In no small meas use' we felt a sense of guilt, whether deserved or not, as we gathered about our gaily dec orated trees. We sang the same carols and gave the same gifts but t;he Christmas bells did not ririg as joyously as in years past. | Santa) made his usual rounds and filled stockings with goodies for , kids, who even in their young years were more subdued; for they, too, sensed that this year Christmas was bereft of some of its gaiety. But let us never for get that the Star still shines in tne East, even though its brilli ance and lustre and jfromise was somewhat dimmed by a lone ; eternal flame that burns in Ar lington Cemetery. Lying on my desk is a minia ture Japanese Samurai sword, doing duty as a letter opener.

AIBEMARE MOTOR COMPANY 1 ’ THE CHOWAN HERALD lieve few of us fully realize the thoughtfulness and unselfish con sideration that goes into the giv ing of a gift. Oh, we appreci ate the gifts that are given to us, but we accept them with a sort of mental shrug of the shoulders. There is an unconsci ence involuntary indifference that would horrify us if we were aware what was taking place in our subconscious mind but I believe that deep in our hearts we are truly grateful and thank ful when we receive a gift. It is at least a happy reminder that we still have friends. STREET SCENE—A little girl carrying a doll so big I did ai double take, the better to see| who was toting whom . . . You know, kids’ toys get bigger and better all the time; modern toys are almost the real thing. In fact, it is difficult to tell the! toy from the real article in manyj instances. But kids grow up fast nowadays and in that re spect they have lost many of the joys of childhood. It takes a child’s imagination to enjoy a toy, and I believe the kids of today have to a large extent lost the faculty of imagination in play. The toys they have| are so authentic, so real-life, I there is hardly any room left for the imagination. I remem ber when I was a kid I got a tool chest one Christmas that had tools that would not function asi real tools should. As I remem ber, the saw wouldn't cut cheese 1 and the hammer wouldn’t drive j a thumbtack. But with the chest of tools I was a great builder, an architect, a great engineer. I built bridges and wonderful houses—all in my imagination. It wasn’t just true of the tool 1 , chest, but all the toys I had. [THEY WERE TOYS, intended as. toys and that was all they were. I The final test of any toy, I sup-j ' pose, is, does it make a kid j j happy, And if it takes realism, ! the real thing, to make modern l kids happy—then I’m for realism ! and I’m happy, too. I wish all of you a happy and prosperous 1964. 4-H CLUB MEETS Center Hill junior 4-H Club met Monday night, December 16, at the Center Hill Community Building with all members present.
