CHRISTMAS MORN. . .Hero's hoping that St. Nick doesn't get caught at his work tonight.

More Needing

By STUART SAVAGET Reflector Staff W liter Christmas is a time when people seem to think more of others, and make a special effort to help those in need.

The local Salvation Army and the Department of Social Services are no exceptions. This year, both agencies report that they have had more requests and are trying to help more people than in the past.

Dorothy Bolton, director of the Department of Social Services said that requests for food stamps are up and that weve been working every night" for the past two weeks, trying to catch up by Christmas. Although she said she could not give any figures, she noted that requests for aid made to her department have increased.

Lt. John Jones, commanding officer of the Salvation Army here said, however, that 304 families were aided by the Army this yearwith food baskets and toysas campaired with about 250 last Christmas.

The toys and food were distributed to those that had registered and were found in need, last week.

Applications were way up" he said. Prices are up, money tighter, and we are tyring to help more people."

Both Miss Bolton and Lt. Jones said requests for fuel are increasing. They cited higher fuel costs as one reason.

We are helping about four to six families a week," Lt. Jones said. He noted, however, that many clients may not be using fuel wisely," although the major problem is the higher coot of fuel."

Shoppers Selective In Seasonal Buying

RvTnMRAINC'fi

By TOM BAINES Reflector Staff Writer

Greenville shoppers leaned toward more practical, selective buying this Christmas but most local merchants indicated that their business volume was equal, if not better in some cases, to last years traffic.

Several of the merchants contacted, however, said that while their business volume was not quite as good as during the holiday weeks of 1973, the decrease in sales was not alarming, but expected in view of the economy.

The general consensus of merchants surveyed appeared to be that there was money to be spent in Greenville but shoppers had their eyes on the economy and the quality and usefulness of the product when they made gift selections.

Ive found thgt more of the needed, practical items are being boiight this year," commented a local department store manager who said that shopper traffic at his store was unusually good this Christmas.

The manager said that mens furnishings and sweaters were very popular as gift items and most cold weather articles sold well. Small appliance sales were down from last year, it was noted.

Business at a popular hobby shop was just as good this year as last season, if not better," according to a stiN'e spokesman who contended that, If business was any better, my feet couldnt stand it."

Discuring shopping trends at the shop, she said that last year you could pick two or three things" that stood out as best sellers but this year a variety of items throughout the store were popular. She explained that many shoppers this year preferred to make their gifts and they purchased materials for that purpose. Train sets were very much in demand again this year, the spokesman added.

According to the manager of a variety store here, business was real good" during December and actually up from last year h-both November and December.

The manager observed that shoppers this year selected the more useful and practical articles, more so that the fringe items." He said that ail types of clothing for men, women and children sold well and toys continued to make up a large percentage of overall purchases.

Overall, Im real pleased with the volume of business this

year, he pointed out.

Business started out with a bang in early December at one of the local flower shops with customers buying an extreme amount of real nice things," a spokesman reported. As Christmas day drew closer, the pattern returned to a more normal late-minute shopper traffic with customers buying a lot of do-it-yourself things, he said.

The store manager said that terrarium items were popular this year, as were most back-to-

nature things. Hanging baskets were a hot item and poinsettias sold better this year than last.

Business was "extremely better than we anticipated," the manager pointed out, noting that we are very fortunate.

All baked goods sold well at one of Greenvilles bakery shops, according to the manager. Business was very good during the holiday period, at least as good as last year, it was pointed out. The manager explained that dollar volume was up but bakery production

costs also took a healthy increase.

At one of the large discount stores here, the manager said that business was a little bit off compared to other years, but considering the inflationary times and the economy, we feel we are doing well. He said that October and November sales were also down a little, but he said that volume pricing and consumer demand allowed the business to hold a fairly good bead on this years sales '(Continued on page S)

Salvaoo Army LL John Jooes said yesterday that the Armys (Christmas program goal has almost been met Last week, LL Jooes reported the annual Christmas appeal was about $5,000 behind in donations. The Army in Pitt County has set a goal of $11,000 this year.

the School of of Syracuse University at the time of their adoption. They had a sister three years older than they. Their mother was the daughter of a railroad man from Vermont. They had been given up for adoption when their father found it impossible to keep them after his wife became ill just after the twins births and remained so for nearly four years, with doctors advising him she probably would never recover.

They knew because of the documents changing ^ each of their names to the surname of their adoptive parents that their original name was Carlson.

Found Parents Full Names Several leads were followed to no avail. Then Barbara and a friend called the Syracuse, N.Y. newspaper and asked the librarian there to check the 1946 files for a birth announcement that may have been published just after Jan. 7, the twins date of birth. There it was: Bom to Harold G. and Rita Filion Carolson, twin daughters.

Armed with their parents names, Barbara began a trial. and error attempt that paid off on the last of six railroad towns in Vermont she checked for Filions. There were three Filions in Brattleboro. When a woman answered her first call, she identified herself, adding that she had a twin sister', Betsy. Oh, My God, the twins, the twins! the lady exclaimed.

She told Barbara she was their Great Aunt Julia and gave her the phone number of their grandmother, Mrs. Mary Filion, who, at 75, had kept their picture on her bedroom wall and prayed

to find them before she died. She talked to their grandmother next, and then to their mother, who now lives in Waterville. N.Y.

Barbara and Betsy each talked to all three women that night They learned that their parents were divorced, but that their mother is much better than she was during their early childhood. They were told of how both sides of the family had searched for them unsuccessfully. Also something of the circumstances of their being relinquished were relatedof a mother too sick to care for her little girls and of a bewildered young father whose world fell in on him with a hospitalized wife, school and a job, a three-year-old, and two babies with colic.

The next day Betsy called her father where he works as an engineer for General Electric in Binghampton, N.Y. He, in turn, called Barbara. He told them about their sister, Sally, who lives in Stuarts Draft, Va. and of his present wife, Dottie, and two more daughters, Valerie and Izzie. And he told them the exact number of nights he had prayed for them after he gave them up for adoption on the advice of a social worker io the orphanage that had kept them and later placed them in a foster home.

There followed several weeks of phone calls and letters and exchanging tape recordings and pictures. Aunts and cousins contacted Betsy and Barbara and all expressed joy at being found by them.

Couple Should Seek Counseling

By Abigail Van Buran

Mr cttaa* tummMI. v. mm tac.

DEAR ABBY: My husband is a military man and has been for 17 years. He recently got orders to go overseas. He can take his family;-all expenses paid-but he refuses to take us.

Weve been married for only three years. We were separated once for three weeks and that was terribly hard on me. This tour would be between 18 and 24 months.

My husband says he cant afford to Uke us, but other Army men in the same circumstances manage. We have three kids. (We each had one when we got married and we had one together.)

Please. Abby, how can I make him take us with himf I love him so much 1 dont think 1 could live without him.

ARMY WIFE

DEAR WIFE: You cant force him to, but when a husband and wife come to an impasse, they should seek counseUng together. Ifhe refuses to go, go alone. The Army chaplain can advise you. Good luck, dear.

DEAR abby: Four years ago, our 19-year-old daughter (111 call her Carol) became pregnant by a young man who walked out on her, but she wanted to keep the baby anyway.

My eldest son and his wife were childless. They desperatdy wanted a baby, and seemed unable to have one, so 1 talked Carol into letting her brother legally adopt her newborn son. (Few people know this.)

About a year later, Carol married a fine young man and they moved 300 miiee from here. Twelve months later Carol gave birth to another son.

Since Carols marriage she has been very cold towards me. I would write her long, newsy letters which she would answer with short, formal notes. She never telephones me. I always call her. And the is no sign of real affectionjust politeness on her part.

When my husband and I drove down for Carols babys christening, she put us up at a nearby motel. I know she has a guest room.

I am sure the reason for her coolness is because she now regrets giving up her firstborn, and she holds me responsible. I admit, the idea of my son adopting Carols baby was mine, but I honestly thought it would be better for Carol, too.

What should I do, Abby? Stay in the background and wait until she comes to me? Or continue writing and and sending little gifts as I have? SHUT OUT

DEAR SHUT: Continue as you have been. At least there b some communication between you and Carol. Dont take all the blame. Mother. Even though you say you "talked your daughter into giving up her firstborn. the ultimate dedaion was hers.

The Lost Christinas

There is nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child.

Not to feel the cold on your bare feet as you rush to the Christmas tree in the living room. Not to have your eyes sparkle at the wonderment of discovery. Not to rip the ribbons off the shiny boxes with such abandon.

What happened?

When did the cold, bare feet give way to reason and a pair of sensible bedroom slippers? When did the sparkle and the wonderment give way to depression of a long day? When did a box with a shiny ribbon mean an item on the charge?

A child of Christmas doesnt have to be a toddler or a teen. A child of Christmas is anyone who believes that Kings have birthdays.

The Christmases you loved so well are gone. What happened?

Maybe they diminished the year you decided to have your Christmas cards printed to send to 1,500 of your closest friends and dearest obligations. You got too busy to sign your own name.

Maybe it was the year you discovered the traditional Christmas tree was a fire hazard and the needles had to be vacuumed every three hours and you traded its holiday aroma for a silver one that revolved, changed colors, played Silent Night and snowed on itself.

Or the year it got to be too much trouble to sit around the table and put popcorn and

cranberries on a string. Possibly you lost your childhood the year you solved your gift problems neatly and coldly with a checkbook.

Think about it. It might have been the year you were too rushed to bake and resorted to slice-and-bake with no nonsense. Who needs a bowl to cleanor lick?

Most likely it was the year you were so efficient in paying back all your party obligations. A wonderful little caterer did it for you for $3 per person

Children of Christmas are givers Thats what the day is for. 'They give thanks, love, gratitude, joy and themselves to one another.

It doesnt necessarily mean you have to have children around a tree. Its rather like lighting a candle youve been saving, caroling when your feet are cold, building a fire in a clean grate, grinding tinsel deep into the rug, licking frosting off a beater, giving something you made yourself.

Its laughter, being with people you like, and at some time falling to your knees and saying, 'Thank You for coming to my birthday party.

How sad indeed to awake on Christmas and not be a child.

Time, self-pity, apathy, bitterness and exhaustion can take the Christmas out of the child, but you cannot take the child out of Christmas.

We Have Poor Basis For Doubt

Luke 2:1-20

And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, 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 up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, (because he was of the house and lineage of David)

To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

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

And she brought forth her first born son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

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 glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid.

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

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

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

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of heavenly hosts praising G(xl, 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, let 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 babe 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 they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

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

And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

Time Of Faith, Hope And Love From Us All

Christmas is the holiest of days for Christians throughout the world.

It celebrates the birth of the Christ Child, who brought new hope in an oppressed world.

