The Christmas Story ,
(Luke 2:1-20)
And it came to pass in those days that
there went out a decree from Caesar Augus
tus, that all the world should be laxed.
And this taxing was first made when Cy
renius was governor of Syria.
And all went to be taxed, everyone in his
own city.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out
ot the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the
city of David, which is callt-d Bethlehem;
because he was of the house and lineage of
David;
To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife.
beinf4 Ljreat with child.
And so it was that, while thoy were there,
the days were accomplished that she should
be delivered.
And she brought forth her lirfit born son,
and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and
laid him in a manner, because there was no
mum lor them in the inn.
And there were in the same country shep
herds abiding in the field, keeping watch
over their flock by night.
And. lo. the angel of the Lord came upon
them, and the glory of the Lord shone round
about them; and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not;
for behold I bring you good tidings and
iireat joy, which shall be to all the people.
For unto you is born thfs day in the city
of David a Saviour which rs Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign junto you; Ye shall
find the babe wrapped in twaddling clothes,
lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a
multitude of the heavenly' host praising God
and saying.
Glnrv to God in the highest and on earth
peace, good will toward men.
And it came to pass, f,s the angels were
gone "away from them into heaven, the shep
herds said one to another, Let us go even
into Bethlehem and see this thing which js
come to pass, which the Lord hath made
known to us.
And they came with haste and found Mary
and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
And when they had seen it, they made
known abroad the saying which was told
them concerning this child.
And they all heard it wondered at those
things which were told by the shepherds.
But Mary kept all these things in her heart.
And the shepherds returned glorifying and
praising God for all the things that they had
heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

VOICE
OF THE
PEOPLE
This Community Likes Good Music
A decision to proceed with plans to bring
the North Carolina Little Symphony here
next spring was reached last week, after de
ciding earlier to abandon the plan.
The Symphony has made a "hit" with mu
sic lovers of this community for the past few 1
years, and the thoughts of doing without it
this spring brought "to the surface" the de
teimmation of getting out and digging for
memberships to bring the group back.
There are not many communities that love
and appreciate good music mor than this
one. Few communities support more mu
sical projects than this one. We say that in
defense of what has already been accomplish
ed in the musical fields in Haywood.
We have a band and choral chorus that
should not be mentioned in the same sentence
with a dollar sign. Both of them have pro
vided numerous concerts and music on many
occasions. Their programs have been out
standing. The community not many weeks ago in
vested some $2,000 in the three concerts to
be dven under the sponsorship of the Com
munity Concerts.
If you could hare one wish grant
ed for Christmas, what would it
be?
Alvin Ward: "That every child
in the Woynesville area be made
li.-ippy by the Lion's Christmas
Clieer Fund."
I lovd Kippetoe: "My wish would
he that we had more funds to be
used t ,i underprivileged thil
d rcii."
Mrs. Prank Miller: "I'd pive
tveiv underprivileged child the
nice 1 Chi i-tinas po--ihle."
Mrs. Homer Plott: "I d wish that
all needy families have a nice
Christ rna."

LETTER
By JANE EADS
MIRROR OF YOUR MIND -ffi5Kigi!2.D
due to the fact that most people
are right-handed and draw, aa
they write, beginning at the left
so that their hands won't hide the
picture. But again, since it is nat
ural to start a picture at the front
of what you're drawing, profile
sketch, even of an animal, will
usually face toward your left.
Should you confess mitdeedt to your friends?
Answer: Only ii they are di
rectly involved and you'll clear
up a misunderstanding. Telling a
friend something about yourself
which you are ashamed of just to
"get it oft your chest" is likely to
do more harm than good. For one
thing, however loyal he is, it may
make him think less of you, and
what's more, you are supplying
him with ammunition which he
may use If you quarreL On the
other side, he may encourage you
to make excuses for yourself
which will only confuse the issue,
pick a wise, Impartial stranger for
such confidences.'
ill!!
Do most profile d rowing face
rh same way?
Annrer: Yes, says a Swedish
psychologist. Dr. E. Ostlyngen. An
experiment be made with 253 stu
dents confirmed his impression
that most people, when required
to draw a profile, win face It to
ward their left. He believes this is
tcnrtK wa.ta1
Is the fear of change neurotic?
Anwtr: Every baby fears
change and is disturbed even by
strange surroundings, and infan
tile characteristics are neurotic
when continued into adult life. It
is neurotic and cbUdiah to feel as
the woman did who once said to
me: 1 hate all change, even if it's
for the better." But to love change
for its own sake also shows emo
tional disturbance, for to someone
who feels this way, changa in
volves a promise of escaping prob
lems which he Is unwilling to
face. Here, as in so many other
cases. It's the happy medium
that's normal.
Mrs. Irvins l.eatherwood: "I
would wi-h that everybody could
he well and happy and families
could be logether."
Mrs. Ralph Crawford:

