in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise
men from the east of Jerusalem,
Saying, Whre is he that is born King of the Jews?
for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to
worship him.
When Herod the king had heard these things, he
was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
And when he had gathered all the chief priests and
scribes of the people together, he demanded of them
where Christ should be born.
'
And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judea:
for thus it is written by the prophet,
'
And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, are not
the least among the princess of Jada: for out of thee
shall come a Governer, that shall rule my people Israel.
Ihen Herod, when he had privily called the wise
ttifen, inquired of them diligently what time the star

Don't Take Tiie "Merry" Out Christmas
Don't take the "Merry" out of
your Christmas by becomini one of
the 29 persons the N. C. State Mo
tor Club predicts will be killed on
North Carolina's streets and higb
ways during the long Yule holiday
The official fatality count will
begin at 6 p. m. Friday, Dec. 21,
and extend through Tuesday mid
night, Dec. 25, a period of 102 hours.
During the 19C1 Christmas holi
day, which Covered a 78-hour per
iod, North Carolina recorded 22
highway deaths in 20 fatal accidents
and 730 injured in a total of 1,065
accidents. The largest number of
deaths - - 10 - - occurred on* Satur
day, with 7 more on Christmas Eve,
usually one of the most deadly days
of the year because of traditional
festivities and heavy travel to
family gatherings.
Speeding with no regard (at road,
weather and traffic conditions was
the most frequent driver violation
contributing to holiday accidents
last Christmas, figuring in 17 of
the 22 fatalities.
"For many years," cautioned
Thomas B; Watkins, president of
the N. C. State Motor Club ai)d the
National Automobile Association,
'December has been the peak pronth
for motor vehicle accidents in Nor
th Carolina. In December 1961,
there were 773 more accidents than
m the month with the next highest
total during the year. With three
weeks and two holidays still to go.
the state had already suffered 1,223
traffic deaths and appeared well
on the way to breaking the record
of 1,289 established in 1941.
"So.drive with extra care and
make it a truly Merry Christmas
for you and yours."

Delmar Houston Injured In Wreck
Bad weather was ft factor in a
collision involving two dump trucks
and a car on Highway 17 south Fri
day morning which seriously injur
ed Delmar Houston, manager of the
Houston Building Company, Inc. ot
Jacksonville.
State Trooper George Oakley
said Houston had stopped his car
on the highway near the Pumpkin
Center Itoad, apparently preparing
to make a turn.
An empty dump truck owned by
the George A. Yancey Truck Co.,
of Maysville and driven by Otis
Carlton Haskins, 19, of Maysville,
ran into the rear of Houston's car
and knocked it directly into the
path of another of the Yancey
firm's dump trucks, approaching
from the opposite direction.
Houston's car was totally demoli
shed in the collision with the second
truck, which was loaded. It was
driven by Elwood Lee, 24 of New
Bern.
Haskins, the driver of the first
truck, told the officer he didn't see
Houston's car until too late to avoid
hitting -it, even though he swerved
at the last moment. The weather
was dismal and rainy and tht mfl
was slick. Lee. the driver of Hum
loaded truck, said he couldn't dtffl
anything, as the car was knockafl
directly into his path.
Houston, listed in critical condfl
tion on admission to Onslow MqlH
orial, later was reported improvj^H
Both trucks were damaged in tfl
accident and had to be towed MgH
Trooper Oakley said no chaqjH
had been preferred but inveitqH