Thus for us it is a time of renewed faith and hope, and a time of love for all humanity.

All of us at The Daily Reflector wish for everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Top-Level Policy Conflict

By BILL .NOBLITT

RALEIGHThere is a top-level clash in Gov. James E. Holshouser's administration revolving around the question of state policy for economic growth and development.

The conflict boils down to this;

Officials at the Department of Natural and Economic Resources, which includes industry hunters and community development people, have spent a lot of time and money trying to outline North Carolinas economic growth potentials and directions to the year 2000, developing an Economic Growth Policy

The state's chief planning officer thinks such an exercise is largely a waste of time and money in a state where implementation appears unrealistic, and the problem is so complex as to be mostly "conjuring up things for planners to do,"

James^R. Harrington, secretary of Natural and Economic Resources, is quick to point out that the first step in developing an economic growth policy was

a study by the Research Triangle Institute, and it is by no means the last.

.New Industry

That study, looking ahead to the 21st Century, called for closing income gaps for Tar Heels by stressing new "industrial mixes of related business operations in preselected areas of the state.

Those close to ongoing developments in the economic growth policy area have been puzzled that the Research Triangle Institute study was leaked to the public in a low key fashion, and that previously discussed plans for a public announcement from the governors office never materialized.

The puzzle resolved earlier this month when the official state publication Planning for Progress presented a lead article written by Lynn R. Muchmore. state planning officer, which he delivered in a speech to the Council of State Planning Agencies in Hawaii last June

In that highly technical talk, Muchmore outlined the complexities of state control over economic growth and concluded that, In most

states, given the purposes which growth policy impliesthe ambivalence of public opinion, the failure of the economic science to isolate critical controls, the managerial weakness of State governmentI am not certain that it really matters at all.

The key question, he argued, should be, Does it really matter whether we have an economic growth policy? rather than what that policy should be.

In a recent interview, Muchmore explained his position: "Do we really need an economic growth policy . . . does it have a purpose Lets be realistic, and not just conjure up things for planners to do.

His position is that North Carolina, in the first place, is not suffering such blight as to prompt an aroused citizenry demanding reform, and that state governmental actions are not capable of dealing with economic growth.

He thinks the Research Triangle study focus on improving the industrial mix is good, but that is only one component, and even then it

begs the question ... of what kinds of tools the state must have to achieve that industrial mix.

Reliance on state industry hunters to do the job is wishful thinking, Muchmore believes. They have not generally accomplished much, and a firm seeking a new location has staff and consultants at work who know more . about North Carolina than our own

people," he said. The

decisions on economic

growth, he said, are generally dictated by past actions and are made in the absence of state influence.

Strength For Today

Yesterdays article in thb place stressed the need of persbtence in prayer. But the question arises, why b thb necessary? Does God want to withhold hb gifts from us until we have pleaded for them repeatedly in' abject fashion? Is there some in-dbposition in God which we have lo overcome with our petitions?

Not at all. The indbposition b in us. Our praying does not break down the resbtance df God until at last He gives us what we ask for. It breaks

Let me talk for a iroment. if I may. about the high price of cars, the need for coal, and the road to Woodville. because the three themes twist together; they all add up

For the past 10 or 12 months, the Forces of Progress have been at work on our road .A year ago. we had an entirely adequate gravel countr\ road. It was lined with trees that were pastel lace in spring and

crimson fire in tall. The ditch banks provided cover for labbits. woodchucks, and quail. Near White Walnut Run. the day lilies, red and gold, used to spring up like pennoned trumpets everv May. ,

Other Editors Say No Budget-Cutting

(Henderson Dispatch)

How it will be in the North Carolina Legislature this winter and spring is very uncertain, but in Washington there was for a while a serious effort toward sharp reductions in Federal spending. It seems, however, to have died aborning The White House under President Ford wanted the budget reduced to not more than5302 billioa In some circles it is now forecast that the 1975 fiscal year will end June 30 with a $20 billion deficit.

Its just like old timesand some not so old. The free-wheeling habit of reckless outlays is to be continued, for the present at least That means the national debt will increase propoi-tionately. It has been said that interest alone on the debt is around $30 billion each year.

Freshmen congressmen and the liberals are not as interested in economy They want to spend money, and that is likely to be the pattern in the 94th Congress.

The Ford administration is preparing a budget for the 1976 fiscal year, which begins next July 1. Some estimates are that it will require a genius to hold spending in that year even at $330 billioa The excess over revenue will constitute deficit spending and may reach the highest point in peacetime history. Either that or there will be a sharp increase in taxes to finance the difference

Upshot of it all is that a balanced budget in the foreseeable future is hopeless. It means also that the country is moving steadily in the direction of national bankruptcy. The combination of inflation and recession are only stimulating the trend

Whatever of spending may be cut back will be more than offset in other directions. At besL there will be no more than token budget cuts, and probably not enough to be noticeable in overall operations.

If inflation continues at the present rate, or cut deeply into Federal revenues Nor would higher taxes ease the plight of most taxpayers.

Last week the President of the United States, a man of conservative instincts, wrestled with the ' strip iiining bill. The purpose of the bill is to protect land and surface waters from the bleeding scars that are left when stripped earth exposes veins of coal. If the bill liecomes law. coal will cost more; and the higher price will further inflate the cost of steel, electric energy, and industrial goods.

PARIS (AP) The most successful dwarf in France is neither clown nor jockey but a brilliant 71-year-old jurist, mountain climber and ace pistol shot who hopes to help thousands of French dwarfs out of their misery.

Jean Brisse-Saint-Macary. 4-foot-5. suffered through a tortured childhood and a lifetime of prejudice and discrimination before reaching a haven of respect and recognition in the normal world.

Brisse holds a doctorate in law. is a recognized expert on rural economy, was a vice-president of the Congress of French Notaries Public and was a counselor at the French justice ministry. He made a career as a notary public, an official who in France undertakes many of the functions of a lawyer.

Last year, he retired to a little village in the Pyrenees Mountains and is now completing a book on his life He hopes it will inspire other dwarfs.

Brisse estimates there are 10.000 dwarfs in France, although no census ever has been taken and the state does not recognize them as handicapped persons. Many Frenchmen consider dwarfs figures of fun.

I hope my book will draw attention to their plight, which can be summed up in one word miserable." Brisse said in an interview. "Then I will use my contacts in government and the justice ministry to try to form an aassociation of dwarfs duly recognized by the state * Brisse said it will be difficult to group together all the dwarfs in France. Some have gained notoriety as clowns and circus acrobats, itinerant peddlers or odd-job men.

Most of them have great difficulty finding any kind of regular. rewarding employment. Brisse said. "I know of one man who is a treasurer in the Toulouse municipality, but otherwise the life of a dwarf in France is not a favored one.

As for prejudice, well. I can tell you. monsieur, that it is very rooted."

The Salvation Army director said he has received a considerable anxount of food and toys from schools, the State Theater and from the city firemen.

A truckload of toys and food was raised by the theater at a matinee and the firemen repaired another truck load of toys.

Holiday Layoffs Affect Many

By NICK TATRO .Associated Prea* Writer Workers in the auto, timber and textile industries are among the hardest hit by holiday season layoffs, according to a sampling by The Associated Press.

Pink slips have come at a time when prices are rising, personal income is declining and there is heavy competition for available jobs.

For some, holiday layoffs mean a few extra days vacation without pay. For oOkts the layoffs have been open-ended or permanent In aU, 6 million Americans were jobless, according to go-verment statistics compiled for November. Thats more than have been out of work since the nation was emerging from the Great Depression in 1980.

Then 8.1 million were jobless, about 14.6 per cent of that eras smaller work force. 'The current unemployment rate is 6.5 per cent

Hardest hit has been the auto industry. New car sales are down more than 30 per cent from a year ago and the layoff, in terms of duration, are the worst in the postwar period

Industrywide, 170,000 of the 690,000 hourly worken were furloughed this month. By Januarys end layoff temporary or indefinite will total about 300.000. or 40 per cent of the hourly work force.

At the same time, funds designed to give auto workers 95 per cent of their take-home pay arechfindling fast Auto coottii^ will not say how many workers have lost these benefits but union

estimate 1,000 General Motors workers are being dropped each week.

In the Pacific Northwest, the wood products industry has slumped into what some say is a depression. About

11.400 industry workers have been idled in Oregon, another

10.400 in northern California and thousands more in Washington State and elsewhere in the country.

Bill Dean of Random Lengths, a trade publication, said he layoffs were the most widespread in almost two decades. He estimated about 0 per cent of the sawmills will dose for two weeks during the holidays and another 30 per cent will close for more than a ui three days.

The timber industry is tied (krectly to and latest

figures show new housing starts dropped to an eight-year low in November.

The unemployment rate is 13.7 per cent in the construction industry as a whole with some areas hurt worse than others. In Buffalo, N.Y., for example, the industrys jobless rate is 40 per cent.

In Georgia, state labor officials estimate 200.000 employes in the textile, apparel industries and mobe home iiKhistries have been Uid off at some time during the holidays.

Textile layoffs have also swelled the unemployment rolls in the Carolinas, but no precise figures are available. ^4*kly unemployment insurance claims filed in North Carolina in November nearly quadrupled over the number filed in November 1973.

paced sales and adult bikes and go-karts also sold well.

The manager said that he ha<f really expected a decrease in sales this season" and he noted that he was "surprised with the volume."

Snoopy and all of the items related to the popular character, including Snoopy clothing, radios, and pillows, were in demand this season, according to the manager of a local book store. Hanging baskets, ropes for hanging pots and baskets and many of the tree trimming items were also selected in large quantities by Greenville shoppers, as were stuffed animals, games, puzzles, and scrapbooks The manager said that top book selections included Alistair Cookes America, Catherine Marshals Something More, All the President's Men by Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, and the Limited Selection Jericho: The South Beheld by James Dickey and Hubert Shuptrine. In addition, The Living Bible continued to be a best-seller and all childrens books, cookbooks, animal books and selections on America and the Civil War were high on the choice lists Following sales increases in both October and November, the month of December resulted in volume dropping off somewhat, according to the manager of a music store here. He said that guitars sold well but the larger items, including pianos, were off in sales.

Shopper traffic was not quite as good as last year at one of Greenville mens clothing stores, the owner said, but sales of suits and sport coats were up from 1973.

The manager said that the comparison with last years holiday season would be more in line following sales during the last few days before the 25th and overall sales might end up being as good as last year Sweater sales were great, the owner said, as ski-look types as well as crew neck and cardigans proved to be the most popular.

Terrarium supplies were in big demand at a local hardware and garden center with hanging baskets creating the biggest stir among planted items. A spokesman said that business there was real good this year and at least on a level with last years December volume.

