WHY SANTA CLAV8
About tlM year 300 after Christ,
there lived a young man namnri
Nicholas in Patara, Lycia where
St. Paul first planted the faith
of Jesus- Having lost his parents
when he was a young man, he
gave all his goods to the poor. Par
example, one of his fellow-citizens
had three daughters, but being too
poor to offer a dowry for their mar
riage as was the custom then, he
decided to abandon the girls to a
life of prositution- Nicholas, leani
ng of this, went to the house dur
ng the night and threw in the win
low sufficient money for the dowry
>f one girl- He repeated this on 2
>ther occasions, thus enabling all
hree to be married to respectable
nen.
Later Nicholas devoted his whole
ife to God, Who worked many won
lers among men thru him- When
le died in 342, his people consider
ed him one of God's saints, and in
heir language called him "Sanctus
ttcolaus", which has been shorten
ed in English to Santa Claus. His
:indness to the three girls is still
rommemorated nowadays by chil
tren who on Dec. 6th, (his feast
lay), hang their stockings at the
ireplace, and hope that Nicholas
vill visit their house during the
light and fill them with gifts and
tuts and fruits
Nicholas is a special patron of
children because he himself was a
nodel of innocence and virtue from
lis childhood; and as a preacher,
lis first care and delight was to
orm that tender age to sincere
>iety. Parents today must try to
io the same by instructions made
sensible and adapted to their small
ninds by similes, parables and ex
amples; but especially by good
example. A child seeing those a
bout him love their own ease and
ever seek what pleases their sens
es, seeing them peevish, vain im
patient and lazy, will naturally
cherish and give in to those pas
sions instead of governing them by
by humility, meekness and self
denial.
Capt and Mrs. )ames F. Ricket
of Asheville were guests at the
Dickey House during the Thanks
giving holidays.
Miss Starr Bristol who is teach
ing at Robbinsville, spent the week
end with her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. J. A- Bristol.
Mr. P. B. Ferebee went to Win
ston-Salem, N. C-, the first of the
iveek on business in connection
with his bond buying.
Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Odom were
n Andrews on Wednesday of this
week, the guests of Mr. Odom's
sister, Mrs. R. F. Piercy.

dren by some special practice the
next four weeks in imitation of the
4000 years mankind waited for 1
Him. Teach piety and self-denial by
giving each child an empty paper 1
manger. At bedtime daily let him
place a straw in it for each good
deed done in honor of Jesus for
His birthday gift. On Christmas,
you place an Infant on the straw. 1

In Last week's column I mention

we have flying "dog bouses", and
I tried to point
out that the ruin
of humanity will
be that we simp
le, common peo
ple cannot poui
bly keep up with
the vast techno
logical and
?cientific chang
es that are being made. Our minds
and our hearts Just cannot adjust
that fast.
If it would not be for commun
ism, wouldn't it be much sounder
and much better for humanity if,
for the next 50 years, no more in
ventions anywhere in the world
would be allowed to be made, or
would be worked on, unless they
were purely in the field of medi

would let her child eat breakfast at
3:00, ice cream at 8:30, lunch at

supper at 10:00 in the morning, all
within two hours. We let them di
gest something first before we
;lve them more. Why can't we
have just as simple a plan when
it comes to the human race?
Let's now once first digest what
we have. Let's now see how to

we can put 2 and 2 together? that
is, all the inventions with the Bible,

Moat people have a different def
inition of man. The scientific name
for man ia Homo sapien. The dic

"Act like a man','! Just what do
they mean by thia statement?
Often an athlete thinks he is a
man until he faces life. Then he
sees how wrong he is. An airplane

This can be done, ? provided we, j

to realize that if it is not done,
that our children tonight are not ,
safe when we put them to bed. ,
If for a moment we forget about
the little things that might have
irritated us this morning, such as
the coffee was cold,; the mother-in
law was sitting in the favorite
armchair; the father-in-law was
reading the newspaper; the child
ren's bubble gum was pasted on
the dinette chairs instead of under
the table; the boss asked you to
do three times as much as you pos
sibly can do and, if you are the
boss, you felt everyone was loaf
ing around; if even you forget for
a moment that you couldn't find a
parking place this morning the
butcher again didn't have your
favorite cut, the TV was out of or
der and the linoleum in the kitchen
had to be fixed? then you must a
gree you really don't have any
