} In an open letter to the
League, Mrs. Jane Parker, 1
head of the Orange County!
Welfare Department, ex
pressed the meaning of the
Empty Stocking Campaign
from her point of view and
that of her case workers. I
"Now that the Empty
Stocking Campaign i« enter
ing its sixth year I have to
write a few words to the
League to let all of you know
what it meaac te JtMt muiy,
many people Mr |Gve
your Christiqla efteer.
“We in the Welfare Depart
ment nee the day to duy struggle
to live on the mi-ayiT incomes)
which many people in Orange
County have. These are our
neighbor*. Some are old and dis
abled and lonely. Some are fam
ilies with children who are de-,
prived of support either because'
of death or desertion of the
breadwinner. Some are hard work
ing but are unable to earn suf
ficient incomes to meet the needs
of their families. Many cannot
clothe their children adequately
ioi school. There is nothing left
over for ‘.Sunday clothes/ Scout
equipment, graduation dresses,
ti ya and the like which so many
of us take for granted.
“At Christmas time everyone
needs some expression of giving
and receiving and of cheer. The
Kmpty Stocking has brought this
to the whole community. The
warm hearted response of those
who give and those who riet-d and
receive brings something which |
lusts throughout the year. The]
caseworkers know this as they i
see people who give expression I
of their appreciation and who
realize that what cunnut tie had
now may come from the Kmpty
Stocking at Chriatmaa.
“And to, ax Chriatmaa cornea
this year we in the Welfare De
partment want you to know how
much your caring and your hard
work mean to ua and to all whoaa
Chriatmaa you make joyful and
happy. Good wlahaa to all of you
for a Merry Chriatmaa."

Comic Opera on East Franklin: The Great Popcorn Fire
By Chuck Hauser
The situation had all the
aspects of a comic opera. It
began with a fire call late Fri
day afternoon—two honks, a
pause, then five more honks.
The signal was for the Post
Office section of the East
Franklin Street business dis
trict.
I grabbed the Weekly’s cam
era and a pocket full of flash
bulbs while reporter Lyn Over
man struggled into his topcoat.
Then we were out the door on
a dead run for the Post Office.
It’s a good thing we weren’t
moving any faster. For as we
came down the front steps of
the Weekly office, the fire
engine came roaring into the
Bank of Chapel Hill parking
lot right beside us. The big
machine came to a stop at the
back door of the banl|. A po
lice car cruised up behind it
and stopped, too.

simply having trouble mak
ing the turn into the business
alley, and Lyn and I kept head

a yell from Fireman David
Roberts turned us around.
There was smoke coining from

No serious damage done. A lot