A bicycle store proprietor said that sales there were down from last years figures although the better model of ten-speed bikes

The manager said that he observed a trend this Christmas of shoppers being more selective and price conscious and apparently comparing prices more in an effort to get the most from their dollars.

Large appliance sales, although down slightly from last year, were still considered very good and the manager said that there is always a demand for toys, no matter what the state of the economy is.

Credit card sales at the store were up this year from prior seasons, it was pointed out.

Sales at a top fashion store were consistent with last year, a spokesman reported. He said that buying was kind of sporadic but he felt the total volume would average out to be about the same as in December of 1973.

He also said that the buying public appeared to be more careful and selective in making choices and he pointed to leather and suede items as very popular as well as perfumes and jewelry as gift ideas. Lingerie was also a reliable gift choice The hottest items in the store were toe socks and the manager said that there was probably not another pair to be found in town.

Business at a Greenville furniture store was good leading up to Christmas and a spokesman said that although sales were a little down from last year, we cant complain. He also cited good business volume in October and November.

Shoppers continued to buy the better items of merchandise at the store, he said, and quality seemed to be on everyones mind. Early American furniture was easily the favorite and clocks, both in the grandmother and grandfather styles, moved well. Sales of I.a-Z-Boy rockers continued strong from last year.

No let-up in business was the report from a gift shop in town as favorite gift choices included jewelry, craft items, pottery and wicker articles. All wooden selections proved popular and candles, as always, were very much in demand. A shop spokesman said that he considered overall shopping volume up from last year.

Bike sales at a local service center were behind slightly in November and ran about equal to last year in December, according to the manager. The ever-popular ten-speed bike

was still preferred by many customers.

You just cannot imagine the euphoric feeling of lookiing into a face so like your own and knowing its that of your father youve longed to know for so many years It also was wonderful to be reunited with her twin, whom she had not seen in three years.

They visited the Carlsons for several days, and also their mother 100 miles away. Then their father drove them to Virginia to visit Sally and her husband and son in their Shenandoah Valley home.

This past week Betsy and Karl loaded little Mary and Danny and lots of gifts and goodies into the car and drove to spend the holidays with the Carlsons and Mrs. Filion in New York. In the spring they will go to Vermont to see Grandmother Filion and Aunt Julia and all the relatives there , they say.

Many Foreign Students Observing Christmas Here

By JERRY RAYNOR Reflector Staff U riter Whatever a persons nationality or religious affiliation. the time of year in which Christmas falls is for people in all corners of the earth a festive time For many, its a time to celebrate the birth of Christ, for others, a time to observe year end thanksgiving for the good fortunes of another >ear *

In Greenville, approximately 40 foreign students temporarily making their home here while they are students at East Carolina Iniversity will be observing Christmas in many different ways .A few, like Hector R Torres of Puerto Rico, will be going home for Christ mas, .Many will be spending the period with relatives living in other places in the I S,. or with American friends A few are married and will be at home" with their own family for the holidays.

Home to the two score young men and women ffrom other lands is Nigeria and Mexico. South Vietnam and Hong Kong. Iran and Spain, Colombia, India, France. Guatemala and Guayana. Thailand. Taiwan, Japan and Korea. Finland. Germany, and Canada "Its a changing situation." .Mrs Lucinda (Lucy) Wright. F'oreign Student Advisor at ECU said "Just now we have several Iranian students, and very few students from South America Until recently we had students from Peru. Bolivia, Ecuador and I'ruguay, and we expiect more from the South American countries soon.'

Mrs Wright, who teaches Spanish and Italian is now in her sixth year at East Carolina She has traveled in a number of countries and has lived in Spain and Columbia In her role of advisor, Mrs Wright helps the students in administratrative and personal matters, and also joins with them in happier events, such as their Christmas

party held Thursday night, December 19 in the first house they have had to use as an international house

Students Club Jamshid Jafari of Tehran. Iran, currently president of the International Students Club I actually officially the International Students Association but (he students from habit say club), spoke about the pleasure the students share in having a place of their own The reason the foreign students wanted a place is not to be separate, away from other people." he said. "With our own place we can invite Americans to visit us. to learn something about each other I want to say we invite anyone in the community to drop by to see us. This w ill always give us pleasure and I can guarantee any visitor will not be disappointed

The International Student Club is located at 306 East Ninth Street

Several of the students talked about plans for Christmas 1974 and mentioned rememberances of Christmases past in their native lands

Mehrshid .N'azmi Ansari Miss .Mehrshid Nazmi Ansari is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hassan Nazmi Ansari of Tehran, Irann. A senior majoring in institutional management, she transferred to ECU from Gard-ner-Webb College

.MEHRSHID .NAZMI ANSARI

In Iran our big celebration comes on March 21, our New Year." Miss Nazmi Ansari said. "But I like the idea of celebrating Christmas too. Its a beautiful time with friends and giving and getting gifts. Our .New Year decorations are entirely different from Christmas decorations. Its centered around seven symbolic items on a table, all beginning in our language with the letter S.

"Theres a flower, a special flower I cant think of the English name for it just now. Then we have a coin, a little red fish, somachi which is a spice, vinegar, an apple and garlic. Miss Nazmi Ansari will spend the Christmas holidays with two cousins living in Maryland. "Both are doctors, she said.

Fernando Crus One of the few married foreign students, Fernando Cruz of BogoU, Colombia lives with his wife Gloria in Goldsboro and commutes to Greenville each day. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jose Cruz and six brothers and sisters all live in Bogota.

Fernando wanted to talk about his plans for the future instead of Christmas customs which he said in his country are similar to Christmas celebrations in so many countries.

I have this definite plan, he said, "to go back to Columbia and build a big school to help all the needy children who do not have a chance to learn to write

and read. Because of conditions, I must start in Bogota, in a big city. Someday I hope to expand these efforts, to have such schools in the rural areas, all over the country. This is my dream, at Christmas and at all times of the year.

For Fernando, Christmas 1*74 has another special meaning. "My wife and I are pretty sure we have a little one on the way now," he smiled. "And we want it to be a boy

Brigitte Helms Blond Miss Brigitte Helms has lived in the U.S. longer than most of the foreign students now at ECU. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Helms, now live in Beaufort, where her father represents a veneer firm,

"I graduated from East Carteret High School in 1969, .Miss Helms said. Before that I lived in the African country of Liberia and Ive also lived in the Canary Islands, which belong to Spain.

So many of my Christmas rememberances are of different places and customs. But some things about Christmases in my home town of Lemgo, near Hannover in West Germany. I remember vividly.

"In my grandmothers house, we never got to see the Christmas tree until Christmas Eve. It was always in the parlor. The door was kept closed When the proper moment arrived, the children would all be led by the hand to see the tree. Waiting for this event, theres an excitement in first seeing the lights thats so different from seeing trees decorated weeks before Christmas.

"Then I remember real candles, lots of them, and Christmas music^ which was mostly church music and most often would be performed by childrens choirs.

Miss Helms is a business major and looks forward to using her three languages English, German and Spanish in some type of translation or

diplomatic service when she finishes school.

My home is in Asaba. Nigeria, on the banks of the River Niger that separates Nigeria into east and west.

Tony lichei said. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Benedict lichei, Tony worked two years after graduating from high school

before making a decision to enroll at ECU.

I chose ECU to find a good university in a small town. he

said. I think I made a good choice. Its more peaceful here than it is in Lagos, the capital of Nigeria, where I worked as a lab technician."

Christmas in Nigeria to me was a time to be with friends, in a group of people my own age. We use fireworks a great deal, and like to celebrate with music. One thing I always did at Christmas was to go to midnight mass

This is Tonys first year in the U.S. "In Nigeria, at Christmas, we always have our coldest weather, a strange weather because of the dry winds that blow from the Sahara at this time of year. The evenings are (Continued on pagei2)

Wrestlers Seek National Rank

By CHIP LAMBETH Reflector Sports Writer East Carolinas wrestling team has compiled one of the best if not THE best record n the country over the last three years not losing a match in that time. They have started out in a similar fashion but key if juries have made the ranks a little thin.

The Pirates have come off avery successful weekend at West Chester, Pa. where they won two dual matches beating Westchester and Cal Poly, the nth ranked college in the country. Cal Poly had beaten eighth-ranked Lehigh the day before the Pirates met them.

Through the first three dual meets, the Pirates have lived up to coach John Welboms ex

pectations. They have been winning, something that is customary, but in some weight classes they have had to limp along.

The Pirates were habdcapped at the outset having tw starters suffer injuries before the season started. Since then, there have been several other injuries, mostly to kneek and ankles that have thinned the Pirate ranks. While there are backups at most weights, they are shakey.

At 118 the Pirates have a defending conference champ in Jim Blair. Blair won the North Carolina Collegiate Championship this year for the second time, and won his third Thanksgiving Open. Behind

Blair is a freshman, Jeff Carter, a North Carolina state high school champ.

At 126, the Pirates have two outstanding wrestlers. Dan Monroe was injured last year so he was given another year of eligibility. "He is three times conference champ, N.C. champ, Wilkes Open champ and was the Maryland Federation Outstanding Wrestler, said

Welbom. Along with Monroe in this class is Paul Ketcham. He wrestled at 126 last year.

The Pirates are struggling at 134. They have four wrestlers hurt in this class but after Christmas, Welbom expects to have at least two of them back. Gay Scott, a freshman, has

ing Dumb Didn't Hurt Catfish Hunter

By Fred Rothenberg AP Sports Writer AHOSKIE, N.C. (AP) - The smartest thing Catfish Hunter ever did was play dumb in school. While his classmates were in the school lineup every !^\day. Hunter appeared on a less regular basis, sort of like a relief pitcher.

"I didnt care anything for schooi, Hunter said. "Id much rather go hunting or fishing.

He hasnt changed much. Now, hed much rather go hunting or fishing than negotiate. But for the possibility of becoming the highest paid player in baseball history, Hunter will hang up his gun and fishing pole for another week.

The Montreal Expos, the Atlanta Braves and the Minnesota

Twins were coming around today to give Hunter a lesson in multiyear contracts, tax shelters, deferred payments and the like.

His eighth grade teacher would be impressed.

"I was late for class one day, Catfish remembers, "and my teacher was waiting at the door when I came in. "Jim, why do you waste your time throwing baseballs, she asked me. You know your not going to make any money that way.

Theres a lesson in there somewhere because soon Catfish Hunter will sign a contract with one of 20 teams that is wooing him and, in doing so, prove to his eighth grade teacher there is a profit in throwing baseballs.

Jamesville Girls In Rough Cage Year

For

By CHIP LAMBETH Reflector Sports Writer (One of a series)

JAMESVILLE-Jamesvilles girls basketball team has only three wins to iook back on from the last two years of play and if they dont do something soon, they may be in for another long season.

