Christmas Spirit Has Hit Cherokee County Post Offices AMmutfi It ia still a long time until Christmas as far aa the general public is concerned?especially children, Cherokee County Poet Offices are getting the Christmas spirit And for a good reason. Every year about this time postal officials begin their worrying over bow many Christmas packages and greeting cards fall to reach their destinations on time. In some cases packages and cards go to the dead letter office and never reach the Intended receiver. It is an uphill battle for postal workers every Christmas but every year they manage to do a wonderful Job of playing Santa Clause to loved ones In distant parts. It is no accident that the organization-set up to handle the normal flow of yearly average mail?is able to take on this roam mouth load each year. The Postal Department's plan of beating the rush is worked out in advance and it calls for cooperation of the mailing public. On Page One of this issue the Scout is carrying a news story from the Post Office that sets down the bet plan to follow in mailing cards and packages. These hints are tried and proved over years of Christmas mailing periods. Cherokee County mailing patrons must remember that by follow big the plan, they will be giving extra assistance to their Post Offices; but more important, their Christmas packages will reach their des ^nutiniK oq time.

They beg for any kind of food that is their only means of survival. I have sent y?u this letter in hopes you will publish it I feel confident that the people of Che | rokee County won't let these starv I ing children down.

San Francisco, Calif. First Service Battalion First Marine Division. FMF | FPO San Francisco, Calif. 13 October 1953 Dear Friend, Marines of the First Service Ba ttalion are going to have a Christ mas party. "Good!", you say, "But why are you telling me about K?' I'll explain. At the Imjin Refuge Camp, near our battalion, there are over 6,000 people living in mud huts, shanties, and lean-to's. Of these there are some 3,000 child ren, 800 of whom are in school They go to school In tents, most of which are old and rotten. The children sit on the ground with so fire to warm them. These people are a part of 48,000 living In re fugee camps In the First Marine Division area. Havtng been evacu ated from their farms hi the mil itary zones the people are without any means of support and are completely destitute. They are In dire need of food and clothing. Here is why I am writing to you. j Service Battalion Marines are go ing to "chip in" to have a big Christmas party for these child ren. We want you to help us by sending clothing and nourishing ? canned food (not money) to give to the children at the party. Possibly you could interest a neighborhood group, church, school, civic or vet eran's organization in getting up a package for us Check with the post j man in the size and weight limit ations, and be sure to wrap and tie the package securely. Put an extra rope around it to make cer tain it will reach us. In order to get here in time, it should be mail ed the first week in November. Send it to the Battalion chaplain at the above address. For anything that you might send, we express our thanks In ad vance. It is our hope that you will receive a portion of the enjoyment and satisfaction by participating in our party in this way. Vary Sincerely, S-Sgt. Roy. F. Lovingood P. S. The clothing doesn't have to be new, used clothing is fine. Dear Editor: The business people of the Mar ble Community have reason to be happy and relieved this Sunday morning after Halloween. Outside of a little window soaping their places of business remain as they left them Saturday night. There is an atmosphere of good will all around. Even the sunshine seems a little brighter, and certainly the community spirit is more cong enial. Instead of a feeling of con tempt for cluttered doorways, there Is a warm appreciation for well-behaved young folks. The people of 'Marble can greet each other with a smile, instead of a frown and regret. The children and their parents are to be congr atulated for a harmonious Hallo Robert M.

VALLEY VIEWS By Evelyn Baker A HALLOWUK We think that the people of An ew% bottl wwn? and old. m?y themselves on . who ??* many Halloween. There were. as .hrays, escept tons that prove the rule. A stop ?*?v was torn down, end boulders that might have caused tragedy .were rolled into the street, but it arenas that each year these is less meanest and mor? real dun. We feel that our young PfTlr ere entitled to this gay evening that is peculiarly their own. They [walk abroad in every conceivable I ?wt?"?ie, ghosts, witches, goblins, i strange animals supermen, Indians and spaceahipmen. Let us older one, continue to en ter with the spirit of their good times. Let us continue to be h"ytg to them, having our doorways lig hted and a merry greeting when they come with their "Trick ori treat". Last year many of them asked ! for "paper pokes" but this year they brought their own pokes and held them open for us to drop in the treats. It is true that they come in droves, but it takes so lit tle to please them They are our own Andrews Young folks and if we will plan ahead a bit we too can be young and gay with them on their merry Halloweens.

Just as tt brags about the parks, schools and museums But sometimes the pride is tor the wrong reason. Why should a eom mimlty be proud of Us churches and thankful for themT Why does ?very American community, with 'aw excep tions. feel Itself not complete with out at least one church? Not be cause they add to the beauty of the local scene, though many of them do. Not because they are inexpensive Or. and democratic clubs, for a church which is no mors thin ? club Is not o true church. ? ? ? Wb*t Dow A Church Do For A Community? What a good church does for Its community can never be fully told. There are three outstanding serv ices which the church and only the church attempts to do in the most vital way. Ona la to produce better persons. To be sure, the schools and ths hospitals and all sorts of organisations are working ?t the task of making better citi zens; so perhaps are the juvenile courts and even the police courts But the church, and only the church, la working at the Job of making better citizens from Inside out. Only the church confronts sinning men with the living God ?>? church introduces men to Christ Only the church keeps memory, and practices the living presence, of the Son of God. Even the most pagai mayor would admit that his city or town would be better If all the citizens were Christians. WeU. that is pre cisely what the church it tryng to do. "present every man perfect to Christ" as SL Paul expressed The Personal Gospel Some churches talk much of die social gospel; others never do. But even the most individualistic kind of religion may turn out to be a soda] gospel?a good news tor the community?after all. For one thing, the church and only the church, within any community, not only knows what a Christian home ought to be. but works at it. If a church did nothing else whatever to solve the problems of its community, what it does to founding and supporting Christian homes brings rewards and div idends to the community that far outweigh anything the community can do for the church. The church keeps her eye always on persons; other elements to the community keep sharp ayes on profits, but to the long run people are more Important than profits, even when It Is only the church that sees It In a certain larga dty there is a residential area where the people have been badly affected by fumes from manufacturing plants about e mile away. In the many argu ments over the trouble, the fac tories (and the Chamber of Com merce) are concerned mainly with the moaey problems involved in ridding the community of harmful fumes. ... Learning To Be Neighbors In the long run. It is the church that helps a community to be a community and not a collection of houses. It la the church that teaches her members to honor othara more than themselves. It Is the church that teaches a mo rality higher end deeper than any code of laws. It Is the church that preaches end teaches and to part practices unselfish love as the lew of life. It Is the church that gives the most profound meaning to the word "neighbor" end indeed to "community" Itself. a church which is to itself a true fellowship is going that tar toward making the whole community a fellowship to fact and not only In name. Here, alasl we run into a miserable fact; that some churches are so far from Christian that they barm the community-spirit Instead of build tog tt up. In a small Delaware village some years ago a feud be tween two denominations reached the point where one locked the other out of the Thanksgiving serv ice! That is an extreme; but any one who rides through the country end teee to a tiny village more churches then tt can ever support or fill, cannot help wondering ?bother all these "bolier-tban tbou" societies era building or breaking a spirit at togetherness to that piece. it?
