Young Dane Pays
Visit To Couple
Preben Pedersen of Denmark
returned to Norlina on
December 17 and visited with
his many friends here until his
departure on January 9.
Preben stayed with Mr. and
Mrs. G. P. Grissom during this
recent visit.
He made his home with the
Grissoms last year when he was
a student at Norlina High
School under the International
Cultural Exchange program.
While here for the holiday
period Preben celebrated by
attending many parties, by
going caroling with the MYF of
the Norlina United Methodist
Church and by getting in a
hunting trip. Deer hunting is a
favorite treat for Preben.
The trip back to Norlina was
made through great sacrifice
including long hours turning
barrels in a cheese factory to
earn the money for the trip.
Even that job demonstrated his
determination to come back
because Preben hates cheese.

Train Of
Thought
In John Greenleaf Whittier's
"Snowbound" we read
"What riiatter how the night
behaved?
What matter how the northwind
raved?
Blow high, blow low, not all Ha
snow
Could quench our hearth-fire'a
ruddy glow."
Whittier recounts the tale of
how his famiy used the time to
tell again the classic stories of
their reading while the winter
winds and snow held them
inside.
These cold, icy days we've
experienced lately would be
ideal for taking advantage of
the treasury of books at the
Norlina Library. Regular hours
have resumed and the library it
open each afternoon, Monday—
Friday from 3 p. m. to 5 p. m.
and each Saturday from 10 a.
m. to 11 a. m.
A memorial gift has been
given in memory of J. Roy
Overby by Mrs. Miriam T.
Coleman of Warrenton. Kathy
and Mark Powell have given 46
children's books. Several new
paperbacks of assorted titles
have been donated since
Christmas.
The Norlina Library is
growing and this new year of
1977 provides each of you in the
community a new opportunity
to participate in that growth. A
Kood New Year's resolution
would be to read a book a
month in 1977.
families won the affection of
this special young man. He has
commented that he "enjoyed
North Carolina very much and
would like to attend college
here."

Keep Cool, Save
Plant And Energy
There's more than energy
conservation to encourage you
to keep the thermostat turned
down. The plants you may have
around the house this time of
year prefer a cooler temperature
than you might like for
yourself.
Holiday plants do better in
temperatures of around 65 to 68
degrees, according to Henry J.
Smith, extension landscape
horticulturist at North Carolina
State University.
Other suggestions for keeping
plants healthy: Don't
over-water — perhaps the most
common mistake. All foliage
and flowering plants need light
to keep them in good condition.
Plants in poor light become
yellow and spindly. Blooms fade
quickly and fall off. Artificial
lighting during the evening and
moving plants to better lighted
windows will lengthen the
flowering period.
Most homes have hot. dry
atmospheres in winter and this
hastens plant decline.
Bare Christmas Tree
Is Holiday's Skeleton
By BARBARA COOKE
Christmas trees, once glorious
centers of attention, now
lie in bare, dry heaps on the
edges of yards waiting for
garbage trucks.
Holiday foods, once filling
homes with ginger fragrances,
now are stale and gone.
Families, for a time together,
now have scattered on their
separate ways.
The warmth of the Christmas
season has given way to blasts
of January's bitter cold.
Children are doing homework
again.
Businesses have taken down
their decorations. Store clerks
don't wish you a "Merry
Christmas!" or even "Have a

nice day."
Life has returned to routine.
Jeffry Anderson, a psych ia
trist at N. C. Memorial Hospital
in Chapel Hill, was quoted
recently saying "Christmas
definitely has a healing nature."
Let's hope so. As we throw
out what is left over from 1976
let's not throw that out, too.
Let's hang onto the healing
spirit of Christmas and the
renewed spirit of '76 and take it
with us into 1977.
In this new year we can still
count on death and taxes and
disappointments and bills just
as in all the other years. But
this year can be made better.
For 1977 — healing.
