PAGE TWO
SPREADING GOOD- WILL
—♦ —
(From The Hamlet News-Messenger)
In business, in tfefe proses--
sions and rtf socitfl v lifo and
community • affair this gospel
of good will is ,spr«ad. It is
spread by those who are fair
dealers in the business world,
by those who practice ethical
methods in the profession, and
by friendly, cooperative and
unselfish, service in , the com
munity and social life.
Such times as Christmas
open the very avenue of good
will. Good will is not hn ab
stract term unless it is made,
so by the neglect of one’s
duty to his fellowman. Good
will suggests the qualities of
friendliness, neighborliness, in
dustry, integrity, tolerance,
cheerfulness, peace and love.
The “peace on earth and
good will toward men” has a
significance in Bible history
that it transcendent. Mortals
can scarcely compredent the
full meaning of the words.
Whatever of good will we in
this 20th century are able to
engender in the hearts of men
is based upon the great phil
osophy brought down from the
sacred tenets of the ages,
from great philosophers and
historians, and from our own
present sensibilities of charity
and justice.
By example and precept
good will may be shown to
ward others. Good will may
be expressed audibly or by
writing. It may be detected in
the smile and in the silent ac
quiescence to duty.
What the world needs is to
make and keep good will a
thriving, living fact. Good will
can not be truly exemplified
by mere platitudes nor by
following foolish precedent
without reason. It may be
shown in our everyday lives
and throughout the year. The
holiday season renders ap-:
propriate the giving of ma
terial things as tokens of good
will. The heart must be in
the transaction, else good will
loses its force and effect. A
spark of genuine good will
is a touch of the divine. Its
benificence grows. Like love
it begets itself.
It is well for the world, and
we believe it to be true, that
as the years go by the world

CHRISTMAS
—♦ —-
(From The Hamlet News-Messenger)
. Another . beautiful Christ
mas.
Another wonderful thought
of home, of mother, of fath
er. of sister and brother, of
child.
Another child made happy,
and another family cheered to
press onward to the goal of
life, which is simply right
thinking and right living.
Another Christmas tree,
dazzling, standing like a senti
nel of peace on earth, good
will toward men.
Another time that those who
profess the Christian religion,
and those who respect it, seek
the story of the shepherd and
the bright star.
Another time to renew old
'friendship by the card, the gift,
or just the meeting “Merry
■ Christmas”.
So indispensable is Christ
mas. Awaited as no other holi
day of the year, it unfolds
what is in the hearts and
minds of men.
The spread of happiness is
both the cause and the effect
of this day, in observance of
the day when Christ was born.
It is a time when traditioh
outweighs history, when intagi
nation is greater than fact;
when the day is celebration,
merriment, prayer, love and
unselfishness, regardless of
any technical considerations as
to the authenticity of another
date. * • •
Christmas is a time when
people let loose of themselves
and give out the spirit and the
soul; it bares what is good and
suppresses what is bad.
Tho it is more blessed to
give than to receive, in receiv
ing one may be happy that the
giver has been blest; hence to
give and to receive carry a

Route Easily Followed
According to road experts no high
way marker in the United States le
so easy to follow as is the official
Federal emblem of U. 8. Highway No
1 shown elsewhere on this page. The
No. 1 represents the first named high
way by the Government. Other
government named highways are now
numbered In the hundreds. Thus,
the motorist starting at Fort Kent in
the northern extremity of this route
has but one marker to follow for the
entire trip to Key West, Fla., should
he venture that far. He can start at
any of the Intermediary cities along
the route and follow it easily. There
are no detours. The route la paved
everywhere save for 22 miles. A survey
shows that there are no less than fifty
of the largest cities In the East on the
, route. Starting at Fort Kent, Maine.
U. 3.1 runs in a direct line South and
in no unnecessary circuitous directions

ANOTHER BOON TO
HUMANTIY
—<s>
(From The Hamlet News-Messenger)
A New York physician be
lieves he has found the germ
that is supposed to cause in
fantile paralysis. The doctor
has discovered elongated mat
ter before unknown to exist.
If this is true, it can be expect
ed that science will further go
intb the matter of obtaining
means of cure.
In any science, art or pro
fession, the thing that causes or
is a source of trouble must
first be found. Then it must be
understood. Whether disease is
caused by germs or by a pro
cess of error or wrong-think
ing of the human mind, it is
certain that the matter or the
error, as : the . case may be,
must be located.
In the short space of twen
ty-five years, rapid advance
ment has been made in the less
ening 6f th6 death rate by such
diseases* as-' diphtheria, ty
phoid, small pox and tubercu
losis. Whatever the cause,
these diseases are 1 fast ‘ loos
ening their grip upon the
race as a whole. The world is
eager to learn of any substan
tial progress in the cure of
infantile paralysis, because, as
its name implies, it usually af
fects children, our most prec
ious possessions. Under the
theory that human ingenuity
is practically limitless, there
is a hopeful outlook for con
quering this dreaded affec
tion. Ij
