Editorial and Opinion Christmas Seal Sale Underway . ’ . "• >..i The tuberculosis association has mailed out the Christmas Seals in the 46th annual Christmas Seal Sale. The receipt of one or two dollars worth of seals has come to be expected and welcomed at this timev.of year. The objective is fairly well understcxxi by most people, to provide funds for con tinued warfare against this great scourge_tuberculosis. The work of the national, state and local prganizations has been and is now one of the outstanding examples of,the fact that men and women, by working together, can attain great ends. What are we buying when we buy Christmas Seals? That is a legitimate question and each of us has a right to know the answer. Most of us know that, in purchasing Christmas Seals, we are not just buying pretty decorations for our holiday cards and packages. We know that we are contributing to the support of a community organization which is dedicated . to fighting a communicable disease, tuberculosis. But do we know exactly how our Christmas Seal money is working ■ for us? Christmas Seal money is working for us through education,* is making it possible to reach individuals, groups, and the gefteral public with facts about tuberculosis which will help protect the individual from the disease and prevent its spread in the community. Christmas Seal money is used in the search for unknown tuberculosis, in the conduct of X-ray programs among apparently healthy people to find tuberculosis in its early, symptomless stage when it is easiest to cure. It is used to promote rehabilitation services for patients- Christmas Seal money works for us, too, through medical research on tuberculosis, studies which will enable us to gain a better understanding of the nature of this disease and, consequently, how to conquer it completely. Briefly, Christmas Seals are an investment in health in surance. They are helping us protect ourselves against a disease which causes more deaths than all other infectious diseases combined. They are helping a community organiza tion make our county a healthier place in which to live. Our tuberculosis association, is conducting a program of which we can all be proud. Christmas presents us with an opportunity to show our appreciation of the work it has done, of the work it will continue to do so long as we stand back of it. Every person in the community should be glad to contrib ute his couple of dollars to the association. Chairman G. Paul 1 Carr in Hillsboro and Mrs. S. E. Leavitt in Chapel Hill are anxious that the campaign be quickly successful. All who are helping are giving their time and effort without cost, so certainly the rest of us can well afford to return our little con tributions promptly and save them time and money_and allow them to begin planning for the coming year’s work with a knowledge that the funds are available to carry out these plans. 50 Flying Years! Next December 17th the world will enter its fiftieth year *»f pq- er flight, for it w^s on that day in 1903, on the dunes of, Kitty-Hawk, N. C., that Orville'and Wilbur Wrightf found out for sure that their modified box-kite powered with a motor cycle engine could be flown! Their brief demonstration that flying was no longer just for the birds, gave wings not only to man, but to all human progress. Within this fifty year span, the great globe of the earth has shrunk, relatively, from the size of a basket ball to that of a pea. Those so-called “natural boundaries”', mountains, seas, rivers and deserts, that from time immemorial had divided races and nations-and-fenced in ideas, were surface barriers that have ceased to exist in the air age. Today no spot on the earth is remote, not even the North Pole. (As this is written, a com mercial air line plane has just flown 22 passengers in ease and comfort over a portion of the polar ice-cap.) "Vr^ In the week of arduous travel that President-elect Washing ton required to get from Mount Vernon to New York for his inaugural, President-elect Eisenhower could make his trip to Korea, spend several days in conference with the UN comman ders, and be back in any American city he might designate. Forty-one years before the Kitty Hawk flight, the famous Pony Express was still carrying mail; and 15 years afterward, it was travelling by air. Today, aircraft manufacturing has become one of America’s vital industries and air power is our first line of defense, and air supremacy is the brightest hope of peace. Essential to defense, aviation today is big business. Air Mail, air express, air freight are commonplace. Air travel is the accepted transportation of millions ... and operation of the skyways provides the support of thousands of families. These have been 50 years that changed the world. To have been a part of those years, and to have felt the impact of avia tion on our daily lives, gives all of us a place in the Fiftieth Anniversary qelebration that starts next month. The privilege of doing honor to the pioneers of flight who struck from man kind the shackles of Time and Distance belongs to every one of us. w THE NEWS of Orange County Published Every Thursday By THE NEWS, INCORPORATED Hillsboro and Chapel Hill, N.

