The ^Christmas Spirit
We are.^t^py only as we share our
ka^pmeas with others, rf we would be
Wppy at,this Christmas time it should be
•or aim tOcapread happiness and to pass
an to others a part of the joy that should
he ours in observing the anniversary of
the birth, of the Prince of Peace.
Regardless of what the celebration of
the event may include, no real happiness
will be experienced by any person who
dbes'n^ practice giving at this,
time.
And here we would not want to b®
understood. We do not mean giving ex^
pensive gifts. Giving gifts is enjoyable to
those who can. Yet this Christmas time,
as has been the case with all others, finds
many underprivileged people unable to
give gifts and who do not have wealthy
or well-to-do friends to give to them.
There are many children whose joy of
Christmas will be dimmed because of the
lack of (toys, playthings, or the delicacies
which naturally are associated with the
holidays. There are many aged people
who are shut in because of infirmities.
Some of them are poor and do not have
means with which to/ipUrchase ^^me of
the things they childishly long for at
Christmas time.
Those who would be the happiest this
Christmas will not forget to visit these peo
ple. It is well and good to contribute to
associated charities and thus help in a ma
terial way. But the real joy comes from a
personal visit. Is there not some poor, un
fortunate person who had rather have a
visit from you than almost anything in the
world?
It does not take a lot of money to be
able to give. H by your manner of living
you spread the true spirit of Christmas,
fellowship, peace and goodwill, you have
given the greatest gifts and those which
cannot be valued by monetary standards.

Misrepresentation Of A Main
Character of “Rain on The
Just"
May I have the strict attention
of the past, present, and future
readers of Kathleen Morehouse's
“Rain On The Just'' regarding
the fact that the authoress has
misled the people of the Brushy
Mountains and surrounding com
munities.
The authoress states, “The
plot, characters, the typical nam
ings are fiction.’’ StiU the charac
ters and plot are bast-d upon real
people and true happenings. To
prove my statement kindly turn
to page fifty-six and read para^
graphs six tvnd seven. Then turn
back to page fifty-five and read
paragraph six.
This will prove to you that
Kathleen Morehouse was consci
ous of a real family name, be
cause when i!he was preparing
material for this book she stated
on one page ‘‘Big Dolly Allen”
and another “Big Dolly Adams.’’
The older people of the Brushlee
know that there was a Dolly Ad
ams.
The Adams’ who are aware of
the fact think this is an uncom
plimentary criticism toward the
older family.

from a 1936 copyright of “Rain
on the Just.’’)

“Peace on the earth!" When tyr-

With clanking sword and iron

When Freedom skulks into the

Afraid to speak across' the

“Peace on the earth!” 'When

Monopolize the labor mart?
When capital has knifed the
