Board of Health, the chief cause of death in Mad ison County, as well as the state and nation, is diseases of the heart and blood vessels. 1956 figures reveal that in Madison County 78 deaths were attributed to this cause. Cancer resulted in 18 deaths; accidents, 14; influenia-pneumonia, 6; pre maturity, If diabetes, 1. In North Carolina, 17,125 died of heart and blood vessel diseas es. Nationally, these diseases re sulted in 58.9 of all deaths. In North Carolina, the figure is just over "81. Secretary Benson recently dis cussed what he called the "anat omy of the cost-price squeeze." He said that farmers who feel daily the impact of the cost-price squeeze realize the effect of in flated costs; on net income,' and pointed out that . although the 1957 gross farm income is up a bout $25 billion above 1939, the realized net income is up only a bout 88 billion. ' , . . Mr. Bensdn explained that the realized, cross fartiK income m 1957 was exceeded only twice an that was during the Korean War, He raid if farm costs had stabi lized at the 1948 level, then the 1967 realized net income would have been higher by about 84 bil lion, or about one-third. .Some examples given by Mr. Benson of the increase in prices paid by farmers in the last year included: Motor vehicles, up 6; farm machinery, 6; farm real estate taxes, 5 ', farm supplies, ! and so on.

Frank Fisher, treasurer of the Madison County United Ap peal, announced this week that pledges to date have amounted to $11,200.00 or 73 of the total goal of $15,326.76.

He announced that to date, $2,203.00 or 14, had actually been collected on the 1958 bud get. He pointed out that many places throughout the county had not yet been contacted and many citizens in the rural areas had not yet pledged or paid anything.

The Christmas tree, usually an evergreen, is derived from the Roman Saturnalia and the Norse worship of trees. It was in Ger many in the 16th Century that the trees was first used as a symbol of Christmas. The cus tom was brought to England and to America in the early 1800's. The mistletoe was the sacred plant of the Druids, who were the priests of ancient Britain and Gaul (France). Holly and the symbolized protection against evil spirits in the Norse festivals. The customs of exchanging gifts can also be traced to the Roman Sat urnalia. The early Christians. of Rome hung boxes in their churches to be filled with offer ings and distributed to the needy St Christmas. The most popular Christmas legend is that of Santa Claus, who comes down the chimney on Christmas Eve to fill children's stockings with gifts.
