The miracle of blooming plants
at Christmastime is wrought by
your commercial flower grower
and your florist, who carefully
bring a great variety of plants
into bloom for you—cyclaman,
azalea, poinsettia, chrysanthe
mums, begonia and many others.
As gifts, flowering plants are
perfect. As business gifts they
are colorful and long-lasting. As
gifts for family and friends, they
express your holiday message
with feeling and meaning. As hos
pital gifts, they always give the
patient a lift he or she will not
soon forget. Whatever you do,
don’t forget the shut-ins.
As decorations, flowering plants
add a little something special to
Christmas festivities. Use a sin
gle plant ’most anywhere in the
house. If you have a stairway,
place a plant on each of the three
lower steps as a friendly welcome
to entering guests. Group several
on a tray for a focal point. Add
one or two to a collection of
green plants for a splash of color.
A handsome holly arrangement
around a candelabrum with red
candles will be an eye-catcher on
the mantle. This same idea will
look pretty on a chest top or
buffet setting. Try a wreath of
green and cones around a wall
clock. Or use the wreath alone
over the mantle, on a wall, a door,
or hang in a window.
Boquets of bright red carnations
will add a festive touch to table
tops. Mass some Christmas greens
in large containers to add touches
of greenery throughout the house.
Decorate banisters with swags
of evergreens. Attach cones or
balls or ribbons for a real flashy
touch. Frame the front door with
garlands of greens across the top
and down the sides. Place cone

clusters on the corners.
For a dramatic and timely cen
terpiece, arrange several cut poin
settia blooms with greens in a
shallow bowl. Or, if you would
rather, ring the bases of bright
Christmas candles with holly and
greens. Put three or more down
the center of the table. A holly
wreath might be placed on the
back of each chair with place
cards attached to the tops of the
wreaths.

Don't Be Misled
BY DR. ROGER W. PRICE
Sick people are more frequently man otner
wise unaware or spmaT cisorciers in case? or
sickness and pain. Spinal disorders does not
always produce pain or discomfort in the back
unless there, is acute backache or lumbago,
but don’t be misled. In the great majority of
cases the efects of spinal disorder are ob
served at some distant point remote from the
»pme, such for example as neuritis or malfunction in one or mure uv vne
ioinrs, muscles or nerves. Because of this fact, you can be excused tor nui
immediately recognizing the location of your pain or illness, being in me
spme.
If you have been doctoring for some time, and find yourself, relieved, but
not entirely well, it would be wise to consult your irnropracvor. Modern
Chiropractic treatment uses the new approach and means to locate ana re
move the cause, rather than treating the effects.

The Pirate
Log
By TOY LANE HEYVETT
Thanksgiving holidays were
greatly enjoyed at Shallotte High.
The only trouble was they didn’t
last long enough. It seemed good
not to have any homework for
awhile, but the teachers are mak
ing up for that now.
The Henry Stone Cafeteria has
been blessed with new chairs and
tables. They are very pretty and
the students are doing a good job
keeping them clean.
Mascots for the 1962 graduation
have been elected. They are Terry
Hewett, nominated by Toy Lane
Hewett; and Philip Gore, nominat
ed by Freddie Gore. •
Former students of Shallotte
that were home over the holiday
were: Donnie Hewett, Dempsy
Hewett, Carol Hewett, Garland
Sellers and Jo Ann Sellers.
Pictures have arrived and al
most everyone is pleased with
them.
Candy is being sold by the sen
iors. If you’re asked to buy some,
do. It’s delicious!
The annual staff is working
' hard to lay-out an annual that
Germans Carious About Our Foods
New things to eat are a big hit
with German homemakers, if
crowds at the U. S. Ford Fair
1961 in Hamburg, Germany, are
any indication. And Germans have
an enormous curiosity about
American foods.
This is the view of Fair offi
cials who have been watching
cake mixes sold off shelves in the
Fair’s miniature U. S. super mar
ket at the rate of 2,000 packages
a day. The run on mixes gives
them good clues to future market
demand in Germany, since the
ready-to-mix cake packages are
not specially priced for Fair-goers
and actually come fairly expen
sive as German food prices go.
But the German aesire for new
things extends to numerous other
items—wheat bread toasted and
buttered, canned American-Chin
ese foods and sukiyaki dinners,
hamburgers and barbecue sauces
and relishes, Maryland fried chick
en, soy flour and non-fay dry
milk.
And American-style doughnuts
—the kind without jelly not well
known i.o the German public be
fore. Doughnuts made with Am
will please everyone, if that’s pos
sible. To have a nice annual the
staff must have money to work
with. They are selling ads to
raise this money. If you are asked
to buy an ad, please do so.
The other superlatives are:
Host Likely to Succeed, Dora
Milliken and Linwood Lancaster;
Most Intellectual, Patricia Gallo

Frink and Steve Cheers; Most
Courteous, Frances Phelps and

Royals and Kenneth Hewett.
High School students elected
Nancey Prince as May Queen and
Connie Gore as Maid of Honor.
The seniors elected Dora Hew
ett as Valentine Queen and the
juniors elected Linda Mintz as
Maid-of-Honor.
New members of the Beta Club
have been tapped. They are Gloria
Russ. Jane Marie Benton, Gloria
Leonard, Betty Benton, Lois
Clemmons, Benny Hewett. Ken
neth Grissett, Sammy Russ. Gary

Galloway, Gay Williams and Bob

The Pirates are getting off to
a pretty good start in basketball.

erican wheat flour have taken the
Fair by storm. Germans young
and old pronounce them delicious.
All in all, observers in Mam
burg think German homemakers
won't quibble much on jbrice. They
want quality in their food pur
chases today and are willing—
and also able—to pay for it. They
have vivid memories, for one
thing, of the poor quality food
on their markets in the bitter
years just after World War II.
Unfortunately for the house
wives who would like to buy
them, some of these products are
not available in German stores
due to import restrictions.
The cake mix situation had Fair
officials tearing their hair before
the Fair was two days old. Seven
of the 13 flavors from vanilla to
pineapple were gone by then. Sup
plies expected to carry them
through the 10-day Fair were
gone by the fourth day.
Most popular cake mix flavor
with the German buyers, mostly
women, was marble cake, a mix
ture of chocolate and vanilla.
Yellow and vanilla cakes rated
next in demand.
The German public at large has
never been considered flexible in
its ideas about food. Potatoes every
day and their famed sausages are
centuries-old food habits. But
modern living and communica
tions, Germany’s booming pros
perity, increased international tra
vel, and the presence of so many
Americans in Germany are help
ing change all this.
Germany is already this coun
try’s fourth largest customer for
agricultural products, and the U.
S. Department of Agriculture
forces even bigger markets for
many products of the American
farm—especially frozen poultry
and the packaged convenience
foods.
