United Christian
Service Fund Aids
Families In Need
Letters went out last week,
signed by Mrs. James W. Tufts,
chairman of the United Christian
Service Fund, and by vice chair
man, Mrs. Eric Nelson, as the
organization goes into high gear
in its program of help for needy
families at Christmastime.
A joint effort of the Pinehurst
Village Chapel and the Communi
ty Church, the UCSF operates not
only at Christmas, but the holi
day appeal enables the group to
meet emergencies throughout the
year, such as loss by fire or lack
of work for caddies during bad
weather.
A committee representing both
churches purchases and pacte
boxes with food, clothing and
toys, which are delivered just be
fore Christmas to those in need.
The organization requests that
donations of clothing be taken to
the Village Chapel between 10
and' 12 on weekday mornings.
New or used toys should be
left at the Fire Station, or fire
men will pick them up on request.
The firemen each year mend and
refurbish used toys for the Christ
mas boxes.
Those wishing to contribute
money are asked to mail checks
to Frank R. Wells, treasurer,
these to be made payable to the
Pinehurst Religious Association
or to the Community Church,
Checks so drawn are tax exempt.
Committee advisors are the
Rev. R. L. Prince and the Rt. Rev.
Louis C. Melcher. Mrs. Duwayne
Gadd is secretary and committee
members include Leonard Tufts,
Mrs. Arthur Lacey, Mrs. John

TEEING OFF WITH deNISSOFF
\
Brisk Business
With the movie classic “A Tale
of Two Cities” set for showing
Wednesday at the Sunrise Thea-.
tre, the Dickens’ book on which
the cinema was based was doing
a brisk “in and out” business
at the Southern Pines Library
last week.
The late Ronald Coleman, who
had the juicy role of Sidney Car
ton in the screen version of Dick
ens’ story of the Fernch Revolu
tion, also read the part of Scrooge
in a recording made several years
ago of the British story-teller’s
unique and wonderful tale, “A
Christmas Carol.”
Too Sophisticated
Coleman’s reading, we felt, was
a little too sophisticated and
watered-down for the richly
characterized “Ebenezer
Scrooge.” Lionel Barrymore,
though American, seemed, in his
annual holiday portrayal, of the
role to be much more “in char
acter.”
We can’t imagine Christmas,
though, without a reading, at
sometime, of the “Christmas
Carol,” and on one strange Christ
mas Eve we spent in Brooklyn,
we were especially glad we had
remembered to tuck a copy of
the book into our luggage.
Involuntary Tribute
The value of the glare of pub
licity which has mercilessly
searched out and exposed every
facet of the public behaviour of
the family and especially of the
widow, of the late President Ken
nedy during and following the
ordeal of his assassination, is per
haps best estimated by the ef
fect it has had on children and
young people.
As an example, last weekend
when we were at dinner, our
younger boy, a first grader this
year, suddenly leaned on the
table and confided to us with
great earnestness, “George Wash
ington was the Father of our
Country, you know.”
Our older son, a high school
i freshman, asked “Who is the
Mother of our country?” And
then, in involuntary tribute, ans
wered his own question—“Jackie
Kennedy.”
selected 12 holes, better ball of
pair contest.
Tied for second, both teams
scoring 18-20-38, were A. J. Clax-
ton and William C. Harris; Dr. E.
M. Medlin and Dr. C. Robert
VanderVoort; and George H.
Leonard, Jr. and John C. Ostrom.
