CHRISTMAS COMES TO AUNT SYLVIA Below Southern Pines lives an old colored woman, suffering with an incurable disease. Aunt Sylvia belongs to a passing race. 5he has been the Mammy of many a child, color not respect ed. When she was a lot young er than she is today, she formec the habit of adopting children. As her ward grew up and was able to fend for itself, she en couraged another unfortunate to seek shelter under her ample wing. Aunt Sylvia’s wingspread was wide and comforting, as she weighed around 300 pounds. With that, she not only had a heart that was geared for her huge framework, but for her job. She was a superior negress. Her holdings were above the av erage at one time. Through in dustry, she acquired a piece of ground and a comfortable home. As health failed, her possessions dwindled. In order to guard her belongings when bedridden, the old woman and a little girl mov ed their chattels, and this in cluded the cat and the coal pile, into one room. Time hasn’t been able to give the last child-by- adoption enough of years so far, to offset the load put upon its shoulders, so necessity simpli fied things. The housekeeping and the nursing job have been cut down until there is nothing left to cut. Aunt Sylvia mothered white children too. She helped raise whole broods of them. In her white household she ruled with stern authority. She taught her charges not only many of the gentle graces as only her sable hand could instill, but a few of the finer philosophies. And then came Christmas. A trio of her white children went to see her. Joy shone on the cinnamon colored face. Boxes were deposited by her bed. She covered her head and the blan ket heaved up and down over the expansive bosom. She was ad- A PCJPULAlil PuNWHMfM’ roa PfTTy TMtrT IN CHINA l4 TO THE eUlPR'T uvfAR A WOOOpN "HOR^f fOllAR UPON WHICH l» PRlNTfP THE NATURE Of CRIME CO.^mitteO — .wiTFAP Of THl TO WAlk about IN Pi/»HC '(AfSyMS MU I ojf a»LOftFUi ‘ipeot 0^ fOUNO AMfRifA orr tmF 4TRCN6 0P0« Of vanuia ‘’"W'iT about /IN THe PA«T If yfAM, a^OTOi* VeHIClE LICENSE FEE# ANP GA40LINE TAXe^ HAVE RI^FN 722 pef cesT VfOLlTf WERE cyaivATEP^xfi.u4iveLy rOR FOOD IN EUROPE,IN a^EOiEVAL TIA^E^ chopped violets were rON^IPEWP A OPLlCACy - GRAINS Cf SAND Happy and Prosperous New Year the Niagara news sent In by our cor respondent, J.

Camp Jackson Men Thank Local Merchants Appreciate Christmas Gifts and Services Arranged by Resi dents of Southern Pines • ' I Editor, The Pilot: | The gentlemen who have so faith fully been serving Camp Jackson for some years desire to express, on behalf of the 89 men in the camp, the guards, and Captain Jackson, all their appreciation to the following storekeepers in Southern Pines for their generosity in donating the ar ticles that so greatly enhanced the glad season at the camp on last Sun day afternoon: Blue & Worsham, Dorn’s, Pender’s, Knowles. Patch and Son, the A. & P., and the Bur ney Hardware, Aberdeen. j Those gentlemen made it possible ' for the men in the camp to receive candies, nuts, oranges, and apples, and each a white handkerchief, a real flag of truce. | The presentation of those articles' followed a very inspirational Christ mas service under the guidance of Rev. M. M. Adams, and D. H. Tur ner with a very excellent sermon by the Rev. Edward E. Bradley, whose wife, by the way, had suggested that something should be done to carry the Christmas spirit into the hearts of the men in the camp The pleasure of the occasion and tha whole sei-vice was greatly heigh tened by the singing of a number of carols by a group of young ladies of the junior choir of our Baptist church, and under the chaperonage of Mrs. Minnie J. Dodge, Mrs. D. H. Turner and Mrs. Harold Fowler. This Christmas service followed a real feast, given also to the men by Captain Jackson, consisting of the best of everything with the prop er fixings Captain Jackson expressed himself as wishing there might be a Christ mas, aaad such a good time, once a month. Mention should also be made of the treat given the inmates of the Coun ty Home. Prepared by the ladies of our Baptist church and presented in the same afternoon by the ladies mentioned, and by Rev. M. M. Adams and D. H. Turner. —Camp Jackson Boys.

There may be some fool ishness committed in the name of the great holiday, but the basic influence that underlies the whole scheme is the consid erate word that is passed from changes which have taken place, to exi*l.\in townsend in the Exchange.

Big gifts, hand with the SEC, m an at- little gifts, messages of cordial I tempt to work out and •’jterp et greetings and cheer have been ^^e provi.sions of the Holding enchanged throughout the entire civilized world as millions put forth an effort to extend the reign of joyousness. Aunt Sylvia and her two-bit pardner are hovering about as near the zero line as a pair can possibly get, and yet not be submerged, and her heart over flows with thanksgiving! It took an old saint like Aunt Sylvia to point out that appreciation has no standard rule of measure ment. Unto every man is given a different yardstick. —H.K.B. WHEN REALITY SUPPLANTS POLITICS There has been an “encourag ing 'improvement in the rela tions between government and business,” with business execu tives and government officials working together as co-trustees with “neatly balanced judgment and discretion.” That isn’t the opinion of a business spokesman. It is the opinion of William O. Douglas, Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission—one of the most important federal bu reaus. Mr. Douglas singled out the New York Stock Exchange for especial praise. In his own words, “Go back five years; I doubt if any one could have predicted the fundamental Company Act in a sound, order ly and constructive manner. American industry has definite ly proven its willingness to join \vith officials of government in an effort to solve mutual prob lems in the interest of all con cerned, when government is will ing to approach the problem realistically rather than politi cally. Great credit for this must go to the SEC. It is one of the few government bureaus which, in Mr. Douglas’ phase, has insist ed on the employment of actual facts, not untenable theories, “as the keystone to many of our achievements.” If all bureaus show'ed a similar fair and pro gressive spirit we would likely hear no more about “warfare” between government and busi ness—and the march of eco nomic recovery would be tremen dously accelerated.
