Between the hosts of siWer stars And meadows bleak and hoary, I think I see the angels pass In their immortal glory. The jeweled gates of Paradise, On golden hinges swinging, Must open when the seraphs hear The childish voices singing; And when the chimes begin to play On Christmas morning early, T look for rows of haloed heads And folded pinions pearly. Though, all the world is dim with storm And bitter winds are blowing, I dream of flashing wings between The shining or the snowing; And with the music of the bells From every steeple pealing, I listen for the sweeter notes Of angel voices stealing. —MIMMA IRVIXG. No Empty Stockings In order that there may be a Santa Claus for all the children, the churches of the city are co-operating this year as a Christmas Cheer committee with one uni fied purpose of seeing that the underprivi leged children are not neglected on the day of days. j Ilhis year the people of the city and county w'ill not be asked to give cash con tributions but all who wish to do so may give toys, fruits or candies. jPerhaps there are some toys, in good condition in your home that you»- children have ceased to care for. How the eyes of some of the underprivileged children would shine to know that the toys could be theirs! It is not so much the benefit the chil dren would derive from the toys as it is the spirit in w'hich the articles ai'e given. The Christmas spirit is the happiest spirit of the year and it takes giving in order to find real happiness. It is not a gi*udg- ing contribution that makes of happiness, but any human act that has a free heart behind it. It’s just a little thing to call a member of the Christmas Cheer committee and tell them about something you have to give for the benefit of the underprivileg ed children but you w'ould be surprised to learn just how much joy and happiness you can put into a little tot’s life. Since the committee has only a few days in which to work, people of the city should act at once on this request. Rendezvous Park Recent activity in the construction and development of national parks has caused people of North Carolina to think about the state park situation. Among the many places of .scenic and historic interest in North Carolina there are only three state parks, if our infor mation on the subject is accurate. One of these parks is situated in Wilkes County. It is the Rendezvous Mountain State Park near Purlear. Re cently the Civilian Conservation Camp constructed a road to the park but there is yet much that can be done in the way of development. There Ss a growing sentiment in . North Carolina in favor of more and better state parks and further develop ment of the historic Rendezvous would be an ideal project of this type. To those who may be unaware of the fact, the Great Scenic Parkway will be within less than eight miles of Rendez vous Mountain if it is located on the » route recently flagged by engineers. truck trail has been constructed tyom the Rendezvous along the main ride formation to the Blue Ridge. Sijjice the parkway plan^ call for branchy-trails to i points of scenic interest alo^ the route it should be possible to an all-wea ther trail from the parJsSvay to the sum- - mit of the Rend^z^^ous. Anyway, the idea is w^ort^i-tinnking about. It is right and it borders on the ^ous for us to neglect keeping A Needed Project State highway and public works commis sion has sent to Washingtm plans for grading and surfacing five miles of the Elkin-North Wilkesboro road between Honda and Elkin. It is hoped that the project will be approved and that the state commission may let contract at an ^ly date. . The road is badly needed. A glance at «a road map will show a great portion of Wilkes county that does not have an im proved highway. All of the northeastern section of Wilkes does not have a modem highway and the winter season almost makes the residents of a vast area of our county shutins. From the Boone Trail leaving Wilkes on the east at Cycle to number 18 leaving Wilkes at the north at Laurel Springs we have a third of the county without a hardsurfaced highway and the county roads are in bad shape. The Elkin-North Wilkesboro highway ivill penetrate this territoiy by furnishing a road through one side of it and giving the people along the Yadkin and vicinity a direct highway to North Wilkesboro on the west and Elkin on the east, also serv ing two central communities. Roaring River and Honda, on the route. We understand there has been quite a controversy over the location of the road and we are not beginning to attempt to side with any of those who want it at any one place. We want the road for the territory as a whole and care nothing about whose front door it passes. When that road is constructed we sin cerely believe that a movement should be launched to get a highway that will tra verse the northeastern part of the coun ty in the neighborhood of Traphill. 