■“It’s beginning to look a lot like
Christmas all around the town”!
Isn’t it wonderful? Our town
looks so pretty, and the parade will
be today! Then we know its near
ly here. The Christmas Tea al
ways ushers in the season so nice
ly .. . and the people of Clen
Ropal Baptist and the Church of
God are busy practicing for that
magical Christmas Eve, when the
old - fashioned “entertainment”
finds both churches filled with hap
py people.
Glen Royal Baptist Church had
a large Fellowship Dinner at the
Seminary Cafeteria last Thursday
night. There were over 100 people
there, enjoying good food and fel
lowship. The after-dinner speak
er was Rev. Harold- White and he
was enjoyed by everyone.
“Sonijy” Woodlief has written
Mrs. Mattie Alford that he has
been wounded in Viet Nam, but
that it was not bad, and she was
not to worry. We’re all so happy
that it is not bad and trust we’ll
soon hear he’s fine.
The Church of God is having a
guest speaker for the weekend.
Rev. L. 0. Henry, who is superin
tendent of the Children’s Home in
Concord, will speak at both serv
ices on Sunday. He will remain
for the Monday night services,
which will be Raleigh District Fel
lowship Meeting night here at the-
local church, with seven towns be
ing represented. Everyone is in
vited to attend all these services.
Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Woodlief are
real thrilled! Their son. Tommy
Lee, is arriving in Norfolk, Va.
next Monday, Dec. 13 when his
ship U. S. S. Independence arrives
from its tour of duty. Mr. and
Mrs. Woodlief expect to ■ attend
exercises at the ship and will be
going to Williamsburg on Satur
day to be with the, A1 Sabols until
Monday, It seems pretty certain
one serviceman will “be home for
Christmas.”
Miss Rheba Ballard of East Car
olina College brought her room
mate to Wake Forest for a visit
this week-end and the girls en
joyed their visit with Mrs. Louise
Cole and Mrs. B. C. Dixon.
Mrs. Maxine Lentz returned
home, following a week’s stay m
Duke Hospital. We do hope she
will soon be fit and well.
Mrs. Louise Moore has been in
Wake Forest Hospital. We wish
for her a speedy recovery.
LOCAL BOY WOUNDED IN VIET NAM
A Wake Forest boy serving with

PFC. Eugene W. W’oodlief, 18
year old soldier wrote his mother,
Mrs. Mattie Alford that a mortar
exploded about 40 feet from him
and shrapnel hit his left arm.
While he is being treated at a
hospital near Saigon, he is not
believed seriously hurt.
He wrote. Mrs. Alford that he
would be out of jungle fighting ten
weeks or so.
' Woodlief entered the service last
Jan. 12 and landed in Viet Nam
home following his recent surgery,
but he is recuperating nicely.
Miss Joe Edwards has had a

grandpas and aunts an uncles and
little boys and girls helping her
celebrate last Sunday. She got lots
of pretty presents and everyone
had a nice time.
Mr. Franklin Hicks is still at

Club Takes Members
The Christmas meeting of the
Wake Forest Woman’s Club was
held during the week, presided
over by the President Mrs. C. C.
Hilderand. During ithe' business
session Mrs. John D. Lyon, Pro
jects chairman, reported on two
recently held Rummage Sales,
stating that some unsold material
was donated to a local organiza
tion in addition to a larger amount
which was donated to the Salva
tion Army.
In line with the procedure of the
local organziation, new members
are taken into the organization
only twice during the year. Dur
ing the evening the following new
members were voted into the or
ganization: Mrs. Donald Cook,
Mrs. Carlton Chappell, Mrs. John
T. Wayland, Mrs. Staney Wil

J. R. Jackson.
Following the business meeting
Mrs. W. C. Strickland took charge
of the program, introducing Mrs.
James Blackmore who gave sev
eral readings on the spirit of
Christmas; the Choral Group of
the club rendered several Christ
mas carols with Mrs. A. C. Reid
assisting at the piano; and Mrs.
J. L. Baum, dressed as Mrs. Santa
Claus, did a humorous skit, which
included a phone conversation
done on an old-fashioned hand
cranked phone. During the social
hour the exchange of gifts added
to the merriment of the occasion.
Flattery is the art of telling an
other person . exactly what he
thinks of himself.

