. . 'Employds at the Main Office df .the Greenville Post Office ere caught right in the midst of mailing each Christmas seeson.'Here are some of the 56 employes hard at work. (Reflector Staff Photo) ' -

The advent of December marked the start of one of the biggest races in town. . .the annual race against time at the Greenville Post Office.

The Christmas mail rush Ls still in high gear, Postmaster J. Knott Proctor noted today.

Postmaster Proctor expects Decembers mail volume to total 1.5 million pieces, exceeding last December's total of 1,250,000 pieces.

The sloppy weather on Monday slowed mail delivery, but everything in the local system was expected to be moved by late this afternoon, according to Proctor.

The 56 employes of the Greenville Post Office will have a holiday on Christmas Day. No mall will be delivered on Wednesday.

New reports from Postmaster General John A. Gronouski. in Washington, D. C. to Proctor indicate an anticipated nationwide record mail volume for this Christmas season of nearly 12 billion pieces during December.

Shopping and mailing early benefits everyone, the local postmaster observed. Customers who buy early get the pick of the Christmas stocks; the local economy is aided by the business activity thus created, and everyone including the postal service is happy about the additional time that early mailing allows.

The Angel Said Unto Them, Fear Not

AT THE FIRST CHRISTMAS . . . **the angel laid unto them, fear not: for, behold, 1 you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.* (St. Luke 2: 10, 11)

But, not everyone follows this line of thought, he said. Each year the week of Christmas is our busiest time.

Christmas is at hand again, with all the good feeling the iulc season brmgs,

In homes from coast to coast, Christmas treeswith their sparkling lights and decorations are brightly glowing.

Christmas can be a merry one if you keep it lire-safe, says the Natioiial Board of Fire Uuderwriters.

A Christmas tree not properly cared for can be a fire hazaid. A tree properly maintained will bring joy.

This poem from the National Board of Fire Under, writers is worthy of our attention at this time.

THE (FIRE-SAPE) NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS Twag the night before Christmas and all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse, When down through the chimney, all covered with soot.

Came the Spirit of Firean ugly galoot.

His eyes glowed like embers, his features were, stem

As hfc looked all arouna for something to burn. What he saw made him grumble, his anger grew higher,

For there wagnt a thing that would start a good fire.

No door had been blocked by the big Christmas

It stood in the comer, leaving passageways free.

The lights that glowed brightly for Betty and Tim Had been hung with precaution so none touched a limb.

All wiring was new, not a break could be seen. And wet saand at its base kept the tree nice and

And would you believe it, right next to the tree wag a suitable box for holding debris!

To all the rules of good Fire Prevention.

Various clubs for women here in Greenville have had a variety of activities during this holiday seas(i.

A sampling of club works showed a wide interest in helping less fortunate families in our midst; and they have been doing something about it.

Take for example the Greenville Service League: They have made tray favors from red candy canes for patients in Pitt Memorial Hospital. The members decorated a Christmas tree in the main lobby of the hospital and individual swags were placed on each door.

Samll Christmas trees were placed in the nurses dining rooms, in the childrens wing and on each floor in the waiting rooms.

A donation was made by the Service League to the N. C. Mental Health Association and members delivered Christmas baskets to needy families Dec. 22.

Last week, individuals of the Greenville Chapter assisted in the purchase of clothing articles for needy families the Moose helped: others were wrapped toys for the underprivileged children who were guests of the Lodge at a party Sunday aftcmo<m. Women of

Mrs. Howard Ellis Cox, the balls general chairman, as we talked recently in her century-old Manhattan home. Although it can be a fairly hectic job to pick a list of 50 beauties eax:h year, and arrange the work of numerous committees for the ball, Mrs. Cox, a tall, slim blonde, lias an un-shakeably cheerful nature.

The girls get prettier every year, said Mrs. Cox. Audiences at the ball always focus on the French girls as if they had an obligation to be sensational, but theyre often more conservative than the South American or Italian debutantes.

Mrs. Cox doesnt think that there are strong differences In fashion or beauty ways between girls from this country and the other continents.

Fashions in clothes and hairdos travel so fast nowadays. Some of our European debs wait to buy their gowns in New York, even while ours are demanding Paris dresses.

Big balls nowadays have the double purpose of cutting down an individual debutantes expenses and benefiting chairty. The international Debutante Ball (to be held this year December 30 In ManhaHan.s Hotel Astor) bene-

Among this years debutantes will be Diana Kingsbury-Smith daughter of Joseph Kingsbury-Smith, publisher of the New York Joumal-American.

There isnt as much com-petitlion in gowns as one might think, although all the girls are allowed to express their own tastes, said Mrs. Cox. We

find theyre all likely to follow gentral fashion trends. The bouffant debtente dress is pretty well out, and the slimmer ones in. Fabrics vary widely, but of course every girl is in white, which ties things together Hairdos are sometimes overdone, but as there are rehearsals, Mrs. Cox and her co-chairmen are able to make discreet checks.

Hooker Memorial Christian Church young people Frid a y visited the pediatrics ward at Pitt Memorial Hospital, taking gifts and cheerful words to the patients there.

And practically all of the church youth groups from throughout the i^y have visited shut-ins, the jail or the hospital to bring words of cheer, like First Presbyterian Church young people and adults did Sunday.

The Presbyterian youth, as^d youth groups from the Eighth Sti^t Christian Church, the Immanuel and Memorial Bap t i s t (ihurches and (rthers, have prepared baskets of fruit and food for those more in need ttian themselves.

And the young people working together through the Interdenominational United Christian Youth Movement collected toys from homes throughout the city.

Better Cotton Crop Reported

Story Of Our First Christmas

LUKE: 2.1-19

And it came to pass in those days that there went out a decree from Caesar Aiigustus, that all the world should be taxed.

(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)

And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

And Joseph also went un from Galilee. out of the city, of Nazareth into Ju-(lon. uoto the city of David, which is called Pethleiiem: fbecaue he was of the house and lineage of David;)

To be taxed with Mar^' his espoused wife, being great with child.

And so it was, that while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should he delivered.

And she brought forth her firsthnm son. and vranhed him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for t>em in the

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the ^lory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid.

And the aneel said unto them, Fear not; for behold. I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all peonle.

For unto vou is bom this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.

And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

And suddenly there was with the angle a multitude of heavenly host praising God and saying.

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

And it came to pass as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, I^et us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the hahe lying in a manger.

And when they had seen it, they made known , abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.

And all th^ey that heard it wondered at those thing's which were told them ,by th<=> shepherds.

But Mkry kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.

He Was Turned A wav Before; What Of Now?

Two thousand years ago in the little town of Bethlehem, tucked away in the Judean hills, there was bom a child, the Son of God*, the Prince of Peace.

On the occasion of His birth, there was no room for Him in the inn of the town. His mother found refuge only in a stable, and there the child was bom, a manger for His crib.

In the two thousand years since His birth, the Prince of Peace has sought in the hearts of men the refuge that was denied on the occasion of His birth. Except for a few shepherds, a few wise men who came to worship Him, and the chorus of angels, the world was indifferent to His coming. The hearts of men were so filled with worldly things, that they gave little notice to Himuntil He became a man and disturbed their pattern of life to the extent that they put Him to death.

This is the anniversary of the birth of the Christ Child. A strange stillness will fall over the earth tonight as the celebration of Christmas is carried out in its various forms and customs. There will be a much greater ado about Christmas than there was over the birth of Christ two thousands years ago. But in the hearts of too many of the worlds citizens today, there will be the same indifference toward the Christ Child than there was on that night in Bethlehem.

There lingers the coldness and indifference. There is still the smouldering of hatred, the unfulfilled ideal of brotherly love; the selfish desires of men which overshadow their concern for their fellow men. These are the things which banished the Christ Child to the stable for His birth. They are the barriers which steel mens hearts against His words and His example even today.

On this Christmas eve, men can do nothing to change the scene at Bethlehem those centuries ago. The inn cannot be opened, the stable cannot be ignored. The only refuge for the Prince of Peace, whose birth is celebrated at this season, is in the hearts of men.

And each indivdiual, as he searches him.self, as he contemplates the true meaning of the season* must make his own decision concerning the Christ Child. Each in his own waj^ will either provide refuge for the Christ Child in his heart, or will turn Him away as He was turned away In Bethlehem.

Celebrating The, 3irth Of Chris

What* This, One More Cardd

By RON AUTRY

hlow

ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) Ever have a year when It'just (Udnt' seem like (Christmas?

Thats the way it was fw our family this Christmas Mason at flist.

Work and the routine of living had crowded In. Gift buying and card jnailing were behind schedule.

Besides, Christmas. reqtiirea children,,and one fle^Ung had' married during the year and the other was testing is wings in high school.

So we had that bah-humbug feeling about Christmas-

We heard the ccnstaht Ware of loudspeakers with carols everywhere, and Uiey ^read more Irritatioo than joy.'Hicy seemed to stand for form and not substance, anti-Christmas and not Christmas.

And we grew mwe disenchanted with'the holiday.

Still, there were rituals that

tmas

needed performing.

One was the purchase of a Christmas tree.

There are only two kinds of trees the ones that turn brown and drop all their needles ^ within two days after you buy them and the ones that inexplicably stay green' for weeks.

And. you spend houm prudently selecting me from a suiier-.. market,, a fly-by-nlght' stand or a Boy Scout.

But as I prepared for the search, 4 friendly neighbor named Bill Terry invited me to go along with him. A friend had said we could cut^ a tree from his woods near Stone Mountain. . <

It was like being invited to a quilting or a htisklng bee. To me, those stories about people cutting a tree for themselves out in the woods had always seemed to be merely did wives talcs a half-forgotten cos-

Other Editors Saying-. Void In The Labor Low.

(Lotrisville, Ky. Times)

The U. S. Simreme Court has clarified an earUer ruling upholding the right of states to ban agency-sh<g> clauses in union contracts. These are clauses in union contracts. These are clauses wherein labor and management agree that all employees represented by a union In collective bar-' gaining must pay dues to that union whether they are members or not.

an 8-0 decision handed down this week, the court held that state courts, rather than the National Labor Relations Board, have jurisdiction in enforcing rlght-to-work laws which fwWd agency-shop agreements. Thus, organized labor lost what one Washington reporter described as perhaps the last round in its legal battle against thiS; tePe of state legislation.

The outlook now is for intensified legistetive battling at both state and federal levels. The unions are expected to step up their efforts to repeal right-to-work laws expected to fight just as hard for their adoption by other states, m addition, the unions no doubt will bear down upon Congress to withdraw its' delegation of authority to the states to le0s-late tal this field.

This brings up a questim that has been hanging around unanswered for more than a decade: Wlr has Cmgress. white willing enough ^to permit tills dubious delegation of authority, never granted states the

right to legislate against public utility strikes which can cripple an entire community overnight? This has alwaj seemed to us glaringly inconsistent.

Until 1951 about a dozen states, taitludtaig Indiana, had compulsory arbilratlon laws which forbade strikes and lookouts affecting such vital public services as dectrictty, water, telephones and mass transportation. The' Supmme court that year voided ' this type of state teglslation on the grouhd that It invaded a field which had been pre-empted by the federal government in pa-age erf the Taft-Hartley law. This left a serious void since the federal law contains no provisims dealing with this special problem.

Congress could enact such provislMis If it wanted to. Or it could delegate this power to the states as It did not hesitate to do in tile case of right-to-work legislation. If the latter Is to be defended as a concession to statez rights, one must coochide' that from the vtewixrfnt of Congress^a state has the right to throttle unions but no right whatever to protect its citizens > frwn the In-ccHiveniehces and hanidps of a utility strike. This dMsnt sense.

Wed l&e to hope that the anticipated tug of war over right-to-work legislation might draw Conghess attention to the urgent need. ' fiw something that would protect utility users, but unfortunately nothing out of the past encourages such hope. The Louisville (Ky.) Times.

tom.

A cold win was Uowtaif when Terry and I arrived in the woods with his two sons. Tim and Mark.

We saw. passably good trees immediately and Wanted to cut.

But Itai disappeared. Wo heard him in the dtaitance.

Come over this way: he cried into the wind.' "Ive found a perfect one!

By the time we arrived, he had moved on ahead, shouting that iM had found an even prettier tree.

Then we followed Maik, who also had found a b^ter tree.

And as we walked, the voices of those happy and searching children seemed to be symbols (rf the spirit of Christmas hopefully beckcxiing us through the cold winds of doubt nd indifference.

.We found our perfect trees, two shapely cedars.

Next day my family began to decorate the tree.

It was then that we realized what a .truly remarkable tree We had. For we had not been the first to adopt the tree and take it into the family.

Deep Inside the branches and clinging dose to the trunk was a small and deserted birds nest unharmed by time and stocms.

Perhaps it was the assdcia-tlon with birth, or the association with flown fledglings, but somehow that, tiny .nest seemed aiH>ropriate and 'significant. We left it untoucld.

And the' feeling of Christmas crept into our home at last.

By Jims CHAMBERLAIN

C(rf>yright. 1963, King Features Syndicate. Inc.

Yes. said the school teacher, we'll have Christmas canrfs this year as usuaL But 1 tidnk a word of warning to you children is in oi^ der. We are singing the carols for no special reasmi, if anyone asks you. I wouldnt havs it get back to the Supreme Court that we are disobeying any law. Well, children, wed begin with O Uttle Town irf Bethlehem.

The children sing. Their volees, mingling juvenile sopranos ind tenors, reach a pitch of youtiiful exaltaticm in' the linea about the Everlasting light shining in Bethlehems dark streets. The teacher is a bit perturbed.