'There aie good communities in that section of the county and good people who have dif ficulty in getting about in their automo biles. -They deserve something better than the crooked, steep and rough trails they have to travel over. The road tax comes from the man who is more than a half score miles from a hard sur faced road just the same as the man on the side of a boulevard. Sunday School Lesson By REV. CHARLES E. DUNN THK HOME Lesson for December 23rd. Luke 2:S-19. Golden Text; Luke 2:14. The home is the most fundamental of insti tutions, the seat of family life without which the human race would perish. Moreover it is our chief civilizing influence, the center of religion, of education, and of the fine arts. There is no blessing comparable to the herit age of a Christian home with spiritually-mind ed pareiit.s. “Wherever a true wife .-omes,'’ wrote Rus- kin, “home is always round her. The stars only may be over her head; the glow-worm in the night-cold gras.s may be the only fire at her foot; hut home is yet wherever she is; and for a noble woman it stretches far round her.’’ Such a home, tiie creation of a pure- minded, devoted mother, is Immortalized by Burns in “The Cotter’s Saturday Night,’’ and by Whittier in “Snowbound.” It was the nurs ery of all our famous Presidents. One thinks of that sacred shrine, the birthplace of Wash ington at Bridges Creek, and of Mary Ball, his beautiful and cultivated mother. And one remembers, too, Lincoln’s tribute to her who bore him. “All that I am or hope to be,” he said, “I owe to my angel mother.” Now the Bible occupied a foremost place in the old-fashioned home of our fathers. Indeed there was a time when the Holy Scriptures, except for a favored few, constituted the only household book. How our ancestors read it and loved it: Their reverence for the Good Book reminds us of Jesus Himself, who was cer tainly thoroughly versed in the sacred books of Judaism, due doubtless to careful instruc tion by Mary and Joseph in the intimacy of their simple Nazarene home. The Christmas season Is an appropriate time in which to remind ourselves of- the ab solute necessity of preserving those abiding principles and sanctions upoii~ which enduring home life must b§ h'Ait. Seeking to reach the stratosphere in a heavier-than-air machine, Wiley Post offers hope that an answer may be given to the peren nial question, “How high is up?”—Hartford Daily Courant. A Boy Scout bugler in the block is bad enough, but think of living below an eight- year-old Italian soldier practising the manual of arms.—Des Moines Register. Being a poor bridge-player, we can’t tell the Democratic majority how to play its hand,- but we can repeat the warning that it is vulner able.—Dallas Morning News. f^ Wuhlogton, Dec. 17,- reaching and extensive-~|oresf plan was made public today! by the United States forest servloe in conneklon with the report of the natural resources board to the President today. The plan was prepared by the forest serv ice and co-operating agencies of the .national resources board. A public forest area of 8,412,- 000 acres is proposed for North Carolina. Since there Is now.on ly 774,000 acres in the forest re serves of the state the recom' mendatlon means the acquiring of 7,638,000 additional acres. Of this area, 96,000 would be owned iby counties and eannei- palities, 902,000 by the' eUte government and 7,414 by the federal government. The forest service proposes that 6,185,000 acres be pnt In to “intensive” forest use, 2,032,- 000 In "extensive” use and 1,- 195.000 taken over on a “protec tive’’ basis. This proposal of expanding the forest areas ties in with the ad ministration program to take BUbmarginal lands out of cultiva tion and prpvide an adequate livelihood lor the people now re siding on these lands. The forest service estimates that a family of five can live comfortably off of 200 acres of forest land under “intensive’’ care. This means do ing everything possible to in crease the quantity and quality of timber on the lands such as planting, thinning, trimming and preventing destruction by fires. The extensive areas are regarded as not suitable for the growing of timber as an occupation. Under the proposed forest pro gram the majority of the land to be purchased is in the western portion of the state and along the coast. The counties in which appreciable proportions of the 7.638.000 acres are situated are: Stokes, Surry, Montgomery, Moore, Anson, Caswell, Person, Orange, Bladen, Brunswick, Craven, Carteret, Tyrell, Dare, Camden and Pasquotank. Princi pal forest areas not located In the state are west of Ruther ford. ’The forest service estimated that the land proposed for the new forest areas could be pur chased at an average price of $4.50 an acre. 3umMt News " SUMMIT, Deo. 17 Bealiears, of PursoOTfllfl, fUtetfl hto regular appointment at Tel-" low Hill %ttqr^ and Sunday.

She said she much preferred "my Army bonnet” to the mod ern “postage stamp” hats, add ing, “I would back my uniform against some of the present styles of dress—and my bonnet against some of the bats worn in New York and elsewhere, the size of a postage stamp.” She revealed she had received a proposal of marriage from a man in Chicago, who asked her: "I think the time is come when you should seriously consider marriage.’’ The grey-haired general re plied: “I have—that’s the reason I am single.’’ Motor Sonrico Store Ninth Street North Wilkesboro, N.