WIRE TALK
Some statistician has figured that
the people of this country are now
making 154.000.000 calls a day over
the telephone. This is more than
one apiece for every man. woman
and child in the United States. And
we know of some folks who do not
have telephones and others who
are too young to use the instru
ment. That would run the average
up for the rest of us.
We also know of a lot of per
sons who would like to do some
talking but whom the telephone
company has not reached yet.
There are more than 2.000 000 back
orders for telephones unfilled, ac
cording to the estimate of Andrew
J. Zimmerman, director of the de
partment of public utilities, in
Washington state.
The telephone industry has
strung over 24.000 000 miles of
wire since VJ day. Since that day,
too, we have stepped up the num
ber of our calls by about 45,000,
000 a day.
That is a lot of talk. Some of it
may be unnecessary as we are led
to believe some time by the fel
low who finds the line busy. But
much of this communication Is vit
ally tied ur with life, business, and
industry all about us. '
Telephone communication is no
longer luxury. It Is an every-day
necessity.
And it seems to be becomtnfr
more important necessity by the
minute. Shelby Star.
WASHINGTON A pair of psy
chologists have worked out a way
to hypnotize people by means of
phonograph records of a hypno
tist's voice. Mental specialists
sometimes use hypnotism to look
into the subconscious. Klton I). Mc
Neil of the University of Michigan
and Paul SDarer of Harvard say the
phonograph method:
1. Saves time and labor for the
hypnotist, who can take over where
the record leaves off with his sub
ject well in a trance provided the
subject is actually hypnotizable.
2. Enables the investigator to
select good hypnotic subjects from
among a group of people, without
going through the time-consuming
preliminaries himself.
3 Provides a standardized pro
cedure for accurately measuring
the depth and effectiveness of hyp
nosis among a number of diflerent
hypnotizable subjects since each
hears exactly the same thing.
McNeil and Sparer made their
report in the Journal of Abnormal
and Social Psychology. They said
they used the method to induce
hypnosis in 21 of 24 undergradu
ates tested. Most of the trances
were induced individually, but on
several occasions two subjects were
hynotized at once by the same rec
ord. The scientists believe the tech
nique might eventually be effec
tive on a whole group of subjects.
The subject reclines on a couch
and fixes his attention on a light
suspended above him. A loud-speaker,
hooked up with 2 different rec
ord players, is placed behind his
head. Then a fifteen-minute record
designed to induce sleep is played.
Here's an excerpt:
"Relax completely. Let every sin
gle muscle of your body go limp.
Listening carefully to my voice,
breathing deeply and evenly and
completely relaxed. You are be
ginning to grow tired now, tired
and sleepy . . . You are very drow
sy now. Very comfortable and re
laxed and feeling more sleepy
every moment . . . sleepier and
sleepier . . ."
After 15 minutes of this sandman-wooing,
the operator throws a
switch that starts up another 15
minute record. This contains five
minutes more of the sleepy-time
stuff and then the recorded voice
begins to make suggestions to the
subject such as the. subject can't
open his eyelids even if he tries,
that the subject's arm is stiff and
i he can't bend it. (Response lo these
suggestions provides a means of
measuring the depth of the trance."
"In a few moments," drones the
record, "you will hear a new voice
. . . You will respond to this new
voice just as readily as you have
been responding to mine . . . When
I count to three you will hear the
new voice. One . . . two . . . three
Then, the psychologists say, the
experimenter hmself can take over.
