HUM VABMflLL* N. C O. ihx Bn : Mvr Friar Harris, 4-1 «i Wad. ttl-1 Mi PubUahad by THE ROUS! PBINTKRT Ifarmville, H. C. ' ouoscnpuon rncvi ir *1J0—• Moa. #1—4 Moa.S0c AU Legal Adr. 6c a Una per week. Published weakly and Second Class Mall Matter at Che Poet Office at Farmrille, N. C., Act at March tod. 1878. 1945 LOOMS—. This month, in which we see the re-inauguration of our -President for a fourth term and the inauguration of a new year, shall be aa a beacon shining through pages of American history and the histories of other na tions of the world; because it shall also inaugurate a new epoch in the progress of mankind. Though we hear of strife in setting up the policies «l piTO— «UU WVwccii wikiuu and labor, employment and produc tion are being stepped-up, and a more intelligent cooperation exists in every branch of endeavor today. Out of the darkness of sacrifice and sorrow, the blessed hope of Peace in 1945 gleams, and out of the storm of war, the promise comes of ultimate victory from our leaders. This year, of all years within living memory, the real spirit of Faith and Hope is working in. the hearts of men and we are assured of the Triumph of Good over Evil. Throughout our land more millions are employed than have been in its history, and all those millions share actual benefits, most of wjiich were merely aspirations in the minds of a few striving benefactors a generation ago! America is definitely going forward, and the sum total of that progress shall be seen in the better way of life the greater number of its people shall enjoy after the war, through their higher standard of liv ing. Rural electrification, has brought light and freedom from the most ar duous toil to the hundreds of thous ands who work the farms which give sustenance to this and sister nations. More far reaching free schools, libra ries and museums give our people a well balanced life, making them a thinking people, virtually concerned with every measure taken by our government and industry. Such a people whose interests are not only for themselves, but for the world as a whole, are contributing-to a unity which Shall be the most pow erful factor in the inauguration of 1945 as the start of a new era in the progress mt mankind. EDITION WINS PRAISE FROM TEXAS FRIEND Compensating in large measure for the feeling that some of our readers scan our sheet for errors only, and for the thorns that we encounter in this business of newspapering, are the rosea, which we sometimes find on 'MX ink-stained desks, left by friends, who take the time to tell us that our efforts are not in vain. Even getting to bed at 4:30 A. M., the morning we pot our Christmas Edition in the post Office seems less like a bad dream to us since^ receiving the following note of appreciation from a friend in Texas; "Fort Worth Texas, oenunary nui station, My dear Mr. Rouse:—The Christ mas Issue of the Farmville Enter prise has impressed me so deeply with its excellence that I am writing to express my personal appreciation for your splendid work. I do feel in deed that this issue surpassed any publication of its kind that has pass ed my way. You will grant me this opportunity at expressing my sin cere congratulations to you and your staff. . Yours in appreciation, Daisy Holmes Rogers." A beautiful rose like this puts new color into our checks, a tilt to our chins, a sparkle in our eyes and w« brace up, and take fresh courage as wa prepare to "sweat and swear" and carry on in 1945.—Associate Ed. PANTRY SHOWER The Woman's Auxiliary of the Presbyterian Church entertained at s surprise party and pantry shower in compliment to Mrs. Edwin S. Coatee, Wednesday evening. Mrs. Coatee, in turn, surprised her guests by serving them delicious refreshments, consist ing at fruit cake and coffee. AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH I I > . Tha Lard's Supper will be ub—nr<d Sunday A. M., at tha 11:00 o'clock hour. Every member <*f the church is urged to make special effort tar be iq this service. Open Forum. The first ia a series of "Open Forums" will be held Sunday evening in the Church auditorium at 6:80. This is preliminary to the evening worship service which is held from 7:16-8.-00. This is a new type ser vice and is meant to provide fellow ship and discussion on.Bible qhes tiona, as well as, current problems. No person who desires to attend will be excluded. It is expected, however, that all members of the B. T. U., will be in their regular places at the usual time. This will be the organisation meet ing in which officers will be elected /or the year. All who are present at this initial meeting will become char ter members. The pastor has felt for sometime the need for such a meeting as this in Fsrmville in which young people, both single and married, as well ss adults may have the opportunity to disc usb in open forum the problems of life as they relata to Christian Experience. At all times, with all problems, the Christian emphssisis will prevail. Each person present will have the chance to list the different topics and problems that he would like dis cussed and from this list a program committee will arrange a schedule and topics will be made public in advance. While the pastor will guide this Forum for the time being, he will not lead the discussion each time. There will be qualified leaders called in either from Farmville or nearby towns. Miss Pearl Eichelberger, local Bible teacher, will lead Sunday eve ning. The topic will be announced Sunday in the Church bulletin. Special Prayers. Through 1945, and as long as the war lasts, the young men whose names are_ on the Church Roll of Honor will be remembered in a spe cial way at the Mid-week Prayer Ser vice on Wednesdays at 7:30 p. m. The plan is to have members of these boys' families present to repre sent them in this prayer hour, and if, some member cannot be present due to circumstances over which they have no control, then that family will ask someone to go and represent their son, brother, husband, cousin or fa ther, whichever the person may be. While these boys are out there on the battle fronts fighting to save our homes and this land of free America and to make the world decent to live in, we certainly ought to think enough of them to meet once each week to pray for God's blessings upon them. How about it relatives and friends! Will you do this for them? Remem ber the time and hour. Should there be others not includ ed in this Roll of Honor who desire to join us in tbis service, by all means feel free to come aside with us. Rev. E. C. Chamblee, Pastor.

BIRD NOTES The Farmville Garden Club enter tained tJie members of the Bird Club .Li. /-»i December 23, planned and conducted By Mrs. R. W. Rader and Mrs. B. S. Sheppard. A Santa Claus scene added to the Christmas spirit. Cookies, tangerines, gTapes, candy and apples were served from the table, which bore also colored mats and a bowl of holly. Howard Murphney read an article from The Enterprise, "Posed For The Christmas Picture," which pointed to the many instances in which animals have been linked with the sacred set ting of that memorable Christmas Eve centuries ago when the Holy Child was born; the donkey carried the mother to Bethlehem, the cow gave up its hay for a pillow, the sheep supplied the wool for a blanket, while the camels carried the star-led wise men to the .manger. We are asked as we always celebrate the Birthday of Christ to be generous in otir human contribution of kindness to the dumb animal friends. Protect wildlife as a forest asset.
