Buy Christmas Seals In looking over the health ac Livities of the various coun ties and cities of North Carolina, it is increstir.g to find that the communities that are the most . igorous in fighting disease and promoting health within their boundaris are the ones that have the larger sales of Christmas Seals. These little health stamps seem to have rpore than a fund raising value. They carry the Christmas spirit; they educate for health; they inspire to action. The interest of the people in an action health program seems to be shown by the number of seals they buy. The larger the Seal Sale in a county, the more vigorous is the tuberculosis Qam paigu that follows—not entirely hew: more funds are avail 'd le, but because public interest has been aroused through a campaign that has reached every home. It might fairly be said that the community that does not sell its uuota of the Christmas Seals is below par in the scale of com munnity health. It has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. The Christmas Seals barometer indicates the ■lalth ahead and this is confirm 'd by the mortality and mobidity statistics which cannot be dis puted. Mrs. VV. S. Dean, our local chairman, tells us the Seal Sale ■t ill begin here on Thanksgiving Day. Plans have been perfected for a large sale in our town and community, and we believe the people are going to purchase more liberally of the Tuberculo sis Christmas Seals this year ! than ever before.

If you are one of those individuals whose soul is warped by shallow egotism, colossal ignorance, and hold pessimistic prejudice towards all God's humanity, you are warned; you wont enjoy “Hucklegerry Finn"—stay at home with your small coterie. "Huckleberry Finn” is for those who enjoy life, fun, the sunshine and all blessings God has so generously endowed his people. “Huckleberry Finn” radi ate s cheer; he is effervescent with good will; he is incor rigible with fun, his optimism is contageous, and the numerous situations un folded in the progress of the play brings opportunities galore for “Huckleberry Finn” to be I himself; in other words, to | emanate fun, which he does pro ! fusely, continuously and extra ; vagantly. We reiterate in stating I this is postively one of the best attractions that will come to our Theatre this season,and we urge everyone who wants good clean moral shows, who wants the best, to come and see the boys Huckleberry Finn and his Pal, Tom Sawyer. Mothers, come yourselves and bring your children; they will want to see the boy everyone has read so much about. There will be nothin to offend the moat cul tured, esthetic taste. Playin at popular prices.
