DUKE JONES, Business Manager Member North Carolina Press Association ENTERED AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER AT THE POST OFFICE IN WARRENTON, NORTH CAROLINA. UNDER THE LAWS OF CONGRESS "Second Class Postage Paid At Warrenton, N. C." SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year. $3.00; Six Months, $1.50 Happy Christmas Nearly two thousand years ago there was born in a manger at Jerusalem the child Jesus Christ. Growing up he went about doing good and preaching the revolutionary doctrine that no man can save his life unless he lose it. The years passed. His doctrine spread and there grew up around the celebration of His birthday the custom of giving presents as an out ward evidence of goodwill and love largely locked within the heart dur ing the remainder of the year. And more wonderful still the idea spread that at this time a Great Spirit hovers over the world bringing gifts, joy and happiness to children. Christmas is spiritual and it be longs to children. The truly hard boiled, the cynical can not enter in to it. Only those who approach as a little child can enter into the real Christmas. Adults who see beyond the material and catch this spirit enjoy a great happiness at Yule tide. All others shut themselves out. Family reunions, the good wishes of friends, freedom for a day from the problems of the world bring happiness as does the act of giv ing. But that is in addition and beyond the reaiChristmas into which no one but little children and those with the faith of a child may enter. And so at this Christmas it is our wish for each of our readers that at this season they may for a day become as a little child and enter ing into that realm of the spirit known as Christmas find peace, Joy, happiness. Millionaires Are Still With Us The Smithfield Herald According to one of the American myths, the Age of the Millionaire began Us decline ^as tb.e_ New Deal reshaped the economy of the United States In the Nineteen Thirties. Under Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Ken nedy, and LB J, m en have wrung their hands and moaned, "You Just can't make money anymore." The myth of the decline of the millionaire Is so persistent that it is not easily shaken by facts and figures?for example, facts and figures contained In an article by Herman P. Miller In the New York Times Magazine. Mr. Miller, a special assistant to the di rector of the Census Bureau, reports that "the rich among us are flourishing as never before." The National Bureau of Economic Research estimated that the United States had 27,000 millionaires in 1953. The board of governors of the Federal Reserve System compiled data which indicated that the num ber of millionaires had Increased to at least Defining 'Success' The Ahoskie Herald Practically every person, whether man or woman, boy or girl, regardless of age and circumstances, hopes and Intends to make a success of life. Stated in general terms, this ambition is common to all of us. It is only when we attempt to define the meaning of "success" that differences of opinion develop. It might be a good idea for the lndivdual to stop long enough to ponder the question and answer It. The Individual, In his or her zeal to be successful, often accepts a popular de finition of the term and hereby loses sight of the real goal. One's success Is not to be measured by the wealth accumulated, the wordly honors received, or the fickle ac clamation of so-called public opinion. We suggest that the individual reader analyze ills or her conception of success. It should be obvious, we think that one can be successful only when life is in harmony with our inner convictions. Yet, If our princi ples are wrong, life will be "imperfect. We challenge young people to outline de flnlte principles which are considered accept able guides. "As a start, one mlglit try-to discover a definite principle upon which to base one's dally activity and to which one is willing to be loyal under all circumstances. This might sound easy, but test it for your self. Small P.T.A. Meet Curtis Buss in Waynesville Mountaineer C. R. Dale has a wealth of good yarns to spin at any gathering. The other night at Rotary ladles night, he told one story after another for 18 minutes, then began to "crack down" on hla pet theme, "schools." Ha told one story of the eighth grader informing his father: "There Is to be a small PTA meeting "What do you mean by small PTA," the father inquired. "Just you, and me and the teacher," was A slander is like a hornet; if you cannot kUl It dead at the first blow, better not strike at it.-Josh Billings. Why can we remember the tiniest detail as hagyeoed to us, asd aot remember bow many times we have told it to the same V to be so fat that whenever I got a I had to take the bootblack's word for it.-Jack E. Leonard. 67,000 by 1962. U. S. News and World Re port, the conservative weekly news magazine, estimates that the number now stands at 90,000. ? Mr. Miller's article emphasized (1) that In come and Inheritance taxes have not wiped out the millionaire class and (2) that "most of the new fortunes have been made through self-employment In a business." His study even bears out the truth of the old copybook maxim?"hard work and per severance will win." The available evidence, Mr. Miller says, suggests that most mil lionaires "travel a long, hard road that takes a lifetime." The average age of millionaires is 60. You can still inherit a fortune, but "the obvious path to riches Is by building up equity in a business," Mr. Miller observes. Most biographies of wealthy men stress the Im portance of hard work, imagination, courage, anf frugality. Mr. Miller, who perhaps is more objective than the millionaires who engage in self-analysis, does not discount luck, which he thinks "may not be as Important in mak ing a million dollars as many poor people like to think, but it is probably more Im portant than many rich people would have us believe." Whether money is made today by ad herence to old-fashioned American virtues oi with external aids such as luck, the evidence shows that the rich people "never had It so good." Still, belief in destruction of the mil lionaire class by government meddling will continue to endure. The myth will be kept alive by Imprudent or unlucky businessmen who blame their financial failures on Wash ington. And it also will be kept alive by men who have made little fortunes precisely because of tax-supported government spend ing, greedily imagine larger fortunes they could have acquired had the government not taxed a share of their earnings.
