SEPT. 7, 1944 PULP WOOD PACKS CI 1 CHRISTMAS GIFTS The volume of Christmas pack ages soing overseas to men and v.\imi n i:i the aimed services will reach a nt-iv lligh this full, accord ing to the Oh'iee of War Infornia- ! lion. In 131" the army post office trans mitted mare than 20.000.000 holiday packages and an additional 76.000. 000 to 100,000.000 pieces of miscel laneous mail. This year, army post al authorities say, the Christmas rail volume will be more than double tli at of last year. Pulpivood has made it possible for those of us at home to keep in touch with ioved oties overseas whether by V-mail, regular mail, or by eartons of home-made or home grown ibdfls. These packages and Setters made from pulpwond have aiso gone into prisoners' camps in Gemtaixy ami Japan via the Red Cross. Already this year's Christmas packages are being prepared by the Red Cross. They will contain turkey. p!t.?rr. pud ding. sausages, butter, deviled ham, chcddcr cheese, boulllcn cubes, tea, honey, strawberry jam, candy mix ed salted nuts, OrisH bars, 'iates. sliced pineapple, chewing gum. play ing cards, cigarettes, smoking to bacco. pipes, a game, washcloth, and a Picture to hang or. a barrack wai< Pulpwood cutters and producers may be proud of the part they have played in making the lot of our fighting men and women auxiliaries a little easier. Ms>5 your Christmas package overseas early this year and cut all the pulpwcod you can so long as the war lasts. PARALLELS TO LAST WAR Sometimes history repeats, some limes 11 doesn't. Anyway, here arc some interesting parallels to the last war. i On September 26, 19X8, Bulgaria surrendered. In this war, on Aug. 26, 1941, Bulgaria sued for peace-. On Oct. 6, 1918, Turkey, then a; belligerent, promised peace. In this war, Turkey, a neutral, broke with ihe Axis on Aug. !, 1944. On Sept 29. 1918, the German Supreme command asked the Kaiser Jo propose peace ? though the Al lies didn't know it at that time. This probably was analagous to the move by German army officers in July to force Hitler to surrender, resulting in their purge. In the last war, when the Kaiser delayed answering the Sept. 29 de man of the German Supreme com mand. Hindenburg, on Oct. 2, sent an urgent message to the Kaiser which, read: "The Supreme command insists or. its demand of Sunday, 29th Sep tember. that, a pcace offer le our enemies be offered at once." However, the Kaiser did not heed. Like Hitler, he continued in the war. On Oct. 19, 1958, Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig reported to Lloyd George that "the German army is capable of retiring to its own fron tiers and holding that line against equal or even superior forces . . . In the coming winter, the enemy will have several months for recupe ration. So we must conclude that the enemy will be able to hold the line which he selects for defense for some time after the campaign of 1919 commences." Instead of the campaign going into 1919, however, it collapsed three weeks later after Haig sent the above report to the British cabi net- ? Drew Pearson's Washington Merry-Go-Round. Joseph Callahan, of Chicago, had always enjoyed cordial relations with his false teeth. But one day he dozed and slipped from his chair. His plates landed, tooth side up, on the floor. Mr. Callahan's head came down on the same spot. The result was a vicious bite in the forehead.? Herald Tribune. Baptist Name Rev.

Hanibv: Church Education, Rev. Ben U Ray. Rev. M. A. Hugging of the state mission board, brought a message to the association on Missions. Rev. N. M. Greene was 111 charge of the night session, at which time reports were received from the churches, and aims tor the next year were discussed. On the second day o: the associa tion. Mr. T. G. Greer, superintendent of Miii.s Home. ThomrsasviUe, brought the principal message, and the fol lowing reports were heard: Associa tions! Missionary. N. M. Greene; Women's Work. Mrs. Elsie Morgan: Benevolences, Bert Farthing. In the report ot associativa! progress, it was revealed '.hat there are 40 churches in the association with a membership of S.747. The Sunday School enrollment is 4.652: B.T.U., 417, and W.M.y. 424. There were 195 baptisms for the year and the total gifts were $48,284.70. It was decided to hold the asso ciation with the Boone Church next year. Of interest is the fact that in its 104 years of existence the asso ciation has only met in Bocnc- twice. It first met here in 1888. and laterl in 1907. i Two Army Fliers Hurt In Crash of Glider! (CONTINUED FROM PACK ONE) j disasti r to the tow plane they re- : leased their craft above a cloud j bank, at .-in elevation of about 13,-' 000 feet.

ADAMS Arthur David Adams, the subject of this short memorial sketch, was the son of Tilman Adams and wife, Nancy Trivett Adams, was bom November 2, 1880, and died July 12, 1944, age 63 years, 7 months and 10 days. He professed faith in Christ and joined the Brushy Fork Baptist Church during a days of meeting following the regular meet ing time in August, 1916, and was, therefore, a member nearly 28 years, and we entertain a hope that he was ready to meet death when it came, and that his spirit is resting in peace somewhere in the paradise of God and that we will meet him again in that great resurrection mom. We shall sleep but not forever. I There will be a glorious dawn, we J shall meet to part no never, in the ] resurrection mom. Respectfully submitted, a LEE L. ANDERSON, J FRED C.