D<t put so much into it, chiklren, she says. Mr. Justice Warren might think you were exalted by Faith. And, as you know, we cant have religious exerdses in school. We could have time out for meditation though. Maybe you could sing the carol silently to ymirselves. . .Well, anyway* lets try Away in the Manger, no crib for His bed. But sing It as if its just a song, something like Annie Laurie* or Old Man River.

So the children sing again. Their voices sound ten der when they dwell on the plight (rf the Little Lord Jesus without a pillow. The teacher le worried again.

(aUldren, children, she slcyt. You cant stress the word Lord so Jondly. Why, if Mr. Justice Warren were to hear you, he might think you really- were getting it from me that Jesus is your Lord. . . Well, well now try 0 Come, All Ye Faithful.

The children sing. They sound joyful and triumphant, even adoring, as they match the words with spirit.

This is really too much for the teacher. She looks over her shoulder apprehensively. Well, she says, I guess weve had enough of that. And you must remember, Ive just given you the carols as an exercise. You are to treat this experience as a part of your history course. You know, there was, historically, such a thing as the Christian religion. Some of you may have read the Gospel According to Saint Luke. Well, there w'as a man named Luke. There was also a man named Matthew, and one named Mark, and one named John. They were disciples of the Saviour er, I mean the historical figure who was called Jesus. They wrote s<ne accounts of his birth, life and death. Its all very Interesting, as part of history.

Well, as I believe Mr. Justice Warrens Court would have me tell you, there are other reUgiH, too. All historically very interesting. You may have heard of Mcrfiara-med. He* called his deity by the name of Allah. If I had only had time to think about these things In advance, Instead of teaching you arithmetic and grammar, I wtwld have , found you some sMigs about Allah. Then we could have been really Impartial. Maybe there are some good songs about Buddha, too, though r dont really know. I guess Teachers College at Columbia will have to start up scmie new courses to train teachers In all the religions. They could have a course In Comparative Carol Sing 1 n g. But that wouldnt be methodology, would It? No Indeed, It would be a course in ccmtent. and they wouldnt have time for that.

By this time the children are becoming restive, even bored. The exaltation (rf the carols has evaporated. Outside the school they can see the Christmas lights going on in the streets. They are thinking of Christmas trees at home. They can hear Adeste, Pldelis* chanted outside. They are waiting !(' the three oclock bell to ring, so they can go out Into a culture that will remind them of Sauita Claus (whose first name means Saint), and the spirit of Christmas giving, and maybe going "to church to hear about St, Lukes story of the Nativity. They can hardly wait to get away from the clutches (rf a school system that has declax-(Continued On Page 8)

A Bit Of Madriess In The Lane.

By LOYAL PHILLIPS

Tomorrow the world commemorates the birth oi a Baby Whose arrival was heralded by , an angel chorus and a moving star. We pause in wonder and gratitude because what took place at Bethlehem was the most significant event in the history (rf the universe.

Nearly 2,000 years have passed since the Heavenly Choir sang of "Peace on earth and good will toward men. Yet the divine message brought by the angels is not forgotten and Is still lifting mankind to new heights of h(>e and achievement. Today we realized anew that the birth at Bethlehem and its divine meaning are more real than the sun over-' head or the earth underneath.

Although long prophesied, the arrival of the Savior was met with skepticism and even scorn. Mans small and cynical mind could not comprehend the willingness (rf the Worlds Creator to subjecrt His Son to a lowly stable birth in a hillside village Since the Christmas event has no pre

cedent and no counterpart, our faith Is still taxed to accept the benign gilt of a Savior for whose sacrifice man is unworthy, c

As we study the scriptures covering man's relations b i p with God since ancient times we find no reason for assuming that God in His infinite and long suffering patience might sacrifice His only Sod in behalf (rf all people including the rebellious hordes who deny His very existence.

The scriptures tell of many miracles but nowhere is there an instance where the Lord of the universe made such an overwhelming expression of love for the unclean and the n(m-bellever. Always a jus^ Jehovah. His vengeance was felt on many occasions by heathen Idolators who turned their backs on Him.

A brief review of the major miracles from the Holy Book may enable us to better appreciate Christmas as the one supreme phenomena (rf all tlme.s.

BY ELMER ROESSNER

There is a bit (rf madness abroad tar the land.'

It is the Idea, fostered in high places, that cutting tax. rates, without cutting govern-' ment expenses in proportion, <:an create scrfid prosperity.

This Idea is like suggesting that n alcoholic can father strength to forswear the stuff by taking another swig of Dublin Dew.

Increasing or extending prosperity by cutting taxes below expenses is like increasing the prosperity of a family by tx--rowing several thousand dollars at the bank and buying steaks and gadgets.

The idea that cutting taxes csin generate prosperity .can be disproved by that old method of redUctio sd abssbr-dum we learned in ,seoond-year high. If cutting taxes by 111 billion starting nekt' January can extend prosperity through 1964 and 1965, why not cut taxes $22 Irfllion and enjoy la dolce vita through 1^? Or why' not* cut taxes $44* btlll(m' and enjoy la dolce vita through 1967? Or why not cut taxes $44

billion and be fat and prosper-why not cut out taxes altogether and let everybody live the life of Texas oil mlllino-aries?

PIPERS GET PAH)

One (rf the things the babes in Congress and in the White House ought to learn is that the money the government spends must c(xne fixHn the people. That applies to Federal, state ' and local governments. It also applies to your wife.

The billions the goVemnoent spmds must c(gne from the people In taxes. If not coUe<rf-ed in current. levies, then it must come from their children and their grandchildren and when that form erf oollection Is imposed, the youngsters and the unborn, must not only pay for our spending but pay tbs interest charges on it tooand the Interest charges may be m(u:e than tbs biUkns (rf debt we pss on to them.

There Is another way of making up the money spent. That is to Inflate the currency. Instead of paying for spending out'of taxes, the govefnment can create more currency by an intrirate system ef berrow-

INFLATION IS A TAX

This inflation of the money supply is, in effect,^a tax. By Increasing the money supply, the government reduces the purchasing power Of the dollar.

This if difficult to explain, but easy to understand if you are close to 40. If you took out an Insurance policy 20 years ago, you paid for it in dollars you or your widow would buy three pounds of T-bone steak. But the dollars you or your widow would get back today would buy <mly three pound of hamburger and it would be loaded with fat at that.

And the money peoirfe have put away in savings accounts, annuities and bonds has been shrinking In the same period. Inflation' Is a tax that sucks the buying power out of savings. And at tax cut without a corresponding cut in govern- ment spending is Inflationary and therefore is a tax on savings or the passing generation. CONFESSION OF OiTLATION

Nonsense? Why Cbngress itself has had to Increase 8o-ter twice m long? Or

cial Security Payments several ttanes because the dollars Social Security has taken out of paychecks over the years are worth so much leas that the present generation must pay more to keep the old gaffers In pap.

Od of the most amazing things is that top economists and Ug> (x>rporation men have been saying that a tax cut Is good. It is needed to keep todays prosperity continuing. The corpondion men have a selfish angle; If taxes are cut in 1964 their management wlQ look good because the profits will increase.

But why the economists, wbo know better, keep saying that a cut In taxee will be good for the country, and that bal-lanelng the Fe^teral budget is a pedantic exercise'* in these days of managed economy are things they have not been able to get through my thick skull.

A cut in taxes without a cut in spending is Uln inviting the Joe Dogkes to open an unllmit** ed charge account at Nick Martini's saloon, ing.

Phants ShowIn One Years Time

By CHARLES VAUGHAN Reflector Sports Editor

Two points are all that sepa-*rate the Rose High School Phantom cagers from an undefeated season, but what an improvement over last year at this time.

When the Christmas holidays rolled around last year, t h c Phantom cagers Were without a victory on their record and had been setback in three outings.

Of course, these three defeats were not disgraceful as all three losses were to 4-A schools.. However this season,

. Coach Bo Farley and his charges really should have a very merry Christmas.

Rose Highs Phants have claimed three wins over 4-A schools in four outings, their only loss was a one-point, 62-61, verdict to the Rocky Mount Blackbirds in double overtime.

Last year, Greenville dropped two games to the Wilson Cyclones before the holidays. One game was lost 65-49 and the other 63-39.

Also last season, the Blackbirds had defeated the Phants prior to Christmas by claiming a close 44-37 victory.

The tide has turned this

season, as the Phants hold two victories over the Wilson Cyclones and one win over Rocky Mount.

The Phantoms toppled the Cyclones 62-50 in their opening game victory and then swept past Rocky Mount 67-60 in their second venture into the 4-A circuit.

Rocky Mounts Blackb i r d s then visited the Phants and handed them a narrow one-point defeat in two overtimes.

Last Tuesday aight. Rose High hopped back on the winning wagon with their second win of the season over Wilson, an impressive 52-^ decisicm.

Although it always takes at least five men to win a basketball gome, a good portion of the Phantoms early success could probably be traced to the performances of Rodney Knowles.

The 6-8 senior center, who is one of the most sought after high school stars in the state, has been setthig a torrid scoring pace thus far in the season. With game totals of 24, * 44, 21 and 24, Knowles has been the big gun for the Phants.

Knowles has scored a total of 113 of the Phantoms 246 points for a per game average of 28.3. The defensive ability of

Knowles in the blocking of opponents shots has played a big part in the Phantoms being able to hold their opponents to 197 points in four games.

Each member of the Phantom squad also has played an important part in the early success of the Phants and should they continue to function as well in the future as they have in the past, the Phants may well be the team to watch in the Northeastern Conference.

It takes a special type of boys to play hard and give all hes got and yet reap very little of the rewards. Rose High has this type of boys.

However, the whole team docs reap at least one reward and that is they all share In the victory.

Mike Cavendish, Melvin Hudson. Sonny Taylor, Tommy Jordan, and Malcolm Beamon make up the remainder of the first six Phantmns.

Now and then, one of these boys wiU score in double figures but for the most part, they usually score only four to eight points. Why?

Because theyre smart and they all want the same thing, a victory. With an outstanding ballplayer like Knowle.s who stands 6-8, the smart thing to

do is to feed him the ball and let him lay the ball through the hoop.

Both Cavendish and Hudson have shown that they can pick up the offensive slack should Knowles have a bad night. Knowles hasn't had a bad but Cavendish stuffed in 12 points against Wileon and Hudson poured in 15 against Rocky Mount.

Taylor and Jordan have both proven highly effective offensively under the boards, and both have been instrumental in the rebound department for the Phants.

Beamon, a reserve guard.

has been impressive in p o t duty for the Phantoms. The speedy guard is noted for his defensive ability and is a very capable ballhandler.

Despite the tremendous offensive prowess of Knowles, the Phants could be called a well-balanced team. Anyone of them is capable of getting the job done.

With a good start prior to the Christmas holidays under their belts, local fans can loeto-for the Phantoms to be on Iff " the best teams in the area during the remainder of the season.

asi

The other day as we were running around town doing our last minute Christmas shopping, we happened to meet a short, plump, jolly little fellow who said his name was Santa Claus. Having heard something about this jovial fellow, who dressis in red, has a long white beard, and rides around on a sleigh pulled by reindeer, we decided to relate to him some of the Christmas wishes of a few Pitt County coaches. Not knowing what all of the local coaches might want for Christmas, we were unable to supply Santa Claus with a complete list. Heres how the Christmas list for the coaches stacked up:

CLARENCE STASAVICH - membership

in the Southern Conference, a complete 10-game football schedule, one blocking back to replace Maurice Allen, one end to replace Richard Honeycutt, and one Little All-American middle linebacker to replace Frankie Galloway. ^

WENDELL CARR A credit card which

will guarantee the successful signing of any high school basketball player desired by the East Carolina coaching staff. Of coarse, a winning season may be an appropriate gift for the first year coach.

EARL SMITH - A basketball schedule

with more home games. After all, the 1964 base-ballers only play about 4 straight here in Greenville. Could also bring him a top-notch catcher, a third baseman, a first baseman, a few outfielders, and about five Sandy Koufaxs.

ODELL WELB.ORN - Christmas came

early for Coach Welborn as he directed the Bucs to several victories following Stasavichs absence due to a heart attack. However, Coach Welborn may want a few track stars to appear on the East Carolina campus during the spring.

BOB Gantt - a few extra special

wrestlers would be a big help to the Pirate head wrestling coach although the Bucs are doing fine as they are. Gantt, assistant football coach at EC, also, got an early present with the Pirate football con-duests.

BUD PHILLIPS - About four 350-pourid

linemen who are as quick as cats on the football field. A couple of baseball prospects in the form of a catcher and a third baseman would also prove helpful.

BO FARLEY Five basketball players

who are bigger and better than Rodney Knowles (impossible). But he will need at least one player to replace the 6-8 center when next years cage season rolls around.

DON BENNETT ' A very successful wrestling season as Coach Bennett is one f the hardest working coaches in the area.-

RAY MARTINEZ - A swimming meet

against North Carolina Slate during the year that the Pirates are at their strongest.

F. R. SANDERS A football player that

never has an ache or a pain. One that is impossible to injure in any way. ,

TOMMY - LEWIS - Replacements for

Godfrey Little, Joe Harrington, Mac Carmichael, Billy Bateman, Jackie Collins, and a host of other footballers who will not* be returning to the great Ayden football team of 1963.

ELBERT MOYE - A year when football

injuries will not be so numerous. -However, Coach Moye won the Coastal Conference championship despite many setbacks.

BOB RAINS A successful football season in wliich the Robersonville Rams can beat both'Avden and Farmville by 50.points.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Four Play Golf Unusually, Iwo 01 Them Blind

By RALPH BERNSTEIN Associated Press Sports Writer

Phyadelphia )ap) About 10 years ago George Fazio, who later lost in a playoff for the U.S. open golf championship, and another pro. Pete DAngelis, played in a very unusual golf match.

