Will Stovall, Ek Southern and
Jerry Baker —a trio of rough,
f gruff farmers, called on us to
• day.
' The day was cold, the white
frost lingered on the meadow,
f and the north wind growled
through the thicket. Some of
them wore overalls, and had not
bought a new hat for the
winter.
f But Shakespeare says clothes
W 1 do not make the man. Many a
white, honest heart beata i
through blue denimn.
But this three —have you ever
been to see them. Thoy live at
home, with wide acres, bulging
grain bins and fat corn criba.
of them this fall has killed
more meat than they could ever
ufce without inviting in the
neighbors to help eat it up. Each
one of them could buy a broad-
cloth suit for Christmas, if he
wanted it, also a high top
Stetson hat.
The Reporter man has been
to each one of these Stovall,
k Southern and Baker homes.
Therqt he found nothing except
plenty, -kindness and welcome.

CHRISTMAS
' 'on marvel at the power and in
f.-ence of Christmas on the masses.
Why is December 25 the outstanding
holiday, the soul-stirring festival?
The answer is simple:
Christmas has a meaning- as bright
as the sunrise, as deep as the ocean, as
wide as humanity, as all-embracing as
the universe.
Christmas is ths birthday of the
MAN who proclaimed to the world that
he was able and willing to save them
from the effects of their folly, and this
without money or price.
Wise men came out of the East and
worshipped, and the shepherds saw the
star beaming above the Bethlehem hills.
They came and saw and rejoiced.
Countless millions of wise men and
women have since followed this star of
hope, which has led them on.
There are those who say this is a
Hebrew myth, but they are able to of
fer nothing else to supplant it. The
judgment of the centuries has endorsed
it. The power of its rays has up
raised and overthrown empires. Its
influence has turned the course of
history.
And today we celebrate it, nineteen
centuries later. The theme of its oc
casion is GIVING, after the example of
the Messiah's gift to the world of Him
self.
The meaning of giving is, simply to
make others happy. Only in this way
can we be happy ourselves.
Those who find no pleasure in giv
ing are those who have gained the
world but lost their own souls. They
may find their counterpart in Charles
Dickens' Scrooge.
You may hold to your substance till
the habit of hold is fixed in your
character and grappled to your soul.
Hold, and tomorrow you die. and then—
the distributing process, while you are
quickly forgotten.
The onlv thincs we can keep are
those we give away.
Ever think about that?

Mr. N. E. Pepper, Editor
The Danbury Reporter
Danburv, N. C.
Dear Mr. Pepper:
I have read with a great deal
of interest your very fine Edi
torial appearing in the Novem
ber 26 issue of the Reporter
I concerning National defense, and
I hasten to let you know that the
I veterans of this country are ii.
deed proud to salute men 1"
| you; men who are broad enough
to know and appreciate that
; adequate National defense does
not necessarily encourage war.
Rather, it discourages war to the
1 extent that if we are adequately
1 prepared and those who woul.l
become our enemies know it they
will certainly not be as free to
invade our shores as would be
the case in unpreparedness.
This organisation, composed
exclusively of America's overseas
i veterans, despises the theory of
( pacifism and we believe it to be
a dangerous threat to the future
; security and safety of America.
We contend that we must hav®
a national defense on land, on
. tho high seas, and in the air
I adequate at all times to preserve'
our neutrality and command the'
j respect of other nations for 1
American principles. We would
not think of doing away with
our law enforcement officers in
our towns, cities and counties in
!an effort to reduce lawlesness,
| and the same principle applies
I to this country as a nation.
I sincerely hope you may see
fit to continue your articles in
support of national defense, and
with expressions of my high re
gard, believe me
Very truly yours,
O. N. BROWN.
Department Commander.

Wars, Dept. of North

The editorial of Nov. 26, which
Capt. Brown refers to, is reprint
ed as follows:
WAR INSURANCE
Pacifists object to naval an 1!
army appropriations. Their co>i-j
tention is that America should i
scrap her navy and disband her
army. This would set a beaut i
i
ful example of peace to the
world.
I' * i
Pacifists should be confined i>i
;a quiet asylum for the harm! -

History shows that the peace
ful peoples and the unprotected

, prey of ruthless imperialism.
