Receipts for the day were moderate. The sale was reported by the Federal-State mar ket news service as largely a cow run with prices for all types fully 2.00 stronger than the previous sale. Most good beef cows ranged from 14.00-16.00, medium types from 12.00-14.00 and canners and cutters worked downward to 10.75. Offerings for heifers were light and prices were steady to 1.00 higher.

(Continued from Fagt One) son we soon handed her the. par cel containing all her . selections. The. deep gratitude that shone In those blue eyes certainly repaid those of us, who were in on. this wonderful project, and would have done every dime-giver's heart good to see. Then came Annie Jean. She had no list to offer but in her quiet, lady-like way told me that any thing we gave her would be all right. Did she want a coat? The brown eyes flew to the red coat lying on the counter iwhere I had purposely placed it i and in less time than it takes to write it, those brown eyes were filled with tears as the red coat was wrapped around the little girl. It fitted to a "T" and from then on, both Annie Jean and 1 were floating on clouds of consummation. A dress with a deep red flower predominating was followed, by a slip, underwear, socka, a pair of saffron-colored woolen gloves, galoshes and a woolen , head scarf that carried deep tones of red, saffron and dark green., Somehow, this little nine-year-old girl so typified the appreciate nf ii h chosen children that I will always carry her in my mind, as a shining example of the won derful work carried on by the Lions club here in Waynesville. Patrolman Roberts told me aft erwards that his young charge, Johnny, was so co-operative that he was outfitted in rapid-fire time. Mr. Roberts would ask Johnny,! "Do you want a coat?" to which Johnny would reply, "Yes, m am" j and if you know Mr. Roberts and his magnificent stature, you will ! get the full kick out of tUat "Yes, i m am." We both did when he , told me about it. Whatever Mr. I Roberts suggested. Johnny was ; perfectly agreeable and soon j found himself outfitted in a warm woolen jacket, gloves, stockings; ( no sissy socks for a man Johnny's , size . . . which was about nine - .... ..I rkniif rvf I unaerwear, aiunc mu his own selection. That was the one instance in which he asserted himself . . . and the shoes certain ly would he of service so well con structed were they. As we all gathered at a desig nated place. Mr. Roberts extended gifts of his own purchasing . . . skip ropes for the girls and a truck for Johnny. In spite of all suggestions, that truck found its garage salely under jonnny s strong right arm and there it re mained until we saw him safely at home where his gifts were left until he should return from school that afternoon. We took them all to their homes where they left their packages and then we finally returned them to their school for the remainder of the day. As they left the car, their thank-you-vrry-much and Merry Christmas was ample re ward for any time we had taken from our own activities. , To those of you who have given your climes ana io inose oi you who will see that the dimes get on the board before its expiration, vour thoughtfulness has paid big dividends. If you could have been along with all of the members of the Lions club who took these chos en children under their guidance, you would feel that in no way could vou have found a more fit ting place to give your bit toward making the world a happier place in which to live. A dozen dimes meant a pair of laughing eyes and a warmer body to meet the haz ards that lie in the pathway of every growing child. Did you ever stop to think that perhaps Fate might have dealt you a different hand in this great game of life and that one of these chos- ; children might have been yours.' Why don t you lane me dollar that you were going to spend 1 1 on that extra toy for your little girl ui lmi , aim uaiinici ii. iiilu lvii 'dimes for the board? Your little girl or boy wouldn't miss that one toy but I bet would get a far i greater kick out of knowing some little chosen child was getting a warm pair of gloves or needed un- ! .derwear. As for me, that Thursday morn ing was one of the episodes in my life that will linger in my memory long after Carrier Mae,. Jennie Lee, Annie Jean and Johnny have grown into the promising young people we expect them to be. It gave me a view into hearts and minds that I would not have no other way of exploring . . . and it also gave me the idea that I certainly wanted to be in on this same expedition next year . . . only in a bigger and better way. Mr. Roberts takes the same slant on this affair as I do and I feel sure his enjoyment of the whole morning was as deeD 1 1 ' and full as was mine. He has giv en extensively of his time and tal enls on the dime board, too. tvory dime that you were go ing to put on the dime board will bo as happy as you are if you will see that it has a twin brother to go along with it. Your Christ mas win indeed oe a very merry 1 one and vou will feel that Hwn 1 1 warmth of having been a part of the holiday season.