Before leaving the clubhouse, Fazio and DAngelis were blindfolded. They were led to the first tee., HEIR OPPONENTS. Bob Allman and Charley Boswell, already were on hand.

As Fazio said later, the match mercifully for the pros was rained out after three holes. They staggered all over the course while their opponents shot one or two over par games.

Allman, one-time captain of the University of Pennsylvania wrestling team, and Boswell, former All-America football player at the University of Alabama are blind. Fazio and DAngelis described their own feelings as helpless and asked a question that has eben posed many times sincehow did All-man and Boswell do it?

Joseph (Budi Lewis, profes-.sional at the Manufacturers Country Club here, has been teachine blind golfers since 1945, and nothing a blind golfer does amazes him.

There is no question In my mind, says Lewis, "that with regular practice and a good coach, a blind fellow could play almost as well as a fellow who can see. They can play in the 70s for 18 holes.

The serious part, conference play, is still two weeks off for a majority of the nations myriad teams, with this weeks annual Christmasi holiday tournaments serving as the breaking point of the season.

Brief Rest For Bucs During Holidays

By CHARLES VAUGHAN Reflector Sports Editor

The East Carolina Pirates, coached by Wendell Carr, take a brief rest over the Christmas holidays before returning to a schedule with plenty of rough games ahead.

Coach Carrs charges already have had their share of rough (Hies and have comprised a 3-4 season record (Game with Phillips Oilers not included).

The most spectacular effort put forth by the Pifates thus far in the sason could be either their first half performance against the Lenoir Rhyne Bears or their first half performance against the Davidson Wildcats Saturday night. In either instance, the Pirates could have given any team in the nation a battle.

, In the game with Lenoir Rhyne early in the season. East Carolina displayed sparks of brilliance as they roared to a 20-8 advantage after the first ten minutes of play.

The Buos then went on to lead the Bears 34-28 at the half and then tallied a 77-64 win over the visitors. '

Saturday night against Davidson, the Pirates were equally Impressive.

'ECC held a 28-21 lead over the 10th nationally ranked Wild-

Remember Yogi And 7 Others

NEW YORK (AP) When Yankee Manager Yogi B e r ra was first placed on the teams spring roster in 1947, seven other catchers were listed.

They were Ralph Houk, Sherm Lollar, Gus Niarhos, Aaron Robinson. Charley Silvera, Ken Sil-vestri and Bill Delninger.

cats after the first 12 minutes of the game. The Bucs, fighting to score an upset, held the Norfolk, Va. basketball fans spellbound as they controlled the game for the most part during the first half.

However, the Bucs began to falter near the close of the initial stanza and fell behind the Wildcats 41-39 at the close of the half. The Wildcats came back in the second half to put on a show of their own and claim a 105-77 victory.

The other Buc losses Include the University of Richm o n d Spiders, High Point College, and Elon College.

The Pirates lost to Elon la^t Thursday night in the finl championship game of the Cam.p Lejeune Christmas Tour-nament.

Including among the ECC victories thus far in the season are Lenoir Rhyne, Frederick College, and Wilmingt o n College. If the Bucs c(Mitinued to play and show as much improvement in the future as they have in the past. East Carolina students and fans will see plenty of basketball in the new year.

Six players make up the main portion of the Pirate cagers and they are Bill Otte. Don Holman, Bill Brogden, Jerry Wood-

side, Gerald Parker, and Bobby Kinnard.

Otte, a 6-7 senior center, has led the Pirates in the scoring column on almost every occasion. He did have a bad night at High Point when he was held to a mere four points.

At a guard position, transfer student Holman- has played a major role for the Bucs thus far in the season. Holman is a consistent double figures man and is a senior transfer from Utah State.

The other guard for the Pirates, a seasoned veteran who is a junior named Brogden, is another player who scores in the two-digit column consistent-1 ly. Brogden has been a starter for the Pirates since his freshman year and could well be the player which could pull the Bucs together after the holi-

Gerald Parker, a 6-3 forward, is also a veteran from last years club. During the first few games of the season, Parker was being used in reserve. However, he has prove(' a valuable player for the Pirates under the backboards and has moved into the starting lineup on several occasions.

A pair of sophomores actually hold the key to success for the East Carolina cagers. They are Woodside and Kinnard. Both were outstanding players on the freshman club last year.

If these two sophs come around soon for the Bucs, ^d they have given this indication. East Carolina may give the rest of the teams on the schedule a little too much competition?

The Pirates will have 15 games left on the schedule when

1964 arrives and among these 15 games are tilts with William & Mary. Virginia Tech. The

DOVER, N. J. AP) When members of the First Memorial Presbyterian Church here start making CHirlstmas plans, thermometers are registering In the high 80s, and the shoppers are weang summer cottons.

Christmas - in - July has long been an annual event at the church, a time when stacks of presents are donated for December use In Presbyterian missicms in deprived areas.

The summer Christmas Is nearly identical with the winter one. A huge, lighted Christmas tree, covered with balls and lights, stands in the sanctuary. A mound of presents surrounds It. Carols ring out from the choir loft. From the pulpit, the minister, the Rev. Hugh McHenry Miller, preaches on There Must Be Another Christmas.

Each year the churchs gov emlng body chooses a different group of recipients for the Julv Christmas giving. Last year, presents were sent to the Cuban Refugee Center of the Fir.st Spanish Presbyterian Church in Miami. Others have gone to Indian children in relocatiwi centers In Utah, to Alaska, Puerto Rico, Berlin, Korea and China.

The July Christmas extends beyond the church doors too. Mrs. Dorfkhe Lannlng, choir director, annually gives a Christmas party for school and college students in the garden of her home, and the music of O Come, All Ye Faithful, floats through the summer air.

Caribou, Muktuk On Menu Of Eskimos

Suit Is Brought Over Lost Cat

, FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) -Children all over the world, in! some small oomer of their; hearts, must secretly envy the j children of Barrow. |

For how much closer can one' get to Santa and his workshop? j

Barrow children are quite familiar with reindeer, except the flying kind, and the bright rednosed variety.

Only a few of the oldest people ih the village remember the coming of the missionaries. Around 1900 these missi(iaries brought with them the story of Christ and Christmas. They also told of the three wise men and the Christmas Star.

But the Eskimos knew of this star long before the coming of the missionaries. The old people | say that long ago it was noticed at this time of year that an exceptionally large, bright star appeared above the horizon. It was! accompanied by a smaller star.'

During the time of the longest darkness, in the latter part of

December, those stars would line up together.

Then celebrations would begin in small villages across the Arctic. Families and friends got together to hold contests, play gamqs and share their food. It was an occasion everyone looked forward to.

Games of skill and endurance still are played in Barrow at this time of the year. They begin the day after Christmas and continue until the New Year. Men, women and children participate.

And what will the children be eating for Christmas dinner at Barrow? Turkey for some, but theyll also eat caribou, which is a large deer, and muktuk. The muktuk, whale skin, has been saved from last springs hunts especially for the Christmas feast.

(Continued From Page 4)

Vexed by a wicked generation, God covered the entire entire earth with flood waters. Forty days and forty nights of rain destroyed every liv i n g soul except the eight individuals permitted to enter Noahs ark.

To protect His faithful Hebrew followers and to identify Himself as the one God, He sent frightful plagues into Egypt. Locusts, lice, frogs, hailstorms and body sores tortured the arrogant Pharoah and his rivers were turned to blood. To bring Pharoah to his knees, Jehovah finally slew the firstborn in every Egyptian family.

Sodom and Gormorrah were turned into ashes along with all their lascivious inhabitants. To this day the destruction of those cities is used as an example of what can happen to the wicked.

To deliver His stem com

mandments, Jehovah descended to Mount Sinai through a pillar of fire. It is interesting to note that of the ten commandments, nine represent negative admwiitions. In laying down these laws to His chosen Hebrews. Jehovah showed little sign of patience or mercy. The Mount Sinai tablets of stone exacted an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. *

To deliver the city of Jericho into the hands of the Israelites, Jehovah destroyed the citys walls and permitted Joshuas army to kill ail the evil residents save one single family.

To discredit false idols worshipped by the Philist i n e s, Samson was divinely empowered to kill hundreds of heathens by demolishing an entire building.

The Christmas miracle is different, Just as the love of Jesus differs from the law of Moses. The gift of His Son, although mystifying, is living proof that God cares enough

for man to enter human life as its lowest level. Christmas is a dramatic and abiding symbol of Gods reliance on the power of love, rather than vengeance, to save mankind.

Through words and deeds the Bethlehem Messiah demonstrated the Fathers deep concern for all people, particularly the underprivileged. He preached to the poor, comforted the broken hearted, restore sight to the blind and healed the sick continually exhorting His follov;ers to emulate Hi exsunples of love and compassion. Out of the cold, drab Bethlehem manger, came a new and posl t i v e warmth to humanity. Thus, the hope of the ages had Its realization when the Bethlehem hills echoed the immortal promise of the angelic choir, peace on earth, good will to men.

Today w^e divide the history of the world at the birth of Jesus. Today people in every nation rejoice because the outlook for humanity grows brighter and brighter since

CHEYENNE AP) A Cheyenne animal hospital has been sued for $3,225 as result of a lost cat.

Laura and Bill Hopper, Cheyenne, claimed the animal hospital lost their cat which was left there.

The suit seeks $25 for the cat; $200 for advertising in an effort to find It: and $3,000 for mental and physical anguish.

Chamberlain..

(Continued from Page 4) ed the culture of the West off bounds, except as history, like the culture of Zen Buddhism, or Zoroastrianism, or Mum-bo Jumbo.

The Supreme Court has spoken. So far as school is conceiTied, Christmas is Just part of a museum piece called the past.

Deity became human through a miraculous birth at Bethlehem 2,000 years ago. It is indeed fortunate for all that Christmas has become the most universally observed festival among mankind. It is changeless and ageless, rooted in the annals of time. Above the carols, the greetings and the outbursts of elated children the ancient messianic promise still comes through: Pear not; I bring glad tid-.. faigs of great joy to all peo-.. pie.

"There was a lot of Christmas spirit at school, however, I had tests the week that we got (Hit for the holidays and I had* to do my Christmas shopping after I came home.

The most important thing at Wake Forest is the people students, prirfessors, administration and personnel. They .brMulen (Mies outlook and increase one's tolerance. Thats one reascm why dorm life is so helpful and almost essential. You have to learn to live with others, Ann stated.

By going to college, I meet a variety of people and the work is quite a challenge. Marsha stated.

i It Ls Christmas, the most joy-I ous season of the year. It is the , time for all little boys and girls I to hang up stockings for old Santa Claus. It is the season when those away from home strive to return.

i It is a time when we all feel ' a little closer to God, It is the j birthday of Jesus whom God i sent to lead us to the golden I gates. Christmas is a .season I of hope and joy and good will 1 among men and peace on earth!

This is Christmas and who j has more to be thankful for than : those of us who work so closely j with natuie. Surely we are bless-j ed with the opportunity of feel-' ing closer to God because of Ihc work with the soil and the good plants that grow- out of it.

This is a peculiarly close relationship with a most significant part of Gods great plan of the universe.

SPECIAL LIMITED ENGAGEMENT!

UNCUT! ORIGINAL LENGTH!

M'&M and

And w-e who are engaged in the w-ork of conserving the good earth and maintaining and increasing its fruitfulness must stand in awe as we realize the necessity of doing the job. It is a service for present stewards of the soil and for future generations to come.

We know that soil erosion and wasted w-ater resources means an eroded and depleted people. We know that the conservation of our soil and water a wise stewardship of these God given resources means a healthful and prosperous civilization.

We know that under the wise leadership of Hugh Bennett and others we have been blessed to go forward fast in this conservation movement, and we realize that we must move even faster i in the future for so much needs I to be done so quickly.

Your Pitt Soil and Water Con-sei-vation District Superv 1 s o r s, i Arch Flanagan, Hugh Winslow, j Robert Little, Curtis Martin and I Lewis Lane ask you to think | ' soberly on these things this sea- son and at the same time w-ish | you and all a Men^ Christmas | and a Happy New Year.

And those of us in your Soil Conservation office, too. join; our District Supervisors in W'ish-ing you all the joy and happiness of this Christmas seascm, and a Prosperous New Year.

In Peru, Gifts Of 'Nino Jesus'

LIMA, Peru JAP) When Peruvian children wake up on Christmas morning they jump out of bed and start looking for toys that tlw Christ Child (Nino Jesus) left during the night.

The boy might find a bicycle under his bed and the girl a doll by her shoes.

It Is a happy time for the youngsters, especiaUy. School is out until next April. Summer is almost here south of the equator, And traditionally the family is together during the holidays.

In Catholic Peru, the holidays are ushered in at a midnight mass on Christmas Eve.

Afterwards, the famUy goes home for its Christmas dinner turkey and all the trimmings.

In most families, the birth scene (Nacimiento) is built showing a tiny manager, the Christ child, Joseph and Mary and the Three Kings. Candles are lit and the family kneels and prays before dinner, a custom the Spanish conquistadors brought to Peru in the 16th Century.

Richard Stokes III Dies In Texas

Mr. Richard Carter Stokes III, 40, died in El Paso, Texas, at twelve noon Sunday.

The body will be brought to Greenville for funeral a h d burial.

Mr. Stokes, son of Mr. Richard Carter Stokes Jr. of Greenville, and the late Mrs, Helen Laughinghouse Stokes, was a native of Greenville, and attended the Greenville City Schools and Woodberry Forrest School at Orange, Virginia. He was a member of St. Pauls Episcopal Church and the Greenville Elks Lodge.

Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Ann Finch Stokes; two daughters, Frances Stokes of Smith-field and Olive \Meadows Stokes of New Bern; his^ father, R. C. Stokes Jr. of Greenville; two brothers, Charles L. Stokes of Maury and John L. Stokes of the home; and a sister, Mrs. Ben J, Floyd of Texarkana, Texas.

