North Carolina Tex tile Industry Goes All Out For America’s War Effort Toward the goal of ultimate and complete Victory—one of the most notable contributions is be ing made by the North Carolina Textile Industry. Labor-Management amity has reached a very satisfactory state—and the few disputes have been mediated with common sense and to the ■satisfaction of all workers and employers in volved. . Government contracts are be ing filled with speed hitherto unknown in the industry and the ARMY-NAVY E flies proudly over quite a few smoke-stacks. The HONOR ROLL of the Treasury Department is com posed of over a dozen large mills in our state—meaning that the employees as well as the man agement are BUYING WAR BONDS every week on a syste matic basis. In addition to which, the mills are clothing the armed forces and contributing their own share of workers to the Army, Navy and Marines. The Roll of Em ployees in each mill now in the armed forces is a very represen tative and a very proud plaque in the office of every mill man ager. The North Carolina Textile In dustry and its allied machine and transportation companies can proudly stand shoulder to shoul der with any in our country for a determined all-out effort to the Victory of our nation over its enemies.

I CHRISTMAS GREENS For a great number of people, a house not decorated with Christmas greens would be dull indeed. One expert has pointed out, though, that there need be no fear that there ever will be a shortage of the greens peculiar to the various sections of this nation if proper care is taken in collecting the greenery. But as it is today, wanton de struction in the collection of the Yuletide decorations, so thoughtful ly placed for our use by Mother Nature, has brought about a dan ger that we might not have some of the greens we are so accustomed to. There is a danger that the Ameri can holly, in southern Atlantic coast states, and the laurel plants of the mountainous country of the East, will both face extermination unless some organized method of harvest ing is brought about. Three other Christmas decorative plants that are rapidly disappearing because of new, and increased de mand, are the winterberry, the ground pine, and the bittersweet. To a large extent these plants can be saved if the nation turns to the use of evergreen boughs, such as cedar, pine, hemlock and spruce. For a touch of color, artificial red berries could well be used. The story of our over commercial ization is always connected with the background of the dissipation of our native plant life without regard to future stock. Some form of protec tive law has to be put into effect to protect the quickly disapr'sring greenery. Restriction or pronibitioa in certain areas seems to be uta coming necessity to save them. Santa's Helpers These two youngsters, Uke thou sands of others, are doing their part in helping the Red Cross be Santa both here and abroad. Medieval Rulers Enjoyed Huge Christmas Dinners Calculation of the Christian era is usually credited to Dionysius Exi geus in the Sixth century. However, he was somewhat in error, as it is believed Jesus was born before what was January 1, in A. D. 1. The phrase Anno Domini (year of our Lord), of which A. D. is the ab breviation, was believed to have been first used in 1219. School for Sana Last year at Buffalo, N. Y., a night school to train raw recruits into a crop of finished Santa Clauses was opened. The time may come when every jovial, red-garbed street comer bell-ringer’s whiskers mask a Bachelor of Santa Claus Psychol ogy.
