’TIS CHRISTMAS
It is Christmas in the mansion,
Yule-log fires and silken frocks;
It is Christmas in the cottage,
Mother’s filling little socks.
It is Christmas on the highway.
In the thronging busy Mart;
But the dearest, truest Christmas
Is the Christmas in the heart.
THE NEW YEAR
We are looking forward to the
coining of the New Year especial
ly because of the opportunity
there is in it for us. None of
us felt bigger or better when we
read of the losses during October
that were due to “reprocessing”.
We are all doing a good job, none
of us have actually been dilatorv
in our work, but we suddenly
realize that we will have to put
a little more painstaking effort
in our work before we have the
right to strut again! That is
what we all want to do—hold our
heads high.
ALACRITY
There is a word in our lan
guage that is perhaps more de
scriptive of “good work” than
any other. That word is “ALAC
RITY”. It means “cheerfully,
willingl), and promptly.” For
the New Year, we could all do
no better than resolve to work
with “alacrity” until the word be
comes the by-word of every job
we touch.
Some of us have known each
other a long time; some of us
are acquaintances of a week or
two. The Editorial Board takes
this occasion to join each of you
in wishing each other a Very
Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year, and in the immortal
words of Tiny Tim
GOD BLESS US, EVERYONE!

Boopsey Tiger Popular
Christmas Toy

facturing Company.
This rayon plush is woven both at Caromount and
at Wilson. In the Caromount Dyehouse the stripes
are dyed and printed. After finishing and final
inspection the cloth is “framed” and then shipped
to the toy manufacturer. In the picture to the right,
this fabric is passing through the finishing range
just prior to the final inspection. Gund toys are sold
at the Belk-Tyler stores in Rocky Mount and Wil
son, and at Baldwin’s in Rocky Mount.

Devotional Thoughts
lHHbat Uo (3iv>e
With Chyiistmas approaching,
we are all no doubt wondering
what to give. 1"he children ex
cited over what Santa will bring.
Dad wonders to whom he can
give last year’s tie, which he has
never worn, to make room for
the new ones he expects, and Mom
wondering what to have for
Christmas dinner.
It seems that at Christmas
]jeople become excited and forget
W'hat Christmas really is. They
seem to forget that it’s Christ
we are to Avorship and not Santa
Claus. People are beginning to
leave Christ out of Christmas
by their lives and by spelling it
X-mas. They tell their children
all about Santa Claus but fail to
tell them about Christ. Ride
streets during the
eason and see just
decorations you see
down the
Christmas
how many
honoring Christ
It’s time to jjut Christ back in
to Christiras. Stop spelling and
stop living it “mas.” If you do
not know’ Christ as your Saviour
then why not let that be your gift
this Christmas. Give vour heart
to Christ b) repenting of your
sins and accept Him as your Sav-
After all, God gave Jesus
Jour.
to us that we could be saved,
so why not be saved this Christ
mas? Perhaps in the past Christ
mas has meant only bells, trees,
holly and snow', but you seldom
thought of Jesus, wdio was sent
to die for ymu. If ymu have ac
cepted Christ then it means a lot
more to you, for it means He
is first in everything and as w’e
approach the Christmas tide may
you come over on His side and
then the lights on the trees, the
holly and everything will be
brighter for He gave the 'real
Light. As we wrap the gifts we
need to think that He gave the
first gift, wrapped in swaddling
clothes and laid in a manger.
Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year to all of you and may
God bless you.
