The Pearl
and the Price
JVlost people know
the parable' of the “pearl of
great price,” and the man who
sold all that he had to buy. it
(Matt. 13:46).
Have you ever asked 'your
self what it meant.^
The “price” is our surrender
of the afflictive |iuman thiuk-
ing causing our tn)ubles. How
to give up these liuinan fears,
how to grasp and find freedom
would indeed be “the pearl.”
The way of this liberating
understanding is explained fully
in the Christian Science text
book, “Science and Health witli
Key to the Scriptures,” by
'' Mary Baker Eddy. Whoever
win put its statements to the
test will find this great Science
of Christianity to be demon-
steable.

Airmen Work For
Christmas Joy At
Four Orphanages
To almost 300 youngsters of
three North Carolina orphanages,
the Christmas tree decorations
will be brighter and the yuletide
spirit gayer this year because Old
Saint Nick’s traditional red gar
ments yvill be hiding the uniform
of Air Force Blue.
The three orphanages — Falcon
orphanage near Fayetteville, the
Freewill Baptist orphanage at
Dunn, and the colored orphanage
at Oxford—will be visited by San
ta as part of Pope Air Force base’s
“Operation Christmas.”
The personnel of Pope have al
ready contributed more than
$2400, and gifts are continuing to
pour in.
“Operation Christmas” started
when two airmen in headquarters
squadron of the Ninth Air Force
learned that the management of
Falcon orphanage near Fayette
ville needed help in buying
Christmas presents for its chil
dren. They told some of their
buddies at Pope, and as the word
spread over the base, a spontane
ous desire to help the orphans re
sulted in the formation of a com
mittee of airmen to receive con
tributions for a Christmas party.
Orphanages Visited
Once started, the operation has
grown by leaps and bounds in its
first few days of existence. Pope
personnel heard of other orphan
ages in the area who needed as
sistance, and the committee of air
men visited three other orphan
ages within a 75-mile radius. Two
of these orphanages—the Freewill
Baptist orphanage of Dunn and
the Colored orphanage at Oxford
—were deemed needy of Christ
mas help and were added to the
operation.
The management of the third
orphhnage, the Masonic orphahage
of Oxford, stated that it needed no
financial assistance, but the com
mittee plans to try to arrange for
Santa to drop in there on a brief
visit while he is on his rounds to
the other orphanages.
Enlisted Men Do Work
Almost all of the work of organ
izing and launching “Operation
Christmas” was done by the en
listed men at Pope. The two air
men who originally heard of the
need existing at Ffflcon and start
ed the operation were M|Sgt. J. F.
Boyland and T|Sgt. G. H. Truston
of the Inspector General’s office
of Ninth Air Force headquarters.
Sergeant Truston is now serving
as vice chairman of the base-wide
committee, which is handling ar
rangements for buying and dis
tributing the gifts'.
However, senior officers at Pope
are lending their whole-hearted
support to the operation. It was
formally endorsed by Col. Ernest
K. 'Warburton, acting commanding
general of the Ninth Air Force,
and Col. F. F. Chetlain, Ninth In
spector Geiieral, is serving as
chairman of the “Operations
Christmas” committee.
In addition to providing Christ
mas Cheer for the orphans, “Op
erations Christmas” will contri
bute to the future well-being of
Falcon children.
' Bus Gets Overhaul
One of the sources of income at
' Falcon is its traveling choir which
I presents choral programs in east-
em North Carolina. However, the
committee learned that the bus
used to transport the choir has
been broken down for several
weeks and the management has
been unable to have it repaired.
■Willing airmen towed the bus to
Pope Field AFB where skilled
mechanics are completely over-
County Chbrus
Will Hold Fourth
Meeting Saturday
The Moore County chorus will
hold its fourth meeting at 3 p.m.
Saturday in the Sunday School
room of the Carthage Presbyte
rian church. Songs will be sung,
and their appreciation studied, un
der direction of Dean Robert
Smith, Scottish-bom head of the
music department of Flora Mac
donald college and director of the
college chorus.
Sponsored by th ecounty home
demonstration office, the county
chorus is for the home demonstra
tion clubwomen and members of
their families, and also for anyone
else who would like to join in for
an enjoyable musical experience.
Moore is oeiieved to be the only
county in this section, perhaps the
only one in the state, to have such
a project under way.- Starting
with 11 members, the chorus had
grown to 23 by the titme of the
last monthly^ meeting, and the ex
pectation is that more members
are' to be added.
Greater enjoyment of music in
the home, with enhanced appreci
ation by all members of the fam
ily, is the chief motivation behind
the choral meetings. Singing tal
ent is not required. However, sev-
hauling and reconditioning it in
their off-duty hours.
Several hundred dollars of “Op
eration Christmas” funds are be
ing diverted to purchase parts,
paint and upholstery needed for
the reconditioning. The recondi
tioned bus will be presented to
the children at their Christmas
party.
Current indications are that
contributions will be enough to
buy warm hats and gloves for all
the children, in addition to indi
vidual toys and candy. Any mon
ey left over will be used to pur
chase equipment, such as radios
and stoves, for the orphanage.
eral members of country church
choirs in the group report much
benefit from their practice under
Dean Smith’s experienced direc
tion.
The meetings are generally held
on the last Friday of each month.
This time, the date has been mov
ed up on account of Christmas ac
tivities. All interested in singing,
or just listening, are welcome to
attend, said Miss Flora McDonald,
county home demonstration agent.