The Lady Bullets were victorious in only one game last year. They have matched it this year recording a 1-5 record. But it is not all the Lady Bullets fault.

"Weve have some steel competition, said first year coach Patrice Britton. They have played Belhaven, Bath, Williamston and Gjocowinity all very tough teams. We have improved, said the coach.

The Lady Bullets have three returning seniors. The coach has had to use an inexperienced sophomore to help out. The three returnees are guard Donna Williams, Terry Hardison and Kitty Tetterton. Tempi Modlin, the sophomore, has been playing forward and Edith James, a

freshman has been playing at forward also.

The girls got off to a slow offensive start. Werere moving' the ball better and the scoring has increased, said Coach Britton. "Williams and James have long outside shots and can make them from outside. Jamesville uses a 2-1-2 with Modlin at center. She is just 5-7, short for a center and this is a problem for the rookie coach. One of our problems is no height, but weve been able to get the ball into her. The whole team is short.

Rebounding, as a result is off. Tetterton is a good rebounder, she was top rebounder the past two games, the coach said. It is one of our weaknesses.

One of the Lady Bullets strong points is their ability to move the ball. "They have been good at moving the ball around. 'They have worked on the full court and man-to-man press and they have woriced real well on this. Backing up at guard. Coach Britton had Betty Lou Davis and Debbie Williams and Debbie

Leggett who can play either guard or forward.

Defensively, the Lady Bullets run from a 3-2. lliey can switch into a2-l-2or a 2-3 if they need to. A defensive problem that will take playing time to correct is fouling, something the Jamesville girls have shown a tendancy to do. The coach says the way she is trying to correct the problem is to put the fouling player on the bench and let someone else play. "Im anxious to see how it will help, she said. Terry Hardison fouled out the past three games and had high fouls on other three girls.

Coach Britton feels that when the fouling problem clears up, the offense can start generating more steam and the defense gets more effective they will be able to perform better than in the last two years. "The offense had been much better in the last three games, she said.

For the Lady Bullets there is only one way they can go. They have been down leaving up the only direction for them.

NEW YORK (AP) Lawyers for the National Football League began mapping plans today to appeal the sweeping Joe Kapp court decision which called the NFLs reserve system "patently unreasonable. Also ruled illegal by a federal judge in San Francisco on Friday were the controversial "Rozelle Rule, the format of the college player draft, and portions of the standard player contract.

U.S. Dist. Court Judge WU-liam T. Sweigert, in his historic decision that rocked the very foundations of the NFL and perhaps ultimately all pro sports said that the Rozelle Rule, named for NFL Commissioner Pete Rozellle, violated antitrust laws because its conceivable effect would be to perpetually restrain a player from pursuing his occupation among the clubs of a league that holds a virtual monopoly on professional employment in the United States.

Rozelle, however, called the ruling "just one district judges opinion.

And over the weekend, he said NFL lawyers had in-

dica^ they did not hold with thejifUim by Kapps attorney, Moses Laskey, that the NFL could not appeal Sweigerts summary judgment and could only appeal after a trial that would determine the amount of damages.

Presumably, the NFL will seek a stay of Sweigerts decision so that the annual college draft can be conducted next month.

Kapp, a journeyman quarterback, retired rather that sign the standard NFL player contract which commits a player to the reserve system. He then filed suit, alleging that he was forced out of the league by an illegal boycott of the team owners, in .violation of the antitrust laws. Sweigert upheld the claim.

Kapp last played for the then-Boston Patriots in 1971.

in nearby Hertford, you wouldnt know that this man, the youngest of ten children, was about to become a millionaire.

By becoming a free agent. Hunters value has certainly gone up, but his values have remained the same.

"Ive been in baseball a long time, said Peter Bavasi, vice president and general manager of the San Diego Padres, one of 13 teams to have thus far negotiated with Hunter for the purpose of signing him to a contract.

"So many players attain success, then immediately change as people. They dont want to go home again, Bavasi said.

But Jim Hunter isnt like that at all. Hes a man who hasnt lost his appreciation for his friends or.for his home. Its all very touching. Heres a man who is being offered the world, and all he really wants for himself is to be able to hunt and fish and to be able to provide education and lifetime security for his kids,

"Hes still the same guy he always was, Bavasi said. "Success has not spoiled Jim Hunter.

entered one tournament this year but had missed the other three because of an injury. Tim Gagan, a sophomore has been out after having his thumb operated on. "He could easily be a starter, said Welborn. Gagan is expected back after the holidays.

At 150, Welbom has a very promising freshman. Paul Thorp took a second in the Thanksgiving tournament and a first in the NCCWT. Hes having an outstanding year. He sould be agreat one. Backing up Thorp is Steve Satterwaite.

The freshmen are abundant in the starting lineup and the 158 class is no exception. Wrestling here is Roger Burns. Roger is a freshman and is starting to come on, he hasnt placed yet. He looked real good 1 the trip up north, said Welborn. Backing up the class is Phil Mueller, a transfer who had good intelligence.

One of East Carolinas best wrestlers is at 167. Ron Whit-combe, voted the best Wrestler in North Carolina, has won the Thanksgiving Open, the NCC for the third time and beat the college division national champion in the class, Giff Hatch of Cal Poly. Monroe is one of the teams captains.

Also at 167 is Ron Jerome. He has a third and a second place to his credit this season but is currently out with a knee injury. He should be back soon.

Welbom had three wrestlers at 177. Jim Cox, a senior took a first in the N.C. Collegiates. The other two grapplers are injured but will give the Piraes a boost in this division when they get back. They are Jud Larrimore and Rick Yeager.

Mike Radford, at 198, is a defending Conference champ. He won his second N.C. Collegiate tournament thisyear. Behind him is sophomore John Williams.

Willie Bryant at heavyweight, is also a defending SC champ.

The Pirates have good depth but most of is is on the injured list. We have two potential starters who were out before the season started. If we get these people back, we should have good depth, said Welbom.

I tickled with the results, Welbom said. "We lost some of our outstanding wrestlers, from last year. The Pirates graduated Bill Hill, Milt Sherman and Bruce Hall.

Welbome expects to get his toughest competition from William & Mary. They are the strongest they have abeen in years, he said, They will make a rim at us.

Mixed Memories For Press

BOONE, N.C. (AP) - The hair is graying, the lines around the eyes deeper, but the eyes still twinkle with amusement when he reflects on a career that saw him play professional basketball before World War II and serve as a coach since 1946.

For Press Maravich of Appalachian State University, the memories are bittersweet.

The game of basketball is not the same anymore," Maravich says. Coaches used to be close friends win or lose. Now coaching is a lonely business When I was in the Atlantic

Coast Conference the kids were different and the coaches were closer.

"There was Bud Milliken at Maryland, Everett Case at North Carolina State, Bones McKinney at Wake Forest, Bill McCann at Virginia, Frank McGuire at North Carolina and Harold Bradley or Vic Bubas at Duke, When we used to play on the road I was always invited to my opponents house. I used to ^isit with McCann and we Wbuld sit down with a cup of coffee and visit until midnight, talking about basketball and meeting his family. Now, there

is too much pressure from the fans for that."

The man who won an Atlantic Coast Conference championship at North Carolina State and went to the ACC finals three times in 10 years remembers the players.

George Krajack played for me at Gem^on and now lives in Charlotte as does Bobby Benson and Jim Brennan. These were the great players who have made something of themselves. Pete Coker who ployed for me at N.C. State is doing well and Choppy Patterson is a lawyer in Greenville, S.C. Russ Bergman who played for me at LSU is my assistant at Appalachian State. I am proud of these guys and others who have played for me because they have made something of themselves. What difference does it make how many games a coach wins in the long run? He has to contribute something to society.

The Maravich sense of humor is as sharp as ever as he reminisces with ease.

During the recent meeting of the Southern Conference in Lexington, Va the application of Western Carolina University was received by the league.

During the past two years, the league has been

While I was coaching at Clemson we lost a close game to Furman and I was hanged ih effigy on the campus," he re

calls. I guess I was the first Yankee ever hanged in effigy in the South. All the others were for real. Before Coach Case died he told me to always say Hi, Chief when I passed his grave or he would come back to haunt me. I didnt want that, so when I was at State ev-erytime we would go to play Duke I would say hello to the Chief when we passed the cemetery.

His collegiate playing days hold special memories too.

At Davis and Elkins we had no money in the athletic budget so I would slip off on the weekends and play pro ball under an assumed name. I would come back and feed the basketball team with my pay.

Once it almost got me in trouble. I had played a game for the Clarksburg Prue Oilers against the Rochester Royals and the New York Wrens and made about $200.

On the following Monday night, we were playing LaSalle and the same official who had done the pro games that weekend was calling our game. When I took the floor I was shaking and he asked me had ever seen me play before. I

played dumb and denied every-Uiing. He said he had seen a guard play during Uie weekend that looked just like me. He asked me about the Royals and I told him I had never heard of

else until sometime during the football. Other col- assistant and service bureau di-

by severaJ items. First Davidson gave up ahy pretenses of having a major college football

program, and one wonders just how long the sport will last at the school in its present form. One thing is certain, the schools that Davidson continues to play within the conference, have a step up on the rest, and an easier road to the championship.

At the last meeting, Davidson said it wanted one more year to study its situation in the conference. So, by this time next year, it may not be a member of the league, since there are those who want them to field a football teama real oneor get out.

William & Mary also went through a crises period late this year. There is a faction on the Williamsburg campus which wants athletics degraded to a near-intramural program status. They nearly succeed^ in getting this pushed through.

However, the college did give the athletic department four years in which to make the program self-sufficient. And one wonders whether this can be achieved. William & Mary is not the cheapest school to attend and grants-in^iid are CMtly. For the Indians to have a big-time program with the full football scholarship limit, plus finance the other sports, it is going to be an uphill battle.

So where is the conference going?

During the past 10 years since East Carolina ente^ the league, there have been problems. First Virginia Tech, withdrew, seeking a higher status, one they have not yet attained. Then, West Virginia withdrew, also looking for better things-^hich also have not been attained. Now, they have entered a ^ loose configuration of schools which hope to have some sort of conference. In it, they may have gone from being a big frog in a lite pond to being a little frog in a bigger one.

George Washington also withdrew, dropping football to concentrate on basketballbut it hasnt worked. ^

Perhaps what the Southern Conference needs isnt a new member, but a completely new makup. There are some schools in the conference which want to major schools and there are some which would rather be smaller.

We oppose the membership of Western Carolina. We do not feel that it will serve the best interests of the conference to include them. It is another step backwards to some intents. Western is too isolated

for conference play. Its overall status is questionable.