The family requests that flowers be omitted. Anyone desiring to do so may send a contribution to the Laughinghouse Bed Memorial Fund, sponsored by the Greenville Service League.

NORTH POLE off!

Santa Claus is on his way at last:

The jolly old saint and his famous reindeer are zooming through the arctic skies right now, heading for the American border. Hell reach it tonight.

The Northern Lights switched (Ml to a clear, steady green the go ahead signal. And the Royal Canadian Mounted Police sent Santa this message:

We are clearing all air lanes in your path, old boy. There is no speed limit for you tonight. The sky is youre. Go as fast as you like. Good Luck.

And Santa needed that wide clear road in the sky, for his big red sleigh was piled so high with gifts it overflowed. It looked like a flying hayrack as it raced through the cold crisp air.

Oh, dear, oh, dear, woiTied Santa, just before the takeoff, I do hope none of the presents fall and bean some poor innocent rabbit down below. I believe this must be the heaviest load Ive had in 20 years. Whats he fretting about? whispered Bonder to Vixen. Hes only riding in the sleigh, we have to pull it.

Vixen laughed so hard the bells 'on her harness tinkled in merry music. And all the other reindeer laughed too.

Just then Mrs. Santa Claus

came running out waving a long piece of paper.

You almost forgot your list of good children, she said.

"However mind, replied Santa. ,T dont need It. This year Im going to give a present to every little boy and girl, good or bad. The bad ones will feel sorry then, because they know they dont deserve a nice present. Itll make them try harder to ! be good next year.

I That isnt according to ' Hoyle, said Mrs. Claus, who likes to play bridge. But it does make sense, you old softie. Santa stood up to crack his whip in the airthe signal to be off. But then he heard a small voice crying:

Wait. Please wait.

It was Cluny, Santas favorite little elf. The other elves gossiped about Cluny and said she was clumsy at making toys. But Santa knew it was only because she was so young. He liked her because she had a good heart.

Here, said the tiny elf, holding up a small shiny figure. Whats this? Whats this?; grumbled Santa. Youre too late. My pack is already loaded.

It is only my present to the j w'orld, said Cluny. I made it' at night in my roomall by my-' self.

Santa took the little figure' from her hands. It was a beau-tiful angel with butterfly wings and a robe of purest white. In her hand the angel held a small magic wand.

It is the angel of peace. explained Cluny.

Why Cluny! said Santa, This is better than all the other gifts put together, Illl see that your angel waves her w^and for one day at least over every home in the land,

And he picked up Cluny and gave her a big whisker-tickly

kiss on her cteek. Then ht

picked up his long whU) siilh

In IE

and cracked it shar]^ frosty air. ^ ^

Ho, ho, ho! Here we^ he roared. Ho, ho, ho! Hom we go! TT

A New Experience For Ninth

Made Many Contributions

Christmas

BY HENRY HOWARD

From the sidewalk out frcmt, theres little or no difference. Even the oversized Christmas tree, clearly visible through the panel front door is not a a rarity.

But if you should be the ninth person around the familys Christmas Eve dinner table here, youd very likely be in for a new experience.

Dr. Leo W. Jenkins president of Greenville's bustling East Carolina College his wife, Lillian, and their half-dozen children gather this Christmas to add another year to a Christmas Eve dinner tradition that has been perpetua-ed fot 2Vs centuries by Mrs. Jenkins family.

The presidents wife, the former Lillian Jacobsen of Laval-lette, N. J., is grateful for her husbands accepting the annual ritual. I think its very nice of him to go along with it, she says.

But Dr. Jenkins isnt just going along; he likes it. You should watch it sometime, hell tell you. "Its a very fine thing for a family to have something like this to look forward to at Christmas.

What is it?

Its the feature attraction for many a Norwegian -familys Christmas. Though there are various Yuletide customs observed by the people of Norway, the Jenkins familys has caught hold with the Jacobsen and related families.

These are the ingredients:

Risgrot, a Norwegian-type rice porridge, is the starting point. Mm. Jenkins spends several hours in the kitchen each year preparing this basic brew for the annual Christmas Eve dinner.

After the risgrot has simmered over low heat for about an hour and a half, a single blanched almond is plunked Into the milky mixture.

When all is ready. Mrs. Jenkins serves the Christmas risgrot in bowls: It is the first and most important course In a full Christmas dinner. The entire potful is divided among the eight members of the family.

Then dinner begins. Each family member eagerly spoons Into the porridge. Each searches hopefully for the lone al-mcMid.

Because the almond Is the key to the custom. The family member who winds up with the blanched nut is singled out by the tradition for good fortune for the next 12 months.

Though the president is English, he has learned to enjoy the Christmas custom. Sure, Its a lot of fun, he agrees. "Theres always a good deal of txcltement over who has the

alm(xid in his bowl.

The Risgrot ritual is the center (rf the Jenkins Norwegian Christmas. But there are other features. Norwegian and American.

Mrs.. Jenkins follows another Norwegian Christmas tradition: We always try to have some kind of v^d bird, either a goose or a duck, for Christmas Eve dinner.

And there are other Norwegian trimmings around the Jenkins kitchen. Sandkaker (sand tarts), Mrs. Jenkins favorite Norwegian cookie, and Julekake (Christmas bread) afe ever present for the holidays.

The president's home is a regular stopping place for Greenville and East Carolina College Christmas caroler* j We always invite them in, says Mrs. Jenkins. We serve them hot chocolate and doughnuts.

Entertaining several hundred carolers during the holidays may appear to be an undesirable task, but the Jenkins home Is well-accustomed to guests. During the past 12 months, more than 3,500 visitors have attended various dinners, receptions and other social events at the Jenkins home.

Despite the frequent visitors and the Norwegian flavor that go along with Christmas at the Jenkins house, the president and his family spend the holidays in the average American family tradition.

With the entire family together for a couple of weeks, all eight Jenkinses look forward to a typical family night on Christmas Eve. Norwegian tradition then fades through the night and the family spends its (Jhristmas Day much the same as anybody else, Mrs. Jenkins says.

Five of the six children awaited Christmas vacation for their older brothers homecoming. Jimmy, 19, is a sophomore at Duke University.

StUl at home year-round are Jeff, 15; Suzanne. 13; Patty, 12; Sallie 9; and Jack, 6.

Hanukkah Is A Festive Season

By NED BORDEN Rock Hill Herald Writer

Written for Associated Press YORK, S. C. (APIChristmas for Christians or Hanukkah for Jews, its a festive season for aU Americans.

Schools In Ghana Teach Religion

WASHINGTON (AP) - The government-supported schools of Ghana, Africa, all teach religion as part of the curriculum, reports the Rev. J. Alfred Richard, a Roman Catholic missionary.

Although some critics have called Ghana a Soviet satellite, he .said, all students have a set period of religous instruction every day, by either Protestant or Roman Catholic teachers.

Holiday tables will groan under the weight of the traditirmal turkey dinners. And if those turkeys are kosher turkeys, the odds are they came from a parttime packing plant in this South Carolina county seat.

The Dixie Poultry Co., the only government inspected Jewish poultry processing plant in the Old South, has been operat- | ihg about three days a week turning out 20,000 kosher turkeys for shipment to the North and East. Leonard and Sam Wallace of Charlotte, N. C., operate the company.

The company, with help from a visiting rabbi, has been processing, packing and shipping kosher birds since 1950. The elder Wallace, a small mustachioed man who works in white apron and cap. Is a shocket or supervisor of Jewish ritutal for slaughter.

and shape. If they dont, we do not want them.

Leonard Wallace learned his trade as a ritual slaughterer in Lithuania. He came to this country In 1926 and settled In Syracuse, N. Y. A few years later he came to North Carolina.

In addition to being a shocket. Leonard Wallace is a cantor at a Jewish temple. He studied to be a rabbi and lacked less than a year to complete his training But then I got married, and that put an end to my ambiti(ms along that lipe, he said with a laugh.

Sam Wallace said the turkey processing began with a shed in Blacksburg in the early part of 1950. Then we bought a farm below York. We chose York County because it was the leading turkey producing county in the two states at that time. We originally raised our own birds, but we ceased that operation in 1954. It was too much for one family to do by itself.

Cz vie Organiza tions,

Clubs Active In Yuletide

By'G. C. CHAPMAN Reflector Staff Writer

Much of the spirit of Christmas lies in the giving of gifts. Not only those from our family and friends on Christmas; not the beribboned, birght-colored packages surrounding the tree (Ml Christmas morning; but the gift of happiness, the gift of love.

Amid the rush and hurry of Christmas fervor with all its commercialism, and mateilal-ism, such a spirit is often hard to find.

But that this small part of the true spirit of Christmas does still exist is evidenced in plenty by the work being done by the civic and social organizations of Green. vilJe.

The people who are members of these groups give of themselves each year, in time, trouble, and money, to help the needy, the underprivileged, the sick, and the orphaned children of Pitt County.

'^Friend of 'the boy Is t h e motto of the Optimist Qub. This is a group which takes the time to work with boys of all ages. Its members sponsor little league baseball teams, rifle teams, contests, and many other p r 0-jects to encourage young ctizens to grow into fine adults.

One annual project of the club is the Christmas Tree sale. Each

December the club organizes the

sale, the results of which arc the primary source of revenue for the coming year.

This year, the club has sold approximately 1,500 trees to Pitt Countians. Those trees uns 01 d at the end of the drive are given to the Salvation Army which in turn distributes them to needy families throughout the county.

The clubs motto gave rise to the idea of the Boy Tree which was used extensively in promoting the project.

Other# organizations are also active during the season.

Light Bulbs Sold

The Junior Chamber of Commerce conducted a light bulb sale in order to raise money for needy families at Christmas. The sale is an annual project conducted on the first Thursday in December. Members sell the bulbs from door to door on that night.

After expenses, the JCs netted about $350.00 which will be used to help people who might otherwise have not had much of a Christmas.

will be distributed to Th,r children.

Member* of the Klwanl voted many nights to sorting aad bagging the nuts in two-poux^ sacks.

Co-chairman of the proj e Ct W. C. Taylor and W. M, Scales, say that the attractively packaged nuts bearing the Klwimia seal have been distributed wittily. and have even reached-a* far away as India.

Each year, the Rotary Club-5 lects six boys and six girls ffticP throughout the county and treats them to a seasons blessing they might not have had.

Each member takes one child and gives him gifts of clothing, and food, and a bag of candy, fruit, and nuts, and toys pf some kind.

A lone peanut may be an Insignificant thing, but 7,(KX) pounds of choice Pitt County peanuts add up to a merry Christmas for many underprivileged children.

The Rotary annually does a big job by helping these unfortunate children.

The Greenville Kiwanis sponsored a peanut sale which profited by about $1,5(X), all of which

The Civitans fruit cake ale raised $1,600.00 In funds to be distributed primarily to the Rose High School Band, the school for the mentall retarded in Greenville, and the Lake Wac-camaw Boys H(xne.

Members sold the cakes in one to five pound sizes in booths set up around town.

This year the' sale extended from October to the middle of December. Members sold idMut 5,000 of the cakes.

Wallace begins the days work by clasping the neck of a turkey and intoning a brief Hebrew prayer.

Then with a quick stroke slitting the turkeys throat, the kosher packing process is underway. The bird is drained of blood, plucked dry, soaked and salted. Packed under a kosher label, it is shipped via refrigerated truck to a distributor in New York (Jity.

"Most Jews will not scrimp on the table. Sam Wallace said. This is the time of year for parties, and the woman of the household would not think of putting anything but the very best before her guests. If she can afford chicken, why not spend a few cents more and put turkey on the table?

Kosher-prepared turkeys cost more than those prepared by commercial houses, Wallace said. But the difference Is worth it. We buy only the very best broad-breasted turkey. We wont process anything but the best here. The turkeys have to conform to a certain size, weight

14*Tht Daily Rfflfictor, Greenvi!la* K C.Tuesday, December 24, 1263Adventure OfABoy Who Didnt Believe In Santa

By JOE WING

For being Just avenute. John* By Olrlnsky was an amazing boy.

In height, he stood an average lour feet we inch. His hair was average brown and his eyes average blue. His .teacher had noted before the holidays that he was doing gverage work. On the playground, he piayed ao average game of touch ball, and at home his mother regarded him as well behaved, on the average.

The amazing thing about Johnny was that, unlike other average boys, he wanted to be-lievt in Santa Clausand could not. Even his mother and father weren't able to help him.

Some of his friends believed In Santa. Others laughed when--ever anyone mentioned him. But no one he knew or ever heard of wanted to beUeve, but could not manage to do sono matter how hard he tried.

Now, since you know all about Santa Claus, that may strike you as funny. But it was no laughing matter to Johnny. On the cwitrary, it made him extremely unhappy.

Fortunately, Johnny wasnt the kind of an average boy who Just starts crying when be has a problem. He took direct ac

tion. He got tm hla bicycle and rode down the street to tee for himself if a real Santa Oaua existed. He figured that if he could find Santa once, there I would be no trouble atxwt be-; lievlng in him . . .

, For the first half mile, he saw no one at all. That was Just as well because H was 6 oclock, right before dinner, and any 1 friend of the family who might ' have met him would have told him to go right back home.

He soon reached Main Sti'eet. Even that early in the season. Main Street was decorated with Christmas trees, stars and bells. Imitation iolclei streamed down store window's. There were pictures of Santa Claus, statues of Santa Claus, and Santa Claua toys, but no real Santa. Well, he hadnt expected to find a i-eal Santa in a department atore.

Then, <rf a audden, Johnny saw him.

Santa was standing on a street comer, ringing a bell, and looking a little forlornly at an empty Iron pot suspended from--a tripod.

