Lake Junaluska. An imnriv
service was held for this occasion
the last of November. The build
ing will be of native sranito
pipe organ and stained glass win
dows installed. Rev. J. E. Sampley,
who lives near the dmdospiH h..c!
ton Conference settlement, is the
pastor of this forward looking
church.
The B. F. Boy-kins of Corrollton,
Georgia, have made a second trip
to their home here since the seasnn
closed. Maybe they will make this
their regular home and make visits
to their home in Georgia.
Rev. and Mrs. John Moore are
still here. I beiieve it is too cold
in Charlotte for them. A number
of couples have rented various
homes around the Lake sensible
folks. We have quite a winter
colony now. One of our pcrma
nents Mrs. Klopp, has been ill, but
is better now.
Rev. Mr. Baylor has not been
very well, but we hope he will be
better soon.
Work is started on a radio station
near Soco Gap. This is to be used
by the highway p.itrol. The station
will have a tower 97 feet high and
a 10 x 12 concrete building. It
will be fittted with the new modu
lated frequency type.
Waynesville has just finished a
new water line that is expected to
furnish 300.000 more callous of
water daily than has been. The
new line is about two miles in
length. Waynesville and Lake
Junluska are fortunate in having
a pure water supply that doesn't
have to be treated with chemicals.
The Waynesville Mountaineer re
cently carried the picture of a 500
pound bear that was killed by
luinters not so very far from here.

On Christmas morning, 1942, In
Japanese-occupied Manila, Elisa
beth Concepcion, American citizen,
carefully measured six little scoops
of horse corn that were breakfast
rations for two and set them on the
stove for a two-hour boil. As she
worked she planned the Christmas
dinner she would prepare for her
self and her husband, M. de Gracia
Concepcion, Philippine writer. It
was to be a finger-sized piece of
dried fish and some soup made by
boiling chicken bones.
That night the Conccpcions and
their friends gathered in a little
secret celebration of the birthday
of the Naarene. They had no
Christinas tree, no gifts, no candles
and no least. The holiday fare
was simply courage, but a high
Jinlit of faith and hope lit the
board.
"There must be millions like
us toniKht," thouchl Mrs. Con
cepcion, as she ulanccU around
the circle. "And if I ever get
out of this war alive. I'm coins
to do soniethiiiK to help them."
Today Elisabeth Concepcion. who
was repatriated May 2, 1945, de
votes her time to making life hap
pier and more comfortable for
those who live in countries devas
tated by war. As head of the Ma
terial Aid Project of the National
lioaid of the Young Women's
Christian Association, she directs

WASHINGTON ( AP ) Special

bers of the Byrd 1939-41 Antarctic
Expedition. Sixteen of the 159
men on the expedition were at the
ceremony, including the expedi
tion's commander Rear Admiral
Richard E. Byrd Medals will be
forwarded the others.
The presentation occurred as a
new American Navy expedition
prepared to leave the United
States for the South Pole area.

ral Richard H Cruzen and Capt.

pine Congress he would recom
mend an amendment to the Philip
pine Citizenship Law. permitting
members of the Seouls to retain
their Philippine citizenship. He
termed it "unfortunate" that the
present laws withdraw the right of
citizenship from a Filipino who has
joined the United States Army.
Every Filipino who joined the
crack Scouts Division, the Presi
dent said, did so knowing he was
serving the best interests of his
own people and nation.
"Our special relationship with
the United States and the purpose
for which the Scouts were organ
ized fully justifies that conviction,"
he added.
CAMP O'DONNKLL, The Philippines--(
AP) Philippine President
Manuel Hoxas declared recently in
a National Heroes' Day address
that an agreement had been
reached permitting the United
States to establish bases in the
islands for mutual defense.

Army's reformed division of the
Philippine Scouts, Mr. Koxas ssid,

No other announcement, either
in Manila or Washington, has yet
been made that the final agree
ment over the establishment of
bases has been reached by the two
governments.
The President declared (hat the
Philippine Scouts who virtually
were wiped out in the Bataan cam

of tallow candles. They melt the
tallow and pour it into the carton,
holding a good sized cotton string

melting candles of different color,
they make a layer of each one and
let it cool before they apply the
next layer. As a result sonic of
the candles look like bricks of ice
