The outcome of the exciting battle demonstrated that a team Is never completely out of the running until It admits defeat, no matter how hopeless the odds may appear. Certainly the Bruins had little room lor optimism after their miserable first stanza. The second lesson taught Is that no ball club with a com manding lead can afford to take tilings for granted. The Earth- Overconfidence — magnified at the outset by the apparent tameness of the Bears—was just one factor In Goldsboro’s downfall. More significant was the remarkable Improvement shown by the Bruins In the re bounding department. During the first quarter, the locals were pathetic under the boards. W. C.

The Hai Wallis pro duction for Paramount was fiimed almost entirely in Aca- puico. Someone once said, a long time ago, that beauty Is In the eyes of the beholder. No one since then, to our knowledge, has tried to dispute the state ment. Maybe It’s just a case of Christmas stirring In the heart, but we’ve been aware as never before, In recent days, of the overwhelming number of cute children In our town. On the night of New Bern’s Christmas parade, there were several tots near us who could actually be classified as beauti ful, There must have been dozens of others just as ador able scattered along the parade route. Notwithstanding the quality of the passing procession. It was more fun watching the small fry, with stars In their eyes and the tinkling sound of joy Call JOE ANDERSON DRUG STORE for Reliable Prescription Service ME 7-4201 In their high-pitched voices, than it was viewing the parade Itself, Even without kids of your own by your side, you caught the mood of it all.

No human countenance—not even the serenely gentle faces that expectant mothers often have—surpasses the radiance of a child’s i-t •'.e when Christ mas Is just arcund the corner. Christ, If we remember our Bible correctly, reminded man kind that the poor are always with us. If you don’t have chil dren of your own—or even If you do—there are many under privileged tots who can brighten your Yuletlde if you’ll only brighten theirs. You may not get to see them on Christmas morning, but you’ll be able to picture the scene If you’ve arranged things with Santa Claus. The best money you’ll spend during the holiday season—the most re warding to your own heart—will be the small sum Invested In gifts for a child who would otherwise have little or nothing to rejoice over. Do this In remembrance of your own happy childhood. BURGLAR RETURNS LOOT Hopkinsville, Ky.—Articles stolen from Glen Hayes’ home were not missing long enough to give Hayes too much worry.