What the conference needs to do is insist that every member play the others in football, and that a double round-robin be installed in basketball. Lets make it a true conference, not one where one team plays as many at home and as few on the road as possible.

Otherwise, let us take some of the more progressive members, such as East Carolina, Richmond, Furman, and a few othersdepending on how they see their future, and seek out some others with the same ideas, and form a new loop.

Or lets put the money into the East Carolina program, and give it the leadership it needs to make Dr. Leo Jenkins goal of ACC membership a reality.

all our sporting friendschcry wishes for a merry holiday season. Accept our thanks.

The same man who coached his son Pistol Pete at LSU when the prodigy set all NCAA scoring records once cut a player named Otto Graham from a naval base team he _ coached in Florida.

When the war was over and I was playing pro ball again we played against one another and I told him that after the game we had a lot to talk about. He was an All-American at Northwestern but wasnt very interested in basketball in the Navy. But thats another story.

I have so many memories of so many people like Johnny Wooden who has always been great to me. But those days are gone and the game is different."

Greenville Swimmers Roll Past Seybo/o

leges and universities are curtailing non-revenue producting sports such as track, tennis and wresUing.

But across the sports-minded Carolinas, only a few cutbacks have been implemented or are being considered because of spiraling inflation.

Athletic directors in the two states generally agree inflation is the most serious threat to collegiate sports today.

We have not made any cuts and dont anticipate making any, said Homer Rice, athletic director of the University of North Carolina. His comments were typical of most of those interviewed. We are all going to have to tighten our belts. We are caught in the recession like anybody else.

Athletic Director Harold Bo Hagen of South Carolina also said no cutbacks are planned, but he added, Title Nine looms as a crisis on the horizon. If we had to have equal expenses for women, we would have a severe problem. We would have to curtail our mens program, Hagen said to maintain a year-to-year

Cobb,

rector of the Atlantic Coast Conference, said he knew of no planned cutbacks among the seven ACC members. Inflation is a big concern of everybody. Im sure our schools have tried to hold the line pretty well. he said.

As a conference we are as strong as any conference in the country, Francis said. Despite inflation or depression or whatever you want to call it our football teams enjoyed the best attendance this season in history. We got three football teams in bowl games which is going to bring in about $550,(X)0 to the conference.

'Hie smaller colleges may feel the financial pinch first and hardest.

Newberry is considering rejoining the Carolinas Conference, which would mean cutting the number of football scholarships from 26 to 18-20. School officials also have reduced the size of traveling squad& in all sports and are carefully scrutinizing the purchase ofMuipment.

S.S. Wilson of Elon

said, With the entire national economy going like it is, we will begin seeing the pinch. The big thing is that weve been winning in every sport and that makes a difference. I wouldnt be surprised if we would have to curtail the minor sports, maybe track, tennis or wrestling.

Athletic directors at Gemson, Furman and Wake Forest report they are watching their spending and awaiting the Title IX guidelines, which will be handed down by the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare next year.

Meanwhile, Furman is already under orders to cut spending by six per cent in all departments, including sports, for the remainder of the current fiscal year.

In other states, some have suggested returning to one-platoon football to reduce scholarships.

Six teams placed players on the annual Daily Reflector All-Area Football Team, which is announced today.

Dominating the team is Rose High Schools 4-A playoff entry, which landed eight men on the 24-man slate. Farmville Central, which won the 3-A Elastern Carolina Conferences second playoff berth, along with always tough Ayden-Grifton, each placed five.

State 2-A runner-up Roberson ville picked up four places, while Greene Central and D.H. Conley each landed one.

Even then, the decisions, based on recommendations by the area coaches, were h^rd to make by the Reflector Sports Staff. Many times it was difficult to leave off one in place of another. And in a couple of cases, some people picked for one position could, and have, played in others.

For instance, take our placekicker Jeff Hagans of Rose. His ki<ing' record for the year made his the choice for this position, but at the same time, he was an outstanding player

both on offense and defense. He could have been named to both of these other positions also.

Joining the team from Rose, along with Hagans are offensive tackle Ron Hunt, backs Doug Paschal and Lindberg Morris, defensive end Ropald Randolph, defensive tackle Danny Harrington, linebacker Mike Brewington, and defensive back Macon Moye.

From Ayden-Grifton come wide receiver Paul Ricciarelli, tight end Vem Davenport, offensive tackle Mike Teachey, center Eddie Taylor andj defensive back Twendie Simpson.

Farmville Central places offensive guard Bynum Satterwhite, defensive end Wardell Blow, defensive tackle Jerry Flanagan, defensive back JoJo* White, and punter Wardell Blow.

Robersonvilles entries include offensive guard Noah Clark, quarterback Jimmy Stalls, back Ricky Spruill and linebacker Tony Purvis.

Greene Central landed middle guard Doq^d Moye, whUe D.H. Conley sent linebacker Keith Gould

The Offense

Handling the receiving duties are a pair of Ayden-Grifton Chargers, wide receiver Paul Ricciarelli and tight end Vern Davenport. Ricciarelli, an All-E^astem Carolina selection, led the league in receiving with 25 catches for 540 yards and six touchdowns. Davenport, who was third In the loop, pulled In 23 for 403 yards, and also made the All-Conference team. He is also rated as a good blocker.

In the interior line are tackles Ron Hunt of Rose and Mike Teachey of Ayden-Grifton: guards Noah Gark of Rober-sonville and Bynum Satterwhite of Rarmville Central, and center Eddie Taylor of Ayden-Grifton

Hunt, al All-Conference selection, played both ways, and was one of the strongest men on the Rampant team. Teachey, the lone freshman on the team was touted by Coach Mike Overton as being the best freshman prospect hes ever had.

Clark, listed by Coach Noland Respess as a true college prospect after next years senior season, also was a two-way player. (Several college coaches

have already joined Respess in Garks praise.) Satterwhite, All-Eastern Carolina, had to switch from tackle at mid-year, and provided the Farmville line with the punch it needed.

Taylor, the center, is praised by Overton as the best Ive had at Ayden-Grifton.

Quarterbacking the team is Jimmy Stalls, who led Robersonville to the sute 2-A finals.

His value is not so much in his sUtistics, Respess said. Of course, he can pass and he can run. But its his leadership that really makes his the tops. We agree.

The backfield is composed of a team to make a wishbone coach drool. At the fullback slot is hard-running Doug Paschal of Rose, who ground out 1,017 yards in the ten games he played for

the Rampants (missing one with the flu). Nearly all of his yardage was right through the-middle of the linethe hardest place to get it

Flanking him are two speedsters, Lindberg Morris, who played by him all year, scoring 54 points and picking up 857 yards, and Ricky Spruill of Robersonville. Spruilll running, which added up to over 1,400 yards this year, and a fancy 9.5 yard per carry average was best around the area. He added 20 touchdowns to the Robersonville toUl.

Rounding out the offense is placekicker Jeff Hagans of Rose. He booted through 18 of 20 attempU, and made good on one field goal, while also playing offensive guard and linebacker.

The Defense

Defensive ends for the team are Ronald Randolph of Rose and Wardell Blow of Farmville Central. Randolph provided 36 massisted Uckles and played an outstanding season, Rose Coach Dave Bumgarner said. Blow, who has good speed and quickness, was always aroimd the ball according to Ck>ach Gene

Brewer He turned in (wo real good years for us at that position."

Danny Harrington an(j Jerry Flanagan, of Rose and Farmville. respectively, handle the tackle positions. Harrington was a fine defender for us." Bumgarner said, listing 25 unassisted tackles for him. Flanagan, a good hitter, showed a lot of improvement as the year went along, and did a real fine job for us, Overton said.

Donald Maye of Greene Central, is the middle guard. He was all-conference, and one of our leaders, Coach Stewart Smith said. He had 47 unassisted tackles and was one of our brightest defensive spots."

The linebacking crew of Mike Brewington of Rose, Tony Purvis of Robersonville, and Keith (}ould of Conley show great credentials, too. Brewington listed 96 tackles all by himself and was a terror to opposing runners and quarterbacks. Just a junior, he already has a number of college scouts hooking his way.

Purvis and Gould also bring fine talents to the position." Tony was the best linebacker Ive had at Robersonville, Respess said. He averaged nine to ten tackles a game, and I think he was the best in the conference Gould, a two-year All-Conference selection at Conley, also added All-East honors. He recoverednine fumbles, picked off three passes and gathered in 142 tackles.

The backfield consists of Rose Highs Macon Moye. Ayden-Griftons Twendie Sintpson, and Farmvilles JoJo White Moye, who had 27 tackles, also had three interceptions for 63 yards, and made a number of saves on long passes or nins. Simpson is called the best all-around defensive back in the ECC by Overton. And White was an aggressive hitter, sparking the Jaguar defensive backfield.

Rounding out the team is punter Tony Oakley of Farmville Central. He averaged 34 yards a kick for the Jaguars, and could back-up Hagans at placekicker. too. A backup for Oakley, too, could be Moye, the Rampant kicker.

when church attendance among young persons of both major religious groups is analyzed by educational background.

Young Protestants who have a college background are only slightly more likely to attend church than are young Protestants who have not had colP ^e traihing. On the other hand, young , Catholics with a college background are far more likely to attend church than are young Catholics who have not ^Hended college.

These findings emerge from annual Gallup audits of church attendance. To estimate the average attendance during 1974, surveys of representative samples of the adult population were made in selected weeks during the year to account for seasonal fluctuations. A total of 6,281 people, 18 and older, were interviewed in person in more than 300 scientifically selected sampling localities. This question was asked:

Did you yourself happen to attend church or

and older. To a lesser degree, women are somewhat more likely to attend church in a given week than are men.

Further analysis of the findings reveals other differences in terms of backgrond characteristics, including the following:

X Churchgoing is less frequent in the Far West than in other major regions among persons of both faiths.

X Married persons of both faiths have a better attendance record than do sin^e persons.

The International Bridge Press Associations award for reporting the best hand of 1973 was presented to Jose Le D6ntu, brilliant bridge columnist for the Parisian daily Le Figaro. This is the hand, and it features superb deceptive play and card reading by the declarer, 70-year-old Addo Eichel.

Against his four spade contract. West led the jack of hearts, and in view of Easts preempt, * declarer was sure that it was a singleton. However, Eichel decided that his best chance lay in convincing East that it was he who held only one

heart, so he played low from dummy and won with the ace. just as if it was bare. He was apparently sacrificing a heart trick, but it was to come back later with interest.

At trick two declarer took a losing spade finesse. East won and, convinced that West, not South, held the ten of hearts, shifted to the ten of diamonds. Declarer won in his hand, cashed the , jack of trumps and entered dummy with the ace. in the process drawing the defenders' trumps. Then, he led a low heart from dummy.

