CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART
What is the though of Christmas?
GIVING.
What is the hope of Christmas?
LIVING.
What is the joy of Christmas?
LOVE.
No silver or gold is needed for giv
ing, If the heart is filled with Christ
mas love;
For the hope of the world is kindly
living,
Learned from the joy of God a
bove. '

THE CHILDREN'S SURPRISE
Twas the night before Christmas,
All the children were in bed;
While dreams of old Santa
Danced in their heads.
They were all sound asleep,
When a sudden noise
Awakened them. It sounded
Like the rumbling of toys.
No wonder they heard it,
For to their great surprise
Down the chimney came Santa
Looking very wise.
He was dressed all in fur
From his head to his toe;
'''And as jolly and plump
As always, you know.
He filled all the stockings
With candy and toys;
yZfflT&se, up the chimney
Hf Without making a noise.
He sprang to his sleigh
In the moonlight, so clear;
And shouted, "A Merry Christmas,
And a Happy New Year."

CHRISTMAS WITH THE MOUSE
It was the night before Christmas,
When all through the house,
Crept a sharp-eyed little mouse.
He ran across the room
To the tall Chrismas tree
To see what he could see.
He saw a piece of chocolate candy
He though that it would be very
dandy.
For he liked everything that was
Or most Everything that was good
to eat.
He went to the Jack-in-the-box and
began' to scratch,
When suddenly, he lifted the latch;
And out jumped the little old wee
man,
And scared him so he never came
back again.

JIMMIE'S CHRISTMAS
It was the day before Christmas
tfn Chicago. The rich people were
hurrying along the street, but none
paid any attention to Jimmie, a lit
tle orphan boy. Two years ago, his
father had died, and only a month
ago his mother had died. Since
then he had wandered abnut the city
half frozen and almost starved.
He was wandering about the
streets, looking in the shop windows
at the toys and good things to eat.
TTo wished he could have some for
Christmas. He would have liked j
some clothes and something to eat j
more than the toys, for he was very
n1d and hungry.
He was looking in a shop window,
when a kind lady came by. She
liked children and spoke to him. He
looked up and she said, "My boy,
where do you live, and who is your
father T"
Jimmie said, "I have no home and
no father or mother."
The lady said, "Will you go and
live mith me? You shall have
good clothes, food and many toys.
W will have a good time together."
"Yes, I will go and live with you,"
Jimmie said. "Who are youT"
"I am Mrs. Jones," she said.
iCome, let's go, for we must get
'Tady for Christmas.
Jimmie went along and she bought

ernor General of that Dominion.
some clothes for him. They went
to her home, and he had a good sup
per and a good bed to sleep in. It
was the first time he had felt com
fortable in a long time, and he was
soon asleep.
The next morning, he had a good
breakfast. After breakfast, Mrs.
Jones led him into a beautiful room
and in it there was a pretty Christ
mas tree. There were many toys,
candy and nuts for Jimmie. He was
happy and very glad ho had come to
live with Mrs. Jones.

MARSHALL
A meeting of some of the church

Shooting Bears
In The Kitchen
Women all over the country
probably applauded the re-i
cent statement of t h e First
Lady of the land when she
told the annual convention of
the Girl Scouts of America
that it takes as much courage
to wash dishes three times a
day as to shoot a bear. "Girl
Scout work teaches young
girls the importance of house
work," she added.
"There is a thrill even about
the prospect of meeting a bear
that is absent from most
housework. If the blood runs
fast among the perils of the
kitchen, it may be over the

EARLY iN JANUARY
Commodore Emmett Gudger, one of the large
stockholders in the Bank of French Broad, came
down Friday from New York with reference to
the opening of this bank. Com. Gudger is our au
thority for the statement that the bank will,
without doubt, open early in January, 1931. As'
the bank is in the hands of the State, it must wait
for the machinery of the State to open it, and we
are glad to announce to our readers that the o
pening will be very soon.
china cup, the burning of the
roast, or the discovery of a
mouse. The ordinary routine
of three meals a day, clean
clothing, a clean house, is
quite enough. Many women
consider housework mere
drudgery, and what man who
has ever tried it will blame
them?
But in the simple task of
dishwashing women may hold
one of the keys to the family's
health, physicians tell us. If
this task is performed so thor
oughly that micro-organisms
are removed from forks,
spoons, cups, glasses, and oth
er articles that are conveyed
directly to the mouth, there
can be no passing of commu
nicable disease germs around
the table by this method.
These are the frontiers of
modern life, these are the
"bears" that stalk the family j
forest. A woman who sees
clearly their place in the de
velopment of a safe environ
ment flies the gallant flag of
courage over the humdrum
wash tub and bath tub and

Christmas Goes Modern
More than 1,000 of these futuristic
Christmas trees have been set out
on Hollywood Boulevard in the film
capital.
"RADIO" SURGICAL
OIFE
Dr.
Cuti.m won't hr.ve to sharpen
his dull knife before making an inci
sion now. The Westinghouse X-ray-Co.
has developed a new "radio"
surgical knife that sears as it cuts.
By this remarkable invention the
or-
umary sieei sewing needle is con-
verted into an ultra-sharp "blade"
j-sharper than any knife. This is
accomplished by shooting a neculiar
electric current through the needle.
CHRISTMAS CHEER
FOR NEEDY
The Marshall school, at the sug
gestion of the principal, Mr. D. M.
Robinson, is providing some Christ
mas cheer for some needy families
this season instead of having a num
ber of Christmas trees, as has been
the case heretofore. A list of quite
a number of families has been se
cured from the pupils and others in
terested in the school, and each
school room is taking care of cer
tain families. Food, Clothing, Christ
mas tovs. and so forth, will be taken
about Christmas Day to brighten the
day for the unfortunates.

MAN MAY STRUT
"If we could only fall into the la
dies' arms wi-.hout falling into .hdr
hand!" a wit once moaned. But
now and then it seems the ladies do
a bit of fairly obvious falling into
masculine hands. For example, the
i new sports clothes for winter re-
, sorts now being: shown in the fashion
marts of the world have a way a
bout them which surely shows a
man's hand. There are the new du
rene beach pajamas that spring
S without doubt from the Latin "ho
j mo." . The,' little lustrous cotton po
lo shirts so popular with tweed
suits and for active sports are un
deniably masculine in origin. In
short, if man wants to strut he can
about the influence in the clothes
that women wear. And this in the
face of an international movement
for "romantic" clothes! Well now,
come to think of it, man may have
suggested them, too

IF WE ONLY HAD
"If we only had
the money!"
'What a multitude of unfulfilled
that phrase!
Every day the doctor, th" nurse,
the tuberculosis executive savs. "If
we only had the money, we could do
this, that or the other thing We
could build a preventorium, we could
employ those extra nurses, we could
examine and X-Ray the school chil
dren and provide treatment for such
as need it; we could find and provide
for the undernourished child, we
could carry on these much needed
studies of our problem w hat
couldn't we do, if we only had the
money."
This is not, however, the wail of
a despairing soul, nor the last gasp
of a lost cause. It is rather a chal-
leger to newer and greater opportu
nities, to carry on more vigorously
than ever before.
The Christmas seal sale gives you
at t his holiday season a
chance to meet this challenge. Buy
Christmas seals and bring hope to
those who are looking for your sup
port of the tuberculosis campaign.

by buying more seals this year of
need than ever before. ; ?.
