uw ? ? ? * ? .*??* ? * WOODS WILL * ? ???'?????? Last Tuesday week WOOD hart 'its first pre- view of Christmas at -the Childrens Party. So much of the -future of the cohimunity Is ?dependent upon the help and guidance that can be given tho ?children now it was a real pleas ure to see the way the women Yolks had fixed the house up for ?heir party. The tree was decora ted and lighted and the presents .piled around the base in the ^rl?hi Christmasy wrappings, the ?ve^j&r and holly, the candle lighted windows and the decora ted lights all created a very real -Atmosphere of the season. After singing several Christmas songs. Rev. Turner introduced Rev. Ho *a<?*Thompson who' preached tlis .^ggejfaUn. His topicj ws oil "Gi\ Inf^jindraa Johnny" Mel Griffin ^Baid after the service if wa?,very touching. It is a fine commenda tion when a preacher j^tn deliver Ills thoughts in such a way' that ^e- impresses .them upon the minds wait} hearts of his audience. ' Pres eSts were given to all the child len and members and after the ?loge of the meeting several of the young folks went about th.) ^community singing Christmas ca rols. . ? 11? 'I ? Wednesday night the Louisburg "Theatre presented Henry Aldrich, Boy Scout, and the Wood Scout "Troop came in to see it. Scouting ts a new enterprise in our com munity and we all have much to learn. The picture was entertain ing. but also it was instructive -and surely the imaginations ot the hoys was fired with the op portunities they too can enjoy in th^ir Scouting. The hike that was to take place on Friday had to be post poned because of bad weather and no date is set for if because -of the "busy Christmas season. It will be held as soon las arrange ments can be made. X. ? ? ? M ?? The community lost one of l?s \ old Ittners last Saturday evening when John Lanier passed^ on quietly at his home. In the sev enty (odd years he spent in and around WOOD he saw the good times and the bad and with his passing goes the recollections of much of the past in the commun ity. He will be missed by his friends and neighbors and the family he leaves behind. Funer al services were held Tuesday af ternoon. ? -*? It? H It was a nice day Sunday and the Sunday School attendance was good.- The classes were short because it was preaching Sunday. Rev. Turner gave a good Crristmas sermon that was helpful to everyone who heard it. H? II Larry Oupton and Mafgargf -firiffin were married at Dillon. S. O. last Saturday and returned home after a short stay. Their plans are not complete as yet but it is hoped that 'they will remain in the community and join the growing young married set. f-1 Everyone is glad to hear that Rebecca Leonard is improving and hope she will be OK soon. | -Matthew Gupton is about some now tujrlt also improving. John Lewis was hurt when his axe slio-l I>ed and cut his foot open. He will toe confined with this injury for -some little time. Sunday while .*ome of the kids were playing ball little Nancy Raynor got a pretty toad cut on her cheek. We hope ;ahe gets well soon. Bryant King liurt an eye pretty badly in a fall and Susie Pierce spent Sunday ?nd Christmas in bed. WOOD welcomed a host of vis itors over the Christmas week end including Creech Shearin and wife, Hugh Gather's wife, Ruby, Snooks and son, Blanche Perry, Weldon Jonej, Edgar Fuller ani family, Jerry ftorton and family. Clay Griffin and family, Freeland Greeu, wife and daughter,;" Mary ajid Austin and their children. Preacher Ball and family, Mrs. N. V.

For what promised to be a slow Christ- 1. m&B it turned into' the happiest' | in many years and it was fine'1' ! to be able to have all of these;' i folks to stare it with us in th'< community. ' * ,4 II ? 51 ?Id the Christmas season we see the New Year peeking at us over the coming week-end. What hopes and ambitions the coming year may hold for us we can offiy surmise. It is well to pause and soberly view the prospects for it will be our fourth yeaer of war. The shocking . savagery of th.3 German breakthrough just be fore Christmas should warn us that our efforts must be concen trated evefl more seriously to the work at hand. In our conscious- i ness I think all of us are begin-; ning to rfctilize more fully the things that we must do to tote'l our part of this war. The sacri-l fices of you and I and all of us J will be greater, but no matter how ( heavy the burden may be it is a small amount in comparison to the weary Job of the boys and girls who are scattered in every corner of the world are doing fighting the war for us. Our bul lets may only be drops of swe?. but if we can find at the close oT 1945. twelve months from now that we have diligently backed up our front line fighter? and made,,, their Job even a little easier, ori, just a little less lonely by ourji letters It will be*a good year. We 1 must look forward with cohfid^c ence and pray for guidance and c if by the grace of God the war can' c be won in the coming year, then ^ let all of -us strive even harder ? that the peace that is won will be Just and .lasting.
