' Public Urged To Give North Caro lina Made Gifts Tlu- Staii' Department ol Conser vation and De\ elupment is beginning i a campaign this w ek to urge people ; to "Give Something Made in North; t arelina for t'hiistmas.'* Letters have been sent nut to merchants and manufacturers group? by the Depart ment asking them to cooperate in making North Carolnia made goods available to the public, Hi sugges tion is made that retail stores set up a North Carolina made goods counter in a prominent location so that Chri-t mas shoppers will have an opportun ity to inspect the merchandise that is made in this State. Tht. Depart ment plans to r ach the public through the press, over the radio sta tions and "through the various civic and women's clubs in North Caro lina. In discussing the purpose of -uch a campaign, the following reasons for it were advanced: "First, the gifts would be useful and serviceable and would ?'<> th maximum amount of good to those who receive them. "Second, gifts to people both with in ami without the State would serv to acquaint the home-folks and those in other states with good^ mamifac tur <1 in North Carolina. "Third, Christmas money -pent for North Carolina made good* would be kept at homL? and could be used over and over again in paying debts and making other purchases, and "FouKh. the spending of several million dollars for Nofcth Carolina made goods at this time would stim ulate thi production of goods some what. give employment to a few more people and help increase all commer cial activity within the State. Such a program as this would help every body. "North Carolinians ought to take pride in giving and wearing som< - thintr made in North Carolina thi-? Christmas/' is was said.

Howard P. Powell The day following our arrival in Jerusalem we drove over a modern highway to the Mount of Olives, which is about two miles from the "Amtrican Colony." On the Mount of Olives there is a tower, the Rus sian Tower, with a spiral staircase of two hundred and fourteen sTeps, which offal's .from its platform \a magnificent view. This tower is one of the most commanding structures of the country of Palestine. It can he seen for many miles before reach ing the city, and is visible from the hills east of the Jordan and Dead Sea. The writer would like to have you stand with him in this tower for a view of the surroundings. Facing the east you can see the mist rising from the Jordan river and the Dead Sea as you look away across the Jericho Valley. To the right you can see some of the homes in the village of Bethany, where Jesus often went for rest and meditation. Close by the tower on your right you" see a small building with a dome shaped roof, which is said to mark the spot from which Jesus ascended. On the opposite side, facing we-t. we get an excellent view of the city of Je rusalem, one similar in many respects to that of our Lord. You can see the Garden of Gethsemane on the slopes of the Mount of Olives and just, a little farther on the brook Cedron over which Chist crossed be fore entering the Garden. Leaving the Russian Tower we walked over the little path leading over the Mount of Olives from Beth any. It is believed that it was over thi* same road that Jesus rode on Hip triumphial march into the city during the days just before His cru cifixion. There is a spot on this road at which you almost suddenly get a full view of the city. It could have bten upon this spot that he wept over *he city saying, "If thou hadst known even thou, at least in thy day. the things which belong unto thy peace! hut row they are hid from thine eyes. For the dayR shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round. and keep thee in on every side, and shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou i knewest not the time of thy visita I tion." One only needs to spend a f.w i hours in Jerusalem today to see that ; the prophecy of the Master was lit i < rally true. The city of Jerusalem has be n destroyed again and ajrain .nd has little hope for the future. It | i a city of superstition and unbelief, | p. discussion of which will follow in ; a later chapter. In the evening following the vis j it to the Mount of Olives was, ac cording to the events of passion week the night on which Christ was be : rayed. A room was provided' for a I communion service in the city for | this particula r evening. W<? went almost without a spoken word to this lace, which was as near the spot when Christ ha<r the Passover with His Disciples as could be imagined. e upper room, which we used, was :?s much like those of His day as could be found. Thete were four flights of steps leading up to this room, in which we found furnishings that wire peculiar to Jerusalem in cluding lamps of other days. In this ! room we were led in a communion ci vice by Rev. Carl Koeker, who was :: Northern Baptist. After breaking ; the bread, which is an old-fashion ed Jerusalem leaf, he passed the loaf I to the group of us which included members from the following denom inations: Northern Baptist, Northern Presbyterian, Northern Methodist, 'Southern Presbyterian, Southern Methodist, Dutch Reform, Christian, land an Undenominational church. We communed together and then joined hands in a circle and sang, "Blest Bo The Tie That Binds Our Hearts in Christian Love." It was the priv ilege of the writer to hold the hands of three denominations- other than his own, holding :n one hand the hands of a Southern Presbyterian and a Northern Baptist. This was one of the most inspiring moments of the entire journey to Palestine. Our hearty were, it seemed, beating as one heart in devotion to our Mas ter on thi* evening that marked the time of His testing. We are now walking down David Street enroute to the Mount of Olives by the way of the Garden of Gethse mane. (To Be Continued) LIONS CLUB HEAR ADDRESS BY CHENNEY Tells Of Findings In Thi* Section For Crowing Flowers For P erfump The Lion* Club heard Mr. ?'hen ????>. of Ohio, in an ?ddress Tuesday ; pijiht in which he of his find- j ings ov?.?r a period ??t" more than a J year experimenting with u rowing | flowers in t'.iis section for their , ei-| fume.