Hey, said Johnny, braking to a stop, how did you get here?"

Why. I walked, said Santa. I dont have a bicycle.

But where are the deer and

aleigh?

Thati a good question. I havent aeen em for nearly 12 months, and if somebody doesnt get a hameaa on them loon, we are going to luive a terrible situation.

Now Santa seemed to look more worried than sad. Also, he looked oonaldorably thinner and a UtUe dirtier than Johnny had imagined him. But tl%re he really was. Johnny thought that after this he surely would be a believer.

When are you going to start bringing the preaenta down frwn the North Pole, he inquired politely. It must be more than Just one nights work.*

Well, IU tell you. said Santa. Like I said, nobodys caught the reindeer yet, and the workshop was in an awful mess when I left. Mrs. Claus is visiting her folks and hasnt cooked me a dinner in a month. Thats why I'm skinny. The way things are going, young fellow, maybe youd better depend on your mother and dad for presents this year. Old Santa^ Just may not make it.

Johnny wasnt worried about the presents. Hed been depending on mother and dad for them now for a year or two. But ho began to worry about Santa.

If nobody la going to get your meals. he said, youre going to starve. Everybody has to have a mother to get their meals.

Oh. I guess Ill get along somehow. This job here aint as had SOS some.

But the thought of Santa standing out there in the cold without anything warm to eat was more than Johnny could stand.

Santa, you must have a good

dinner before you do any more work, be said. Ycm come right home with me.

I dont think your parents would like It.

Of course theyll like it. They believe In you.

Santa ahook his head dubiously but said, Well. Ill take a chance. You lead the way.

Johnny pedalled (rff gtopping now and then so Santa could catch up. In no time at all they had reached Johnny's house the one with green shutters at the comer of Tenth and Lang.

Mwn, Dad, yelled Johnny, bunting open the door. Ive found SanU and brought him home. Hei right here, and hes hungry.

Mrs. Olrlnsky had Juat started to worry about Johnny, It was unlike him to be late for supper. Now she poked her head out the door, stopping to think a moment before greeting the visitor. Then she said;

Santa, you come In and have aomething to eat with us. Well be happy to have you.

Thats how Santa Claus came to preside over the most exclt-Ing dinner that Johnny could remember. After a wash and a have, he locked like a different person, even though his hair was still white and his costume red trimmed with fur.

I never wear my beard after business hours, he explained to Johnny, Thats part of the uniform, just like policemen wear policemens hats. Most boys do not realize this, but I dont mind telling you.

You know, there Is more than one Santa Uaus, but none of us really exists unless somebody believes in us. Its getting tougher and tougher every year

because fewer boys and girls believe. But we have to carry on, since theres always at least one boy and girl in every town. And grownups too. said Mr. Girinsky. You must find there are grownups too.

Yes, said Santa, If It were not for the grownups who believe we would all have a very tough time indeed.

Santa then told about some of the adventures he had had in hia .youth, and the freight trains he nad ridden and the ships he had saed. When at last he left there was a $5 bill tucked In his side pocket.

Good night to all, he said, and started back towards Main Street.

For an average boy, he did quite well .

Going to bed a short time later, Johnny said to- his mother. It must be grownups like you and Dad who keep Santa going. He said he couldn't exist unless somebody believed. And I think maybe Im going to be a believer too, though its pretty hard to do sometimes.

His mother smiled and said. I think you did exceptionally well, Johnny, and better even than some boys in the top average group could do. Im sure that <Mie of these, days, when youre all grown up, you will be one of those on whom Santa depends.

Orders Are Best From The Father

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) The Rev. P. M. Casady, in discussing the problems of raising youngsters told his parishioners that boys usually should get orders from their fathers.

It is natural, he said, for males of all ages to rebel against orders from women, and he sug-ge.sted that boys are less embarrassed when they tell their chums, The old man says I cant.

CHAPEL HILL. N. C. (AP)-Does Santa Claus have a weight problem?

Middle age can be a hazardous Ume for tubby people. And Santa, you know, is at that age. He Is near his late 30s (generations, not years).

The American Heart Association has never said in so many woitis that Santa is too fat, but there is some unofficial sentiment that be is a Uttle on the hefty side. 'Theres also some sentiment that he Is a little on the hefty side. Theres also some sentiment that Santas heftiness isnt setting a good example for the kids and. for that matter, the parents.

Some heart specialists, relying heavily on mortality tables put out by insurance cwnpanies, feel Santa should get off his obesity kick. Although there is no guarantee that normal weight will prevent heart trouble, they feel overweight is certainly a heart hazard.

Faculty members at the University of North Carolina said a slim Santa Daus isnt anything radical. For hundreds of years, they pointed out, Europeans imagined St. Nick as a tall, thin, stately person.

Washington Irving created a picture of him using an early

Washington Irving created a picture of him using an early American Dutch settler as his model. Irving made the CHirist-mas season symbol as a jolly fellow in big breeches and smoking a pipe.

Phsrsiologists at the university suggested that Santas size is not functionally sound and neither is it attractive from a health standpoint.

The physical education people say Santa not only is overweight, but he is contributing to the (3iristmas-time emphasis of too much eating and drinking. They said Santa isnt getting enough exerciseHes watching tetevisi(xi while the elves and Mrs. Claus make all the toys uid thi on CThrlstmas night he rides in the sleigh while the reindeer do the work.

A psychiatrist said Santas night-long work schedule Isnt contributing to his good health. A person shouldnt set excessive work goals under unfavorable climatic conditions, the psychiatrist said.

And what does Santa himself feel ab<xit his weight problem?

He might comment this way;

Ho. ho, ho ... and to aU a Merry Christmas.

Swedish Salute To Saint Lucia

A blonde, blue-eyed Swedlsh-American girl, wearing a long white dress and red sash, slowly walks down an aisle, carrying a tray of coffee and cakes and balancing on her head a crown of lighted candles.

'That same morning, the oldest daughter in each family had awakened the family before dawn, to serve coffee.

It is Dec. 13 and Swedish Americans aU over the country are beginning their celebration of Christmas with observances remembering the generosity and courage of St. Lucia.

Various stories are told about Lucia and bow she became a saint.

In (e, she lived. In Syracuse, Sicily, during toe Roman Empire. She gave her dowry to some Christians who had bei persecuted for their faith, after which her angry fiance told authorities that Lucia was a Christian. She was condemned to be burned but the fire did not burn her. She died when thrust through by a sword.

In another version, Lucia refused to give up her Christian faith to marry a pagan soldier. Blinded by Roman authorities, Lucia became a symbol of light to early Christians.

If Youre Tired Of Christmas Red

And GreenTry Blue And Gold

Need No Elves In Toy-Making

HAWTHORNE, Calif. AP) -Now theyre putting out a toy that makes toys.

A manufacturer here is introducing a miniature plastic-prod-ucts factory. Sheets of plastic furnished with the kit are softened and then mdded into airplanes, boats, cars, jewelry and other playthings. Various m(rtds are Included, as well as clay for creating original molds.

If youre tired of trimming your home in the traditional Christmas red and green, try gold and blue.

One interior decorator suggests that if your home is decorated mainly in cool colors (blues, greens, mauvesV, gold will add a sparkle of sophistication.

And for a warm room (done In reds, yellows, oranges, browns) decorations in a vibrant, clear blue will enhance it.

For either the tiny apartment, or the home with large, ri>uclous rooms, use decorations On the bdd side. But not too many.

And youll draw the most at-tenti(xi if you save the focal point of the nxn, like a fireplace mantel or wall behind a sofa, for your most dramatic efforts. Put onaller bits of tinsel and greenery In less important spots.

D(xit forget that no matter how small your entry hall or foyer, this area is the first to greet the guests eye. If space Is Ihnitcd, hang your ilecwations f^om the ceiimg.

Ordinary houseplants will add a festive touch, if you drape tinsel or icicles from the stems of larger varieties or wrap foil around the pots of smaller plants.

But if youre tradition bound, youll probably incorporate a poinsetUa plant somewhere in your trimming.

Todays poinsettia is far different fnxn the plant which Dr. Joel R. Poinsett brought back to

his home in South Carolina In 1834 from Mexico where he was serving as U.S. Ambassador.

Natural varieties were then small, with dumpy blossoms and ragged stalks. The plants present velvet-like beauty has been brought about by breeding the best hybrids,

Poinsettias didnt begin to gain acceptance here as a holiday plant until the early 1900s. But by the 1930s, demand had grown so much that leftover plants were hoarded because stock plants werent obtainable.

To care for your poinsettia so it will last the longest (three to four weeks In the average home), keep it away from tem

perature extremes, like cold window panes and hot radiat(M^. The plants do best with warmUi and humidity. Use warm water when watering it from the surface.

Ever wonder how the poinsettia became identified with Christmas?

mas Eve feeling sad because he could not afford a gift for the Holy CMld.

There Is an old Mexican legend which teUs of a poor child who went to church on Christ-

Lost Their Sons, So Help Others

The tale goes that he knelt outside the church and assured God of his great desire to offer the Child a gift. When he arose he saw at his feet a green plant with blinding red blcxAns, and he joyfully brirfte of some of tte branches ot this poinsettia, entered the church and placed his offering at the feet o the Christ Child.

Silly gestin; A Fair Answer

TULSA, Okla. (AP)A Tulsa ; couple whose sons drowned six I years ago will provide a Merry Christmas for 300 children.

LOUISVILLE (AP)A youngster picked out a $1 set of earrings for her mothers Christmas gift and handed the clerk two 50 cent pieces.

What about the tax? he inquired.

My mother doesnt use tacks, the girl replied. She screws them in her ears.

Mr. and Mrs. Clyde T. Davis repair and restore broken toys salvagpd from junkyards and ; other ^ources to make gifts for underprivileged children. Davis, I a cai^nter, and his wife both ; have l^gular jobs and do their j toy repairing at nightoften un-I til 2 or 3 a.m.

Toy* Taken Over By Grown-Ups

A British toy manufacturer began offering to children a series of scale-model antique cars a few yeara ago. But sales to adults became so numerous that the company now Is marketing a line (rf ashtrays on which the cam have been mounted.

I want children to be happy at Christmas. says Mrs. Davis. Their two teen - aged sons drowned In a lake near here.

These models of bygone days include old loctmiotives, buses and trolley cars, fire engines and motorcycles, as well as automobiles. The company has another line erf miniatures for children.

By BLANCHK HARRIS Reflector Staff Writer

Almost tU of tbe OreenvlUe churches have bad special Christonas programs for the public, groups caroUng and Christmas servicea for^thelr own members during this Christmas sea-8<m.

Many needy families have been made happier through efforts of various church organtea-tlons in Greenville and these or-ganlzatkms have been carrying a true spirit" of Christmas.

Here are some of the activities carried on by tho various Greenville churches:

FIRST PENTECOSTAL HOLINESS

The young people of the First Fentecctal Holiness Church went on a hay ride and caroling Thursday night. A party f(H-lowed the hay ride.

Itohop Fred Pierce Corson

told in two books of the BiWe: the Gospel (rf St. Matthew and (rf St. Luke. The writers <rf these two books knew Jesus perswial-ly. Both were His followers and Luke was His physician. Two other books in the Bible especially tell us about the life (rf Jesus. They are the Gospel of St. Mark and (rf St. John. They were called disciples of Jesus because they belteved In Him and tried to help him make the world and pe<H>le in It more like God whom Jesus called Our Heavenly Father.

The great lesson Jesus taught nil mankind is that there is a spiritual Kingdom, which He called the Kingdom of God, which can come inside each one of us. It is a blessed Kingdom and mans only hope lor peace

and a better world. It gives all who possess It everything that is good. It puts God's own spirit into our hearts and It makes possible for each of us to be-(MMTie more like Jesus.

Jesus said If we wanted to have that spirit, we must .become uke little children. To

teach us what God meant by keeping always the childlike spirit, God sent His very own

Son, who Uved the perfect life, as a baby boy to Hto mother, Mary, and her husband, Joseph, a carpente. They were very poor. They did not have much to give to the baby except their love, but that WM why God sent His S<m to them to teach all parents and children that the greatest gift In the world Is love, not the eclflsh love of

things and their possession, but

the pure love <rf God which finds Its Joy and reward in always doing good And in living up to the best they know.

The people expected God to make Hlrnself known In the world as a mighty warrior, a great strong man. A poet described their surprise and the disappointment of many when Jesus, a baby boy described as very God of very God, came to fulfill Gods promise that He would send a deliverer to free His people from their sins and from the evil which sin in the human heart creates in the world. The poet said:

They all were locking for a

King

To slay their foes and lift them

high:

Thou camst, a little baby thing that made a woman cry.

The joy, the purity, the openness, the love suid the faith (tf a little child are the most refd and clearest glimpses we have of God. That is why Jesus was attracted to little children and little children came naturally to Him. That Is why He wanted them always near Him.

And that is the reason a child is the symbol of Christmas and Christmas is, for all the children of the world. That too, is why Christmas should be such a happy time of good feeling and kindness to each other and of gratitude to God for His gift oi Jesus to us.

A musical program was presented under the direction of George Crippa.

New Clothes Worn By Filipino Children

MANILA AP) Christmas Eve, for chUdren here, is a time for midnight Mass rather than for Santa Claus and Ghriatmas stockings.

The custom Is for the chUdren to wear traly brand new clothes to ttiis Mass.

Nine days before Christmas, chdren are aroused in early morning darkness to attend the Misa de Gallo, mass of the cock's crow. Emerging from church, they find vendors waiting wiUi sUll warm cakes to eat on the way home.

Comhig home from Christmas Eve Mass is again an occasion for eatingusually pastries, delicacies made of rice, and hot chocolate.