Who can blame East for falling for the trap baited so carefully? He followed with a low heart and declarer's ten won! Two rounds of trumps, followed by a diamond to the ace, reduced the hand to this position:

EAST

At this point declarer had lost only one trickthe king of trumps. Now the queen of hearts was led to throw East on play. East took his king and could cash his long heart, but then he had to lead into dummys club tenace, allowing declarer to score two club tricks for his contract.

part, tend to denounce McGoverns people as Ueeding hearts, do-gooders, and gauzy dreamers. This gets us nowhere.

My brother conservatives, if they would be worthy of the name, cannot let themselves be identified with the short haul only. If our function is not to conserve, what. then, is our function? We are often accused of looking too much to history, to what is past. We ought to welcome a charge that we look also to histor> yet unwritten, to what will be.

Our little winding countr\ road offers an example of all those bogus improvements that are destructive to nogood end. The strip mining bill and the moratorium on automobile requirements are examples of the grey area in which men of goodwill must seek fair compromise. Looking to the short haul, we must insure economic survival.'Looking to the long haul, we cannot afford to lose the momentum toward clean air, clean water, and the preservation of a livable land.

A sensible strip mining bill ought to be enacted; we need it for the long haul The automobile industry must be protected form further oh sessive demands by over-zealous environmentalists and safety fanatics The industry desperately needs short-haul relief. And men of goodwill everywhere owe it to generations past, and to generations future, to think harder on the need for conserving this planet. If is. after all, the only planet we have.

Late Santa Note For TV Viewers

By JAY SHARBUTT AP Television Writer

NEW YORK (AP) - Dear Santa: I know it is Cliristmas Eve and you are a mite busy, but Id like to get in some last-minute requests for me and my fellow television viewers.

So please:

Take away Kojaks lollipop, because nobody can understand him when hes chewing on it.

Give Archie Bunker a lollipop so nobody can understand him when hes chewing on it.

Give Upstairs, Downstairs an escalator clause.

Make the local newscaster write a 10,(KX)-word essay on why he should never say well have more news in a moment after a four-minute film story about the Bulgaria Day parade downtown.

Make network correspondents write a 5,(X)0-word essay on why they should never say, No one here really knows, or, No exact estimate can ever be made or What all this means is ...

Have Eric Sevareid come on one night and say, I really dont know what to make of it.

Make Matthew, my youngest nephew, write a 1,000-word essay on why he is late handing in his 500-word essay on why programs should be banned from all childrens commercials on TV. Yes, thats right.

Make the guys in Movin On put the truck in reverse while going forward at 90 miles an hour. It might cut fuel consumption.

Ban all pro football games from TV for a year. If you cant do that, at least get rid of

the commentators for a year and just play The Nutcracker Suite during the action.

Dont give Cher Bono an identical twin, because her new show would become a case of Cher and Cher alike.

Hopefully, make interviewers ask NBCs Edwin Newman viable questions so as to get optimum input on the thrust of his new book, Strictly Speaking: Will America Be the. Death of English?

Give Kung Fu a new kung to hang over his door. After all, not everyone is worth a kungs transom.

'- Daily Reflector. Greenville. N.C.-Tuetday. December 24. 197413

The networks are taking little note of Christmas until late tonight, when CBS shows a Christmas celebration by Benedictine monks in Vermont, NBC presents a Christmas service from the Vatican and ABC airs a holiday show, taped last week at the Rockefeller Center ice-skating rink and hosted by former Fun City mayor John Lindsay.

On Christmas Day, be sure the whole family watches CBS repeat of Dylan 'Thomas classic A Childs Christmas in Wales, performed by the National Theater of the Deaf and narrated by Michael Redgrave.

Although the show is scheduled at what may be a bah humbug time for many families 3:30 p.m. EST halt everything and watch it anyway. Its a Christmas gift everyone will enjoy.

Women Taking Patrol Tests

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP)

The California Highway Patrol has disclosed that 176 women have started taking the grueling patrol tests which, if they pass, would make them

eligible for CHP duty.

The group is part of a two-year experiment to determine if women can handle highway patrol work. They are not being given the same physical performance test used on men.

With the help of a University of California physical education specialist, new tests considered suitable for women were de

force each Christmas season since the town was captured In the 1967 Mideast war. In background at right is Church of the Nativity. (AP Wirephoto)

vised.

Some of the CHP female candidates dropped out due to physical exhaustion. Another 29 flunked out. :

Those who pa^ the prelimi-l nary tests must then go| through 16 weeks of intensive training at the CHP Academy, an experience likened to army boot camp. Only about 50 per cent of the men who attend the academy pass.

POPE'S YULE H^SWRVCTIONS

Pope Gregory I in his instructions to missionaries on Christmas festivities sent out from Rome in the year 601: The people , should celebrate a religious feast and worship God by their feasting, so that still keeping outward pleasures, they may more readily receive spiritual joys.

FantiTliis

By Dr. J. W. Pou Agricultural Spaclallst Wachovia Bank A Tniat Co., N Ji.

Farmers and ranchers have been storing a lot of beef on the hoof. This is important to cattle producers and feeders, and to consumers. The buildup of cattle herds was confirmed by the recent U. S. Department of Agriculture survey to determine the number of cattle and calves on farms and ranches. The number on hand was estimated at 138.3 million 7.4 million more than one year before. The Department also estimated the 1974 calf crop at 51 million, a new record. This is nearly 2 iillion more than last year, and 3.3 million more than two years ago.

Cattlemen have been increasing their herds at an accelerating rate for five years. During that time they have added about 20 million cattle and calves on their ranches and farms. It appears now that the buildup will end, and that will start a domino action. Prices have to be reduced substantially to sell the larger volume of young cattle. Prices will decline to a level that will be attractive to cattle feeders, and probably to packers. Feeder cattle prices will also be under pressure because of the very high costs of feed.

Cattle producers, especially those who depend on cbttle for a large part of their income, will be placed un^er consiiierable financial strain. If cattle feeders caB buy their replacements cheap enough, they will be able to make some profit.

Expansion rather than reduction of beef cow herds is being suggested to Tar Heel farmers as the alternative for best long-term results during the current period of high feed costs and depressed feeder cattle prices.

Many feeder animals generally in the 300- to 500-pound weight range are markted in the fall. Because of the high cost of feed to grow these animals to slaughter weights, prices were down sharply this year from last fall.

North Carolina State University extension beef cattle specialists suggest that the farmer who takes this market downturn as a signal to cut production may be making a bad long-term decision.

Expansion, based on available feed supplies on individual farms, is the better course.

Nationwide, herd sizes are likely to be reduced, resulting in fewer calves going to market during the next few years. This could be expected to drive feeder prices back up in the future. If farmers reduce the size of their breeding herds now, they wont have the calves to sell on these anticipated strong markets.

The N. C. State University specialists view the current period of lower feeder calf prices as a good time to buy g(x>d choice grading heifers to be raised as brood cows.

They are also suggesting to producers that they consider culling poor performing brood cows and replacing them with heifer calves from the best cows in their herds. Any cow in the herd that is producing a 300-pound or smaller calf at weaning should be culled, the specialists suggest.

Civic And Fraternal Groups Again Help Fill Need

Ry TOM BAINES anH h4>lnOft urith th* IrAttiA oIaa __1... . . .. .. *

By TOM BAINES Refieclor Staff Writer

Local civic and fraternal organizations traditionally go beyond the call of duty in providing assistance to in-^ dividuals and families in need and this Christmas season was no exception.

Many of the organizations chose to help the needy through donations to the Salvation Army and by assisting the service group with its solicitation activities.

The Junior Womens Club here offered its services for a full day in assisting the Salvation Army effort by manning the collection kettles at Pitt Plaza and downtown. The club also sponsored a family through the Department of Social Services, providing food for Christmas. Members of the organization gave a Christmas party for the girls dorm at Caswell Center in Kinston.

In addition to buying clothes for two boys at Boys Home. Lake Waccamaw, the local Optimist Club made a $100 donation to the Salvation Army

and helped with the kettle program at a Greenville shopping center. The club also held its annual Christmas Tree sale with all funds going to youth work and the Optimists joined Nichols Discount City in paying the tuition for a first grade child to the East Carolina University remedial training^rogram.

'The wives of the Optimists, as members of the Opti-Mrs. aub, helped a needy mother and her child at Christmas, providing them clothes, food and gifts, as well as a Christmas tree to rbrighten their home The wives also provided gifts for Operation Santa Claus through the Pitt County Mental Health Association.

The Salvation Army received assistance from the Pilot Gub this year in the way of a donation to the Salvation Army Christmas Fund and through help with the kettle program.

Again, Year Sees 'Favorites' In Toy Departments

By STl'ART SAVAGE Reflector Staff Writer

Its Christmas time, and as always, mothers and fathers and friends have been visiting local stores, buying toys, bicycles and even motor-bikes for those special people on their gift list.

The best thing on the market today. one Roses store official said, are the Evel Knievel things. ... from models, down to the canyon cycle.

He noted, were sold out of Evel Knievel . . . the manufacturer couldnt produce enough of them ... they go out the day they came in, almost.

And as an off shoot of the Evel Knievel craze, any type of motor cycle or rocket ship toy sold good a carry over since we were out of Knievel toys, he noted.

The strongest selling dolls, most toy departments reported, -were the Baby Alive dolls ... the second year on the market for them, with a new doll, Rub-A-Dub Dolly, also selling strong.

As with Evel Knievel toys, most local stores havent been able to keep Baby Alive on their shelves.

Sit n Spin, a new toy (you sit down on it and spin around and

around) was pretty big with stocks of those also being sold out, at Roses.

Although Roses officials explained, the majority of all toys sold good . . . were just about all sold out..they noted no wheel toy really made it big this year ... bicycles have not been doing what was expected. Were selling them, but I think production has caught up with the demand.

At Penneys, a store official said Evel Knievel toys were completely sold out in October, and noted that Baby Alive also disappeared from their shelves early.

Toys on hand last week, such as Kathy (Juick Curls (a doll), Kamp Put-Put (a train by Matel), NERF footballs and all Tonka trucks were selling well.

There is not much of a trend away from expensive toys, the official noted. Although more (shoppers) come in knowing what exactly they want when they come in. Instead of looking, this year, they come in knowing exactly what they are wanting. Clarks last week had a few Baby Alives left, but they were going fast. Evel Knievel had, like at other stores, left their shelves, but Weavils West was

going strong.

Johns Bicycle Shop said their sales are down in Greenville from last year, but up at the firms store in Wilson.

