are at work on toys and myriads of other Christmas specialties for the next holiday. Each year, as the lights of Christ mas trees twinkle on a wintry night,how many of us think of the millions who have gained em ployment through the Christmas shopping industry? And yet, "too commercial" may be an overstatemem. ‘ Is it too wrong, once a year, to make the dominate theme one of giving, rather than of receiving?

It has been estimated that, wolves has destroyed 500,000 J of Santa's helpers within the last decade or so, leaving an approxi-l mate 50,000. The difficulty of keeping the animals alive in a temperate cli mate makes it unlikely that any of the few remaining will be' transported from their native re gions to other lands for the holi day season, as has been done in the past.

Here is how it all began. On a December day in 1846, a middleclass Englishman, Henry j Cole, sat at the library desk of his London home addressing to his friends what were probably the first Christmas cards ever printed. The cards depicted a Vic torian family assembled at the festive board and the traditional Christmas customs of giving to tho poor. They also bore out the now-classis greeting: "A Merry | Christmas and a Happy New Year to you.” Cole, in a historic move, two months before had commissioned John Calcott Horsley, a Royal Aeadmey artist, to paint the illus-! tration for the card and had off a thou.sand lithographed cop ies. He dispatched them that De cember. This was such a mark-^ edly successful stroks of good will THE LEGENDS OF CHRISTMAS There are almost as many Christmas legends and super stitions as there have been Christ- masses.

The bee jiives are always adorned with holly sprigs for the Yuletido season. I In Europe it was custom for a young girl to creep to the fam ily woodpile on Christmas Eve and pull out the first stick that her hand touched. If the slick was a straight one, with no knots, tra-, dition said that she would have a good husband. | I Farmers in Europe also gave torches to their children and sent them singing into the apple or chards and the fields. The mice,! caterpillars and moths were saidj to flee be’iore the approaching songsters. In early Germany it was a be lief that water turned into wind during the hour before midnight on Christmas Eve.

It was a belief of the ancients thr.t tho first to bring Christmas holly info tho house, either hus band or wife, would be the one to rule the household during the en suing year. But don’t put too much stock in the belief. Like other Christ mas legends, the truth might be lost in history. The Druids wore great admir ers of the holly plant. Th ey'be lieved that its evergreen leaves attested to the fact that it was never deserted by the sun, and was therefore sacred. Legends have related how the crown ot thorns was plaited from holly. The leaves of the plant were white until the Crucifixion, after which they turned a deep, blood red. A holly wreath placed on the door is believed enough to fright en away even the boldest of witches.

The slaves often soaked a log in the cypress swamps long before Christmas so that it would burn slowly, and extend their Christ mas freedom.

The entire chapter then was read carefuly, with the belief that the message it carried described in some way the happiness or misery in store for the person adhering _to the practice.

NEW YEAR’S DAY PASSE ON ALL OLD SUPERSTITIONS Through centuries of celebra tions, New Year’s Day has man- aged to pass on to each succeed- ing generation the superstitions that people of olden times held about the first day of the year. Residents of England once be lieved it to be an ill omen if one shared a lighted match with an other on New Year's morning. English maidens, and Scotch ones, as well, made a custom of rush ing to the well at the stroke of midnight. The first to taste oi the water would have the best luck during the ensuing year. Residents of the Isle of Man held that a dark complexioned person brought good fortune with him if he were the first to enter a house after the new year had begun. A light-haired visitor was believed to be a bearer of mis fortune. In early America, New Eng- autumnal equinox, September 22, marked the beginning of a new year for ancient Egypt.

RELATIVELY NEW, UNIFIED TIME The "Gregorian calendar haa been in popular usage only since the late- 18th century, and was the first calendar to bring about such a world unity on the time front. Yet, it has not satisfied every-j one. In fact, someone is always trying to introduce a new one. One of these, concocted by a schoolboy about the time of the cent years.

Monday, incidentally, al ways starts the week, with Sat urday and Sunday at the end of the week where, it would seem, a week end belongs. There are 91 days in each quar ter, with 30 days in each of the first two months of a quarter; 31 in the third, sixth, ninth and 12th months of the year. Christ mas, birthdays and all other hol idays would always fall on the same day each year, and, a feature appealing to the superstitious, there would never again be a Friday, the 13th. And, lest we forget, something I for the gals, leap year day would be a distince 24-hour period be tween June nnd July— one more chance. The calendar was worked out by Willard E. Edwards.

New Year Banquet Shows Variations All Around World Feasting has always been an important part of the celebration of New Year’s and menues differ around the world. The New Year’s Day banquet in England and Western Europe is similiar to our American feast, chief difference being the choice of side dishes. Turkey, duck, or goose makes the popular roast in England, with plum pudd ing topping off the meal. Turkey is again ’found in France, although capon and pheas ant are as popular. The holiday fowls of the Latin countries are bedecked with truffles, chestnuts and olives and one mieht find Old Irish Celebration Was ‘Baking The Cake’ Old Erin had one of the most unusual New Year’s day celebra tions to be found anywhere, called “baking the cake,' it was a favorite with Irish peasants. Proud husbands would invite alio f their friends over to parti cipate in the ceremony and par take of the “gude woman’s bak ing,” When the cake was fully pre pared, the eldest son took it and hurled it with all his ¥orce against the door. Everyone scrambled to pick up the . pieces, for, accord ing to the superstition, he who picked up the first fragment to! touch the floor would have a home and a New Year’s caki snails on a menue in France. A n important dish among the Spaniards is sopa, rice cooked with olive oil, tomatoes, vege tables and meat particlcs. Afri cans partake of cous-cous, which is composed of wheat grains, lamb and vegetables.. Pickled greens, raw fish, roast bird and shrimp fritters are head liners among the Japanese, with pickled chrysanthemum petals considered a delicacy. The Swedes temper their feast v.’ith a special drink called glogg, which is a claret wine sweetened with sugar and flavored with almonds, raisins, dried orange peel, cinn amon, cloves and cardamon. It is usually set afire before serving. Chinese Thought Debts Had To Be Paid Up By End Of Old Year | The Chinese long held a New Year’s tradition worthy of note. No doubt made popular by early! the ne.\t year. money-lenders, there was an old belief that if one did not pay all debts before midnight on New Year’s Day, they last “face.” For centuries China celebrated New Year’s during the time of the first moon, usually about the first of the February— but this was befoj-e the adoption of the Gregorian calendar in 1912. In earlier tirnes, celebrations began a week prior to the Eve, when homage was paid to the Kitchen God and climaxed on the ‘fifteenth day of the First Moon” by the Feast of Lanterns, or “Teng Chieh.” It was a custom to exchange greeting cards and pres ents through the entire season. acclain^ing the proposed calen dar.

To a limited extent it is still played in some parts of England, as well as in America. The original game called for a quantity of raisins to be deposited in. a large bowl or dish.
