School Notes.-" ,, The Carthagt graded- school closed Wednesday at noon and will re-open on January 2, unless the weather should become too severe. This has been very busy Week, what with the*- basketball' games and the play Tuesday night, and tests on the last two days also. But with it all, the students had time to meet in chapel and get into the Christmas spirit properly by singing Christmas carols. On Tuesday evening at the Parent Teacher association meeting the dra matic club of the Carthage high school presented a very beautiful Christmas play, “Why the Chimes Rang,” under the able direction of Miss Catherine Shankle and Miss Mary Ruth Bruton. Stage scenery was made* by members of the dramatic club. It was an artistic and well exe cuted piece of work and showed that the dramatic department is really do ing some very worthwhile work. On Wednesday morning at the clos ing exercises for the holiday season, Miss Julia Thompson's room present ed an attractive Christmas play, and the student body made their presenta tion of gifts for the poor under the large decorated Christmas tree in the j auditorium. It is the custom to hold this White Christmas service- each year in the Carthage high school, and, as usual, the response from the stu dent body was very generous. Mrs. Brown selected the needy cases to whom the gifts were distributed with the aid of the girl scouts. Tire basketball season is upon us once more. Carthage boys and girls have each won two gamse and lost one. Coach Waltre Peebles certainly puts ’em through their paces during practices, and no foolishness is tol erated. He really is a most efficient coach and Carthage ought to win some games this season. If we don’t it will not be the fault of the coach ing but a lack of material. Mr. Clay ton certainly does work hard at his job and he knows his stuff, too. Junior Woman’s Club The Carthage Junior Woman’s club held its regular meeting on Tuesday, December 12, at the home of Miss Rozelle Williamson, with the presi dent, Mrs. Jim Muse, presiding. Guest speaker for the evening was Mrs. Charles Pearce, president of the state federation of junior clubs, who discussed the history of junior clubs in North Carolina and the United States and callled attention to the very fine work they are doing. During the business meeting it was learned that Mrs. J. Talbot Johnson of Aberdeen has accepted the invita tion of the Carthage club to act as its sponsor, an dapplication has been made for membership under the state federation. The entertainment committee serv ed cake and coffee. Drummer Killed And Bus Burned" A new bus^of the Queen City lines, and a Tep*Ksce car were completely destroyeo by fire in a wreck that oc curred about 9:30 o'clock Saturday night on the River hill five miles west of Rockingham on Highway . 74. The driver of the. car, C. D. Moss, Jr„ was instantly killed. None of the 11 passengers on the bus were hurt. Mr. Moss, about 35, lived at Memphis and -traveled for the Chat tanooga Medicine company, with his headquarters at Fayetteville. He was said to be on his way to Charlotte alone! . The point where the wreck occurred was on a hill 100 yards from a curve. Tracks indicated that the car had t failed to straigten out after rounding thd curve and had gotten out of con trol. The passenger bus was coming up the hill in intermediate gear at about 25 miles an hour; the driver said he observed the out-of-control ear ap proaching and brought his bus almost to a stop before the side of the car jammed into the front of his bus and teetered almost off the road. The car burst into flames immedi ately. The bus driver and a passen ger hurried to the car and pulled Mr. Moss out, dead, his neck broken gnd chest crushed. The bus was not over turned; the passengers got out and later continued on their way in a sec ond bus that was a few feet behind the wrecked one. ; There was no time to move the bus, and it caught fire from the car and both were utterly consumed. The bus was a large one and.had just been put in commission a few weeks ago. The highway traffic was blocked for over an hour. The body of Mr. Mos9 was sent last night to, his home at Memphis, where his wife lives. _ rg “America’s Newest; „ Bance — and How to Do It.” The A'mericonga ex plained ■ in words and pictures in a full page every dancer will want to see in The American Weekly Maga zine, with next Sunday’s Washington Times-Herald, now on sale at your news stand. » Marjorie Wambeck, of Worcester,1 Mass., while eating a hot dog, bit her thumb so hard she had to have a doctor sew it up.

Russian Soldiers Wear Shoddy Clothes V r ■ - I The V (flmpl^minded people all oter the Wo*Id Who have been proclaiming what Russia has done for its people, may now see how little has been done for the common soldiers being sent into battle. A Finnish dispatch says that Russian soldiers taken prisoners have frozen feet. Their shoes, thin and of poor quali ty, accounted for the fiozen feet. Only ohe wore the traditional Russian felt knee-high boots. One had wrapped his shqes with gunny-sacking. Their Uniiortns were of a cotton, quilted ma terial entirely unsuited for this kind of climate. Their overcoats were thiok but were rough and of poor quality. They wore cotton under , When asked whether their clothing was warm enough, one replied, “Well, that depends on the weather. When it freezes, we freeze.” In reply to questions he said: “I was working in a factory in Leningrad when I was called into the army. I do not know what the war is abgut. None of us are mem bers of the Communist party. “I was getting 145 rubles a month salary. They told me I would get half that much in the army but I got only ten. For food we got porridge or barley once a day and about three and three-quarter pounds of bread for each five men. We were supposed to get about one and a quarter ounces of meat a day but we never got it. are given by number.

