St. Matthew’s Church at Hillsboro to
Hold Annual Christmas Bazaar Dec. 8
The annual Christmas Bazaar
sponsored by St. Matthew's Par
ish Guild will lie held at the Co
lonial Inn in Hillsboro on Satur
day, December 8, beginning ut
2:00 p.m.
Plants and boxwood will be on
sale, also dried flower arrange
ments, Christmas , decorations,
toys and novelties, “White Ele-,
phants" and hand work includ
ing crocheted table mats, attrac
tive smocks for grown-ups and
smocked dresses for little girts.
In the food department, among
many other things, some items'
of interest will be home made
fruit cakes, plum puddings and
pecan pies, brunswick stew and
bunches of salsify or “Oyster
Plant." I
There will also be a “Fish
Pond” for the children where at
tractive toys can be "caught". I
All proceeds from the Bazaar
will be used to help furnish the
Parish House which is now being
built at St. Matthew's.
St. Matthew's Church has
many long years of history be
hind it. Although the church was
reorganized and the present
building erected in 1824, the Par
ish itself goes back to Colonial*
times, and was the first served
by Parson Micklejohn, a very
colorful figure during the trou
bled years just preceding the
Revolution.
It was in the original St. Mat
thew’s Church that the meeting
of the famoua State Convention
of July and August 1788 took
place which by a majority of 100,
votes refused to ratify the Fed
eral Constitution wtthout the
safeguard of a 818 of Rights.
5 Cents a Copy
The long and honored past is
cherished at St. Matthew's but
now she must concern herself
with the present and the future.
In the midst of a growing and
| expanding community, in order
to render a full share of service,
it is necessary that the church
have expanded facilities with
which to work. So now St. Mat
thew’s is busy building a Parish
House and the Ladies of the
Guild have high hopes that their
Bazaar will materially contribute
to this end.

Dr. Garvin Boosts
Christmas Seals
Dr. (). David Garvin, district
health officer, 'yesterday gave a
verbid shove to the sale of Christ
mus Seals.
Dr. Garvin pointed out that
the need for more money to com
bat tuberculosis was based on
this essential fact: While not as
many people are dying from
tuberculosis now, the number of
cases is increasing, and the vic
tims must be cared for. The new
drugs now being administered,
prevent death, but do not de
crease the number of cases.
I
Dr. Garvin said he was urging
people to purchase Christmas
seals to support the work of the
Orange County Tuberculosis As-]
sociation. “They cooperate with
the health department to the
fullest. They allocate funds for
case finding, case supervision,
treatment and educational ma
terials," he said.
Then he gave some figures’
relative to the work of his de-J
partment in tuberculosis control’
during 1956. There were 6,263'
persons x-rayed, and 42 tuber
culosis suspects discovered. Therei
were 83 non tuberculosis chest
diseases sus|>ected, IMO cardio
vascular diseases suspected, and
seven malignancies suspected
"The District Health Depart
ment considers tuberculosis one
of the major public health pro
grams,” Dr. Garvin said.
Orange County people already
have received their seals ill the
mails. All they need to do now!
is send in the money for them.

Bicycles - tricycles - wagons -
these are children's delights.
This year the Junior Service
League wants "rolling stock" for
the Empty Stocking Campaign.
Has your child outgrown that
tricycle? What are you going to
do with the bicycle that needs
repairs and that Santa just might
replace? Let the Empty Stock
ing have them. If it needs repairs,
the League will have it done.
In the past a call was put out
for any broken toys. This had to
be stopped due to the impos
sibility of obtaining necessary
parts for the various types re
ceived. But any good used toys
are badly needed.
If you have any repairable
wagons, tricycles, bicycles and
the like please call Mrs. Donald
Stanford, 8-2657, or Mrs. John
; Crittenden, 8-0275 and arrange
ments will be made to pick the
] items up. *
I If you have not yet adopted
your family, read the cases in
!:he Weekly and you will realize
; how desperate the need is. Then
jcall Mrs. John Crittenden and
(adopt a family.
j Some of the needy families
; follow :
Mr. S. is an eighty-year-old
man who is completely alone. He
lost his wife several years ago,
and recently his only son died.
He used to come to the Welfare
Department for companionship
and for help with his problems.
Recently he became so sick that
he was assigned to a nursing
! home. Having no family, his only
,Christmas cheer will come from
ithe Empty Stocking Fund.
I Mrs. I. and her three grand
children live together. Their
father deserted them, and their
1 mother has been in a mental hos-
I pital nearly five years. The chil
idren visit her occasionally and
hope she may he able to come
home some day. They are plan
ning what they can make for her
, for Christmas. Mrs. 1. sends her
graudchiUiren to school dressed
as nicely as posible and is care
|ful that they have books, etc.
;She also takes pride in having
, them tuke presents at Thanks
giving and Christmas, “for those
: !e-*s fortunate,” when baskets are
(made up. Mrs. 1. wants the chil-
Ulren to have some fun things at
] Christmas and knows that she
i cannot afford to buy them. Last
'year she made a special trip to
lhe Welfare Department to thank
the Empty Stocking Fund for the
Christmas they provided for the
children.
Mrs. K. is a withered,
little woman of eighty-two who
is completely paralyzed. Her
strength is failing rapidly. Only
one of her four children is still
; living and he is unable to help
her. Out of the assistance she re
, reives from the Welfare Depart
, ment she pays someone to come
;in ami feed and bathe her. When
, a iiuursing home is suggested
she smiles and says, "No, I must
| die here where John and I lived
'our life together and raised our
family.” Mrs. K. will spend
(Christmas alone in her little
house. Perhaps some gifts from
the Empty Stocking Fund will
cheer her fur that day as she
, remembers other Christmases
| when her husband and family
were there with her.
Mr. and Mrs. D. have nine
children. Mr. D. works at a lab
oring job, earning about $35 a
