Meditation Tor unto us a child is born, unto us u son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder and his name shall be called Wonderful. Counsellor. The mighty God. The everlasting father. The Prince of Peace. Of the increase ol his government and peace there shall be no end. upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The {eal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. .... Who hath believed our report* and to whom is the arm of the Lord re vealed* Tor he shall grow up before him as a tender plant and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness: and when we shall see htm. there is no beauty that we should desire htm. He is despised and rejected of men: a mar of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it -were our faces from him: he was despised, and we esteemed him not. .... All we like sheep have gone astray: ?we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. Isaias 9:6-7, ii: 1-1.6 Cooperation Cherokee County shoppers and Murphy merchants this week are witnessing one of the finest examples of cooperation ever seen in this town. With Murphy Trade Week hitting the mid way mark all indications are that the week will be a bigger success than any one dared hope for. The merchants have Worked together, in vested money and donated prizes to put this special week over. The shoppers so far have shown they are interested in new ideas such as Trade Week by coming to town tow buy, enjoy the parade and stay tye* 6tawjng. But the story behind" ftfe Success of Murphy Trade Week is more than ju^J,giving money and prizes. Busy men in thiv t?Wn. some of the busiest, gave more times- and effort than they hail ifO give to see to it that this project did not fail. Planning for the week started some time ago and evarv day certain civic leaders have plugged away ironing out all the details. Just how successful this Trade W eek will be will not be known until after closing hours Sat urday night. But we will venture to forcast that no one will ha\e a complaint after the week is over. Help W anted There is no other way to gauge the spirit of cooperation in a town better than by planning some project and watching it succeed or fail. Murphy merchants have shown, through the Trade Week, that almost all of them are willing to work and donate for something that will prove helpful for Murphy. The Trade Week is going over big and Sat urday should be the biggest shopping day in the history of Murphy. But men had to take time out to work and work hard for that success. Since the merchants want to cooperate with each other and they are willing to donate money, why don't they get together and hire a full time paid executive secretary fo rtheir almost dead Chamber of Commerce? The secretary would have had more time to plan Trade Week, would had takeb care .of de tails that plagued merchants because of lack of time and would have added his own ideas to the project. Of course, local Chamber of Commerce members would still have to serve on committees But they will want to serve if this Trade Week is any indication. A secretary could see to it that Murphv is better known in our neighboring states and in our own state. He could help oganize a Planning and Development Board in the Chamber of (Commerce. A board that Murphy needs more to day than anything else A secretary would have his hands full for some time getting together the type of Retail Merchants Bureau Murphy needs and should have. And he could get the bureau worked out in the end. because merchants here have proved their desire to establish a working organization. Now is the time fo Murphv to step forward when it has a chance to grow. And it is up to the merchants of Murphv to lead us Mrs. Stalcup Elected Martin's Creek Prexy < New officers were elected at the Martin's Creek Club which met on Tuesday, Nov 25 They art as fol lows: president, Mrs. James Stal cup; vice president.

Fred Vsn Horn, son of Earle Van Horn, Martin's Creek, was elected presi dent of the council on Saturday, November 15. Barbara Barton, Marble, was elected vtce-presl dent; T. J. Harris, Wolf Creek, secretary; Laura Bailey, Martin's Creek, treasurer; Eugene Palmer, Tamo 11 a, reporter. Committee chairmen for recreation are James Smith and Jerry Ruth Smith; for music chairmen are Clara Hughes and Tommy Moore. The 4-H Council U made up of .the officers from each of the sev enteen clubs over the county; the .purpose of the council Is to guide, make plans, and direct activities OB the county level. Twenty-eight W9 present for thf 4-H Don't Shoot Dog That Bites Yon i A new twist to the old saw j "Don't bite the hand that feeds 1 you" was given by District Sani tarian David Moody when he I warned not to blast the head of j the dog that bites you. The