Thursday, December 2,1948 I Everybody Invited To Christmas Program Wilkes Chamber of Commerce through ac tivities of the Trade Promotion committee will stage a Christmas program Friday evening in Memorial Park, to which everybody, old and young, is invited. The program as planned will carry out the true spirit of Christmas. Chorus groups from perhaps a score of churches and schools, total ing more than 500 voices, will march from three points to Memorial Park and there, around a lighted Christmas tree, will sing Christmas carols. Santa Claus will arrive at the close of the singing and will distribute candy and gifts to children. This entire program is built around the true spirit of Christmas. Many cities have re sorted to mammoth parades, with grotesque balloons representing pre-historic monsters, to attract crowds for Christmas holiday open ing programs. Just how they connect th.\t with Christmas is difficult to understand. It is more like a circus, or carnival. Memorial Park will have seating capacity for about 3,000 spectators, and plenty of room for the tree, the carolers a.nd the activities of the program. The first part of the program will be put on by the North Wilkesboro high school band, beginning at 6:30 while the sing ers go in three groups to points from which they will march with lighted candles to the park. Wilkes To Aid With Food For Overseos The Christian Rural Overseas Program, known as CROP, has asked North Carolina, along with all other states of the nation, to take part in overseas relief and rehabilitation by giving products grown on the farms. The CROP program is sponsored by the Church World Service (representatives of Protestant' churches), Lutheran World Relief and Catho lic Rural Life. Items collected through CROP are distributed overseas through representa tives of the church organizations according to need, regardless of church affiliation. ThejState of North Carolina hopes to collect 100 carloads of farm products, or an average of ond car from each county. Wilkes county is making a determined effort to do its part. In order that the program may be well co ordinated throughout the county, each Com-' munity Chairman is asked to observe the fol lowing directions: Cojnmunity Chairmen are expected to con tact drivers and trucks to collect farm pro ducts and deliver them to the garage back of Reins-Sturdivant Funeral Home, North Wil kesboro, N. C. Each farm is to be contacwd and delivery made between December 9 and 12 inclusive. All products from the county are to be packed in a special railroad car and shipped December 13 to join similar FRIEND SHIP CARS from other counties of North Carolina. All types of foods can be received by the county committees. The non-shipable foods however must be sold in the county and trans ferred into cash for freight or for the pur chase of shipable commodities. Here follow a list of shipable foods: 1. Corn, wheat, oats, rye, barley, all small grains, soybeans, beans, peas, dried fruits, canned meats, canned goods in tin cans, rice, salt, sugar, lard, macaroni, syrup, molasses in cans* cotton which is the only non-food, can ned milk, peanuts, pecans, candy, flour, fruit juice in cans. 2. Sweet potatoes, irish potatoes, poultry, cured meats, pork, apples, and other foods can be received by the county organization and sold. It is suggested that each Community Chair man make an announcement in churches, schools, and other organizations in his com munity asking the cooperation of 2very fam ily in having their farm products ready when <thie collections are made December 9-12.
