CHRISTMAS TREE PUT UP
BY YOUNGER BOYS
THIS YEAR
In keeping with former years,
Highlands has a Christmas tree at
the intersection of Main and Fourth
Streets, put up Saturday afternoon
by the war workers of Highlands
club under the supervision of May
or W. H. Cobb. This is a much
smaller tree than usual, and is
representive of the boys who put
it up younger boys of the com
munity who are determined to
carry on in the absence of their
older brothers ira the armed forces.
Since there may not be as many
bright Christmas, lights on the tree
as usual, the boys ' have placed
two Christmas, streamers high
overhead, branching out from the
tree, which support two large
Christmas bells, making a very at
tractive decoration for ithe center
of the village.
MOUNTAIN TRAIL
CARRIES PRIZE ESSAYS
The Christmas edition of the
Mountain Trail, Highlands school
paper, carries a splendid editorial
by Herbert Paul, editor-in-chief,
as ! well as the .two prize winning
essays in the contest recently put
o,n by that paper.
-First prize winner in the contest
was Nancy Potts. In her opening
paragraph, Miss Potts assures the
reader that hers is a Christmas
message though not the usual
"Merry Christmas" greeting, which
she said "somehow went out with
Sunday rides and two cups of cof
fee for breakfast." This prize win
ner based her essay on Rowena
Cheney's poem "Nothing that truly
lives can ever die."
The second prize-winning essay
was written by Maxie Wright and
is built around the Arabian pro
verb "I had no shoes and I mur
mured till I met a man who had
no feet." Both essays are well
written and, with the editorial,
carry very timely lessons.

State College Hints
For Farm Hotnemakers
By RUTH CURRENT
(N. C. State College)
Days are short and work will
not get done unless we plan to
make each hour count. Simplify
your housekeeping. Time-saving
short cuts can be worked but f gt
most homemaking jobs.
Make your time management
plan a family venture. It will be
more fun. Help the children to
understand that their work is
worth while. They will want to
share in working for victory.
Allow time for the companion
ship of your family and friends
as well as for work. Plan to share
ira community wartime activities.
Choose those in which you can be
of most service.
Victory takes planners, victory
planners on the home front as
well as on the battle lines.
Home-front planners work out
with their families ways of spend
things, wasting nothing, and guard
ing the strength, the health, the
happiness of their own.
Home front planners work with
their communities, stammni nut
hoarding, sharing what they have,
providing lor the needy, protect
ing and building the safety, health,
and happiness of their neighbors.
There will 'be a shortage of doc
tors, dentists and nurses as a re
sult of demands for medical units
to care for our armed forces here
and abroad. This means we must
do everything we can to insure
our families with good health. Rest,
sunshine, fresh air exercise, and
good food will help to keep the
family well. All-out victory can
not be won by people who are
all-in. Long or serious illnesses
may wrech a family spending plan.
These suggestions might help
avoid such a calamity: Set aside a
certain amount each week or
month for an emerernrv fund
Consider possibility of joining a
hospitalization plan. Enroll in Red
Cross Home Nursing and First
Aid groups. Enroll in a nutrition
group.
