And it came to pass' in these days, that
: here went out a decree from Caesar Augustus,
hat all the world should be taxed. And this
taxing was first made when Cyrenius was gov
ernor of Syria, And all went to be taxed, cverv
file into his own city.
And Joseph also went up from (ialilee, out
') the city of Nazareth, into Judaea -unto the
city of David, which is called Ilethlehom, to be
'axed with Mary, his espoused wife, being great .
with child.
And so it was. that, while they were the-',
'tie days were accomplished that she should be
delivered, and she brought forth her lirst born
on. and wrapped him in swaddling riot hi s and
aid him in a numgor. because there .was u i
room for t hem in t he inn.
A lid l.lloi t IV ill I lie (!. roUlltlV shop-

Vheir flock by night, and lo. the angel of th'
'Lord came rpon them and the glor of I lie .Lord
shown around alio ut them; and they were sore'
'".afraid. The angel said unto them, fear not;
'or I bring you good tidings of great joy, which
shall lie to all people, for unto von is born
this day in the city of David, a Saviour which
is ( hrist, the Lord. And this shall be a sign
unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in
swaddling clothes lying in a .manner.
And suddenlv there was .villi the angel a
multitude of the heavenly hosts praising Cod
and saving, diorv to. Cod on the Highest, and on
earth pi ace, Rood will toward men. And it came
o pass as the angels were gone awav lrom them
into heaven, the sheplu'rds said one to another,
let us now go even unto llethlehem. and sc.
this thing which is come to pass, which the
Lord hath made known unto us
Anil thev came with haste, and lotiud .Maiv
and Joseph and the babe Ivmg in a manner and
when they had seen it, they made known abroad
'he sayings which was told them concerning this
child. And all they: that heard it wondered at
'hose things which were told them by the shep
herds, but Mary kept ail these things, and pen.
it red t hem in her heart.
And the ..shepherds rei tinted, glori fy ing and
praising liod for all the things that they had
leard and seen;, as it was told unto them-,.

AN OPEN LETTER
Dear Santa Claus :
Realizing that tilings have not picked up
a- fast at the North Pole as they have down
here, we are not asking for very much this year,
at least not for things that will cost much but
for things that will mean a lot to this communi
ty. First, we want only one Chamber of Com.
inorre in Waynes ville. As you know there are
two organizations here now tryi" to carry on
the work that should be done by one.
Second, we not only want, but need a rec.
national center for our yourrg jieople to spend
their time other than places of questionable
reputation. If there is anything vou can do to
help the Legion Building and gym. we urgently
request that you do it.
Third, here is a request that may sound
far fetched, but we need in Haywood County a
county-wide organization for the purpose of
educating the people against the cost and folly
f crime and for (lie preservation of law and
order.
Com t h, there has not been much said about
this particular thing, but if you have an extra
one you might bring it along an air port. We
aie right next to the park and afford an ideal
location for a landing field for planes that will
eairy passengers over the peaks in the park. . .
Wishing for you a safe and successful trip
t his year, we remain.
Very truly yours.
The Community.
I'.S. Please don't wear your usual red sui.
this year, we've seen enough red during the
past three vears.