But although Santa Gaus is generally not known, It doesnt mean chdren go without gifts. AU through the Christmas seasonwhich extends to Jan, 8-chdren visit relatives and godparents to coUect presents. This

is particularly true wi Christmas Day, when everyone is either at home receiving guests or out visiting themselves. Each household prepares plenty of food to provide for neighbors and relatives dropping in.

In many towns a program of entertainment is held in the plaza. In some areas pageants are held Christmas Eve, with a woman representing the Virgin Mary going from house to house in search of a place to stay.

Christmas decorations are concentrated in the churches and the homes. The favorite home decoration is a star-shaped lantern made of paper and Ughted from within with bulbs.

Some towns make huge, elaborate lanterns each year which are carried through the streets in colorful processions.

Christmas is also a time to go home. It is a time for famy reunions, a time when all relatives, rich or poor, gather together under one roof.

SYDNEY (AP) Years ago. when we were young, our parents would take us to spend the six weeks Christmas school vacation at a cottage near the cool Pacific Ocean, lapping the shores of eastern Au^ralia.

Christmas time is mid-summer in Australia. We would spend the; days on the beach, nimng ini and out of the water.

Then would come Christmas Eve and we w(Hild hang our stockings neajr the bedSanta Claus had to come through the window because there were NOi chimneys. i

Christmas Dayone of the; longest days in the year in Australiawe would dive into the stockings around 6:00 a.m.. and play wim the toys until breakfast. Then we tlrould head for tl^ ocean beach, have a couple of hours sunning and surfing, and return home in time to dress for church at 11:00 a.m.

After church we would swim In the river, then sit down for the big Christmas Day midday dinner. There wmild be hot chicken (some years turkey) and cold ham, hot plum pudding and cold ice cream, and plenty of iced drinks.

In the afternoon we would sleep for an hour or two, then once more walk out to the

beach.

We would be h(une in time for a light evening meal and the Christmas cake. And In the evening, perhaps, we would lo<dt again through the Christmas cards, and n(^ that most (rf themespecially those sent from within Australiashowed snow scenes in England.

And wc. woi^ tliink bow odd it was to have snow at Christmas. *

That was how we knew Christmas as children, uid that is about how R is today for many people here.

. The majority of Australians cling to tradition and have a big hot Christmas Day dinner at midday, as they or their forefathers did in Britain and Europe.

But as Christmas is also the big summer vacation time down here in Australia, many pe<)le are away from home. They have their Christmas day dinners in cottages at the seaside and in the mountains, In caravans or canvas tents, in boarding bouses or hotels.

Then there are thoseand they run into hundreds of thousands who break with tradition and have their Christmas midday meal out in the open. You see them eating cold chicken and ' tomatoes on the beach, in the

shade of a gum tree In the country, or beside a stream in the mountains.

If you're Intcre^d in Christmas Day weather statistics in

Sydney: ths sun rises at 4:41 a.m. and sets at 7:07 p.m.: the temperature range is likely to be 64-77 degrees P.; chances are there wUl be NO rain.

Fading In France

By CLAUDE CAPAR-JORDAN

PARISAP)Two World Wars, the meandering of tourists and sharpened advertising techniques have remodelled the face of Christmas In Prance.

Time was when the holiday season meant an elaborate dinner on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, midnight Mass on Christmas Eve, formal greeting calls on New Years Day, and presents for children on'8^.

CHRISTMAS FUN comet from doing! This little girl Is creating her own holiday greetings, using a felt nib pen to draw designs on outlines she cut from foam rubber sheeting, y

Christmas Is the time when we knock ourselves out trying to make the holiday pleasant for children.

And we find aU these activities are fun. So why not let the children in on the joys of the season by letting them take part? |

For instance, children love to help ice Christmas cookies. Even if their designs are messier than; yours, theyll have fun and getj the experience to do better next year.

Or, let them create their own Christmas cards. You can put: them to work cutting out designs i from colored paper or clipping j pictures from magazines to paste onto their cards.

If they arent old enough to do' anything else, very little chil-1 dren get a kick out of just printing their names on cards.

Glistening greetings can be made by turning the children loose with glue bottles and glitter paint, and colored paper.

Another idea is to trace patterns of snowmen or Santas on brown paper and let the kids use them -as outlhies for cutting (Wt colcg'ed paper or foam rubber sheeting.

Then the children can add finishing touches to their decorations, such as coloring the snowmans hat, and filling in his eyes, nose, mwith and the buttons down his front. They can add a bit of bright ribbon and

perhaps a printed greeting cut from an old Christmas card.

On the rubber sheeting, felt nib pens can be purchased with red or green ink to add the finishing touches.

Make a giant Santa to hang on your front door from the rubber sheeting. Then let the children glue on pieces nf felt or plastic for facial features. Mter Christmas tliis Santa can be rolled up and stored in the attic for next year.

The children will also enjoy being allowed to help wrap presents for Grandma or Grandpa or other relatives.

And you can provide them with leftover greens, sprigs of holly and ribbw so they can create holiday decorations for their own rooms of a family

But no more. The present* are trundled out for Christmas. Gaily decorated department stores remind prente (rf their duty weeks in advance. Postal clerks are almost drowned by the Ude^ of greeting cards. And a week's stay in a mountain ski resort ti becomhig routine for tens of thousands of children.

The transformation has not cwne quickly or without pain. British and American soldicri brought al(mr their customs In World War I, and from that thus on the Christnms tree started making inroads in France, Foreign visitors who struck up friendships launched the Chriat-mas card vogue. The quickened tempo of communici^ioiui and transportation helped it to spread.

German occupation in World War n and the invasion of British and American troops gave a new Impulse to the p^ularity of Christmas trees.

At one time, Roman Catholic priests frowned on the Christmas tree as a pagwi symbol that was detracting from ths religious spirit of Christmas.

Even after World War n some priests were ralUng against Pere Nocl-^Pathcr Christmas, as Santa Claus is known here. But Uie criticism has almost died away in the face of Pere Noels popularity with children.

The traditional Roman Catholic symbol of Christmas is the model manger with Christ child and others of the Biblical tale set up In most churches for Uie Christmas season. In southern Prance, these creches" also, were often set up to village

squares, or In homes.

There are a number of essentials for a typical French Christmas feast-oysters, turkey or

goose, lobi^r, foie gras, the rich and creamy buche de

Noel" cake made in the form of

a tree trunk, and champagne.

Outdoor home decorations are almost unknown in Prance, except in Alsace, where the German Influence Is heavy. In Paris, most families live In apartments. A holly wreath on the door, or special lights in an apartment window usually means that an American family is living there.

Innsbruck is a city of about 100.000 located m central Europe, in the western part of Austria, surrounded by the Tyrolean Alps. In summer when the tourists from the adjacent industrial areas/of Europe stream into tmm. the poiaila-tion usually doubles. But Innsbruck is also a noted winter resort and well known to most Europeans as well as to many Amencans.

Mussolini. The Brenner Pass which is only 137.5 meters high (4530ft > is the lowest pass in the area which is important in a region where snow and ice provide major problems to transportation. Innsbruck, in other words, is located on this important intersection of the east-west and north-south routes. This location explains also why many bombmg missions were flown into Innsbruck during WW n.

Tourism is the big business of that town located in the heart of the Austrian Alps at the confluence of the Inn and Sill rivers. Besides tourism, Linsbruck is also important as a transportation center, a manufacturing center and a trade and distribution center. Roads and rails follow the Inn River along the Inn Valley and thus provide an ideal east-west route, linking together Prance, Switzerland, Aust r i a, Hungary and the other southeastern Balkan states. The Inn , originates in Switzerland and Is a tributary of the Danube. The Sill River can be foUowedf south upstream to the Brenner Pass, and the divld between Austria and Italy. This Pa's. Incidentially, was the sight of a meeting between Hitler and

The major manufacturi n g plants in Innsbruck produce textiles and agricultural machinery. Four milling is also carried on. Some industries have moved into Innsbruck during the period of military occupation of Austria after the last World War. During thLs period Tyrol and Innsbruck were under w'estem allied cont r o 1 while the eastern part of Austria, which contains the major industrial areas, were under Russian control. This situation was similar *to that which still exists in Germany, only on a smaller scale. The insecurity about the future led to this partial relocation and industrl-lization of the western parts of Austria and Innsbruck, which did not come to a standstill after unification and independ-

Innsbruck and Tyrol, the pro-

I location on this north-s o u t h,

I east-west route. German emper-! ors were willing to make extensive concessions to guaian-tee safety for themselves and their convoys through the moun-tams on the way to Italy. These rights Included mint-rights, domestic citrrency, local jurisdiction and market priviledges just to mention a few. Even the Romans recognized the strategic importance of this area and built the fortress Veldidena which formed the nucleus for the development of the city of Innsbruck. In 1234 Innsbruck was granted city status and received all associated priviledges. Innsbnick actually means the bridge across the Inn River. The fortified city grew through the Middle Ages, but the fortlfica-ti(His were for the most part tom down as the city expanded In 1809 Napoleon Bonapartes armies overran most of Europe and defeated enemy after enemy. However, he had

to absorb four defeats at the hands erf the fanners of Tyrol and the citizens of Innsbnick. Andreas Hofer. the leader of this stubborn and loyal people, has definitely secured for himself and Innsbruck a place in European history. Later emperor Maximilian and Franz Joseph from the House of Haps-burg spent much of their free time vacationing in Innsbruck. The destruction of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy following World War I and the great depression naturally cast their shadows 6n Tyrol and Innsbruck. World War II and the Hitler era brought destruction to the lovely city and death to many of its people. But history healed the wounds and has returned to us a lovely, prosperous, and thriving city

He holds the masters degree in economies from the University of Florida. He oined the ECC stafi' this fall. Here Dr. Nowotny writes about Innsbruck and the winter Olympics).

The climate of Innsbruck is in every respect more favorable than might be expected from its elevation above sea-level (1500ft) and from its position in the midst of high mountains. This is accounted for by the fact that the Inn Valley is protected toward the north by the North Range rising to an elevatiwi of 4,W)0ft above the city. At the same time the

valley is kept wide and open toward the south by the Sill VaUey and the Brenner Pass. In all seasons Innsbruck is warmer than other places in the valley. The yearly average temperature is 47 degrees F, which corresponds to a temperature usually associated with places about 100 miles farther to the South. This favorable position Is largely produced by the Foehn, a warm wind. This wind can turn snow into rain and slush over night and this is one reason why many of the skiing competitions for the coming Olympic Games will be carried out in the Axam Lizum where it is much colder and better sheltered from tills warm wind.

Games will be held in Inn. bruck from January 29 to Pcb-ruary 9, 1964. The city, t h province of Tyrol, and Austria have made enormous efforts to guarantee the success of the games. An Olympic ice arena that accomodates 10.000 people ^ has been ccmstructed. In froni of the structure is the spw* ! skating oval where events like free figure sksrfing, compulsory figure skating and speed skating will take place. The Ice hockey events will be held in the new Ice arena and the Mr<?-sepalast which is the old i<io stadium.

Eggs are usually thought of as an Easter tradition.

But about 200 dozen eggs have been turned into glittering Christmas tree decorations by Mrs. Isabel Baynes of Bowleys Quarters, Md.

Tools for her hobby, besides the emptied eggshells, are seml-clear glue, multicolored glitter, sequins and ribbon. Mrs. Baynes first saw Christmas eggs which had been imported from Germany and were selling at $4 a dozen.

"I decided I could make my own, she says. Its a simple process.

Mrs. Baynes cracks the top of an egg, emptying it into a saucer. Then she breaks down the eggshell to fit the design she wants. Some eggs have only the top segment removed, but others are reduced to a half-shell.

Her method of adding glitter to the shells is to draw lines and circles with the tip of a glue container. Then she sprinkles a spoonful of glitter over the entire shell. When surplus glitter Is shaken off, the pattern appears.

She completes some designs with figures of clowns, angeis, snowmen and Santa Clauses which peep over the shells edge.

When Mrs. Baynes began decorating eggs, she says each egg took about half an hour to complete. But now she can decorate one shell in 10 minutes.

Mrs. Baynes even made the star for the top of the family tree from six eggs glued together and decorated in red and gold. This, she says, was her most difficult project.

Christina, Mrs. Baynes 10 -year - old daughter, also has learned to decorate eggs, as have many pupils in the six area schools where Mrs, Baynes serves as a substitute teachei

By JOHN G. DUNCAN

The story of ChiMmases past In old Pactolus may be pictures of how that day was celebrated throughout Pitt County.

To find out how that day was observed over fifty years ago. you go to the crossroads store of Cecil Satterth-waite. Sitting around the big store you listen to the flow of talk.^ It is mostly about crops, sick neighbors, hunting and af-faii-s of the countryside and how cold it is outdoors.

Here among these middle-tgr'^ men you know that there is -^11 hopes of getting a st about Christmas of long

Then you go out Into the

cold December day with its cold wind, ice covered iHiddles and sunshine spilling down through leWless trees and cross the yard to the door of Mr. J. J. Satterthwaites house.

It is from him you know there will come words )to build a day and year of a Christmas gone.

Here in the comfortable den of the big house that speaks so softly of the South of the past you sit, talk and listen. Talk and listen with a man who has known more Christmases than anyone else living in Pitt County today.

Bom on April 11, 1867. the old gentleman sitting across from you has lived through 96 Christmas times. v

In those days, Christmas in Pactolus was celebrated by gatherings at neighborhood houses. Early Christmas morning it began, with the blowing (rf horns and shooting of guns.

It was a day of happiness | and gaiety. Not many presents ' were exchanged and there were | no brightly decked trees. But j Inside the houses were sprigs of holly and that kissing cue mistletoe. And to the music (rf a violin, or banjo songs were sung. And your host offered you a piece of home - made pound cake and a glass of cider.