N. C. / Bible Comment GOD'S PURPOSE: LOVE AND REDEMPTION > To know God means a great deal more than’just believing in his existence. The God that" Jesus re vealed is a God ot love who so lov ed the woijd that He gave His only begotten son to be its Savior. His love is more powerful than all the hate man sees thrust upon Him. In this world of bitter com petition in which we find our selves, it is often more diffcult to realize that God’s love is there in sipite of all other things that seem to defy it. -' From time to time we find men questioning God’s purpose. They do not seem to understand that In His purpose is a richer reward than all .the material wealth of their material world. To. know God is to realize and share in God’s purpose as far as the human race is concerned. ' And that purpose is one of ab solute love and redemption. This fact is constantly reaffirmed in the Bible. It is also the tlieme otf John the Baptist. Lastly, it is the essence of Christ’s 'gospel and is revealed in all that He saill or did. Paul became the great exponent of this philosophy after his con version. It dominated him so completely he was certain no pow er or experience would ever be strong or bitter enough to separate him from it. Paul lists the suffering and hard ships he endured and tells us none shall ever be able to separate us from Christ’s dove. This is pro found faith not easily obtained. Because it is easy to believe in God ■when all goes well, only when trouble and sorrow cloud our lives do we doubt. But Paul’s re presented the strongest of Chris tains whose niames are unknown have suffered bitter trails and per secutions. They have found that Christ is uearer and richer when they have suffered the loss of everything. , Thus we can see how unfailing is the love of God. It is as Paul said: “I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me.” Clare Leighton’s Wedgwood Exhibit In Library Lobby Chapel Hill—A collection of 12 Wedgwood plates bearing N«w England industry designs by Miss -Clare Leighton, one of America’s best known graphic artists, is on exhibit in the main lobby of the University Library. Miss Leighton, a native English woman and former Chapel Hill resident, sketched the designs 4t the request of the English firm of Josiah Wedgwood. The designs, done in black and white, represent the basic indus tries of New England—portraying the harvest wrung by the early settlers from both earth and water. Each plate shows a picturesque, authentic phase of early New Eng_ land life. Industries depicted are sugaring, shipbuilding, grist mill ing, whaling, farming, cranberry ing, ice cutting, logging, tobacco growing, codfishing, lobstering and marble quarrying. At the base of each design the artist sketched the pre-machine age implements with which the work was done-. - The winner of a number of prizes Miss Leighton’s work has been displayed at museums ini New York, Baltimore, Washing ton, the British Museum, the Vic toria and Albert Museums in Lon don and in the National Gallery of Canada. Recognition of her talent came early when an English artist, Eric Gill, bought one of her engravings when she was still in art school. Miss Leighton has been ia, the United States since before World War If. She now lives in Wood bury, Conn. Miss Leighton is also an author and illustrator. Her books include, “Tempestuous Petticoat—Art" InJ vincible Edwardian,” “Four Hedg es,” “Country Mattery,” “ThO Farmer’s Year,” “Sometime-Nev er,’ “And Give Us This Day, ” In addition,- she has illustrated such ' books as “Wuthering Heights,” “Return of the Native,” “Under the Greenwood Tree,” “Bridge of San Luis Rey,” and “Time and the Man.” ^ The artist will talk about her designs and engravings at a tea in the Assembly-Exhibition room in the Library Thursday after noon, November 20, at 3:45 o’clock Et will be. sponsored by the Bull’s Head Bookshop. The exhibit will continue until December 6. i.’.'. ~ ■".*_iSi'A&i*. 1. \ ;SLJ Man at Work! Many of out deciduous shrubs anid plants may be easily propa gated by means of hardwood cut tings. .Examples are spirea, crape myrtle^ "forsythia, jasmine, figs, bunch grapes, privet, gooseberries, currants, and many'others. This is a good time of the year to make deciduous cuttings. Good, strohg wood of last summer’s growth is best for this purpose. The cuttings may be made in lengths of eight to ten inches and tied in bundles of 25 to 50 cut tings may be stored in boxes of moistened peat or sand. Other wise, they may be buried in a mounSl of sand or sandy soil out of-doors where they can be shield ed from the sun’s rays. Before growth starts in spring the cut tings must be taken up and plant ed in rows or beds for rooting. About two-thirds of the base or bottom end of the cutting should be inserted below the surface of the soil and one-third above the surface. It is necessary that at least one good bud is above the .surface of the soil. Instead of storing the cuttings over winter in bundles they may be planted out in coldframes or even direct ly in nursery or garden rows as soon as they are . cut from the plant. Usually, however, the for mer method gives a higher per; centage of rooting. Although bunch grapes are’ easily propagated by means pf hardwood cuttings, this is not true of most varieties of muscadines. The scuppernong is especially dif ficult to root in this manner. For these it is better to layer the vines —that is, to covey a young vine with a shovelfull of earth while it is attached to the parent plant. In one growing season roots will usually form and the new plant may be detached from the parent and moved to the desired location. Dipping the basal end of the cut ing in rootone powder just before planting out in the nursery row or "coldframe will often cause quicker rooting and a better set of roots. Rootone may be obtain ed at any large seed store. -o .. Film, Stage Stars Coning To UNC In ‘John Brown’s Body’ Chapel Hill—Three outstanding stars of stage and screen—Tyrone Power, Raymond Massey and Ju dith Anderson—will make their only appearance in North Carolina in “John Brown’s Body” at the University January MO. The first large scale translation to the medium of the stage of Stephen Vincent Benet’s epic poem of America, the production also includes the world famous Walter Sehufnann Choral Group of 20 and •is under the direction of Charles Laughton. Coming here under the sponsor ship of the Carolina Playmakers, “John Brown’s Body” will be pre sented on both nights in Memorial Hall. Tickets are now on sale at the Playmakers’ business office in Swain Hall. The production was worked out by .Paul Gregory, whose smash hit last year was Bernard Shaw’s “Don Juan in Hell,” which was also brought to the University campus by the Playmakers. “John Brown’s Body,” now on tour, has just completed a limited, engagement in San Francisco where both the audiences and crit ics hailed the production with such phrases as “smashing victory” and “ranging eloquence and me morable dramatic impact.” This unusual entertainment fea ture will play, two of its approxi mately 70 engamements in Chapel Hill. No other performances will be given south of North Carolina. COUNT THE ADVANTAGES S OF SAVING HERE! We offer to everyone — insured safety for your savings, as well as a good return.
