With two-way Citizens Band radio mobile units, the REACT men will patrol the counties' highways from 8 p.m. until 1 a m on weekends through New Year's Eve, spotting and reporting drunken drivers, reckless driving, drag racers and other violators directly to the Patrol. Charlie Long, Troop G. Sergeant, said that he will have some 19 units on the highways and that all leaves have been cancelled through the holidays. With the death toll on North Carolina roads run ning well ahead of last year, Sgt. Long said more than half are due to alcohol and speeding and commended the REACT Team for giving up their holiday time to assist the Highway Patrol. The REACT Team, commanded by Chief Arnold Robinson of Weaverville, Assistant Chief Willie Crawford, of Jupiter and Capt. Wallace Gerringer of Swannanoa, request all Citizens Band operators in Western North Carolina to cooperate by helping to keep the working channel on the radio as clear as possible during these operations. One missed transmission can mean the difference between life and death for someone. Both Long and Robinson stress the fact that this is not an effort to make wholesale arrests, but a con certed effort to keep drinking drivers off the road during pea;k traffic periods. So, if you drink, don't drive. Madison County radio operators can be of great service to this operation by reporting drinking or reckless drivers to the Team's transmitter in the Buncombe County courthouse on Channel One. We plead with local drivers to be cautious during the holidays. Be a transportation specialist. In the Army Reserve.

LESSON TEXT: Luke 1:26-38 2:1-20 Before this coming week is over we will have celebrated the anniversary of the greatest day the world has ever known. The birthday of the Christ Child, who came into the world to minister to mankind, and to give up His life for us, that we might be saved. It is therefore fitting that the predominant note in the Christmas message is joy: One might think that, with repetition, the story of that first Christmas might become hackneyed and without true meaning. This will never be the case if it is approached with the reverence which it is due, for the celebration of Christ's birth warms all hearts, and provides an oasis of peace and a sense of well-being on an earth that faces threats of war, violence and problems, on an almost daily basis. The height of every Jewish woman's ambition was to be the mother of the Messiah, but this privilege was granted to the humble Mary. She was to become the mother of the "Son of God; "and while this favored estate was to bring much joy into her life, it was also to bring her insupportable pain, as the ordained life of Christ moved majestically towards its un bearable and tragic close. The journey to Bethlehem undertaken by Mary and Joseph despite the eminent birth of her child, was the outcome of an edict of Rome. Taxes were to be paid to that sovereign nation, and every person was to journey to the place of his birth, so that a census might be held. With the influx of so many people into the ancient city, it was no wonder that the little family, drawing close to that time which was to be so im portant to all the world, was told there was no room at the inn ! Who can truly criticize the harassed innkeeper for failing to find a comfortable room for the mother-to-be? It must ever be to his credit that he DID provide a place of privacy for her and her baby, no matter how rude and humble the surroundings! Christ still looks for a place to stay.. .this time in US! How do we respond to this seeking? Do we turn Him away. ..or do we "move over" and welcome Him into our crowded and busy lives? It is noteworthy that the angels who brought the good news of Christ's birth to the shepherds did not TELL them to go looking for the Christchild. The shepherds, of their own volition, started their search for a babe in swaddling clothes, who had been bom in a manger. . .spreading their great news as they went. Their response was spontaneous! Again. ..a question . .what about OUR response, today, to the good news of Christ? Oh .the Christmas story holds hope for peace on earth and peace of soul. We can ill afford to turn our back on this great gift, evidence of God's unremitting care for mankind! Manger and cross must both be remembered, as well as the open tomb. Christ was born a Savior; He died a Savior; HE IS THE SAVIOR, STILL... this is the good news of the Christmas Season!

Medical Academy Likes "The Pill" BURLINGTON WAGE HIKE Burlington Industries an nounced Friday that pay In creases for most of its 55,000 wage employes will go Into effect this month. Charles A. McLendon, vice president for personnel for the textile firm, said the increases are within the 5"4 per cent guidelines set down by the Pay Board. Burlington made application to the Pay Board Oct. 25 for permission to increase wages and has made follow up requests since that date. But the Pay Board revealed this week that its regulations say that prior approval Is not necessary if the wage ad justment is "permitted to take effect in accordance with regulations issued by the Pay Board." According to the special provision, if the wage increases sought by Burlington, Dan River and other firms were in line with past policy and board guidelines, they could have been implemented more than two weeks ago. 'Recent regulations and opinions issued by the Pay Board make it possible for Burlington to go ahead with its wage increase plans without waiting for Pay Board approval as long as the increases are in keeping with the guidelines," McIendon said. Mcljendon said the effective dates of the increases would vary among the company's 30 manufacturing divisions, but most would be for pay periods beginning at different dates during December. Not affected are 15,000 salaraied employes. The J. P. Stevens & Co. an nounced it was raising pay for its 40,000 production workers, saying it would become ef fective Dec. 13. There's more to do...