And then it was out into the crisp air again to go to another house. You walked, rode ! horseback or rode in one of the high buggies to your destination.

Here the scene was repeat

ed again, the exchanged of greeting, the taste of good food and a drink of cider.

And there was always that hoped for moment to catch the right girl under the mistletoe.

And so the day wore on to it closed the sun going down on a world of white or a world of brown and gray.

It seems that during these years of recall that there were more white Christmases than today.

And sometimes there lyas a silver Christmas sleet covered trees their trunks sparkling in the sun and branches weeping under the weight of ice deles.

And broom grass covered with icy prisms that caught the sun and showered little rainbows. And dancing under the Christmas 1880

Christmas Glows Under Florida Sun; Lights Adorn Palm Fronds

By JOE McGOWAN JR.

MIAMI (AP) Shoppers in shorts making the rounds of air-conditioned stores, displaced northerners dressing their lawns in white sand to remind them of snow, and palm trees which produce red berries only tell the tale of Christmas in Miami.

The holiday season is the time when the long-time "native and the recent "native go to war over merits of a semi-tropi

cal Christmas.

"How can you get into the Christmas spirit when there's no snow on the ground, when stores feature swimming suits and sun tan lotions, and when iced tea sounds better than hot choco-I late? complains the more re-i cent native.

i "This is the true Christmas. replies the native whose blood : has thinned through the years.

I "There was no snow in Bethle

hem or icicles hanging from the manger. And think of the money youre saving in heating bills and anti-freeze.

Nonetheless, many who long lor a northern "white Christmas find some consolation in making "frost patterns on their windows with spray can decorating material.

Others smile smugly as the; remember long - gone ' days i snow shovels, tire chains, dea., batteries, galoshes, gloves air.i frost - bitten toes. They find Christmas in the many huge poinsettla bushes, the graceful Adonidia palm which produces a crop of acom-slzed, bright red berries just in time for Christmas, and the Florida holly tree, which is covered with thousands of small red berries each December.

Opening of the Christmas season signals a re-birth of commerce along southeast Floridas Gold Coast. The winter racing season opens with the horses at Tropical Park, and there is also pari-mutuel betting at the dog tracks and jai-alai frontons.

Sumptuous mansions scattered i along Miami Beach and on is-! lands in Key Biscayne are given | a little extra shine by maintenance staffs in preparation for the annuiil winter visits by their owners. High society springs to life, with black tie banquets, charity balls, country club golf tournaments and ocean yacht racing.

The Florida sun also' attracts Hollywood and New York enter-

tainers and soon the list of names featured by Miami Beach hotels compares with the line of billboards idong the Las Vegas strip cm a summer night.

Sidewalks fill with shoppers the couple who arrived on one of todays jet flights, uncomfortable ^heir heavy wool suits, and casual Miamian in capri . or bermuda shorts, thcmg ills and bright - colored -...ts.

Mothers deposit their children at one of the many carnivals which take up winter residence in suburban showing center parking lots. One carnival lights up the downtown sky with its sparkling ferris wheel and other rides are set up on the roof of a large department store.

Gift counters feature outdoor barbecue sets, golf clubs, swimming pool accessories, skin-diving equipment: and for the children. bicycles with trainer wheels, roller skates, swimsuits, croquet sets and tennis racquets. The Miami youngster doesnt seem to notice the absence of skils. sleds, toboggans and ice skates.

Little rainfall occurs during the Christmas season, so homeowners decorate their yards with papier-mache Christmas figures with little fear of having them ruined. Some residents paint Christmas scenes on one side of their patios, w^here colored lights reflect in swimming pools.

One Miamian erects a Christmas tree on a raft floating in the lake bordering his home. He strings underwater power and sound cables for lights on the tree and speakers on the raft, then fills the area with recorded Christmas music.

Northern youngsters hold their Christmas caroling forays in horse-drawn sleighs, but what does the Miami youngster do? One group of Girl Scouts wddles through canals in the Coral Gables area in a flotilla of seven canoes, singing Yule songs.

winds touch tinkled out across the land natures own carols.

A time when you looked forward to Christmas. A time when it was as simple as a ' long stocking hang on a mantle over a cheerful fire. A time j when it was as simple as a ! gift of oranges, apples, raisins and stick candy. And perhaps a mouth harp or shiny pocket ; knife or a small doll fulfilled j the regulremehts of the visit | of Santa Claus. And a day and time when proof of his visit lay not alone in the filled stockings but in tell-tale marics scrapped in soot filled chimneys by the toes of the gift bringers' boots.

A time of candle lights, and roaring fires in big fire places. !

A time when a boy of thirteen feasted well on a Christmas dinner of: pork, coll a r d green with dumplings, pwnd cake, com brjad, a hbliday biscuit and piping hot coffee.

A Christmas past; some eighty-three years ago in old Pactolus, when Christmas w^as looked forward to, and life w'as simple.

Christmas Eve 1900

No visit to Pactolus is complete without a visit to the big Davenport store, and a hope that you can find Mr. J.

P. Davenport there.

Sitting there in his office, talking to him you find yourself going back to a Christmas Eve the eve of Christmas 1900.

Home from Campbell College for the holidays the young man was helping out in his fathers store.

It was busy in the store, late shoppers came in for last minute things for the day to follow.

There were oranges, apples, coconuts, cheese and sixty pounds tubs of candy.

Boxes of stick candy. 2^^ pounds to the box sold for a quarter.

A best seller was the big pieces of stick candy, as big around as your wrist and one foot long.

And there were gum drops and chocolate drops as well as spinning tops.

And rag dolls, china dolls, mouth harps and pocket knives.

At this season, much gun powder and shots were sold.

These wrapped separately were often carried home in a knapsacks. These knapsacks were often used to carry home purchases made in the store.

Business kept the store opened until about eleven oclock on Christmas Eve.

Christmas Day, 1900

The table on Christmas Day was filled with good things.

There was turkey, oysters, beef and ham. These with veg-' 'etables stored from summer made the main course. Ther there was a fruit cake, made

from parched flour and filled with nuts and raisins. These seeded raisins had to have seeds taken out before they could be used in the cake.

And there were plain cakes, silver and gold and one of coconut.

Dessert was ambrosia, sliced oranges mixed with coconut and topped with whipped cream.

Families in those days usually kept Christmas as a unit at home.

Kids still hung their stockings by the fireplace and no doubt that the marks of Santa Claus boots could plainly be seen on the side of the iivside of the chhnney.

But the twenty years that had elapsed since the Christmas of 1880 had changed quite a bit. Trees were in use more often, and presents given more, for times were better.

But there were still white Christmases, silver Christmases and those of brown and gray and mistletoe still held its magic.

A Tale of a Christmas Evi

Around about the turn of the centui-y a strong - short stocky man came to the Pactolus area. His name, so the story goes, was Thompson. It seems he was the relatlcm of a family that once lived around Pactolus. Thompson w'orked for the Short Lumber Co. This company had a tram road in the vicinity. When not at work, Thompson spent much of his time around Yankee Hall Landing and the Old Colonial Cemetery, Here was bur 1 e d Sam Ralston, the man Thompson claimed W'as one of his relations.

Sam Ralston, driver from his native Ireland in 1798 for his part in the Rebellion came to America and Pitt County when a young man. After his death, the family moved west.

Here one of the daughter is said to have married Frank James, brother of the bandit Jesse James.

How Thompson fitted in this picture, perhaps will never be known. And what really brought him back to the land that knew Sam Ralston and his foibles is also in the realm of mystery.

But one Christmas Eve, when last minute tasks were being performed and children were hanging their stockings a shadowy figure was busy digging around the roots of a large walnut tree down by the landing.

Next morning, a large excu-Vatioii was found around the tree.

And the few people who saw Thompson that brief time on Christmas morning, say he seemed a happy man.

But no wie ever found out why the man seemed so happy. For that was the last time

he was ever seen aiound Pactolus,

And time hasnt found out who he really was or why he had come to the .lands along the Tar.

Had the Ralstons in their life in the west whispered about a secret hidden under the roots of a walnut tree grown not far from where Sam Ralston lay buried in Pitt County?

And did the short, stocky lumberjack come back and on a Christmas Eve find the answer among the roots of the walnut tree?

Who knows?

Today

Pactolus dreams under the cold sky of another December day. It is almost Christmas once more. Almost stocking hanging time again. When the young ones take to their beds

this Christmas Eve the long, est night in the year wUi a "vision of sugar plums dance in their heads?

Perhaps not. for this day and time there seem to be more exciting things to dream about. Rockets, footballs, electric trains and many other things that one finds at the foot of the tree.

And the thrill of a filled stocking oranges, apples, nuts, raisins and a shiny knife may seem to the chil-dren of today as prosiac.

But at one time it was a cause of wild-eyed wonder, the stocking, and marks of the toe of a boot scrapped in the chimney soot.

For in those days of long ago, the keeping of Christmas in old Pactolus was a simple thing.

Three Wise Men Astrologers

Their fabled names are familiar to millions. Their long and arduous pilgrimage to bring their gifts to the infant Jesus has been re-told ip song for many Christmases. The robed figures of Balthasar. Melchior and Gaspar are Included In thousands of Christmas pageants across the country.

But were these three Magi really kings, as sOTig and story proclaim?

Researchers at the Encyclopedia Americana have found the title to be erroneous, and stems from a second century legend, rather than from fact.

The three travelers who followed the star were not temporal kings,, but actually astrologers, just as is stated in the New Testament account of the guiding star that led the "wise men from the east.

The term "Magi Is accurate too, for It originally stood for the priestly caste of the ancient Persian Zoroastrian religion.' As the religion moved westward, it came In contact with Babylonian beliefs and practices, and thus derived a .strong Interest In astrology, demonology and

Two Christmases Are Bound To Excite The Children Of Greece

KIDS IN GREECE

ATHENS (AP) In ancient Greeces happy, confused holiday season there are two Christmases one on Dec. 25 and the second on New Years Eve. And Jan. 6, Epiphany, is another holiday.

Before World War H, the traditional Yuletide exchange of gifts, for children only, was made on New Years Eve. Only recently have adults started exchanging small token presents The gift exchange is being extended moreover beyond close members of the family. All this occiirs now on Dec. 25.

With the influx of foreigners living in Greece since the war, new Christmas attitudes have been adopted by the Greeks Previously the Christmas tree and the decorations familiar to Americans were practically unknown, Now Christmas trees are

so common that Greek forests cant keep up with the seasonal demand, the trees have to be Imported from Germany and Yugoslavia.

In the more remote villages, the "old" Christmas Is celebrated. without its gay and festive aspects. Ml New Years Elve, There, Easter Is still the big holiday.

In the cities there is even "official" recognition of the Western celebration with elaborate street decorations and lighting. Athens main shopping avenues reflect a Greek a^mpt to copy the holiday dlspli^s of New Yoric and LMidon.

Shopkeepers welcome the Yuletide season. They do their new rush business before Dec. 25. close down for two days, and then reopen for the "second Christmas of those not yet converted to Western ways.

As in most of the Western I world, turkey is the main fea- ture of Christmas dinner in Greece.

I The "turkey man" makes the I rounds of villages and suburbs with his herd of young birds early in the fall. The average family, more for reasons of ecomwiy than custom, buys its turkey then and fattens him up at home for the two or three months before Christmas.

Shortbreads and cakes are an integral part of the seasonal ! meal. They are prepared with flour, butter, sugar, eggs and flavors called "Tsourekla."

Another pastry is called "Kourabiedes (or Lazy Soldiers), And "Melomakarona, a sweeter pastry, is made like the Kourabiedes but drijw with honey.

Technically, the Greek Santa Claus is St. Basil. His "name-

TOKYO(AP)Japan may be a natlMi of Buddhists and Shinto-Ists, but at Christmas time the Yuletide spirit is everywhere.

Department stores and shop windows are gaily decorated. Santa Clauses roam the streets. Gifts are wrapped with elaborate care.

In fact, Christmas In Japan now is practically a national in-stitutiMidespite the fact that only 700,000 of the nations 94 million people follow the Christian faith.

Until 1945, Christmas went by relatively unnoticed. But in the postwar drive toward economic recovery and prosperity, commercial possibilities of Christmas seemed to businessmen too good a thing to pass up.

Department stores formerly looked forward mainly to June, when Japanese oteerve the traditional Buddhist holiday of OBon" by exchanging gifts, and late December, when gifts are exchanged again by tradition to welcome the new year.

Except for Japans Christians, Christmas here is devoid of any religious connotation.

But if Japanese kids dont know the meaning of a religious Christmas, they certainly know about Santa Claus, the bearded man who brings them presents.

A single department store may have as many as 100 Santa Clauses. Even elevator attendants and saleswomen are turned into girl Santas.

Night clubs stage special parties, and the revelry fits in well with the traditional merry-making that precedes the Japanese New Year, a period of rest and quiet.

December 25 is not a national holiday. Its work as usual. But that doesnt matter.

What counts is the man with the white beard and the gifts he brings as he sings out with a heavy accent:

"Merry Ku-Ri-Su-Ma-Su!

LONDON (AP)The British Post Office expects about 100,-000 small problems to land in the nations mail boxes this Christmas.

Most will defy soluticm.

Every year, thousands of British toddlers get off heartbreaking letters to Santa Claus. They are apt to be long, ink stained and largely unreadable. Many dont carry stamps. Some have neither Santas address nor the names of the senders.

The post office reacts with official rectitude but not apparently with much heart.

"If the letters are properly stamped," said an official, "we try to send them back to the sender marked insufficient address. If they are not prepaid, we destroy them.

"After all what can you do with the vast majority addressed to such places as Chimney Corner and Fairyland?"