Local Native Says Communist
Goal Is World Domination
Chester A. Wilkinson, son of
Mrs. Fate Wilkinson of Wake For
est, who served 4 years with the
U. S. Navy after gracuailng from
Wake Forest High School and the
University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill, recently wrote a let
ter to Mrs. John ’Wooten Jr.,
Regent of the General James
Moore Chapter, DAR. Now a ci
vilian, he is employed by Proctor
and Gamble, and lives in Morris
town, Pa. Recent anti Viet Nam
demonstrations prompted him to
write this letter. As communica
tions officer he was close to the
problems he writes about.
Excerpts from the letter are as
follows:

“During the four years I served
in the U. S. Navy, I was involved
in a number of crisises: Cuba,
Panama, Cypress, Santo Domingo.
These were important events in
my life because during each I be
lieved very strongly in what I was
doing. I believed that the pre
ventative solution we were offer
ing was in some small way pre
venting the spread of Communism.
This was particularly true in the
case of the Cuban Crisis. Since I
had access to classified informa
tion I was able to realize the ser
iousness of what we were doing
before you at home. It was par
ticularly hard on that occasion to
say goodby to my family when I
wasn’t really sure that I would be
coming back ... or that there
would be anything to come back
to. This may seem overly dramat
ic in 1965, but, believe me, in 1962
it was auite real. I can remem
ber thinking during that period,
“Does anyone really care that I
am out here putting my life on
the line?” And I had cause to
think this during each close scrape
in which I was involved.
in the way of educating the public
to what our boys are facing.
Should you need literature I refer
you to The Green Berets by Robin
Moore. It is not a book for the
squeemish .... but then, neither
is war. This book graphically de
scribes the situation in Viet Nam
far better than I could ever hope
to.

A particularly demoralizing
event occured during the Santo
Domingo crisis. I had spent a
very tense and nerve-racking 48
hours without sleep. The tense
ness was only increased by the
fact that we were one of the first
ships off the coast and we really
weren’t too sure in what direction
the fighting would go. Just be
fore I came off watch at 4:00 am
I heard a news broadcast from
the states. To my dismay it told
of nothing but rioting and blood
shed caused by racial conflicts.
At that point, only one thought
came to mind: “Let’s go home;
no one really cares.”
I realize that I have only hit
the surface and there is much
more th^t I could say. But this I
will leave to another time. Please,
ladies, give serious thought to
what our boys are doing. Think
about a cold foxhole the next time
you cut the heat on in your house.
Think of the food our bovs will be
getting when you sit down to a
Thanksgiving feast. Think how
you would feel if YOUR son was
over there fighting.
I have a very close and dear
friend who is laying his life on
the line every day over there. He
has a wife and 2 sons waiting for
him at home. I had the chance
to talk to her several weeks ago.
Her attitude and stamina are true-
ly amazing. She doesn’t want him
there, but she realized the need
for his being there. My hat is off
to her and people like her.
My gracious thanks for your
time. I hope it has done some
good.”
Sincerely,
Chester Wilkinson

This long and possibly irrevelent
introduction leads me to real pur
pose behind this letter. I feel there
is a very worthy cause to which
you can put your efforts. I am
daily sickened by the “anti-war”
demonstrations that are being car
ried out “for the sake of peace.”
Can you imagine how our men in
Viet Nam feel when they hear of
this? They are giving their lives
so we may be free. And don’t
think for one minute that the War
in Viet Nam is unnecessary. The
Communists are not fooling. They
have but one purpose and that
is' WORLD DOMINATION. The
minute we forget this, the second
we let our guard down, they will
move one step further towards that
goal. Viet Nam is that one step
I do not want them to take.
I feel that the DAR with their
dedicaion to patriotism and pres
ervation of tradition can do a lot
