Tuesday, December 19, 1933 Let's Celebrate Properly The Good Shepherds followed the star that stood over the cradle, and were emitted to look down into the face of Babe of Bethlehem, and they heard the songs of the angels of heaven singing, "Peace on earth; good will towards men." Since that day we have had 1900 celebrations, with much rejoicing, though these celebrations have not always been a spiritual feast. Too often we celebrate in rowdyism and boisterous revelry, without a thought of the reason for Christmas. Gluttonous eating and gorgeous drinking seem to be about as far as some of us get in our thinking and acting. If we could divert the thought and acts of the peo ple that are entirely foreign to the spirit of the Christ to the things that honor His name, we would be so much happier than we are to go into the usual habits of revelry that we usually indulge in. Let this Christmas be one of real joy and happi ness through worship and service. Let us sing the carols and do all we can to imitate the acts of the Wise Men of the East and the angels who sang— "Peace on earth and good will towards men." Give the People More Money Let Congress give the people more money. An ex pansion of currency will prove advantageous in the long run. It will pay the farmer, the mechanic and all the other fellows who actually work more, and cut the profits that have heretofore been macie on their labor. Expansion will help the country get back on its feet.

Harrison Broth WILLIAMBTON'S LARGEST DEPARTMENT STORE Hold Paanutß Off the Market I> it wise to sell peanuts below the cost of produc tion when we have only one-half a crap or less and a government that is bending every effort to help boost the prices to a poit of profits? Farmers should not be afraid to hold out for better prices for the crop this year. Remember that 1932 prices were no fit standard for 1933 prices. If this crop of peanuts brings a low price it will be because the farmers weaken and rush them to market. Don't rush peanuts to market even if the prices seem reasonable, because the price will go down with a selling rush. Canvassers Should Be Investigated Is it fair to the public for great publishing houses to send out troupes of canvassers to sell their papers who put up stories to arouse the sympathy of the pub ilc by claiming that they are students trying to work their way through school and unless the public helps them they will miss an education? We have noticed several such gangs recently, pa rading to the homes and business houses in this town. Their prices are considerably higher than the same publications can be bought otherwise. Nor does the public know that the very publishers who were represented in Williamston recently are now getting three million dollars each year from the Gov ernment—that amount representing the loss by the Post Office Department in serving this publication. We hope no worthy young man or woman who de sires an education will be turned down.. Yet we hope the public will make due inquiry whenever a group of people who represent publishing houses worth many millions and which are able to pay legitimate salaries or commissions, come to them with the gag of appeal ing to sympathy. What's a Vice President For Anyway? The question what is a vice president for, has never been definitely answered, because of the many vari ations of thir activities, at least if they had any ac tivities. In the Hoover administration, Vice President Cur tis' only fame was created by a social sister named Mrs. Gann. So far in the Roosevelt administration, the Texas papers have made no announcement furth er than that Vice President Garner went hunting and brought in a deer and a few birds. They failed to say who killed them. Happenings and the New Amendment Two thousand dollars were stolen from a Beaufort County farmer recently; ten thousand dollars were robbed from the vaults of a bank in Gatesville this week; a post office in Detroit was robbed of approxi mately $60,000 this week. All of that happened since the enactment of the 21st amendment. Wonder if the 21st amendment is going to make liars thieves and robbers too. THE ENTERPRISE North Carolina, ' In the Martin County.
