' , NATIONAL' EDITORIAL ' Monday Afternoon, December 24. 1951 The Heart At Christmas : Why is it all right to feel a flush of pleas ure upon being remembered with a lovely card from a friend at Christmas time, and yti wrong to feel the same emotion if the expression of your friends regard takes the form of an expensive gift? There are those who maintain that with the entrance' of , money into giving comes auto-. T?jk"A:s.lly & hoist', of wrong ideas. Some argue ihit a firi : 'containing friendly sentiments tviisr.? r.-ly the same emotions within the ' Tcipje2t,..''whik an expensive gift from the iar-je.'wrsoTi --stir's one-to. en to greed, to ' : aesjiair. or -some o .Christmas-' is ; a '-gsve. his h: fv-r - r.-an. - .He gave;- man re-- wived. .

No one will dispute that, but neither should it be only a matter of giving. If man is too w eak to share, then he lacks the understanding of brotherhood, the knowledge of ''oneness'' that makes Christmas the one day a majority of people can actually feel igood will toward man." city. The clerks know him and out of the corner of their eye they watch for this nfan's signal to give a gazing youngster the toy of his choice. There are other stories; all of them equally simple. The Bible story of Christmas is a magnificent relation of greatness in humble surrounding; or fiction stories of less magni tude and inspiration like the Dicken's Christ mrs Carol. Right here in Morjanton there's another version of the same type of simplicity. in Burke, as in any other county, town or State, there are those who regard Christ mas with dread, not becausethey harbor any ill-will toward the season, but because their economy will not allow for giving presents, a ritual that has come to represent Christmas expression of Esteem throughout the land. There are others in Burke who will have more than ample Christmas this year for the reverse of the economic story. There is no duty involved. The haves are under jio obligation to share with the have- nots. ' All that can be said is: Try it. Ifr you've never given freely for unselfish reas ons, you'll be amazed at the results.; It is not possible to elaborate on all the needy in the County. But the contributor may be assured, regardless of the size of his donation, that it vill "gcJ to a worthy rca'use in Burke.

The paper goes on to re mmd us: Almost without our knowledge and almost against our wishes, the business of Christ mas has. grown ever more complex, extend indienacles into our time, efforts and pocket books. Many a mother and father, straining their circumstances' to satisfy the wishes of their youngsters, their respective families an&'their' friends, breathe a sigh of relief when December 25 passes without injured emotions. $ome. find unique ways to travel backward intd the spirit that' Christmas is alleged to harve" inspired many years ago. There's the story of the man of means who,",each Christ mas, travels the toy counters of his native Christmas Is What We Make It At this season of the year, one often hears the remark: "I'm, sure glad Christmas does not come but once a year." ' Many times this season, as well as in the past, this statement has been heard time and time again. -s--; .:-"'.-, ' :.-' -.- We honestly believe that the temporary tired feeling causes this, and that deep down in their hearts, we would not miss this one time of year for anything. : Christmas is the time we think, to really take stock- of our blessings. And we know of no one who can say with truth that they have absolutely nothing to be thankful about. For at this, the best season of the year, there is a lifting of the spirit, a feeling of good will, that is contagious, and should make us all thankful for our blessings and concerned about the welfare of others. Already this Christmas spirit is at hand, although Christmas Day will not be here until Tuesday. Even in the face of the most critical crisis our nation has ever faced, it is apparent. And it is good that hearts cati be lifted up, for there is much these days to depress and worry. At all ChriStmases too many of us tend to forget the real meaning of the holiday. We forget that Christmas is in reality a Church holiday; that it is the day" when we should observe the birth of Christ. But as mart has a way of doing, the true meaning of the oc casion is ofttimes dimmed by the more world ly glitter of tinsels and shiny lights. And while we wouldn't think of doing away with the pretty things that make Christmas the grand time it is, we thing that all of us and especially in days like these should remem ber that Christmas is in reality Christ's birth day. And in our merriment and happiness we shouldn't forget that there should be rev erence, too. ' , To really get the most out of Christmas it is necessary that selfishness be put aside and concern for the welfare of others "translated . into action.

' At least one manager of an auto mobile club handling the sale of licenses is suggesting that :- the plates be sold throughout the year For instance, if you bought yours in March of this year they would carry you until March of next. This he says, would avoid thp 60-dav rush , during the holiday season. The practice is being followed suc cessfully in Maryland. A similar move In North Carolina would no doubt prove confusing the first year In operation. The plan would at least provide more, wirisimas money. Ar tome marriage advica books misleading?
