Public opinion - will' demand adequate
recreational facilities, including a lighted
athletic park in North Wilkesboro Md
athletic fields and gymnasiums for high
schools v^thout these facilities.
There will be expanded programs for
Boy and Girl Scouts extending to every
central community in the county. There
will be increases in teacher salaries to
keep the good teachers from leaving the
profession and to entice more capable
young people into teaching.
The year 1947 looks good from here,
but none of the anticipated objectives can
be reached in lethargy and idleness. The
year will be what the people, individually
and collectively, make of it.
The New Year
The Journal-Patriot takes this oppor
tunity to wish every reader a most happy
and prosperous New Year.
The curtain will fall tomorrow night on
the year 1946, which has been momen
tous in the history of the world.
During the year now drawing to a close
the nations of the world have been dig
ging out from the debris pf a second
World War.
But perhaps of more significance have
been the global efforts to frame an or
ganization which will assure peace for
the world.
And if the peace of the world can be
secured, prosperity will follow in its wake.
With the nations of the world at peace
■we can e.xpect economic progress as nev
er before witnessed in the historj" of the
world.
The people of America have every rea
son to look forward to 1947 with happy
anticipation.
The coming frear should mark the end
to serious shontages which have been as
a millstone about the neck of progress

Universal Service
American Red Cross hospital workers
in veterans’ hospitals in this country are
getting used to receiving strange requests
from the hospitalized men. But a recent
episode topped them all. It seems a hos
pital worker asked a young patient the
customary holiday question, “What do
you want for Christmas?” Expecting the
usual answer of a blonde, a furlough, or
even a discharge, the worker was totally
unprepared for the answer she received.
“I have a 4 months’ old son whom I’ve
never seen, and I’d like nothing better
than to hold a 4 months’ old boy in my
arms for just a few moments,” was the
amazing reply. That very afternoon a
voung woman walked into the Red Cross
building with a pink bundle in her arms.
Seeing her, the worker approached and
learned that the baby was exactly 4
months old. When she heard the novel
Christmas wish lexpressed by the young
soldier, the monher offered to loan her
baby and the soUdier was asked to come
to the building, pe reached eagerly for
fee baby when me saw it. Right away he
boy’s name?” The mo
ther quickly replied, “Johnny.” After
rocking the baby for a few minutes he
handed it back and smilingly said, “That
was a nice Christmas present.” It is hoped
that he never learns that “Johnny” was
really “Mary Jane.”

BURIED TALENTS
There are many buried talents
In the lives .of men today.
Which could be a gracious blessing
If the owners would but say:
“Take my talents, blessed Master,
Which today I hold in store;
Use them for the good of others;
They are Thine forever more.”
Some whose talents now are hidden,
Maybe ’neath some sin and shame.
Might uplift and bless their fellows.
And climb up the hills of fame.
If they’d only yield to Jesus
All they have and all they are.
Knowing as they do His bidding
No one’s life He’ll ever mar.

the' after-ChriStmae let-down we
are led to wonder why we
should not dig but the ones made
last year, because they- have not
been used. However, there Is one
that has not paid off to date,
and which we kept faithfully. We
resolved to be honest In coffee
Club matching and that has cost
money. --
We resolve In the coming year
not to rib the police unmerci
fully, because they have done a
fine Job, especially in getting
rid of double parking. However,
that is going to make it difficult
on our job. FV)r the past few
years when we ran out of any
thing to write we could always
sit down and write a column a-
bout the evils of double parking
in North Wllkesboro. It was al
ways a good subject, and always
worth a column or more just any
old day. All we had to do to get
material was to take one fast
look down the street. Some day,
just to fill space, we might take
a fling at placing the city hall
on a street of the town which la
now seriously needed to loosen
up the local traffic situation.
After all, we do grow up some
times, and you can’t keep
good town down.
Much opposition has developed
to placing parking meters on the
streets, and we are not getting
into that argument. We might
pause to point out that parking
meters should be very profitable.
Slot pachlne players will always
be trying to hit the jackpot, and
they’ll have just about as much
chance getting a jackpot out of
the meters as they do the out
lawed slot machines which flour
ish so well in joints around the
Wllkesboros.
