We’ll have a Christmas parade here on December 16, but it will be a nativity parade. It won’t be a Christ mas parade because there’ll be no Santa Claus in it. Now, let me be not misunderstood. I approve of the idea of Christmas parade minus.floats telling one where to buy ties and hankies, slips and nighties, and guns and plunkers. And let a compliment go out to the Jay -1 cees and churches for relieving our December 16 affair of advertising. But since when has Santa Claus been a symbol of advertising? True, Santa Claus has been commercialized, but he is no more a commercial figure than mother. Mother has been commercialized along with Mother’s Day, but she’s not a commercial figure. So why is Santa Claus so regarded? The churches have not banned Santa Claus from their Christmas parties. It’s possible, however, that in order to be consistent some of them may ban him from their Christmas parties this year, but they will be un able to keep out the spirit of giving. It is well to have a parade the theme of which is the story of the Birth of our Saviour— the Person who called for little Chrildren to come unto him, who is a symbol of love for fellow man and who is a symbol for giving— giving not only of one’s worldly goods but of one’s self. Os course, Santa Claus is not a symbol of the Nativity, but Christmas is filled for all aorta of aym (Continued on Pst* *) 5 Cents a Copy should be delivered to the old Institute of Government building on East Franklin Street between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. any day from Monday through Saturday of next week, December 10 to 15.

Mr. Cheek went on to ex plain that about 10 additional employees would he hired to help handle the “Christmas rush”. Mr. Cheek said Chapel Hill merchants are cooperating with the Post Office by reminding customers to avoid the last-min ute rush by getting their Christ mas shopping and package send ing done early. "Putting off mailing Christmas parcels and cards until the last minute re sults in an extra burden on postal employees and Post Office facili ties," cautioned Mr. Cheek, "and increases the possibility that the sender’s gifts and cards may get delayed in s a last-minute jam. "We hope to have al! Christ mas mail out of the Post Office by Christmas and by following the simple instructions of shop ping early, mailing early, wrap ping carefully, and addressing plainly, the residents can help us do it. Don’t let people mislead 1 themselves by believing that there is some special significance in having the card or gift arrive exactly on Christmas Eve, be cause we all know it is the thought that counts." 1 * « • I J l Jimmy Pfouts Hurt With Dynamite Cap Jimmy Pfouts, 12-year-old son l of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Pfouts, is in Memorial Hospital suffer ing painful wounds resulting from having exploded a dynamite . .ap last week. ! Shrapnel lodged superficially in I his thigh and stomach. Officer Skippy Etheridge, who investigated, said young Pfouts, i Johnny Hinson, and Alex McKay ■ found a wooden box of eight i dynamite caps in the old rail i road track area off Ransom • Street. They tried to fire two I’but failed, and Jimmy placed one : on a rock and struck it with ■ another rock. Young Hinson's ’ hand was burned in the explosion also. School officials and parents 1 were asked to advise children I who may have found such ex ; plosives to turn them in, and . certainly not to attempt to fire i dynamite caps in event they ever 'come across any. The Chapel Hill Weekly some typical cases among these families: Mr. and Mrs. N. are both very old and feeble. They live alone and have no children or relatives to care fore them. The Empty Stocking Fund must try to make their Christmas, one of the last ones they will share, a happy one. Mr. J. has three children. His wife died of cancer the past sum mer. With the small income he makes as a sawmill worker he has been unable to finish paying the medical bills from his wife’s extended illness nor has he paid the funeral expenses, though he pays a little each month. Christ mas, for this family, will be doubly sad for there will not be much gaiety and it is the first one since the wife and mother has died. Make it a happy one. Mr. and Mrs. K have two small children. Mr. K. has been sick and unable to work since June of 1955. Mrs. K. does all she can to keep the children dressed for school and to pay her husband's medical bills. Last year there was no money for Christmas and the Empty Stock ing Fund helped them. Their situation is no better, if not worse this year. Help them have a Christmas. Miss U. is a deaf mute, 70 years old. She has no kin. Last year her smile upon receiving an Empty Stocking Box was more eloquent than a thousand words. Bring this same smile to her face this year. Miss L. is 90 years old. She lives in the backwoods off even the dirt roads. Her only com panions are three goats. She is in exceptional health for her age, carrying water from the well and doing her own washing. She re fuses to move, in spite of her loneliness, because her father willed her the house and a few acres. They, at least, she can call her own. The Empty Stocking gifts will be the only ones she receives this Christmas.
