I tat vp iif''ii .,--s - e in; s . 1 -h B.:irva'v ' j.t v j "r ix - a. : ' said i f4 Charles Dickens the had ;CROOGE awoke before the hour bell sounded, which it ' now did witri a deep, dull, hollow, melancholy One. Light flashed up in the room upon the instant, and the curtains of nis bed were drawn by a small, elfish creature. "I am the Ghost of Christmas Past," it said. As the words were spoken, they passed through the wall, and stood upon an open country road. "Good Heaven!" said Scrooge, "I was a boy here!" They went, the Ghost and Scrooge, to a melancholy room, made barer strll by tines of plain deal forms and desks. At one of these a lonely boy was reading near a feeble fire: Scrooge wept to see his poor forgotten self as he used to be. and glanced anxiously towards the door. It opened; and a little girl, much younger than the boy came darting in, and putting her arms about his neck, and kissing him. addressed him as her "Dear, dear brother." "I have come to bring you home, dear brother! ' the child. "Home, for good and all. Home, for ever and ever. Father is so much kinder that I was not afraid to ask him once more if you might come home; and he said Yes. you should; and sent me in a coach to bring you." "She was a dear girl," said Scrooge. "She died a woman," said the Ghost, "and had, I think, children." "One child," Scrooge returned. They proceeded and the Ghost stopped at a certain ware house door, and asked Scrooge if he knew it. "Why, it's old Fez7iwig! Bless his heart: it's Fezziwig alive again!" In came a fiddler to the warehouse and tuned like fifty stpmach-aches. In came Mrs. Fezziwig, one vast substantial smile. In came the three Mis Fezziwigs, beaming and "' r1 m mi 1'imi'iKimi Mtmw mv ' win nit loveable. In came the six young followers whose heart they broke. In came all the young men and women em- ployed In the business. They danced and ate, then danced some more, and ah were gay with the Christmas season. "My time grows short," observed the Spirit. "Quick!" Scrooge now found himself by the side of a fair young girl in whose eyes there were tears. "It matters little." she said, softly. "To you, very littje. Another idol has displaced me; and if it can cheer and com fort you in time to come, as I would have tried to do, I have no just cause to grieve." "What Ido! has displaced you?" he rejoined. "A golden one." "Spirit!" said Scrooge, "show me no more! Conduct me home. Why do you delight to torture me?" To Bt CoatiButf, AC James R. Whitehouse Now In Nashville Aviation Cadet James R.

BIRTHS Mr. and Mrs. Furman Robertson, of Waynesville, announce the birth of a son on D.c. 1. "Ceneral Ceorge S. I'atton, in my opinion, is still admired by his men. I say that after serving under him, and taking his orders on some of the campaigns in North Africa," Major John Ferry, told Rotarians here Friday. Major Perry answered the direct question after he had told of the first landings in North Africa; of the fine job the American soldiers diil in the campaign, and the men ace of land mines laid by the enemy. Major Perry was wounded when his jeep struck a land mine, and crushed his right leg. He left Sun day for further hospitalization after spending a brief stay with his family in Hendersonville. "The French greeted us upon our landing in Africa with everything they had to shoot or explode," he said, and he told of the heavy lighting to gain the beachhead. "After the French were over come, they came to our side and were supplier! aimsto tight the doi mans," he related. Major Per ry taught the Free French the use of American arms and coiuniuni-nlion.-'. He speaks French fluent ly, and spent' several months work ing with them. In February of this year his regiment went into combat, and it was while he wav out looking for a site to move his regiment for ward, that his jeep struck the land mine. The radiator of the jeep has never been found, he said, the front axel was in three pieces on top of him after the bla-t. The other three men in the jeep escap ed except for minor injuries. The major bad placed sandbags in the jeep in anticipation of striking a mine, and it was these bags of sand that saved his lifv. He told how (he retreating Ger mans would place mines every few feet, in places, and thus delay the Allied at:o'is since engineers had to go in and dig out the mines be fore t he army could march forward. The area over which he was travel ing when wounded had been worked As the unit approached the heavy fire of the enemy, the Spaniard swallowed all 12 of the tablets, explaining to the Major that he was "just preparing in case." "From what I have learned of the methods used by hi' Japanese, I prefer to light them rather than the Germans," Major Perry said. "The Germans are smart as indi viduals, wr'll trained, and can do vise so many ways of killing their enemy other than by gunfire," he said. Pvt. W. II.