British kids keep trying and a few small fry have found a loophole in Santas official defenses. These are the (mes who address their shopping lists to Denmark Norway, Iceland, Greenland and any other place on the map where its likely the old boy hangs out.

The post office solemnly sends these (malways provided they carry the proper stamps. "We have no alternative under the regulations. the official explained. "It is up to the postal authorities in the various countries to handle them.

Youd think the marked lack of response would have discouraged seme faith in Santa, known to British youngsters up to the age of 90 as Father^ Christmas But, not so.

A 5-year-old named Nicholas weightily divulged his view of Yuletide.

"Christmas," he said, "is when everybody gets presents and Father CHiristmas brings them round and puts them in the stockings.

"These are not stockings like Mummys but real stockings. They are black.

Young Nicky was asked if Christmas had anything to do with church.

"Oh, yes," he said. "We go twice that day.

Santa appears in most London department stores in mid-November and is stiJl there long after new year resolutions have vanished with all other lost causes.

Selfridges, the largest store In the capital, employs a wUlhig character called "Uncle Holly

from early October. His is to take any messages left by the small fry until Santa arrives in the grotto.

Christmas in Britain like most other placesis for the kids. The adult fringe gets hot under the collar about advertising which starts with only 100 more shopping days to go; or decorations that spring up on the stores before the November fogs have settled down.

There is also the sobering thought of the wide open spaces in the billfold after the joyoufi cries of the family party have died down.

"But there is one aspect of the British Christmas holiday which makes it among the mosi. civilized in the world, said an American with long term journalistic service in London.

"Britain does have Boxing Day.

Boxing Day falls on Dec. 6. Its the day the mail carrier and the paper boy call for a seasonal tip known here as the Christmas "box." Its also a full holiday.

THERE'S a Santa in almost every language. He't called Father Christmas In Britain, but hli duties are the same and gladden the hearts of these children.

ENAMELED BOWLS SAVE SILVER

Holiday entertaining calls for bringing out your best in serving pieces.

But some hostesses have learned from sad experience the folly of putting mayonnaise, ripe olives, eggs or salted nuts in silver bowls, because of the tarnishing or permanent staining and pitting of silver that often follows. To remedy this there are now on the market silver holloware pieces with colorful enamel Unings.

The compotes, serving dishee, sauce bowls, etc. can be had In muted tones of red, blue, green, yellow, gold and coffee brown.

Pitt County farmers ar en> teilng into the holiday season with probably the most pros-perois productive year in farm

history.

Farm production of tobacco was the highest on record with a whopping 2181 pounds per acre average yield in Pitt County.

The highest previous record of production was 2021 pounds in 1960. This means an increase of 9 per cent over the previous record high and an increase <rf 32 per cent over that of 1962. So, even with the 10 per cent reduction for 1964, the ouUook for net farm Income from tobacco looks bright.

The record for peanut produc

While aU our farm problems are not solved *by any means, with the ever-increasing moduc-Uon costs, it would seem that we have much to be thankful for as we begin to take inventory of 1963 and make plans for 1964.

Anyone who has lived on a farm during the hc^iday season. Im sure, will agree wlUi me when I say there is much to be enjoyed and appreciated at this Ume of year. If you havent lived on the farmed during Christmastime, then you just havent lived. For farm folks Ouistmas means things.

But, with all the preparation and attending to necessities, let us be careful lest we forget or overlook the true spirit of Christmas and what it should mean to all men everywhere. Christmas is and rightly should be a time for remembering friends, old and new, and efg)ecially those less fartunate than wethose who lack some of the necessities of life.

But let us remember that on the first Christmas, God shared and not only shared with the world but gave of Himself that you and I might have life more abundantly.

This week, I should like to share with you a Christmas Prayer by Peter Mwshall:

WE THANK THEE, O GOD, for the return of the wondrous spell of this Christmas season that brings its own sweet joy into our Jaded and troubled hearts.

Forbid it. Lord, that we should celebrate without understanding what we celebrate, or, like our counterparts so long ao, fail to see the star or to hear the song of glorious promise.

A9 our hearts yield to t h e spirit of Christmas, may we discover that it is thy holy spirit who comes not a sentiment but a power to remind us of the only way by which there may be peace on the eartii and good will among men.

May we not spend Christmas but keep It, that we may be kept in its hope, through him who emptied himself in coming to us that we might be filled with peace and joy In returning to God.

In addition to the Olympic sports program, a cultural program has been prepared to meet the refined tastes of the sports enthusiasts. The "Wiener Saengerknaben" the famous Viennese Boya Choir, tha Haydn Orchestra under the direction of maestro Antonia Po-drotti, artii^ like Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Wolfgang Schnei-derhan, Inngard Seefrled and others will provide aritistlc enjoyment during the days (rf cwn-petiUon.

The people of Innsbruck are proud that their city has been selected as the site for the

Olympic Games of 1964, but they are calm and used to welcoming sports competitors and tourists alike. Business people and hotel owners are the group which will gain most from the Olympics as it wiU increase sales and guarantee full occupance (rf the hotels. Prices for hotel-rooms are fixed and thus visitors will not be exploited. Business people were asked not to raise prices for the Olympic events and they didnt. They raised prices well ahead of time, shortly after it was made known that Innsbruck was to be an oljnnplc city. Prices in Innsbruck are among the highest in all of Austria and are high for Austrlans in relatiwi to their incwne; an average income being armmd Aust r i a n Schilling 3000.00, which corres-pons to about $120.00.

For Austrlans, prices are these are high and therfore the standard oi living Is lower than in the United States. However, for visitors, the prices compare favorably with prices existing in US winter sports centers.

The unique and beautiful panorama of Innsburck, the fad-liUes that have been c(wtruct-ed to accomodate the Olympic games, and the friendliness of the people will assure the success of the IX Olympic Winter Games and will add new friends to the already large number of admirers and friends of this city 1 the green Inn River, often referred to as tiie "Perle der Alpen", the pearl In the Alps.

With Chrlatrnaa comes a festive spirit. And, this festive spirit taJkes the form of decorations around the house.

Night motoriato see brightly colored lights forming an archway over downtown streets as shoppers hurry to finish last minute buying.

Many hours of work have gone into these decorations. Boys and girls, wives, and yes, even husr bands, have had a hand in preparing them. And all simply to make the season a lite ntore festive and a little brighter iori some(Mie. . .possible unknown to them. . .passing by.

In the residential areas, doors are adoraed with Christmas wreaths of various colors. Many contain holly or an evergreen while others include dried arrangements. Still others may include the smiling face of Santa himself.

Lights of blue, red. yellow, green, form the outline of many houses whUe other multi-colored i lights brighten a bush or tree in the yard.

And as you drive along, you can see a family deocratlng a tree in front of a window. In the next house, the tree is already up and the evergreen is aglow with the warmth of the lights and shining with tinsle and artificial snow. .

In another house, a recent Innovation, the aluminum Christmas tree is visible. Its shining and reflective brwiches changing color as a spot light equipped with various colored filters revolves.

Down the block, tall lighted candles and a lighted likeness of Old Saint Nick adorn the porch of a dwelling. And across the street, Santa and his reindeer can be seen atop a roof.

In another section of town, a large picture attached to a front door shows Santa opening a door and Inviting you in. And on the outskirts of the city, colored lights strung on the guy wires of a radio antenna form a pyramid reminding one of a large Christmas tree.

Then on other doors, a large lighted Santa Claus face is the only decoration. This smiling face is a symbol of joy and friendship, and a tradition of the season.

And in another yard the traditional manger scene depicting the birth of Christ, which we are celebrating at this time of the year.

Then In still another yard, three figures, the three wise men, bring you the wish of Peace on earth and in their simple way say Merry Christmas!

Show Boat Is Publics Choice

LAMBERTVILLE, N. J. (AP) i St. John Terrell, who started the first Music Circus here 15 years ago, rates Show Boat as the publics favorite musical comedy.

You can do a production of it every other summer and pack them in, he notes. In Terrells runner-up Ust, a small group of shows can be revived every third year, more every fourth year, and occasionally theres a once-only entertainment.

Old Props Used By Young Actors

EAST BRUNSWICK, N. J. (AP) The scenery from some of Broadways shortest-iom shows provides the backdrop for some juvenile dramatics here.

Sets are usually burned when a production closes, but atmospheric props from Sophie, Golden Fleecing and Let It Ride- were salvaged for the work of the Childrens Summer Stock Theater.

From among the 300 youngsters in the group, casts are chosen each week for informal musicals based on favorite fables and folklore.

Gospel By Luke Is More Precise

A doctors devotion to his patient was responsible for one of the most painstakingly detailed historical works extant, the Gospel according to St. Luke.

Luke was a physician of Antioch when Paul came to him as a patient. Luke, the son of former slaves, had learned a profession which gave him instant Roman citizenship and prestige.

According to Greek scholars, Luke first tried to dissuade Paul from undertaking his torturous journeys. As a physician he believed that Pauls health was not good enough. When Paul insisted upon going, Luke closed his flourishing office and accompanied the missionary to watch over his health.

Luke must have found Paul fascinating. He decided to write about his patient. But with scholarly dedicaticHi, he knew he could not begin with Paul. Paul traveled to tell of Jesus Christ.

It was Luke's first task, then, to write of Jesus.

At every opportunity Luke Investigated Pauls story. He visited the holy places and spoke with the apostles and presumably with Mary. He checked dates and places time and again. The result Is a work agreed to be a historical masterpiece.

Of the four Gospels, the Gospel according to St. Luke 1 the only one to pinpoint dates. Luke mentions exactly what was happening politioally when Jesus w&s 30 years old. He sets the precise time that John the Baptist came out of the wilderness.

Some Survival Tips, If Youre

Lacking In The Artistic Talent

By LYDIA BICKFORD

Christmas is the time of the year when my abysmal lack of artistic talent can be neither concealed nor denied.

While my neighbors are snipping away at rolls of shiny foil, creating snowmen out of plastic loam, and weaving their own Wreaths from pine boughs, I am in the cellar, looking for remnants of last year's decor which can be brought up to date.

My problem is two-fold; I have no artistry and no dexterity. It would not occur to me to tastefully arrange a fir branch over the fireplace, attach tiny red balls to it. and spray on some silver glisten.

If it did occur to me, I would undoubtedly rip my fingers when I wired on the balls, and, seconds after taping the display in position, would hear it drop with a crash to the mantle.

Through the years I have labored to be more creative. I have tcied to imitate the least lavish ideas gleaned from magazines, like floating candles in a bowl of water. As soon as I get them launched and lighted, they tip over.

I would like to think I could do more with a Christmas package than tie paper ribbon around it. I love the sequlned. spangled.

If some well intenUoned critics had their way, the popular figure of Santa Claus would be as dead as the Fourth of July firecracker.

By and large the firecracker, once responsible for more blinded and maimed youngsters thn the safety council would like to remember, has gone unmoured even though its disappearance has changed completely the character of the old time Fourth In much of the country.

But think what an emptiness there would be if Santa^^ faded away!

Commercialized, caricatur-ized, diverted to a thousand activities that the original Saint Nicholas never could have envisioned. Santa still holds the Imagination of children everywhere.

What matter if there ^ a Santa on every street comer and in every department store doesnt Santa need helpers? Who cares about the logistics of gift distribution from the North Pole to chimneyless homes and apartments in ten thousand towns there are a lot of mysterious goings on in the grownup world. What child do you know who has suffered a lasting trauma from the pile of Santa-given toys that proved too lavish in one stance, or too scanty in another?

You dont have to be any great shakes at logic to downgrade Santa. Hes an anachronism in the electronic age. an aberration from the fundamen-; tal Christian theme, and the product to a considerable extent of the fancies of a versifier, cartoonist, assorted story writers and ad men.

But a generation that laughs at legends and debunks heroes still clings with its children to the Image, no matter how tawdry, of a happy, all-knowing, al-wa.vs generous, always loving sprite whose presence once a year colors the fabric of the great religious holiday. And the color he gives It Is a happy one.

Courteous Sign Wasnt Enough

WINDSOR. N. Y. AP) -Windsor man who posted a sign! on his bam saying Please do i not ask permission to hunt, re- j turned from work in nearby i Binghampton to find several! hunters in his woods. j

When he Inquired whether they I had read his prominently displayed sign, one replied:

We did read it. We thought you just didnt w ant to be both- i ered.*

smartly sophisticated boxes I receive on Christmas day. But I cant duplicate them.

So my field of decoration is limited to the tree. Anyone can hang ornaments on a tree. Or so I used to think, until my family decided otherwise.

If not artistic, I am sentimental about tree-trimming. It must be a family affair. So early Christmas Eve I try to find the family, which Is quite difficult since theyre all college age, and are more .ambulatory than stationary at holiday time.

Its nine oclock before theyre rounded up, and have started hooking up the lights. And then the battle lines are drawn.

fers the pointer to the star.

There is the sensitive soul who recoils if two blue balls are in juxtaposition, or if yellow has landed unexpectedly by orange, or if one side of the tree holds more large balls than the other.

There is the perfectionist who puts each single piece of silver tinsel at a time on the boughs and will not be hurried.

So it's close to midnight by the time the tree is adorned. We cut off all the lights except those on the tree. Though aching with fatigue, I murmur, The best one we ever had.

Last years was better balanced, says my eldest.

Ive always wanted a taller tree, says my younger son.

Why didnt we get a blue spruce? Always trying to save money. interjects another.

My husband, who doesnt see why we have any tree at all. has fled the scene.

Perhaps its just as well I'm not artistic. I'm satisfied.

TWO of the plays will be performed for student audiences for nine weeks prior to start of the season for the general public, Joseph Verner Reed, festival producer. said a fourth production, yet to be selected, may be a non-Shakespearean work. Shaws Caesar and Cleopatra was done last summer, the first time the company crffered a work by another palywrlght.
