Entered in the Post Office at Murphy, North Carolina, as second dass matter under the Act of March 3, 1879. Murphy Post Office Is Handling Season Rush The OrWrnai season, as usual, tilt the Murphy Post Office a week so ago, and this week the postal workers are deep in the center of Each year the Post Office Department sends out appeals to the mailing public to cooperate by mailing Christmas mall early. And each year a large number of patrons fall to heed the appeal, bringing on the last minute rush that la so hectic to the post office and the public. But each year the Murphy post&l employes take the rush and extra work in their stride. Their o=c aim seems to ty getting as many Christ mas parcels and cards as possible delivered before closing time Christmas Day. It is remarkable the way supervisors, clerks, carriers and extra clerks take the work and long hours at the (Murphy Post Office at Chrismas time. Of course, they can be heard complaining that they are tired. But never once have we heard a single one complain about the nrtna work or the unreasonable requests they must get during this The Post Office, well tn advance of Christmas, starts sending out Instructions for Christmas wrapping and mailing. They ask that pack ages be wrapped and tied well with addresses plainly written. They ?k that cards ty separated for local and out of town delivery. Many Jeople ignore these suggestions and it is extra work for the clerks to traigbten out the mess Each year they right mailing wrongs time and again. And each fear they continue to give prompt and cheerful service. The Christmas season means a big load to the (Murphy Post Office yet each year they manage Id carry it well and in the proper spirit. We don't know bow they do it - - unless, of course, it's lust the Christmas spirit that hits them early and carries them over the hump. Letters To Editor CRY, CHILDREN, CRY Araon, Murder, Theft, Reckless Driving, Vandalism and all kinds of felonious activities. The FBI Mates juvenile crime is I on the increase. The adult public mutters, "What Shall we do?" It appears that a lot of people are helpless in that situation. Where is the cause? , We can trace K right to our own homes. The youngsters in early age get out of control, disregard discipline and advice of their parents and run wild. We are afraid to hurt their ego. In school they are not forced to abide by rules and regulations. If punishment in school is discovered adults scream about brutality in school. When the teenager starts smok ing and shaving he concludes that he can get away with anything. . . and he does. From previous exper ience he knows very little about fear of punishment He was not guided by the right example and in making his choice selects more often the wrong one. Do we want to tanprove it? , There must be a definite tighten tng of controls at home and In school. The growing children must be given to understand that they will be punished and they should be punished. In small communities like ours, the officers of law and court do not do any favor to the children of fjheir relatives and friends by not enforcing the rules and regulat ions. If we are not able to impose discipline on the children we shall set an example beyond reproach. Are we doing our pant? A PARENT Murphy, N. C Dec. 15, 1953 Dear Santa.

Add sugar and mix well. Chill in refrigerator a few hours before serving. YIELD: One quart. This relish will keep well in the refrigerator for several weeks. SPJ t iNi Srtaa 1,1 I | BY DR. KENNETH J. FOREMAN \ ?OSES?efe'&rBtt' Ml GOD'S will is tor a warlass world. No ana can road the prophets and maka anything else out of it God's will is for paaca in this world. Paaca among an gels, yes. peace beyond death, yast of course; but that is not the whole of it God's will is for peace among man, peace on this good, green earth. So long as there are wars, we.know that God's will and intention for mankind is being resisted. God wants a warlass world. ? ? ? Leader To Peace One of the many names for Christ la "Prince of Peace." a title given by a prophet long be fore his birth. It will be worth our while to look into mat uue inu weex and tee what ex actly la meant by It, for it i* much more than a strik ing phrase. The word "Prince" has nothing necessari ly to do with roy alty, though it of ten does. Its literal meaning la lead- Dr. Fereman er. captain, chief. As Prince of Peace therefore, our Lord is Leader of Peace. But again, the title may mean more things than one. Let us start with "Leader te Peace." In this sense, i Christ is one who points out the road to peace, shows mankind what peace means. As the Bible uses the word, peace does not mean simply*the ebbing of a Rattle-tide, the hill between at tacks. It is not a negative word, it is positive. The kind of peace to which Christ points is not mere indifference, it is based on love and good-will. For Instance, as these lines are written, the United States is at peace with Canada; it is also at peace with a dozen other countries that could be men-' tioned. But while it is barely pos sible that war might break out with any nation, it is probably less likely to break out with Canada have less in common and for whose people our own people have a much weaker affection. True. peace is based on mutual good will. Jesus taught us much more about peace; for example his ref erence to "peace-makers." But wr must pass on. Leader Of Peace At Prince of Peace our Lord U also Leader ef Peace. That is to. say, where Christ is known and' honored (not in name only, but actually known and loved), there peace is far more likely to be than where He is not known. It is some-' tiroes said that civilization breeds' wars. No doubt It does; but bar-' barism breeds even more. Savage tribes are in an almost perpetual state of warfare. It is also pointed out that Christian nations are often warfaring. On the other hand it mi} be asked; Where do you And a really Christian nation? Who starts the wars? Are the "Chris tian" nations the aggressors or do they have to rise to the defense against aggression? One thing is certain. Before the coming of Christ, wars were taken as a matter of course. No nation ever bothered to apologize or explain their fights. Since Christ's coming, and more than ever in recent years, nations that go to war have a bad conscienci about it Piles of "white papers* and the like are put out to show why it was necessary to declare war. At least, Christian nations are aware that the road of war is never the right road except as a last resort ? ? ? Leader By Peace Another meaning that may fairly be given to "Prince of Peace" is "Leader by Feace." That is to say, the leadership and Lordship of Christ is never one of coercion. There have been leaders by the sword; there have been leaders ? by lies, for the human race is all too easily misled; there is one and only one Leader of men who will reign only through love. At Christmas time men often winder why it is that the angels' song has never been fulfilled. Peace has not come on earth to stay. Peace is always pictured as a bird poised for flight The full reign of the Prince of Peace seems to be so slowly coming. The reason is that unlike all earthly leaders, Christ will have none in his kingdom who is not there by his own free will. God could no doubt beat the world into silent submission in a very short time. It is not beyond the power of the*Almighty to bring every human war to an end. (lutl am n|irl|kU< ?r ta?
