ell, Christmas is over and a
w year is Just around the corner
Last Thursday night a Christmas
i rogram representing Christ and a
way of Peace was given Jay the
musical students of Chinquapin
High school which brings out the
desire of Peace in all of us. We
need more of such programs. Heres
hoping everyone a happy New
Year: We -may doubt others, tout
let's not doulbt ourseCves in doing
our best another year, for all. the
brains are not all in one head.
Let's forget to worry, for the sole
mourner of troubles is too often the
unlucky recipient. V s
The WMU hed it's last meeting
Of the year Cast Wednesday night
where the joy of exposing the
names of each other's Pollyannas,
were revealed with much joy. and
surprises. The attendance was al
most 100 per cent. Vote for Polly
anna another year were unanl -nious.
Mrs. Albert Lanier led a
fine' program. Refreshments were
served at the tllose of the meeting.
The- little children of parents were
entertained Iby Mrs. Piner and they
had a major role in completing
the ' evening's entertainment with
the Sunbeam class activities.
The Christmas Spirit were sad
dened here last week with the
"sudden death of Mr. Joda Bostit,
who died of a heart attack. A Com
forting thought for the berieved
family is the thought that all the
famly except one grand-daughter
spent the day the Sunday before
with him
(Mrs. . Raymond Batchelor is at
home again from the hospital at
Camp Lejeune wifh her young son,
Raymond, Jr. The grandparents, Mr
and Mrs. Rollen Norris is doing
' fine at home with the youngster,
i Quite a scare was witnessed here
; last with the sudden disappear -ance
of little Miss Thomisine San
derson, 4 year old daughter of Mr.
: and Mrs. , T. F. Sanderson who
seems quite capable of taking care
: of herself It seems she went visit
ing a few doors from home where
" she had not been supject of going,
' and no amount of Looking could
trace her. Cars, trucks, motorcycles
: and feet were used in finding her
' after a few hours. A 'ipop-paddle
has been . reported used in con -Vlncing
the little tot that her place
is at home from now on not
visiting un-announced or off sche
dule. It's not so bad to be ignorant,
but its a shame not to be willing
to learn. After all, there IS some
thing to study except taxes. Or is
there?
Would that we all had the cour
age of young Mrs. Jean Garrett,
26-yearg-old of Los Angeles Cal.,
who has an incurable disease with
six months to live and is now last
week happily helping her husband
and three children decorate an
Xmas tree.
; - A worthy comment by a weM -;
known radio commentator from
Washington, N. C. urging people of
all walks of life to go to church,
surely will bear fruit another year.
'The death of Dorothy Dix last
week, advisor to lovelorn, leaves
' a lomesome place in her daily pa
pers for many people, especially
those confused and perplexed in
, their love troubles who had come
to depend on her sound advice.

Han and dog made a good team
even in earliest times. Then man
had to hunt for Ms food, and learned
to rely on the dog to track down his
quarry. Later, as man began to ac
quire property, - the dog became
guardian of his home and of his
.flocks and herds. And as civilization
progressed, the relationship grew to
become one ot mutual affection. -
:Dog and man still. bunt together,
more often for sport than neces
sity, ot course. And the dog is still
guardian of the home. But the most
important gift a dog gives his mas
ter is unquestioning loyalty which
too many masters are apt to take
for granted. , '-; ' i
The dog knows nothing of , the
morals,' conventions and ethics ot
human society, and if he did, he
couldn't care less about them, be
cause he is equally faithful whether
