PAG!TWO tAKtEtEt (COUNTY NTWS-TTutS, Jio!5mUi CITY AND JBfcAtTFoST, N. 3. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1M8- 'W Carierei Coanly Uews-Times ' ' A Merger Of The Beaufort Newi (est. 1912) & The Twin City Times (est. 1936) EDITORIAL PACE There IS a Sanla Claus! Mrs. Annie L. Gaskill, one of our Beaufort readers, told us the other day that she heard a friend of hers say that she (Jidn't believe' there was a Santa Claus and gave as her reason for this belief that "she was perhaps too old." "It seems to me as if age has very little to do, after all, with our feeling and spirit about this hallowed occasion," commented Miss Annie, and we agree with her. She suggested that we print the following excerpt from the "Letter to Virginia," from Frank P. Church, one time editor of the New York Sun, to a little girl who wrote to him asking if there really was a Santa Claus: "Yes . . . there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exii-t, and you know they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light v.ith which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. "No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever, a thousand years from now . . . n?y, ten thousand years from now, lie will continue to make glad the heart of childhood." A Hcarly Handshake lor B. J. May n. J. May, chairman of the Christian Rural Overseas pro gram in Carteret county, did a splendid job. After two tries to obtain someone as chairman of thp com mittee, (the original co-chairmen said they could not serve), Mr. May picked up the ball and carried it for a touchdown. He had a cooperative learn in all the ministers of thp county, the groc erymen. school children nnJ their mothers, but as for engineer ing the details and smoothing over rough spots, which sometimes looked like mountains, the credit goes to Mr. May. In the midst of serving as president of the Beaufort Rotary club, handling his daily work as production marketing adminis trator, and getting ready fcr Santa Claus. he found time to super vise the collection of three thousand dollars worth of food for those across the sea. Work such as he has done leaves us wishing that there were more with his ambition and initiative in our fair county. Thoughts for an open mind... Hear, do not blame what cannot be changed. A fervent and diligent man is prepared for all things. Thoughts arc the means by which For til your days prepare, And meet them ever alike; When you are the anvil, bear, ; When you are the hammer, strike. "One world at a time" has been tried by a good many people and found deceptive. One world at a time is not enough for man, Man is a kind of being that needs two. The spiritual life, though it can never be killed out of the race, is a tender plant which gives its fairest flowers only after careful cul ture. After a man has passed through the halls of learning, he should enter the halls of wisdom. When he has passed through that school he will graduate with his degree as a Master of Com passion.

A tremendous per centage of the letters she wrote for her boss were composed by her, written by her, and merely carried to Scott for his signature. If she has any faults at all, they are of a minor nature. She has always been exceedingly loyal to her boss. In fact, the only criti cism he has ever had of her is that she is "too loyal." By this he meant that her intense loyalty sometimes made her a little im patient and intolerant with those who were sometimes' prone to be slightly critical of Kerr Scott in his outspoken moments, which fre quently amounted to 60 each hour in the day. .

WHAT ABOUT PARKER? Plans call for Charles Parker, who handled Scott's publicity, to be his administrative assistant. As such, he will be a sort of "assist ant Governor" and will draw a salary in this new position of ap proximately $9,000 per year. The new job has not been created, but Scott is expected to ask for it in his inaugural address, which Par ker and Robert W. Redwine are now helping him write. The Advisory Budget Commis sionalthough requested by Seott memo to make financial room for this administrative assistant failed to do so. However, the Leg islature in all probability -will grant the request. Note: Since 1 arker (and Red wine as well) is very close to Broughton, the new U. S. Senator will no doubt have more than just a nodding acquaintance with the Scott administration. SNIDER Gregg Cherry's pri vate secretary, Bill Snider, will carry on as front office man for Scott through the Legislature. There is a job with Burlington Mills waiting for him May .l. There is a chance, however, that he will stay with the Scott administration in some capacity. WAYNICK Capus Waynick, who speaks Spanish and whose wife speaks Spanish, is still hope lul of getting a Truman appoint ment as minister or ambassador to some South American country. He may find, if and when he gets there, that the native language is Portuguese. This should not prove a great handicap since the Spanish -"d Portuguese languages are very similar. 11 ne does not receive this ap pointment, he will run for the U. S. Senate in 1S50. NOTES From this corner it still lcoks like George Coble, the dairyman, ior chairman of the State Highway Commission ... . . . John Barnes of Clayton, E II S 4 0 0 Il; ; mmmmtmtmmmmmmmm who managed R. Mayne- Albright's campaign and Joined Scott for the second Primary, is in line for Claude Abern&tfiy's job with the N. C. Burial Association. Aber i.atliy, a f o. mer Nash county leg islator, was for the, other iman. Barnes may settle for a State Vet erans Admi'iistration appointment. . . . In two speeches last week Scott said that minority groups are not adequately represented on the various boards and commissions. So you may expect to see Negroes made members of some bodies where they have not appeared heretofore. ... At the Good Health Asso ciation meeting' last week the min ister who gave the invocation prayed that Scctt should be given eoursge, etc. . . . This prompted Raloh Scott, Kerr's Burlington brother, to whisper to a friend sit ting near him that such a pi aver was similar to asking the Lord to make it rain in the pcean. HIS HAND Speaking to the , Citizens Association last week, j Kerr Scott said: ! "I know why you are here and why you have me here. You ex- pect me to show my hand. But I am just as determined that I will not show my hand." j However, he showed his hand, but it was closed as in the shape of a fist, for Instance. He referred to his nomination last spring as the "revolution," He mentioned a three-cents gas tax increase. The next day he referred offhand to a possible increase of five cents, al so the possibility of a bond issue. His program will be carried to the people,, he said. If last spring's vote was really a revolution, he should have no. serious trouble with his program. On the other hand, he may be attaching too much importance to his victory. Watch that Legislature!
