A LIFT for today ... I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.—Matt. 16:18. The church of our Lord is built upon a safe and endulpf ing foundation —Jesus Christ Himself —and it can make America truly Christian if we would but follow its teachings. We thank Thee, 0 Lord, for the church and Thy Di vine Power which enables us to become co-laborers with Thee. Youngsters* Day Youngsters of Edenton and Chowan County will have their day Friday, when they will meet Santa Claus in the annual Christmas party sponsored by the Edenton Business and Professional Woman’s Club. With favor able weather a large number of boys and girls will, no doubt, be on hand to see the jolly fellow and experience a wonderful thrill, some of them for the first time. It is no small job to prepare for such an occasion, so that the BPW Club is to be congratulated upon its pro ject which is looked forward to with so much expectation and pleasure each Christmas season. Work and worry should pass into the background when it is realized that so many boys and girls will be the happier due to the Christmas party. The party will usher in the Christmas season, when everybody, more than any other time of year, should be more friendly and considerate which in turn will result in more happiness. The world would be better off if the Christmas spirit prevailed every month in the year in stead of one. Don’t Cook Goose Before Christmas In all Christian lands, Christmas is a time for feast ing—but don’t cook your goose before Christmas!. Every yuletide hundreds of lives are snuffed out or ruined by careless accidents. Some of these occur in preparation for the joyous season—falls while putting up decorations, or bums incurred while cooking. But the greatest toll takes place on the nation’s highways, while the victims are bound to or from the get-togethers that are so much a part of Christmas. The National Safety Council has found that traffic ac cident deaths on both Christmas eve and Christmas day are about twice as high as the annual daily average. Family gatherings and other festivities bring the peak travel of the winter. And when more cars are on the move there is more chance of an accident. Early darkness plus bad weather add up to poor visi bility. Fogged windshields also make it difficult to see and avoid accident situations. Rain, snow and ice mean slippery streets and high ways, but thousands of holiday drivers fail to adjust their speed to hazardous conditions. The good fellowship of the season stimulates more drinking—and too often the celebrants clink glasses with death. Seven hundred and forty persons died as the result of accidents during the Christmas holidays last year—and the toll of 556 killed in traffic accidents was the highest on record. For a merry Christmas this year, be wary. Don’t cook your goose before Christmas! «anps can be tasled and B**^ straightened. 1 «. • ■ '■'■■ ■’ little boy*, in spite of the old rhyme, ore not made of "snip* and snail* and puppy-dog tails"—not a I bit of it) The truth of the matter is JMffIiSHS jthat little boys are made up mostly -w °* heart and imagination.

DECEMBER -a. Heard & Seen By./Buff ’ Erie Bunch was telling about a queer tree at his home in the Rocky Hock section the other day. He said he was reluctant to say anything about it, for he’d no doubt be branded a prevaricator. At any rate an Ehglish wal nut tree was planted about 40 years ago and being stunted in growth it bore about half a dozen English walnuts on the north side of the tree some years ago. No more nuts appeared on the tree until a few years la ter when Erie discovered about half a dozen pecans on the south side of the tree. Maybe the tree has been do ing some running around. Anyway, Erie says it’s a fact, if believed or not. o Red Men and members of the Degree of Pocahontas enjoyed, a fish fry at the Amoco Service Station; near Midway Monday night. One of the ladies was fixed up for the affair for she donned a suit of long underwear, dungarees and an extra pair of stockings. “I’m not going to stand shivering while eatin fish,” she said—and she didn’t Needless to say, a large quantity of (fish dis appeared. o ■ Edenton this week is decorating for Christmas, with many vari-eolored lights strung parallel along the busi ness section instead of across the street was in previous years. Santa Claus and “Merry Christmas” appear over Broad Street and the lights are scheduled to be tuned on Friday night to usher in the Christmas season. In a trip to the mid-western part of the State over the week end, I noticed many towns already decorated for Christ mas, but 21 days will allow time enough to be filled with the Christmas spirit and empty in the pocketbook. Tak ing a little trip is very nice, but it’s a grand and glorious feeling to get back home. o Edenton police were busy Wednesday morning erecting a manger scene at the foot of Broad Street. It didn’t take ’em long to get it up, and it will add greatly to Edenton’s Christmas decorations. o Two letters addressed to Santa Claus, North Pole, reached my desk this week, and here is one from Frank Proctor: “Dere Santa Claus: My name is Frank Proctor and I am a good little boy sometimes. But I expect to be good all the time now. I’m not going to fuss and do what my, mom and daddy say. I’m going to be good in town and not fuss in the store. If lam a good boy, will you bring me some toys? I want you to bring me a log truck and a trailer for my tractor and a crawling tractor and any thing else you think would be nice. And I am gonna be good. Don’t forget my name—Frank Proctor and my sister and mom and daddy.” The other letter from Kenny Wright follows: "Dear Santa—l am a little boy of 6 year old. I know you are getting a lot of letters from little boys just like me. Buti / I do hope you read this letter, because in it I say just what I won’t for Christmas. First I want a 20-inch bi cycle and then next I want Happy Field Glass. But Santa I know you are very busy now. So you just bring me what you think I need. P. S.—There will be coffee and cake on the table. Your Pal, Kennie.” Incidentally, the little boy included Rudolph, the red nosed reindeer in his letter. o Fire Chief R. K. Hall is very anxious for everybody to have a merry Christmas, so that he issues a warning about decorating in homes. Cap’n Dick’s advice is that no candles be used in Christmas decorating and that light bulbs should not be placed too close to paper or cloth. It’s good advice which should be followed. Too often fires have turned Christmas joy into sorrow and suffering. o At the meeting of Unanimity Lodge, No. 7, A. F. £ A. M., tonight (Thursday) officers for the year 1954 are scheduled to be elected. So' far as I know, no cigars are being passed around, but Charlie Griffin, outgoing master of the lodge, is very anxious to have a large at tendance to attend to this very important business. o Have you sent in the money for your Christmas seals yet? The money derived from the sale of these seals is the only way those interested in fighting tuberculosis have of raising money. Go find that letter and send in your contribution now.
