BIBLE The daysprins from on high V gtiide our feet into the way of peace. 'St. Luke 1 :78, 79. If we can kneel as did those me,n of old, Who laid their frankincense and myrrh and gold Before the Christ-child's feet; If we can bring our gift, a grateful heart, Where unkind thoughts and envy have no part, And love dwells, true and deep;, Then in Christ's Birthday we may fully share, And" feel His presence with us, everywhere. ' . . F. R. Christmas and the Children HRISTMAS belongs to the children. Only by be 1 "-V coming children once more may the older and worldier share the joy of childhood in this holy sea son.

Those who die to keep the light shining do not die in children and those who can reclaim their childhood, there will be Christmas and the vision glorious of a world of "men of good will" who will make the dream of "Peace On Earth" come true. - Ready Response ' THE ready response to the Red Cross War Re- lief Fund which came last Saturday shows that no special appeal will be necessary to raise the al lotted quota of $1,500 for this county. The amount is not yet raised- but there is no doubt that it will be. - As each day adds to the number of young men , who are crowding recruiting stations in every county in the land and enlisting for active service in a war which is bound to bring suffering, sacri fice and loss to many, those left on the home front have a greater and greater stake in victory. The American. Red Cross, fittingly named "the greatest Mother of hem all", will be on the ground to serve these boys who are to fight for America's and the world's freedom. Suffering will be alleviated and lives will be saved. Because those "back home" jroJisee to it that the Red Cross is there. Holiday Mountain Echo THE-staff, of the Mountain Echo, Franklin High School's publication, deserves praise for the holiday issue. To our mind t'his is the best of many creditable school magazines that the High School students have produced publication. Mimeographed in red, there is artistic designing in headlines and advertisements. There is versatility and originality, careful composition and witty com ment. There are spicy personals, clever picture uzzles and a whole page of gloom chasers. "Christmas in Many Lands" is a fine feature and the News. iveview worthy of a professional com mentator. In fact, we are taking some notes from our contemporary as we congratulate the editors and "ad" writers. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !

I see the American business meis-s research foundation says that acci dents caused by drivers under the influence of liquor wjll cost auto mobile insurance companies $15,- 000,000 during 1941, This does not apply to numberless cars wrecked that do not have this automobile insurance, The above is not owe per cent the cost of hospital bills, and when jt is shown the lives lost each year money does not compensate ;or human beings. My belief is . any erne in the habit of drinking liquor should be denied a license to drive a car and if caught intoxjeated after having license, then he should have it taken awky before it is too late. JOHN H. THOMAS Poets Corner ruD,lTMl TIMP Christmas time is drawing .nearer, And our hearts are filled wi We are thinking of the Christmas That's been kept from year to year. h was on a evening, That a star shone in the sky O'er a manger in a meadow Where the Holy Child did lie. The shepherds saw " the shining emblem, With its host of sparkling ray ; Then an angel came before ' them, Telling where the Savior lay, . ' if- They left their sheep to graze in stillness, While they walked with hearts of joy To the manger in the stable, To find the little boy. When you give a gift at Christmas, Think of the gift that was given in love To a world of stricken people, To redeem our dying love. By: S ALLY SUE MINCEY. Pupil Franklin High School AMERICA'S WAR I heard the tread of marching feet, 1 heard the drums of glory beat : I saw those rippling banners fly, The American flag beneath the sky, I watched each soldier grave and sad Was it only yesterday they were just a tad r No more their careless pleasures theyll take. The pride of America stands at stake. How long since' planes of war sped, Across the sea where nations bled ? Where is World Peace they sought to gain? Those soldier lads who died in vain, Those boys are mow the forgotten dead. Who sleep where poppies bloom so red. American boys again must trod And fall and die known but to God. America's ways, seem careless and ibold. But somewhere down in a heart of gold. With burdens sometimes too deep to cry, Each citizen stands ready to do or die. Perhaps if dead soldiers speak from the tombr If their ghostly faces pierce the gloom f Theyd whisper, Tight, for the land of the free". J America forever, land of liberty. Mothers with boyt who must go away. Forget not each day to kneel and pray. If loved ones fall beneath the sod. Let's stand united with a loving jOd. Mrs. Leslie Young iffijay, N.
