How ever since many companies are giving their employees at least two days off for Christmas and some three, the over all total for the holiday season is expected to be considerably? higher. "'Our estimate is based on past experience of motorist coupled with current driving patterns," pointed out Thomas B. Watkins, president of the mo tor Club and the National AUto. Assoc. "The number of fatalities during the holiday season will be reduced to the extent that motorists observe die basic safe driving rules.'

Peace Corps Gxamsjan. 11 The next Peace Corps Place ment Test is scheduled to be given nation-wide on Saturday.

"Take rural electrification," said Powell, "North Carolina's rural electric cooperatives managed to keep their inde pendence through the 1963 le gislature between rural aridur ban interests. Another Issue, he said, Is that of the county's rural school system. "For years, people In the cities have been com plaining about their share of state tax money that goes to support rural schools If they're allowed to control the legisla ture, they could very easily get a law passed which would force the rural counties to support their own school systems, to a far greater extent than they do today. A third issue is roads. "Half of the 70.000 miles of roads in North Carolina areunpaved," said Powell. ' 'Nearly all of this unpaved mileage is in rural tress, we must nave ?. iwi one house in the legislature that is favorable to rural areas, if we expect to get the roads I of Duplin County paved in good time." A fourth issue is taxes. Pow ell noted that many attempts I have been made already in the I legislature to levy heavier taxes on the rural people, "unfair taxes, compared to those paid I by people in the cities." I "As more people get out of f* *? m<n? mH (t raUf?<: more IB1 lllUlg Uil? mm money to stay in farming, ru ral people will have to fight harder each legislative session to keep their taxes fair,' said Powell. "A legislature domina ted by urban people is not like ly to sympathetic to the tax problems of rural people." Powell urged the people of Duplin County to vote January 14 for the constitutional amend ment for fair representation of all the people of North Carolina. "This will be the last chance rural people will have to in sure that they are fairly repre sented in the State Legis lature," he said. Modern Farming ; I Short Course 1 Mr. Philip Kretsch.

Veteran I Dividend Jan. 2 Trial 6* Error The following story was re ceived on a Christmas Card by one of our employees. She wishes to share It with you. THE LEGEND OF THE CHRISTMAS ROSE When Jesus was born in the little town of Bethlehem, there came wise Men trom ine tin bearing gifts of gold, frankin cense, and myrrh. A little shepherdness, watch ing from afar, wept because she had no gift to offer the Christ Child. As her tears fell to the ground flowers sprang up, which the child gathered ana hastened to bring to the Infant. In adoration, she knelt so Jesus could see the flowers, and when His blessed little hands touched the petals, a de licate pink appeared. And so a flower that never bloomed be fore came into existence-the Christmas Rose. To this day , the Christmas Rose blooms more abundantly at Christmas Time than at any other season.
