OLD FASHIONED ONES WERE
BEST
As Yuletlde season is drawing
nigh.
In memory I recall
Those happy carefree childhooc
days
And Christmas best of all.
My mother planned so carefully
Each gift received much thought
It wasn't purchased at the store
By loving hands ’twas wrought.
The hard coal burner shed Its
glow
And Christmas Carols were sung.
We gathered round our mother's
chair
Pop corn and cranberries strung.
Lyndon B Johnson, President:
“Firmness In the right is indis
pensable today for peace. Thats irm
ness will always be measured It*
We looped and looped them round
the tree
Placed an angel on the top
Then on the brunches bung our
gifts
And hoped they wouldn't drop.
And as into our eager hands.
Old Santa placed each treasure
Although the cost was very mail.
It gave us untold pleasure.
Although I Join the modern
throng
So filled with vim end sect
I can’t help thinking to myaelf
Old-fashioned ones were the best!

We hate to have to toll that this

NAACP Charter after being organ
ised since October 3, 1939! Ain’t it a
big shame? Particularly so when
this region is known as one of the
biggest and grandest social centers
for the browns and tans of Eastern
Tarheelia? Ask thorn about when
you meat them at the next Dixie

courage them to Join-up at home
and take the land fat the fight tor

body to ask them’ are volunteering
to pay memberships.

organization which, admittedly did
much good work along NAACP'i

scope of operations and effective