idea behind Mr Moody's j advise was that the dog might ; have rabies and the animals brain ! could be destroyed by the bullet or shotgun blast. A man who was bit by a dog last week shot the animal in the head. Mr Moody reported. The ! dog's head was sent to Raleigh ! for examination but the brain was entirely desroyed. A rabid examination can be made on the animal's brain only, Mr. Moody said. The man who was bit now has to take shots to be ! on the safe side. Mr. Moody ex plained. The best plan is to keep a dog pinned up for observation after i person has been bit. If the ani mal is killed be sure the head is not damaged, Mr. Moody said. A rabies examination can be been proved in Cherokee County this year through October. This county hss a high rabies rate, he pointed. Most counties in this sec tion except Cherokee have' full time county rabies inspectors, Mr. Moody said. Murphy Ham Helps During Recent Snow During the recent heavy snow storm in east Tennessee when' some long distance communica tion lines were out of order, ama teur radio operators assisted TV A water oinrtril engineers in gather ing rainfall .and run-off data., Data from the Bryaon City and ' ASheville areas were tunneled into I Murphy where an amatAu- oper ator relayed them to a fellow op erator In Norris, Tenn. The Ndrrie Ham sent them to an operator In Fountain City, Tenn. From that point K was possible to send the date by regular tele to TVA I MISS PUCK KMTOTAIN8 Miss Marie Price entertained on Thanksgiving Day wtth a dinner at b* Cherokee Chatter BY THK EDITOR The Murphy City Schools might be looking for a new assistant roach next year since IRVIN "GREEN pleased SANTA CLAUS >o much with his driving Monday in the CtHstmas Parade. I heart Green telling Santa he could handle reindeer just as well as he can a fire truck. That was a mighty fine crowd that turned out tor the parade; U just -goes to show what a group of hard work ing men and women can do when they decide to pull together for the interest of Murphy. The school might be having trouble with its assistpnt coach but I haven't noticed any enlarge ment of the dome of COACH IKE" OLSON efter the Lions Senior Bowl Game Thanksgiving. Murphy folks were proud of "Ike" when he received his trophy for being selected as one of the bowl coaches. And local people rode away from Bryson City feeling wonder ful after our MISS MILDRED TAYLOR was selected Bowl Queen and the West team?spark ed by Murphy players?took the game. I hope this won't get too far, especially to the ladies of . the Episcopal Church, but I'm afraid She Rev. RHETT Y. WINTERS is a flop as far as being a cook is concerned. Of course, I don't want to tell the Episcopal ladies how to take care of their own parrish, but I think it is a shame they have ne glected the education of their pas tor so much. And we really can't blame MARY, her time is completely taken up minding beautiful little EMILIE This talk about Rhett's cooking is not just idle gossip either. I learned the hard way. Mary and Rhett invited us to their house for Thanksgiving Din ner. But since we were going to the Bowl Game, the Winters changed the invitation to Thanks giving breakfast Which, I thought, was mighty nice. We sat down to a delicious meal ! of waffles and bacon. That is we ! set down to waffles and Rhett was to take care of the bacon. Things went along righf well until Rhett. at a suggestion from Mary turned down the oven where the bacon Was cooking. In a short while, the kitchen was full of smoke and Mary had to Jake over. We had waffles and bacon but a "than" should come right after that "and". Just to show you what kind of neighborhood we live In, they not only like their bacon well done but they purloin pups HILDA OLSON was in Texana the other day and saiw a fine look ing little doggie so she simply stoppe'd the oar, put th: dot Inside and drove away. Don't believe that tala she's handing out that she thought the pup was Cindy who belongs to the Winters. But to get back to Thanksgiv ing. After the tasty breakfast, we attended the game at Bryson City end then returned here for a de licious meal at the home of MRS. J. B. GRAY. Understand County Agent G. H. FARLEY )ws been out of town most of the week. He is a real as r?t to the county and has proved helpful to the Scout many times. The Chrirtmas decorations on the street light posts look cheer ful and were up in plenty of time for the parade. Mayor L L. MAS ON and MRS BERYL WITT were busy the other day overseeing the decoration of some of the poles. 'MRS. H. BUECK was chairman of the women's division of tha street decoration and the did a first class job, Her Immediate agreement to bead up the commit tee and get to work mirrored the hard work put In by many per sona to make the parade a success.

