It seems that Mor ris t? who lived in Hevolutionary days-?lost his left leg at the age of 28 while trying to control a pair of wild horses in a carriage, being thrown out and catching his leg in a wheel. Others believe, however, that Morris who was quite a lady's man. lost the limb escap ing from a jealous husband.

I How did you choose the toys for your youngsters this Christmas? A New York toy manufacturer declares that only a few parents will select the proper playthings for their children each Christmas. Most, he said, buy toys that please themselves, rather than the children. The man. who owns a company that makes creative playthings, warns that "gadgetv" toys may be | harmful and frustrating. And, he' adds, children quickly tire of them. "The best toy a parent can buy," he said, "is a set of plain un paired. wooden unit blocks. Chil dren will use and enjoy them from age 18 months to nine years." He said that girls between age 3 and 7 should have a "doll corn er". He said the corner should be supplied first with a large wooden stove, bed and cupboard. "The doll corner will become the most treasured play place in the little girl's life." he said. He Contends boss from ages 2 to 7 mostly enjoy "transportation" plav?trucks, cars and boats. There was no statement about what parents should choose at Christmas for the young teen-age boy or girl in the 13-16 year-old erouD, whose interests alreadv are deeolv trained in social activities, and who prefer parties and dances to olav-at-home activities. Perhaps by next year, this manu ? r ? facturer, or some child psychologist will have solved this problem. May this greeting serve to carry to y all our frjends our wish that their Christmas may be a merry one and the New Year hold a lull measure of happiness r#"* ?% HAYWOOD PRINT SHOP EVERETT CAMP Dfpot Strwt ??? i ? ? i'i ? i i it The First Christmas c (Luke 2:1-16) i And it came to i>ass in those days that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be ^ taxed. And this taxing was first made when < vrenius was Governor wf Syria. And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. ( And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city ! of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is call- i ed Bethlehem (because he was of the house and lineage of J David). ; To be taxed with Mary, his es|>oused wife, being great | with ch\Jd. 11 And so it was, that while they were there, the days were 1 accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn. . And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flocks 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 of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the'city of David, a saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying: Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. And it came to pass, as the angels were going away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. The Younger Set ( *' I By PEGGY REEVES And SUZANNE CURRY Hi gang! Is everyone having a good time? I ll bet you are, but it looks like this big snow put one of our younger set in the hospital. Edward Leatherwood, who lives at the lake, was operated on for appendicitis over the weekend. While you're out Christmas shop ping or just riding around, run up and see Edward for a few minutes. (EDITOR'S NOTE: Please wait until visiting hours.) I'm sure he would be glad to; have some company and, Edward, i we hope you get better real quick | before Santa Claus comes. Merry j Christmas! Last Thursday night the Music Department gave its annual Christ mas concert. There were several solos. The soloists were Bobby Hill. Sheila English, and Faye Sease. Something different this year j was a boys' choir composed of junior high boys and James Park er sang a solo, which was very i pretty. As an echo to one of the songs, a quartet was picked out of the concert band. The band played its annual song, "Sleigh Ride,": which, of co6rse, is our favorite. This same concert was presented Friday morning in senior high ; chapel. Our Mountaineers beat the Sylva Hurricanes last Friday night by a big margin. This was the first time we have played Sylva in about four or five years and we had a good time out of the younger set in there Friday night helping the cheerleaders out. This was the last of our pre-Christmas basketball games. The next game will be with dars Hill at home on January 4 Well, folks, the Younger Set is iorta short this time, but with Christmas shopping and such here's not much time to have an.s Parties.
