RALEIGH-Nonh Carolina's
First Family will spend most
of the Christmas holidays In
Raleigh.
fGovernor Bob Scott said die;
family will spend a little time
at their home In Haw River,
however, so the five children
can visit neighborhood friends
and Mrs. Scott can check the
progress of a new room being ,
added to their home on Mel
ville Farms.
Mrs. W. Kerr Scott -- "Miss
Mary" -- the Governor's mo
ther, and his brother, Oaborne,
are expected to Join the fam
ily at the Executive Mansion on
Christmas Eve and spend Ch
ristmas Day there.
Governor Scott said public
appearances will be held to a
minimum and there will be no
entertaining at the Mansion af
ter December 21. No guests,
other than the family, are ex
' pec ted.
Mrs. Scon's relatives "will
visit the Mansion during the
holidays, their first visit to
the Mansion as a group.
The Governor has completed
his Christmas shopping. "I
bought a gift for Jessie Rae,"
he said. "She handles all the
rest."
Mrs. Scott said she had com
pleted her shopping also. The
children were still looking.
The Scotts are, with one ex
ception, sending no Christmas
cards this year. "We are using
the news media to express.pur
season's greetings and best wi
shes for the new year," Gover
nor Scott said. "That way we
don't leave anyone out."
The. exception la ?ervice
clubs and USO's around the
world.**
The Scotts will continue sev
eral family traditions this Ch
ristinas.
The Governor and First Lady
will open their presents to each
other Christmas Eve night. The
children will open theirs Chris
tmas morning.
About mid-morning Christ
mas . Oty, the family will sit
down to a big breakfast of pan
cakes and sausage.
Mrs. Scott said the family
will watch family movies Ch
istmas Eve night.
"We took movies of the twins
on their 1 s t.Christmas and have
continued each year since,"
Mrs. Scott said. "All of us
set a bis laugh out of seeing
the films again.
One tradition the Scotts had
to give up this year was the
cutting of the Christmas tree
on the farm. Their house this
year?the Executive Mansion
was decorated by garden clubs
in Raleigh, including the three
trees which came from three
different sources.
The Scotts usually take axe
in hand and wander over hill
and vale on the farm at Haw
River until they find a cedar
to their liking, then drag it
home and decorate it.
It will be a family-oriented
Christmas for the Scotts. "I
want to spend as much time as
I can with the family while the
children are out of school,"
the Governor said. "We may
take a short trip somewhere."
Governor Scott will spend
part of his holiday preparing
his year report to the people
on his first year in office.
The Governor said he also
plans to catch up on his read
ing. "I 've gotten "way behind
on that during the year," he
said.
Santa's Workshop Is on display at National
Spinning Company in Beulavllle. Santa's
Workshop features Santa and his helpers pre
paring for Christmas. This display is a
delight for children and adults-teaturing mec
hanically operated elves, a toy machine, and

participate in the worship ser

terpreter for the two DEAF
BLIND members. Mr. Sprad

"Tls the season to be jolly,
but not if you're a careless
drinking driver," cautioned Th
omas B. Watkins, president of
the motor club. "The six hol
iday periods so for this year
have brought death to 115 per

ainst 171 for the year before.
"Traffic deaths are still run
ning behind the 1968 pace, land
we have a good chance to show
a decrease for ibis year," he
said, "tit's make our slate ~

Casements
Heighten
6Mod9 Decor
One of the most contempo
rary-styled windows is the
wood casement ? an increas
ingly popular feature in both
single and multi-family homes.
The slim lines and unclut
tered glass areas of wood case
ments reflect and emphasize
modern decor. At the same
time, the window ofTers simple
operation, cleaning ease, good
visibility and maximum venti
lation.
Casements open outward at
a 90-degree angle with the
turn of an easy-to-reach han
dle. This makes them espe
cially practical in awkward
locations ? such as above
kitchen sinks and countertops.
They are available in stock
sizes of ponderosa pine at lo
cal lumber dealers.
