The ' fi-bool wii:, therefore, resume its work on Tuesday, December 29th. u shorter recess period is being taken ? ?o that the school will not hive to ' hold so fate in the spring. p A delightful program was given Friday morning at the Chapel Hour a by Miss Triplett*s section orf the Fourth Grade and by the tenth and eleventh grade sections of Mrs. E. G. ^ White's English classes. The j, fourth grade hod the regular chape) hour program, during which they presented a little Christmns play. v Following this, a debate wan held be- ^ tween members of the tenth and t! eleventh grade classes, this debate s' having been prepared in connection with their Englfch work. The query ^ | debated was, Resolved, That the ^ Philippines should be granted their independence. Robert wells, Frank h Walsh, and Leila Posey represented the Seniors, upheld the affirmative side of the question; Carl Hendrix, | ? James Williamson and Rilla Belle S1 Palmer represented the Juniors and I1 defended the negative side of the question. Messrs. John H. Dillard, Ralph Moody and K. G. Clary acted s as Judges of the debate. The de-;'T cision of the judges was two to one 1' in favor of the affirmative, the balloting being done without conferring u with one nnother. Following the ^ speeches in the debate, the 10th " grade sang "Where the River Shanno flows", and while the judges were writing their decition the eleventh grade sang "My Wild Irish Rose". In this way all the members of the '' two English Classes were able to T take part in the program. .

It embodies "unselfishness" be-,g muse it is the anniversary of the' S iirth of the Saviour of the World, js who chose to leave the royal throne ( >f Heaven and take upon himself the j imitations, the bur lens, the sorrows jr ind sins of the world. This is the w inniversaiy of the date 0.1 which he ame into the world to give himself 10 unselfishly for it. I _ The Christmas Spirit is partly ex- n messed in the word "giving" be- b muse it is the anniversary of the c? riving of a saviour to the world by c[Jod. p: "Thoughtfulness of others, brothery love, and Pence, all express part w >f the Christmas spirit because Christ's coming brought peace to, M mankind, certainly that poition of: si mankind that has received the Saviour! tr ind when one is at peace with him- tc ielf and has Christ in his life one oves his fellowmen and the Spirit a] >f service dominates such a one's life. C( It is a time of "Joy" and "happ- *1 ness", (not of boisterousness and rowdyism) as it is a time when ni mankind likes to express a feeling of, jn gratitude for the coming of a Savi- tp *ur through whom the world has the a issurance of salvation. Christmas would be poorly, kept if 0, t did not embody worship. It should jiT be a time when the world kneels w Jown at the feet of the Saviour like m the Shepherds of old.

ADVERTISE IN | THE SCOUT "IT WILL MAKK | YOU RICH'' 1 North Carolina 5c COPY?$1.50 PER YEAR DODGE BROTHERS. INC.. ANNOUNCE REDUCTIONS ? ; * Few announcements In the Eus* nesa world have occasioned m?re widespread surprise and comment than the one published last week by Dodge Brothers, Inc., through their local dealer, E. C. Moore, statin? that: substantial price reductions would be made public on January 7th, although actually in effect Dec. ?.V,h. It was explained that the full amount of the reductions would be refunded to all persons buying Dodge Brothers cars between December 15th and January 7th. Robert C. Graham, newly appointd vice president and general manager of Dodge Brothers, Inc., the ther day supplemented the annoucement with the following statement: "Telegrams are pouring in from every section of the world. Dealers report the most intense enthusiasm in the history of Dodge Brothers. "They know that these reductions would have been impossible without greatly increased production?and that is now assured. We have just completed a $10,000,000 expansion in now buildings and equipment that will nearly double our capacity. "Although facilities have been greatly increased every year since 1014, Dodge Brothers have lost hundreds of thousands of sales through inability to supply demand. We are now in position to meet what we are firmly convinced will be the greatest demand in history. This applies to both passenger cars and trucks and not only to the United States but to the whole world. Having just returned from abroad, whe:e I spent several months in a very careful investigation of business conditions, I am satisfied that the world market is ia a receptive mood for American products. The world in general will be more prosperous than in many years anri therefore in a position to indulge this mood with extensive buying. "American manufacturers likewise are in a better position than ever before to meet this demand, which insures an excellnt employment situation and further increased prospciity at home. "Dodge Brothers and Graham Brothers export business is increas! ing month after month, keeping pace with the big growth in domesj tic sales. ; "On the whole, the outlook is for [ tremendous year?and Dodge Brotheis and Graham BVothers are now fully prepared to meet it." MURPHY SUNDAY SCHOOLS TO HAVE XM AS PROGRAM The different Sunday Schools of the town will celebrate the Christmas season with appropriate exercises. The Methodist Sunday School will have a program of special music, recitations and a play, which will be rendered Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock. They will have no tree, but presents and gifts will be distributed to the children. The Baptists will have a Christmas tree Thursday evening at 7 o'clock. A special program of music and recitations will be rendered, after which gifts will be distributed to the children. The Presbyterians are preparing to render their program at the regular Sunday School hour Sunday morning:, with an appropriate program of music and recitations. They will hove a large barrel and instead of receiving gifts, the children will bring gifts and presents to be placed in the barrel and sent to the Mountain Orphanage. G. T.
