Farmers' Day Was
Highly Successful
Farmers' Day here Tuesday was a high
ly successful event in that it accomplish
ed its purpose, which is to provide a day
of entertainment and celebration in honor
of the farming people of Wilkes county.
A large crowd was here to enjoy the
many events, and what is more important,
the crowd was not disappointed, because
there was entertainment for all. The pa
rade was highly successful from the stand
point of number of units, variety and in
teresting subjects. The entertainment con
tests and stunts were well carried out un
der the direction of Tom Jenrette, able
secretary-manager of the Chamber of Com
merce.
'I
Address of Former Governor J. M.
Broughton in the afternoon was of parti
cular interest to farmers and was well re
ceived. The string band concerts by Don
Walker and his Blue Ridge Boys were
highly pleasing to the crowd.
The Trade Promotion Committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, sponsor of the
event, was fortunate in being able to ob
tain the Mount Airy high school band for
the parade. Because schools had not start
ed, it was very difficult to obtain a band.
The Mount Airy students under direction
of Howard Emde performed well and ad
ded much, to the enjoyment of the oc
casion.
The National Guard with equipment
formed a specially interesting section of
the parade and the battery's units of equip
ment on display following the parade cre
ated much interest. This was the first pub
lic appearance of the battery formed here
only a few months ago and which has
already been recognized as one of the
most efficient units of the National Guard
in the State.
The Trade Promotion Committee, of
which W. G. Gabriel is chairman, deserves
much credit for the success of the event.
Hubert Canter and Gilbert Bare were co
cairmen for the Farmers' Day, with L. S.
Spainhour parade chairman. The success
of all phases of the event is a credit to
each and to all their assistants.
First Year Baseball
Asset To Community
This week rang down the curtain on
the first year of professional baseball for
this community. Only a few years ago,
any talk otf professional baseball here
would have been dream language. Com
ing of pro ball means that the towns and
surrounding community are growing, and
it also means that sufficient interest in
community recreation is here to make it
self-sustaining.
The professional team in the Blue Ridge
League played 73 games here since spring
training started, including spring training,
regular season and playoffs. That number
represents that many events of community
recreation during which leisure time was
spent by crowds in a wholesome manner.
That represents great value to the com
munity.
The team finished second in the league
race, which is indeed a major accomplish
ment for a first year team which was or
ganized when other teams already had
the best players under contract. The team's
owner, Tal J. Pearson, Business Manager
Larry Moore and Playing Manager Henry
Lowman did a herculean task in assemb
ling baseball talent in a short time and
rounding it into a winning team for North
Wilkesboro's first year in organized base
ball. Had it been possible for them to have
started on the task early last winter their
success could have been complete.
Professional baseball brought to North
Wilkesboro valuable addition to Memorial
Park in the form of grandstand, dressing
rooms, steel fence, baseball playing field,
i and adequate seating capacity for both
I baseball and football. These costly im
provement are worth * much to the com
munity.
It was also proved that when given an
opportunity, our citizenship, young and
old, prefer wholesome recreation.. As the
season progressed, the support of the team
by attendance of fans grew until the fu
ture of professional baseball look good
for the community. ?
-THE
EVERYDAY
COUNSELOR
By Rev. Herbert
Spaugh, D. D.
Are we going to keep Christ and Christ
mas this year? You may think this is too
early to be talking about Christmas cards,
but the manufacturers of these cards are
already sending out samples for pale and
distribution. An article in the New York
World Telegram of August 3rd gave a
preview of some of these new cards:
"Ah, but the new cards. Fifteen sam
ples of Christmas joy, cherrynose gnomes
helping St. Nick, the traditional, happy
feast! Firt, The Three Wise men' and 'An
gel' by S?D?.
The Angel has no head, but wait! YOU
mentally for the face by manipulating
a flock of birds descending upon the car
cass! Wings! They're snowy, mountain
peaks. The figure at the left, like the An
gel, strums a sort of banjo.
What manner of ferofcious, drooling
beasts do the 'Three Wise Men' ride? And
the Star of Bethlehem is an orthodox prim.
Frankincense, gold and myrrh may by the
[ wise men's cargo. Only D? can tell.
El G?'s offering, the index says, is
'The Annunciation'! On wispy clouds an
other 'Angel' heralds Christendom's most
sacred event. The Angel, stern-faced, has
arms like GarGantua. The figure with
the halo expresses utmost sadness."
So plans for Christmas have already
commenced. Last year we saw a great
growth in Christmas parades in the towns,
with huge baloons made in the figures of
prehistoric monsters.
Where is all this ridiculing of one of the
world's most sacred events going to end?
The excerpt from the New York World
Telegram quoted above refers to the 1948
Christmas cards produced by one of the
biggest commercial greeting manufactur
ers in the country.
This column in advance of Christmas is
an appeal to all of our readers to join in
a volunteer movement to "help re-estab
lish the true meaning of Christmas." It
is &n appeal to the merchants who spon
sor these Christmas parades, which they
are already planning, to put into them
more of the true meaning of Christmas
and advoid these pagen distortions which
in reality ridicule the Holy Christmas sea
son. It is an appeal to those who are plac
ing their orders for Christmas cards that
they resolve to buy and promote those
cards which emphasize the TRUE mean
ing of Christmas. This does not mean that
they all have to contain scripture texts.
But if Cristmas is a religious festival, and
no one can deny that as its origin, special
ly in a Christian nation, then the religious
and Christ emphasis should be foremost.
One large church publishing house has
resolved to try to counteract this anti
Christ propaganda at Cristmas time with
the preparation of religious, CHRESTmas
greeting cards. These are to be sold thru
church organizations only. The name of
this company will be supplied upon re
quest.
May we resolve early this year to keep
the Christ in Christmas. Never'did we
need more the Prince of Peace in the
world than today. Won't you help when
all of theN Christian principles which stem
from Christ and Christmas are under at
tack throughout the world. You can do
your part.
