King in the valiant man and free, The larger heart, the kindlier i . hand; King out the darkness f the lanl, King in the Christ that is to be. . ' From In Meinniani fl:lll The Year Ahead 'J'HI'S year none can say lightly, "Happy- New Year". To the usual wish is added the hope that this New Year brings peace, and that good will which is essential to .'peace anywhere and everywhere, Right-thinking men and women - welcome the efforts of the President of the United States to unite all religious forces for peace in a practical way. Through their official leaders. Catholics, Pros testants and Jews have responded promptly "to President Roosevelt's recent appeal that their spir itual strength be united in a solid front to all other forces working for peace in the world. That this action is born of dire necessity becomes more apparent as the insanity of war unfolds from day to day. A new power can be created through such a unity born of "the love of truth and right" and of "the common love of good": One thing is certain : that, until Christians forget their differ ences through an overwhelming common aim, there will never be realized Tennyson's immortal New Year's wish "Ring out the thousand wars of old. Ring in the thousand years of peace." Holiday Casualties 1VIORE than the' usual number of casualties have occurred during! the holidays to sadden many homes in Macon county. While sonve were' cele brating with family gatherings and Christmas giv ing, others faced tragedy in the violent, deaths' of loved ones. The sympathy of those who have been blessed this season with joy and happiness goes out to their neighbors who have suffered through some disaster. There are always accidents that could not have been foreseen. Others are caused by . those evils that are as unnecessary as they , are tragic. This knowledge comes too late to save present unfor tunate victims. Every one of these cases should be met with increased determination on the part of the law and other forces that make for the welfare of the humblest citizen, that these causes be studied and removed. But further than this, new influences for good must be supplied if crime and misery are to be supplanted by wholesome conditions. Greetings to The Thomasville Tribune HTHE star of another weekly newspaper has risen in North Carolina's firmament. The Thomas ville Tribune published its first issue on December 13, announcing that the first Official edition will appear January 2, 1940. Thomasville is an important industrial town, distinguished, for the manufacture of chairs more chairs than any other town in the United States. Situated in a thriving manufacturing section near High Point, Thomasville is far enough from Lex ington, the county seat of Davidson, to offer a wide field of service to a live weekly paper. Our best wishes are extended to the publisher, V. A. Kennedy ;,. the. editor, C. T. Brumfield ; and the business manager, R. Hoy Whitlow. Student Publications HTHE Mountain Trail and The Mountain Echo, . monthly .'mimeographed publications of the Highlands and Franklin high schools, respectively, deserve recognition. This we are hereby giving, along with our con gratulations to these contemporaries and to their budding journalists.

We can not resist singling out for honorable mention one little poem that is evidently written by a little girl "Christmas Tree Time" by Fay Reese of the third grade of the Highlands school. National Guardsmen of Battery D, 212th coast artillery unit, only National Guard anti-aircraft unit in New York state, load a three-inch, super-powered gun, one of 325 ordered by the government. The new weap ons, which would defend New York city in case of air attack, have a three-inch bore, fire a 28-pound projec. tile containing 253 one-half-inch lead pellets, and can fire 30 shells a minute. Guns were tested at Fort Til den, Rockaway beach, New York city. It was the first time since 1917 that a- N. Y. National Guard regiment held winter maneuvers. ' . FROM A SHUTilN.

While no one who believes in human liberty can hope, for . peace in Europe while the power of N'azi isrri is uncurbed and while the force, of Stalinism remain free to commit, at will, such crimes as the attempted rape of - Finland, there is' tangible evidence that the forces of peace, in this world, are steadily gaining power. They are gathering strength for that day, bound to come, when the creating of peace shall supersede the mak ing of war as man's principal preoccupation. Pope Pius Xll offers to the statesmen of the warring nations a program as a basis for the "just and honorable peace" that must, some day, be achieved if Christian civilization is not to perish. At Christmas time thousands pray in Bethlehem that the power of a Christ who taught a gospel of love shall again prevail and true peace come again to a distraught world. . The President of the United I Stales, a nation founded and main tained upon the principle of re ligious freedom, appoints a person al representative at the Vatican, to work together with all the forces for goml, with the heads of the Christian churches ot all creeds, lor lasting ucace. Men ot all Christian faiths, of all creeds, tot-ether with men win profess no- church affiliation yet seek the ideals of righteous under standing one with another, may surely join without rancor, with out jealousy, in a cause so great. The time may not vet be oro- pitious, the hour not yet come, when lasting peace mav be achiev ed. There are forces in the world that depend not upon honor and faith, but upon betrayal and deceit to gain their ends. Such forces must be rendered powerless and removed trom the control of neo-' pies, before peace can come. Yet, if there remains in the col lective heart of the Christian world one scintilla of faith in the 'relig ion it professes and in the teach ings of the Christ it seeks to fol low, the true and lastiinr mace must, someday, come. In the making .of that neace it is but fitting and right that religious differences be foruotten and the Christian world unite as cne in the service of the Prince of Peace. the appointment of a Presiden tial representative at the Vatican as an envoy of neace. even thnmrh it prove, by events, but a gesture. is yet a treat contribu lion to I he cause, l-or it demonstrates a read; ness on the part -of this nation to accept every chance, every oppor luniiy, io Urmg war' to an i-nd lis .significance can best Je und erstood by a studv of the rear! inne - - - ot the various warrinir imwers Everywhere it was acclaimed and, without exception, accented as the outstanding news, of the season. War is m the saddle. The Knur Horsemen of the Anocalvnse ride once more. The aposllcs of ruthless force are decreeing destruction, suffering and fearinir Heath fr.r tens ot thousands of the helpless. Free peoples are made slave na tions and the irosnel of love and human brotherhood, preached so long ago upon the shores of Gal ilee, is sneered at and laughed to scorn. Yet the dav is cnniinir mnct surely, when freedom shall anin be won by mankind and -when the lorces ot peace shall triumph over the hosts of war. When that day comes pray the peacemakers shall speak with one voice, that there shall be no weakening schism in their ranki. i 'Coed' Charmers ; r trv Ml Hi A lavish application of make-up transforms members of Princeton university's Triangle club into chor ines for their annual stage show.
