OUR YULETIDE GREETINGS TO ALL
There are some things about which nothing more
can be said, but which when repeated arouse the inter
est they awakened when first spoken. If the song were
true when it started on its journey, it will be sung as
long as human hearts vibrate and tongues retain the
gift of speech. x . i
Christmas is like that. Santa Claus, the most real
and human being in all the world, will ride with fleet
reindeer, hurry down sooty chimneys and fill empty
stockings as long as children are bom unto man And
manhood and womanhood with less conception of the
physical reality of the \dsitor at Yuletide will cherish
the spirit of peace on earth and good will toward man
as long as Christianity survives. _
Today as we observe the 1933rd anniversary of the
birth of the Prince of Peace, God’s magnanimous gift
to man is realized in all its fullness. Sent into the world
by supernatural conception, the Prince of Peace abides
with us as the eternal intermediary between the finite
and infinite. Nineteen hundred and thirty-three years
ago a positive hope filled a void in the hearte m those
who understood the significance of the Star in the East
and the Child in a Manger; today, the Pnnee of Peace
is still our advocate before the Throne.
The petty things of life recede; hope spring anew.
Life’s cares and sorrows sink into oblivion; joy and
o'ood cheer refresh our souls. We erase the seliisn
wilting of our daily life and pen instead a message of
good cheer. ^ .
The Journal-Patriot joins in the season s greetings.
We wish for all who read these lines the Merriest
Christmas and trust that the fullest blessing from this
annivei'sary of the birth of the Prince of Peace may be
received.

Fon Combs Shot
In Right Knee
Washington, Dec. 22.—Sena
tor Bailey today made a number
of recommendations for appoint
ments in the middle and eastern
judicial district.
Carlisle Higgins. Sparta, has
the support of the senator for
I district attorney In the middle
I district, while Bryce Holt, of
I Greensboro, and Robert Mc
Neill, of Mocksvllle, were recom
mended for appointment as as
sistants.
It had been assumed that three
assistants would be named for
service In the middle district, but
one assistant was dropped in the
Interest of economy.
For district attorney In thejflculty will arise.
A municipal airport for Nortb
Wilkesboro, built out of Civil
Works Administration funds. Is
a strong possibility. It is iSSrsed
from a reliable source.
Robert M. Dunn, of Ashertrtlle,
eWA engineer in charge of aero
nautics in Western North Caro
lina, was here Friday and Sat
urday to inspect possible sites
and to confer with city authori
ties about necessary details.
Those behind the movement
informed a Journal-Patriot rep
resentative that their plans in
clude the construction of a mu
nicipal golf course in connection
with the airport. Mrs. 0. G. Fos-
} ter, civil works administrator for
' Wilkes county, has-indicated her
willingness to furnish CWA la
bor for the golf course project.
The engineer looked ov6r sev
eral possible sites for the airport
and found two particularly de
sirable on the Millers Creek high
way, it was stated. Either of the
sites is as close in as desired and
are ideal for a golf course and
municipal club house. The latter
cannot be erected at this time. It
is said.
Following a conference be
tween Mr. Dunn and the city au
thorities, it was reliably reported
that prospects are bright for se
curing the airport. The number
of men w-hich would be employ
ed in building the airport would
not affect the regular CWA quota,
for Wilkes county and the em
ployment thus provided could not
be given on any other type of
project.
The only possible hitch which
eponsors of the movement can
see at this time jS the failure ta
secure a five-year lease upon de
sirable property. It is not con
sidered like'v that any such dlf-
however.

Mr. and Mrs. W

Wilkes Hospital with a serious
wound in the knee and Charlie
Sparks is In the county jail as
the result of a shooting scrape
which took place In the section
between Cycle and Union Grove
late Thursday afternoon.
According to the best Infor
mation that could be obtained,
Sparks had a long-standing
grudge against Combs and went
to the Combs residence Thursday
afternoon and without Htny pro
vocation shot Combs in the knee
of the right leg.
After shooting Combs, Sparks
Is said to have stood guard with
his gun and refused to permit
Mrs. Combs or anyone else give
.first aid. A crowd gathered and
a neighbor succeeded In taking
the gun away from Sparks.
Combs was rushed to the hos
pital and Is getting along nicely.
It was learned Saturday. The
full load of the shotgun entered

Sparks was placed" under ar
rest and brought to jail at Wll-
