Where blows the “Kona” far

j Where steel guitars are strum

Where soft eyes glow and hulas
sway
And songs of love are hummed.
Where shadows fall at evening

Hibiscus bloom against the sun,
Where long swells break and
surfboards ride,
And night falls soft when day
l is done.

A hand

Where low stars burn and moons
I swing high,
• Where blue lagoon meets sea—
A land of flowers, sunshine and

I Rocky Hock Section News
By MRS. T. W. ALLRED
A whole house full of friends
pnd relatives helped Mr. amd
Mrg. Murray Tynch celebrate
their 25th wedding anniversary
Sunday, December 15. Miss
Lily Saunders had made one of
her beautiful “wedding” cakes
and after the bountiful buffet
luncheon, the guests also helped
to eat the delicious cake. This
up-coming anniversary had sev- j
eral couples .at Rocky Hock
Sunday morning telling how long
they had been married. I heard
two or three admitting to being
close to a 50th celebration be
fore long.
If you were able to attend
Ihe Christmas music program at
Rocky’Hock on December 22,|
you saw how many “singers”!
were involved in the lovely >
presentation. For those of you
who did not, there were about
65 participating in the three
choir groups and the special •

THE CHOWAN HERALD
When the mercuFy drops and
■ we have weather like we’ve had
for the past week, my thoughts
turn to tropical climes, palm
trees, blue lagoons and warm
: breezes from an azure sea. Sand
girt shores, sunny beaches and
, moon-lit nights. A sigh escapes
; me as I blow on my cold-numbed
hands and peck away at this
dream. For dream it is; but
; everyone is entitled to a dream,
even if they sometimes turn in
to a nightmare—a nightmare of
cold and ice.
; A commentary on the times:
everybody complains about not
i having any money. But when
they buy something they invari
; ably hand the clerk a bill, and
it usually is a bill of large de
nomination. Nobody, but nobody,
; counts out nickels, dimes, quar
ters, halves or pennies when
• making a purchase—even a small
purchase. They’ll often give you
a one-dollar bill or a five for a
five-cent newspaper. Why ai«e
smaller groups. In addition, a
number of people helping with
the lighting, decorations, etc.,
deserve a special bouquet for a
job well done. We appreciate
all who helped in any way. Mrs.
Robert Harrell and Lloyd Wayne
Evans planned well in selecting
the music, film and coordinating
it with the help of the pastor..
Many people have commented on
[ the excellent presentation this
year and we have a feeling that
everyone who helped in any way
has begun Christmas in a very
meaningful way.
Everyone who brought a
“White Christmas” gift on Sun
day evening also got into the
'real meaning of Christmas early,
I We'”know’ there are many fam
! ilies in our community who have
; benefitted from your generosity.
A number of baskets were to be
delivered -un Monday by the
Community Missions chairmen.
' We appreciated a “second-
people this way? Are they
ashgmed or afraid to make an
• unfavorable impression on their
friends by displaying a few coins
• instead of folding money?
: OBSERVATION: Whenever I
; read about these women novel
ists who keep house, look after
i several children and a husband,
: and find time to write, I admit
, I get a wee mite skeptical and
suspicious. To me, writing is
! almost a full-time job, and house
keeping is also a full-time job—
and ne’er the twain should meet.
As I look at it, writing or house
; keeping, one or the other has got
• to give. You have to take your
choice—sloppy writing or a slop
py house.
This will be printed in the
after-Christmas edition, and if
i you are reading this after the
holidays, I hope you had a Merry
Christmas and are looking for
i ward to a happy, prosperous

hand” message from a former
Rocky Hock resident who now
lives out in Minnesota, I be
lieve. . She sent word that she
is delighted to find out what’s
going on in her community and
church. (That was the whole
purpose of this little column.
We're glad to find that some
body is enjoying it).
Friends of Mr. and Mrs. Paul
Sides will be glad to know that
they have landed in Antifeua
*(West Indies) and are already
making friends and finding their
place of service in a small misr
sion church. In their stead,
have their little friend from Ra
leigh, Linda Seagroves, visiting
in our home over the Christmas
holidays. Linda spent last
Christmas wit hthe Sides and we
were happy that we could have
her with our family over the
holidays.
Lots of Christmas suppers

I had some good fellowship to

ing. Miss Pauline Calloway gave
a short presentation of the sig
nificance of the Christmas “ever
greens” and how they relate to
the Christmas celebration. There
must have been 75 people pres
ent, counting all the small fry.
The Rev, Farren Rollins of
Warwick Church brought an ex
cellent message to the Brother
hood “Ladies’ Night” supper
I h*st Thursday evening. After
all the turkey and trimmings
were eaten, prepared by the
club women of the community,
some rather “extra special” en
tertainment was enjoyed. I’m
not going to give any more in
formation than that, but if you
were not a Brotherhood member <
or a guest, you missed a real
treat. Ask some of those who
went!
All the joys of Christmas are
marred by the sadness that
comes when a loved one is sud
denly riot here to enjoy it with
you. There were others of our

tion this week as death took
own preparations for Christmas, j
I hope that you took some time!
trying to decide what gift you
could give to God who has
sent you the best gift He had
long ago on that first Christmas.
I hope that you have accepted
this gift—his gift of salvation
through Christ because if you
have not, then you really do not j
know what Christmas means at
all. I hope that as you have j
wrapped gifts and sent cards to
friends and loved ones, that you
have tried to put something of!
yourself into the process. I hope;
( you have tried to find some one
less fortunate than you are, to
make their Christmas happier,
and I hope that you have not
forgotten to tell the story of
Christmas to someone who may
never have heard it before. If
you have done .all these things,
j then you will have a Merry l
i Christmas and peace in your
heart. One last reminder —
when the angels sang “Glory to
God in the highest, and on earth
Peace, Good Will toward men”