The shop in Wilson is more of a family store, officials explaining the difference noted. We deal with the college more here. Students might not have the money right now.

Last year, they said, the gat shortage helped sales. Now there is plenty of gas, but lees money available.

Officials at Suttons Service Center, another large local bicycle outlet repoi;ted their November sales were off about $3,000 some 25 bicycles but that business so far this month has been about the same as December 1973.

I would think that the" economy would have an effect, a spokesman said, but the sale of bicycles is bound to reach the saturation point eventually.

He noted that many adults are purchasing bicycles because of the health aspect, and that although November sales were down, this year will run close to last year, in overall business.

The sale of small motor-cycles has been good, but according to' officials at Stans Sports Center,

big bike sales have been way off.

"Its just like the car business, big bikes are way off. One big problem is money.

He explained that mostly.

our Christmas business is for kids under 16 . . . from 8 to 14. That has been good, although not quite as good as last year, noting that the under-16 age

the-road riding.

About 90 per cent of our business right now is for the 8 to 14 year old bracket . . . $279 to $600 or $700 bikes $500 being a

group gets small bikes for off-_ good average sale.

At Iron Horse Suzuki, another motorcycle shop here, the story is about the same.

Store officials said they were selling quite a few bikes for younger children, with prices ranging from $452 to about $725 The spokesman said fathers are buying bikes big enough so next year, when they get their licehses, they wont have to buy a car for their children.

Big bikes are selling fair, he noted.

ST. NICK RESTORED When Queen Victoria married German Prince AI-bert,< Christmas visits of St. Nicholas (aYfd.the gift-giving) came back to England, three centuries after Henry VIII had banned the traditions when he broke away from the Catholic faith and formed the Church of England.

Check Fuel And I Tire Economy

PITTSBURGH (UPI) - Persons planning to purchase a new or used car should check on fuel economy and tire durability first.

Fuel economy is important because of high gasoline prices and because of the energy shortage.

Tire durability is important because of rising tire prices and because of safety. Motorists should purchase tires from a reputable dealer.

Also the Tire Industry Safety Council warns that a car equipped with radial tires on the front should have radial snow tires on the rear.

WRIGHT FLIGHT

AUSTIN. Tex. (UPI) Texas first military airplane flight was in 1910 and was made in a Wright Brothers-built t plane.

By GORDON F. JOSELOFF MOSCOW (UPI) - The Soviet Union is stepping up efforts to protect its polar bear population.

Soviet scientists believe there are no more than 10,000 polar bears in the world, about half of them in the Arctic area of the Soviet Union.

Protection of the polar bear has been taken over by the ministry oi agriculture, according to the Tass news agency. ITie ministry will implement an international agreement on preserving polar bears signed last year by Canada, Denmark, Norway, the Soviet Union and the United States.

Hunting of polar bears in the Soviet Union has been prohibited since 1956. A state preserve has been established on Wran-gel Island, between the eastern Siberian Sea and the Chukchi Sea of the Khabarovsk territory.

In addition to polar bears, the barren, frozen, rocky island is a breeding ground for polar foxes, seals, lemmings and other creatures.

A survey of the Arctic areas has shown that there are 270 square miles ice-covered land for every polar bear.

According to scientists, the migration of polar bears over such vast areas often means that male and female bears never meet, reducing reproduction. They are seeking ways to insure that more bears remain together.

Measures already taken to protect the polar bear population have doubled the number of animals. Tass said. About 200 dens are discovered annually on Wrangel Island.

The polar bear has a thick white or creamy coat, black tongue and relatively small head and neck. It is a strong swimmer and its hairy soles make it easier to walk on ice.

Its diet is mostly fish, seal and

other meat.

It is a popular animal with the Soviets. A well known Soviet song praises the polar bear for working hard turning the axis of the globe.

A polar bear on an ice floe is pictured on the wrapper of a popular candy, 100,000 pieces of which are turned out daily by a Moscow factory, according to Tass.

The agency said if the polar bear should disappear, the Arctic could stqj being the Arctic, at least in name. The word arctic comes frwn the Greek arctos, which means bear.

Too Many Foil To Read Labels

NEW YORK (UPI) - Millions of Americans who buy over-the-counter drugs dont read the labels, reports The National Enquirer. And hun-Idreds of thousands wind up in hospitals as a result.

We polled 10,000 people who bought nonprescription drugs and a startling 85 per cent said they didnt read the label, said 'Sal J. Rubino, executive secretary of the New York State jPharmaceutical Society.

Many widely used over-the-counter remedies contain ingredients that can aggravate other ailments the user may have or clash with other medicine he is taking, Rubino explained.

Carols First

From Italy.

KANSAS CITY (AP)-Christmas carols were first sung in 13th<entury Italy, then taken to Spain, France. Germany and finally to England by wandering musicians who sang between the acts of miracle plays, according to Hallmark researcher Sally Hopkins.

One of the earliest English carols is God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen," which dates back to the 15005. "While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night was written in 1703 and set to a tune from a Handel opera. One of the worlds best-known carols, "Silent Night. Holy Night." was written by Pastor Joseph Mohr of Obem-dorf, Austria, on Christmas Eve 1818. The melody was composed that same evening by Franz Gruber, an organist and schoolmaster. Carols written in the United States, reports Miss Hopkins, include O Little Town of Bethlehem (1868). "We Three Kings of Orient Are" (1863) and "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear.

The Confined Havent Been Forgotten

By CAROLTVER Reflector Staff Writer

"Tis the season to be jolly even if youre not but and going where you please for the holidays, say officials of several institutions in Greenville where people will be confined They and benevolent townspeople wiil be doing what they can to make Christmas happy in their respective places.

Hospital

The population of Pitt Memorial Hospital usually drops more than a third during Christmas, Director of Nursing Jean Owens says.

Last year our census was down to about 130 Christmas Day, she said And we hope it will be just as low, if not lower, this year. No one wants to be in the hospital for Christmas, and only the very sickest or most badly injured patients are. No elective operations are scheduled during this time, which is one reason the count is so low.

Hospital employees, of course, must work throughout Christmas, with rotation practiced to allow ones who worked last year not to have to this year, insofar as it is possible. The employees had their annual Christmas party last Thursday, with two parties being held, as is usual-one from 2 to 4 p.m. to allow persons on the 7 to 3 and the 3 to 11 shifts to attend just after and just before their days work is done; and the other just before the 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift.

The employees of each ward and department decorate their areas for Christmas to cheer their patients and patients families. They compete among themselves for fir best decorations prize that is given at the party. The Greenville Service League decorates the lobbies and other public areas of the hospital. Favors are provided on patients trays by various organizations.

Nursing Home

According to George Wils^^ Director of the Greenville Nursing Center, many sin^g groups have delighted the patients during the holiday season and worship and caroling services have been held practically every night.

Communion will be held Christmas Day and this afternoon there will be a gala party, with Santa Claus expected to pay a visit. Many youth groups have paid visits and brought gifts for the 150 patients. Its been wonderful the way Pitt Countians have turned out to make Christmas happy here, he said. We really appreciate it.

He said there would be a delicious special dinner prepared tomorrow and that any patient's family who would like to eat there should let him know so extra portions could be prepared. We encourage their sharing Christmas dinner with their loved one here, he said.

Jones ARC

A W.C. Fields film festival will be held during the Christmas Eve party at the Jones Alcoholic Rehabilitation Center tonight. Most of the clients wont be here, Activities director Rose Ann McGinnis said. They will be enjoying a two-day pass at home, having left this morning and coming back Christmas night. The Alumni Association of the Center and local Alcoholics Anonymous members are donating presents, and therell be a tree and refreshments Also, the cafeteria will go all out to prepare a dinner Christmas Day thats much fancier than usual.

Jail

Deputy ^heriff William Jefferson said persons in the Pitt County Jail Christmas Day will be served a turkey dinner with all the trimmings, and will be given a little fruit and candy in honor of the Day, also. The desk will have a Christmas tree, he said. "Sometimes some of the churches or clubs do a little something for the prisoners, too, he said. Last year some Carolers came down to see them. I hope someone will remember them this year."

ASS ESSENTIAL TO Ef FRY DOMAIN

Although the ass. such as the one ridden by Mary, is sometimes described as a lowly beast,

fit for those of humble station, there is consid

erable evidence that the docilr and useful ass was ridden by many rich

and prestiqiouj pet as well as the poor, the

Bible often mentions the ass as a common part of many households.

Christmas Season Started Early In City Schools

n/ IITDDV D A VIbJrkD

By JERRY RAYNOR Reflector Staff Writer

Christmas celebrations in the local city schools this year were in many ways similar to school celebrations in past years, with children enjoying the exciting events and helping to make the atmosphere seasonally festive with hand made decorjitions for trees, hallway bulletin boards and in classrooms.

For some of the schools, the first Christmas activity, as in years past began a month ahead of Christmas, when collections

of canned goods were made through the White Christmas program. These collections were turned over to Charity organizations in Greenville to be distributed to needy persons (hiring the holdidays.

A brief rundown of individual school Christmas programs shows the events that took place at each of the city schools:

Agnes Fullilove School On December 17, a choral group from this school sang in one of the traditional annual series of converts at Tarrytown Mall. The

biggest event at Agnes Fullilove was that of a musical extravaganza of Christmas music, which was given before members of the PTA on Tuesday, December 17, and repeated for the benefit on the students on Wednesday, December 18. Students also contributed time and decorations for the large school tree placed in the cafeteria, and helped in classroom decoations. This year marks the first time that seventh graders are in attendance at Agnes Fullilove.

T^ay your holidays go as you want them to .. . with every detail perfect, everything serene! Thanks for your support!

Eastern Elementary School At this elementary school, children took part in the White Christmas drive during the Thanksgiving holidays. On December 12, students of kindergarten through grades three presented a Christmas Story for the Eastern Elementary PTA. In all the rooms, the young students joined in decorating, making the decorations and scenes themselves. During Tuesday, December 17, school parties were held in the various classrooms, with Santa Claus arriving for a visit early in the afternoon. Prior to the December 18 final day of school, children brought in pennies, nickles and dimes to give for the purpose of purchasing token gifts for members of the administrative, custodial and food service staffs.

Elmhurst Elementary School . An all grades assembly on Wednesday, December 18 was one of the highlights of Christmas activities for this school. At this gathering, each class was given an opportunity to contribute to the program; some in song, others in short poems or familiar Christmas quotations. Elmhurst was another of the city schools taking part in the White (Continued On Page 24)

'Serpent Power' Is Stirring Research

C^orner AAemorlal Drive & 5th St.Greenville, N.C lOe E. 2nd St.Ayden, N.C.

NEW DELHI (UPI) -Hindus believe kundalini yoga can help man acquire what the ancients thought was the power of the third eye held by the Hindu deity Shiva.