Mr. Chenney began his remark- 1 hy revi wing the history and use of j 1 crfumc by the ancients and stated that the perfume industry had thiiv- \ cd all through the ages. The most i expensive perfumes of today com j fiom Haste i n As a. Mr. Chenney stated, and in Bulgaria, France and : other Kuopcan countries the perfume industry required act- - and actes of! land for the growing: ??f flower.- to supply the needs. Mr. Chenney has been interested in growing flower* in this county for perfume for many years and his in v stigations and experiments have been conducted over a period of five years and in many sections of the I nited t Sates. Hi* stattenicnt Tues day night was to th effect that this cction of the country \va? better suited Jor this particular kind of in dustry than any he had yet investi vatcd, and compared favorably with that of foreign countries. Mr. henney had two articles of cloth treated with the p rfumes he had made in his e\pei intents with flowers grown on Mrs. White's farm, and one article treated with a popu lar French perfume. These w re f a sed around and voted on by the audience without knowing there was a foreign perfume in the collection. One of th articles treated with the perfume he had made, ran a close second to the foreign perfume. He ;.lso passed around a sampie of pul verized talc tak.n from the Kinscy mine and a box of French Powdei and asked the audience to feel of the texture of the raw material and the finished product. Wry little differ ence was noted. Following Mr. Chenney 's address, Mr:. W::ite made a shoil talk. Mr. C. C. Proffitt, of the poulti*y department of the Farmers Federa tion, who spent Tuesday hire loading a car. was also a pruest and made a short talk, following which reports were made by different committees. Mrs. C. \\ . Savage, chairman of the local Christmas Seal sale, made a short talk before the club in the in terest of the sale of seals. The meeting was one of the best the Lions have had in a long time, and was attended by a number of gu.sts. Those present were Dale Lee. Noah Lovingood, J. A. Richard son, Kclsey Weaver, Dr. Tvdw. E. Adams, . W. Bailey, Harve Elkins, T. L. Durfee, W. W. Hyde, Ms. E. C. White, Mr. Chenney, C. C. Proffitt, G. W . Kllis, Rev. H. P. Powell, Rev. J. L. Steele,. Dr. George R. Salisbury, Virgil Johnson.

Persian Tom Cat Weighs 14 Pounds A Persian Tom C at of Lady Dick ey's, proprietress of the Dickey Ho tel, weighs 1 4 pounds, being one of the largest specimens in the U. S. This cat indicates the wonderful quality of food served at the Dickey House which proves the fact that it is also good for traveling men as there is an analogy between the torn cats and -the boys who are prone to wander around over the high blue hills of North Carolina.