Rt. 1. They will return to California soon where Mr. Wil son Is employed in Mines work. Around Andrews BT BUTH 8UBSAVAGB I don't bekeve that there have ever been as many turkey dinners in Andrews as were served this year. HAROLD GEE underesti mated the demand and was seen running madly about borrowing ?he t rds from his neighbors And speaking of birds, I - hear that TEDDY NICHOLS is pitting enly one each hunting trip and thus is postponing a company din ner planned by the Mrs. The big Smoky Mountain Bowl foa>ball ?ame was well attendeg by the Andrews fans and weren't we all proud of our peppy cheer lco;tae, as well as our players? RICHARD, the barber, BATT LES. the furniture and hardware man, and PURSER, the storekeep er took a trip to Florida which lasted something short of a week and reportedly returned wjth fifty squlrnls which they had bagged while hunting. (All legal, too). We're wondering now if the roads to Florida won't be crowded with squirrel hunters. A goodly number of interested citizens turned out at the city hall for a Chamber of Commerce meeting the other night. I wonder how many others realize the tre mendous importance of an active Chamber of Commerce to a town and .to the growth of a town. Tbire'li be a membership drive soon, and if you are really a booster of Andrews .that will be a chance to show K. The good women of the Metho dist Church will be happy to see buyers at their Bazaar, Thursday and Friday, and If this year's of ferings are anything like thoae of the past, the buyers will be happy to be there, too. It has been brought to my at tention this week the tremendous ?mount of charity work that is done by our doctors. In many communities the policy of the hos pitals and their doctors is not so generous. I am wondering if there might be a way that we could help. Certainly a great deal of respect and appreciation Is due our good doctors. Having seen the result many times of MRS. ALINE BRISTOL'S skill in dramatics. I certainly ex pect to be at the High School Au ditorium Friday night to sc "AUNT ABBY ANSWERS AN AD", the Junior class play.

This week, while so many thousands of Christians are study ing about Jesus, the great Teach er, it is a good thing to think about the teachmg of religion, and to see what can be learned from the methods of Jesus himself. He was called "Teacher" more often than by any other title, and summed up his own work by saying "I have taught." see What? < The am thing a Sunday school tether needs to ask is. What am I supposed to be teaching? Just facts about the Bible aren't the thing; Jesus nev er formally "taught Bible" as we often try to do. There la a place for that sort of thing, of course; It is of some importance to know hew many books there are in the Bible, with their names arranged in order; It is worth while to know the names of the Apoetles and to be able to trace the Journeys of Moses or Paul an a map. But teaching these is not teaching re ligion. What Jem taught can ha put into two words; Ged, ma. What God is like; what man's rate tton to God ought to ha; how man should act toward God and his neighbor; everything Jesus taught can be summed up in thoee topics. You can express it hi various ways. You can say ha taught tha way a child of .God ought to live. You can.may ha taught the laws of right living. You cfn say ha taught 'how to coma to God and to serve him. Any way yen put it, it eemes back to the same two themes, God and man,?not separately but re lated. man to God, man to man. Haw? Thera are two differences be tween a good taaehar and a poor one. (Mora than two. but that* ara among the moat Important.) A good teacher knows hi* subject. peor one has only * bery Has it. And a good taaehar knows haw to teach, while the poor one Jus. blunders around. Like all other arts, .teaching is know<ng-hq*v as well as knowing-what. ' In studying tfte methods of Jeter w* must remember that ha did not have a formal class room II - did not have scheduled hours, not even the regular onee-a-week the Sunday school teacher now ha* His teaching was all Informal. Bu even so. ara can learn much fro his methods. He almost never "ler tured." that Is to say. he answerer* questions people asked him rathe than making cut-and-drled speed es. His teaching grew-out of pe< - pie's actual needs and problem*, he "spoke to their condition." Goon teaching Is answering. Than are note that Jeans did nx use big words. wom-out words or generally abstract trdrds.' for ex ample. he never once used the word "religion" though he war talking about dt all the time. H* seldom used the word "sin" thoug he often put his fb\ger on particu lar sins. Hi* language was the lan guage other people spoke and coul.l understand. A He used the Bible for his illus tratlon* sometiynes, but he did not Wear out the affect of it by over using K.- Even the best of books can be made tlreeome by tiresome repetition. The Bible is the most IfHag book In the world, and Jest.* never killed It by dullness. Yet Jesus knew the value of repeating truth, and know how to repeat It without making It .tiresome. He would light up the same truth from many different angles. ? ? ? Who? ? As has bean said bar# before, If Jesus' life had not boon in line with his own teachings, -what be said would have mat with jeer* and Indifference. No one would have cared nor remembered what he said.
