Since it is so near Christmas it would seem siting to give % own point of view on this, the most joyous of seasons, or to teU some fitting story of Christmas’s past. I’ll attempt to do neither of these but in stead, pass on this story: <ln the Austrian Tyrol nestles the remote town of Qbendorf. Joseph Mohr was the devout priest of the town; Rranz Xavier Gruber, his friend, the village choir master and church organist. Both were lovers of music, and the two often agreed that the perfect Christmas song hid yet to be found. Meditating on this thought, Mohr sat in his study on Christmas Eve, 1818. Outside the air was still and cold. Sud dently, thoughts which had been forming in Mohr’s mind found clear expression, f “Still Nacht, Heilege Nacht.” The next morning, he hur ried to his friend’s home with the manuscript. Gruber then composed the music, ex claiming with joy in his heart as he sang it for the first time, “It sings itself, young son.” Later in the evening they s&ng their new song before their first audience.

Tradition has it that the song lay on Gruber’s desk for a year. Then it was tried or. the church organ. The organ builder was so entranced that he begged to take a copy to a little town across the moun tain. There it was sung by four sisters by the name of Strasser. This song became the favorite of the “Strasser quartet.” They were invited to sing the hymn in the cathedral of Leipzig. It became known as the “Tyrolean Song.” The song was first honored in 1854 when a full choir sang it in the imperial church of Berlin before Emperor Frederich Wilhelm IV. Thereafter it was ordered to have first place in all Christmas programs. Translated into English, the song begins: “Silent night, ho ly night,” the most beautiful of Christmas songs to be sure. Along with receiving, Christmas also provided an important opportunity for us to teach our children about giving. Once past the self absorption of toddlerhood, children are naturally recep tive to generous feelings and enjoy the grown-up role of giver. Encourage them to design their own greeting cards and to make presents for older family members if no one else. Even if yours is not a religious family, let them at tend a pageant or religious service that dramatizes the holiday’s spiritual meaning. By sensitive awareness of what it is your children most enjoy doing, help them create, over the years, those family traditions that will re main a permanent source of strength in the years ahead. Just as this Christmas is for children, all the Christmas’- in the years to come will be for children. What we teach &em today will determine what they will teach their children in years to come. Let’s do our job well. Here’s hoping you and yours will have a very special holiday season, and that the joy that is Christmas will bring a touch of happiness to your heart.

Jesse Helms’ battle agianst the federal gasoline tax increase of five cents per gallon recent ly may have been the first thing he’s done to endear himself to North Carolina voters in a long time. That, of course, excludes his always excellent individual consti tuency response and service record, which touches a relative few at the polling place. North Carolinians just haven’t been decidely im pressed with Helms’ work on behalf of tabacco lately, especially after a yes vote (misplaced or not) for a 100 per cent tobacco tax increase. Although a case could be made for the growing anti tobacco vote in this state, or at least the “I could care less” attitude about the leaf in dustry, that lobby is not a part of the Helms’ constituency. Most observers agree that Helms’ efforts on behalf of school prayer, anti-abortion, Argentina, and Taiwan, have done little for the folks back MINI STORAGE YOU Locjt It Up & Keep The Key Store Anything, Any Size, Anytime, as Long As You Need Open 24 hr*, a day ■ 365 day* par year (4rt> (4i16) (tilt) or (lfalt) To CHOOM from Motor Homo Or Bail Partin* C T STOKE ANYTHING At Mini-Storage, you cm More almost anything 1 #TX TT k's o (root placo (or hoMMd isods bsto’esn (\/| I [\j | •torn (*•• tkeopsr to not wltk .a (or > IVIII ll ■talk I*oo not ■ mono* true* ovtno*ht) Kaop bulldog metarule sole sod dry during __ __ coaotructiao or ronodotiag ...

But his efforts of real late reaffirm and preserve in platinum his claim of opposi tion to any additional tax on gasoline. Tar Heel motorists can appreciate that. On the other hand, Helms’ political organization, the National Congressional Club, has the same type of platinum et chings confirming Gov. Jim Hunt’s efforts to raise state gasoline taxes a year ago. During the protracted fight over the increase of three cents per gallon, the Congres sional Club was a major oppo nent. And they spent money to be sure people realized Hunt was out front for it. With that first skirmish over the state gasoline tax, people speculated that such was the beginning of the definitive political battle of the century-Hunt vs. Helms in the 1984 Senate race. It was. And it was smart politics on Helms’ behalf. rJ9*t Sen. Helms and the Congressional Club have done little to enhance their reputa tion for smart politics sense. Even now, Helms’ protege’, John East, is in Washington looking for what might be a typographical error in the Panama Canal Treaty. Agreed that Sen. East went a long way on the Panama Canal in 1960. but this is 1962. when unemployment, Social Security, and out-of-control federal spending deserve his attention.