For the yogis of India, kundalini shakti, or serpent power, is the ultimate in mystical experience which can transform a man from a mere mortal into a superhuman.

L..,

Scientists have long thought of it as a mere superstition, but today an Indian physiologist thinks there might be a scientific basis for the yogis powers and he is beginning research to see if there isnt more to kundalini than meets the eye.

"There is great scope for further fruitful research in the field of yoga techniques which have promising potentialities for a fuller mobilization of the reserves of the human brain, said Dr. Surendra K. Man-chanda, chairman of the physiology department at the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences.

We know already that such powers are present in some people, said Manchanda, who has taught at the Univerity of C^alifomia at Los Ungeles. We want to know why they have such powers.

Indian yogis have lived long, healthly lives on near-starva-tion diets. Many can hold their breath for long periods or balance their entire weight on one toe while meditating.

Kundalini yoga, Manchand-a said, says there is some form of biological energy residing in the human body...-This energy is known as kundalini shakti, or serpent power.

In the normal course this energy is potential in nature since the serpent^ is lying coiled. However when activated and mobilized it can have widespread influences on the mental processes.

Experts say kundalini power is awakened through intense meditatioa and channeled step by step through other nerve centers until it reaches the anjana" nerve center located in the forehead in between the two eyebrows. This is called the ~ third eye.

The kundalini concept says if a yogi can perform these successive steps he is able to acquire skills and powers of mind which ar supernormal ~ and paranormal, Manchanda said.

TES, VIRGINIA, THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS.

Virginia, your litte friends are wrong. They have been affected by the scepticism of a s(:eptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be mens or childrens, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you i

know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty ^d joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence

should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.

Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they dii^not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Clas, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most

real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but thats no proof that they are not there.

Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.

You My tear apart the babys rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.

No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, andhe lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he wl continue to make glad the heart of childhood

r-i' Virginia CTHanlon wrote to the New Vbrk Son asking: Is there a Santa

Clausr The an^^tten by Mr. Frank P. Church, has since become a dassic. Today Un^ Carbide brings it to you with our best wishes for a very Merry Christmas.

Early Christians Didn't Mark Event

DAVID E. ANDERSON IPI Religioti Writer

WASHINGTON (UPI) - Like the Babe whose birth it celebrates. Christmas was for centuries an obscurity, unmarked and uncelebrated by the earliest Christians.

Today, however. Christmas has come to be the most widely

marked of Christian holy days and has so permeated even secular thought that some Christians, like their ancient colleagues, urge abandonment of the celebration.

But they shouldnt.

While commercialization undoubtedly exists, the traditions that have grown up around the

celebration of the Nativity are rich enough for those seeking a religious observance of the occasion to appropriate for contemporary times.

Christmas has come to mean for Christians the decisive intervention of God into human history. The Nativity celebrates not a spiritual, abstract event, but the birth of a man a real baby, who even needed swaddling clothes, the first century A.D. equivalent of diapers.

One way that appropriation might be put into effect, is to resurrect the early churchs celebration of Christmas as a season rather than just one day.

There is both a short and long season to Christmas.

In the latter, Christmas extends from Christmas Day to Epiphany, Jan. 6 the 12 days of Christmas. Until recent centuries, it was Epiphany the legendary day of the arrival of the Wisemen at Jesus Bethlehem manger which early Christians understood as the extension of Gods {M'omise to

the Gentile as Jewish world celebrated.

No one, of course, knows for certain the date of Jesus birth.

December 25th seems to have been chosen because it coincided with midwinter solstice celebrations of the pagans. The Christians used the solstice symbol the beginning of the lengthening of the days o light to represent Jesus and ancient prayers describe the Birth night as shining with the brightness of the true Light.

A longer season still marked in the more liturgical churches such as Roman Catholic, Episcopal and Lutheran observes Christmas from Advent, at the end of November and the beginning of December, until Candelmas, Feb. 2, which observes the Virgin Marys presentation of herself and her son at the temple.

Advent is the beginning of the church year and is a time for preparing for the coming of Jesus. Indeed, one of the most

popuUr of Christmas hymiw is in fact an Advent hymn, O Come, 0 Come Emmanuel.

It is a perfect time for a family to begin to look toward Christmas, and if concerned about undue or crass cmnmer-cialization of the nativity, to counter that thrust.

Many families celebrate Advent by constructing Advent wreaths for home worship a bough of evergreen with four candles which are lighted each week before Christmas.

Some churches, also reacting to the commercialization of Christmas, have instituted Advent evenings, one night a week gatherings of the congregations aimed at focusing attention toward the proper celebration of Christmas.

Because Advent is a season of anticipation, most celebrations are joyous. It is a time for music and many churches use the time fw informal parties at which children work together to make home-made Christmas tree decorations while adults gather in the kitchen to bake

and sample the rich goodness of Christinas food from different cultures and nations.

Despite the greed of those who would have Christmas be little more than an orgy of gift giving, for the Christian believ-er the Nativity breathes its own spirit of light and peace.

For many, th^ is a compulsion to attend chu^, perhaps their only contact with organized religion during the year.

For still others, Christmas marks one (rf the two most peculiar events in Christian belief the birth of a God man in a straw filled stable in an obscure town in an obscure country.

The awe and joy of that birth, celebrated with an unprecedented outpouring of giving, of good-will and fellowship, cannot be debased fr the believer.

The coming of that Baby, symbolized with the halo of light around its head, shines through the ages and proclaims the churches central message ; Hope.

Londoners Prepare For Drawn-Ouf War

By THOMAS CHEATHAM LONDON (UPI) - A London that prided itself on its grit through the German bomb blitz of World War II is prepared for a drawn-out war with another kind of bomber.

Wartime London had air raid

warnings and shelters. Now there is no warning and few public places are totally safe.

Guerrilla bombings in the heart of the city have conjured up the picture of a capital once again at war, this time with an unseen enemy that strikes indiscriminately and without warning.

The enemy is the Irish Republican Army.

It was founded 60 years ago and waged a guerrilla war that won independence from Britain for 26 of Irelands 32 countries. The six that remained under British control became known as Northern Ireland.

Today, IRA bombers have brought the battle for Northern Ireland to urban Britain. The reaction is one of outrage. Parliament has outlawed the IRA and will debate restoring capital punishment.

The latest wave of bombings began when 20 persons were kiiled and 183 wounded in

man-sized mailboxes tnat are a symbol of the city. One was in Piccadilly Circus during the rush hour. Another was timed to kill policemen at the scene of an earlier blast.

Lord Hailsham summed up feeling about the IRA in Parliament;

They are a criminal gang, absolutely merciless, absolutely inhuman and not to be appeased by any concessions we could make. This is a war and we have got to win.

Scotland Yard has the impossible task of making every inch of London safe. It is armed with expanded powers of arrest and detention granted by the emergency law that banned the IRA. The bill passed Parliament in 17 hours.

Home Secretary Roy Jmkins called its provisions Draconian measures unprecedented in peace time. Civil libertarians said they were too much, too soonan overreaction.

Christmas Crafts Add Unic|ua Baauty

By ROSALIE TROT.MAN Ref1eor Womans Editor Christmas and crafts have I been a way of life for Mrs. Lucille Sumrell for several months. As crafts supervisor for the Greenville Recreation Department, she began thinking of Christmas related ideas last

Christmas.

In fact, she is already planning for next years holiday season.

Crafts are so rewarding when you have taught someone who is lonely, shut-in or handicapped to make something with their handsit makes life worth living. said Mrs.

Sumrell.

All people are creative all through the year, not just af Christmas. she added.

Christmas ideas this year were done in calico. For children. Mrs. Sumrell has made animal cutouts from childrens' coloring books. The farm animals were then covered with calico.

Also appealing to children are bird houses made from cardboard tubes, wall paper and calico fabric, stuffed butterflies. Christmas trees and chickens.

For adults. Mrs. Sumrell tied circles of calico around old tree ornaments with yam in a variety of colors. A miniature tree was made from a cardboard tube, plastic container and ruffled strips of calico.

Holiday wreaths were made with calico covered styrofoam balls, and then some wreaths were tied with bows of calico ribbons.

The most popular Christmas craft was dough sculpture. Many of the women used this means for making Christmas gifts. It was something the family could do together to create such things .as fruit baskets, ornaments, napkin and candle rings.

I have found that most of the people that attend classes like to make articles which can be finished furing one class period or can be completed at home, she continued.

1 try to keep the classes as informal as possible. I will display several ideas, telling each one to select what they would like to do, Mrs. Sumrell stated.

On this years holiday scene are two unusual Christmas.

treesone made of pasta and one of corn cobbs. The pasta or macaroni tree was designed using a styrofoam tree shape with different shaped macaroni glued on, sprayed with white paint and then a glaze adeed, for a ceramic look.

Slices of com cobbs glued to a styrofoam base sprayed gold were then decorated with colored sequins or glitter. The base of the tree was sweet gun tree balls glued together. Other ideas for unique trees are using com flakes, pop com or sheep burrs.

Beginning with Greenvilles Bicentennial craft show, peo|de began to revive old crafts and they were then more aware of crafts of yesteryear. Of special interest in old crafts was the making of pillows using quilt designs'or woven ribbon, tying tatting, paper puilling, weaving and run hooking.

Everyone has an urge to create somethingI am sure this explains the present explosion of interest in crafts. Children develop a growing Confidence when they produce something with a few supplies and a little direction. Busy adults find that making something with their hands provides a refreshing change of pace from the pressures of daily life. Older people, perhaps retured, find renewed life is being happily busy with a new hobby, she continued.

People are pleased when they can make an exciting new possession from what whould ~ have been a discard. Thres a special satisfaction in making something from almost nothing or turning an old eyesore into a useful attractive object, she concluded.

POPULAR HOLIDAY DECORATIONS this year were designed from oalico fabric. Mrs.

Babies Will Eat Tree Bulbs

CHICAGO (AP) - Keep the glass Christmas lights away from the baby.

An infant who swallowed a Christmas tree bulb here last December has had 19 operations so far. According to Dr. Hernn M. Reyes of the Wyler Childrens Hospital of the University of Chicago, the childs mother found him crying with part of a three-inch green glass bulb in his mouth. Fragments of glass were recovered from his throat at a hospital. More of the bulb made its injurious way through his digestive system and a portion of his colon was removed and the remainder connected with a hole in his side. Infections, obstructions and adhesions developed and more operations were done. In several years, another operation will be necessary.

Swallowing of foreign bodies occurs most frequently in the 1 to 3 age group, reports Dr. Reyes.

Lucille Sumrell has made wreaths,

animal tree ornaments and a Christmas tree from calico.