LOVE Culdee Man Was of An Under standing aand Unselfish Na ture; Had Many Friends OLD RESIDENT SUCCUMBS Dan H.- Love, age 68 years, died at his home on Carthage R-3 Sunday night, Dec. 10th, after several months of failing health. A life long resident of Moore coun ty, he was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Love. He was for nearly half a cen tury a member of Culdee Presbyter ian church, having been converted in the year 1892, at which time 92 new members \Vere added to the church under the potent preaching of the Rev. Mr. Eldridge. Dan Love’s was an understanding and unselfish nature. His wise council and dependable advice was often sought by those who knew him best. :is optimism and sense of humor were contagious and many an over anxibus brow was made smoother be cause of this. Dan Love was in many ways the most useful map in his com munity. No task was too hard and no weather too bad for him to leave his fireside if by so doing he might serve his fellowman. Not only does the entire commun ity sympathize with the bereft fam ily, but the loss of a kind friend and good neighbor is sincerely mourned. To review the life of this,:man is to be reminded of the familiar words, \ “Let him that-’ would be greatest among you/be servant unto the oth ! ors.”' ' t :' Tlie body was laid to rest Tuesday morning, Dec. 12th, at 11 o’clock in Culdee cemetery in the presence of a host of sorrowing ones.

Funeral servicess were conducted at 3 o’clock Friday evening at Beulah Hill church by Rev. Ernest Hancock of Star, pastor of the church, and Rev. Leslie Thompson of Troy, pastor of Presbyterian churches in Montgom ery county. t The floral offerings were profuse and beautiful. The flower girls were Mrs. L. L.

Tempo, of War Steps Up Some Faster '"“'People who have been wanting a little more pep in the war are now getting it somewhat. A real sea battle look place when the German Graf Spee was disabled by British cruisers and was afterwards sunk by her own captain. Great Britain claims that she, has put much of Germany’s sea force, out of action, though German mines | and aircraft are still sinking merch antmen. | And yesterday the greatest air bat tle since .the world war took place over Germany’s naval base, Helgo land, when a large number of British and German planes clashed. The Ger mans as usual claimed everything. Somewhere fro* thirty to fifty planes on each side must have been engaged. The British admit loss of seven, while Germans said they shot down 34 planes, which was not true. Meanwhile the Russians are still bombing and slashing at little Fin land, while as a result of the action of the League of Nations in expelling Russia, Finland will get material if not military aid from France, Eng land and other countries. While the western front is standing still, air and sea battles rage with more and more fury. The English are satisfied that not only have the seas secure hut that they vyll soon, have air superiority, * < ; . * '■» - f 14 , * » .h*.,,,„ .. . ... .... , iiiutmiay, .meet Some of You Will Send the Pall of Death Into Happy Homes Christmas Since Christmas is so much the time for giving’, it might me well to think of giving something of inestimable value. We cannot create life, but cu riously enough modern automobile traffic has put every driver in the po sition of either taking lives or saving lives. Saving lives is always a desir able end. At Christmas time, the saving of life takes on an added beau ty, drawn from the beauty of the sea Think what it means to a family to lose a member at Christmas. When the cause is age, or a. lingering ill ness, there is at least some degree of preparation. True, the grief may be no less, but it is softened by expecta How much more' tragic is sudden and violeht death! The family group is in the ljiidst of holiday preparations. Relatives and friends are coming. There will bo another of those happy reunions. Suddenly the word comes. The door bell or the phone rings. An excited voice announces the news. Some family member has been killed or injured. Christmas, the time of good cheer, of happiness, of gifts ana laughter. All is wiped out. There will be but little cheer, little happiness, no laugh ter. Death is an unwelcome visitor at Christmas.. A broken, crushed body makes a poor addition to the holiday spirit. The little son or daughter awaiting that strange ecstacy of Christmas morning. Older sons and daughters full of cheerful plans. Fa ther and mother with hearts full of happiness at having the children home again. Give lives for Christmas! For un less you do, Mr. Driver, unless you are careful, Mr. Pedestrian, during this month over 90 families will have trag edy as a guest for Christmas. Ninety people will not see Christmas. It is depressing to think of the criminal carelessness of it ail. One ounce of care arid caution, one ounce of Christmas cheer expressed as courtesy on street and highway, one ounce of good-hu mored patience will save lives not only at Christmas time, but every day. Give lives for Christmas. No other gift will do so much for every one. Make this a IV^crry Christmas. Card of Thanks Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Sadler and chil dren wish to thank each and every one for the kindness and sympathy ren dered during the illness and death of their mother and grandmother, Mrs. Flora Margaret Smith. 2R0LLS.aDndvS«d 40c (except MM film) UNTIL Mar. 15, ’40 Free price list.
