Johnson, Producing a snapshot from
his pocket, Talbot passed the photo

ing them to identify the person in the
picture, taken not many years ago.
A fairly good percentage of the club
members indicated they were able to .. ,,, .
identify the picture. One of those un- P'-^vention. His duties are

RETURNING FROM CANADA
this week. James Boyd brought with
him a story of democracy in Canada
told him by Leonard W. Brockington,
director of publicity for the Canadian
Government:
"I came back to Canada,” Mr.
Brockington said, speaking of his re
turn from England, "wondering what
was going' to happen when war was
declared. I found exactly what I had
hoped. By the free choice of a free
people in a free Parliament a unan
imous decision was given to stand by
the side of England and of France.
"I say ‘unanimous’ there was one
exception. There was one man who
voted to abstain from war. He was
honoured because he did. He was a
man who had been a pacifist all hia
life; he declined to depart from his
principles on that occasion. There was
an aftermath which, to me, has always
appeared a wistful illustration of the
kind of democracy that we treasurer in
Canada. We had, as you know, a yen-
eral election a few months ago. The
ONE BRIEF, BUT HEARTFELT,
indication of the appreciation of sol
diers for the hospitality of Southern
Pines residents was a letter received
this week by one family who had en
tertained a soldier over the week-end
The letter said:
' It's people like you and .your fam
ily who keep up the spirits of the
soldiers of today. May God bless you
and the family and keep you all in
health.”

PUBLIC SPEAKING
riA'B SEAL SALE
To the Editor:
From year to year the members of
the Mt. Holly Home Demonstration
Club look forward to the selling of
Christmas seals in our Club and Com
munity. Heretofore we have had
strong competition through the school
children.
We appoint a chairman to look
after the sale, usually the Health
Committee or some interested person.
She gets her supplies, the amount
that .she thinks she can sell, from
the County Chairman. In order to
reach all our members we announce
Hhead of time that at our December
club meeting they will have the op
portunity to buy seals and to come
prepared to do so. Each member is
asked to buy some If only a few. At
the meeting the chairman makes a
short talk and explains the fact that
75 per cent of the money realized
from the sale is kept right here in
our own county and used on our T.
B. patients and the other 20 and five
per cent goes to the State and na
tional organizations.
Last year we invited Mrs. Cheat
ham to our club meeting. She gave us
the straight facts of how they cared
for and treated the patients with the
seal money until they could enter
the sanatorium. She also told of how
the work was helping to lower T. B.
Trouble in the County.
If We don't sell all our seals at
the club meeting we try to sell what
we can in the community.
Out of this sale the women derive
a lot of good as well as pleasure. W'ei
know we are helping a great cause, j
that, of helping some person afflict
ed with the dreadful T. B. and not
financially able to get the proper
treatment. We know our help is go
ing straight to that person. The spir
it shown in onr .'leal sale creates an
atmosphere of cooperation in carry
ing o\it the splendid standards set up
by our club. We beronie stronger
united in our club work by the very
fart that we are putting our heads
and pocket books together and help-
ine pu.sh over one of the greatest and
best campaigns put on in onr County.
It i.s the unity of love and fellow.ship.
the desire to help others that brings
satisfaction to our hearts when the
sale is ended. Throughout the coming,
year when T. B. patients are receiv
ing the benefit of our efforts it is
gratifying to know we did our part
when we had the chance.

Health Chairman Alt. Holly Home
