Seventeen Children Now Know The Spirit of Christmas Last Saturday morning seven teen youngsters from tne War saw-Kenans ville-Magnoila area were treated to a real Christ mas by supervisor and staff of National Spinning Company. Reluctant to reveal the de tails, Mr. Francis Oakley, Per sonnel Director, said "You can't Imagine how happy the children were, but It gave us much more satisfaction than It did them." Believing that It Is more blessed to give than to recleve, Mr. Oakley and his co-workers decided some time ago to lode around and see If they could lo cate children who might not be visited by Santa. They asked their own children in school to< help them find the needy, per sons. They found a family with five children in the Kenansvllle area, three children from Mag nolia, three from the town of Warsaw and six children In the rural area between Warsaw and Kenansvllle. Supervisor or staff mem bers f rom the plant picked up the children and assembled them at the plant where each ohlld was assigned to a supervisor. Feeling much like "Queen (or King) For a Day" the child was then taken to Wars aw where he was allowed to select Items that he or she would like to have. They were not directed to buy clothing, but given a free choice to fun ill their hearts desire with a limit of about Continued to Pace t BRIEFS I Christmas Decoration Judging judging of Warsaw Christ mas Decorations, sponsored by the Warsaw Garden Clubs wffl be held, Thursday night after 5 p.m. Everyone Is asked to have their lights on by 5. judges will be from out-of-town.

It was spring, Christmas had passed, but the hospitality afforded us was like that at Christmas time. Therefore we call this a story appropriate for the Christmas season. We had spent the winter in Biloxl, Mississippi and would take a round-a-bout way home. We would drive east and follow along the Atlantic Coast. We left Biloxl on April 2, 1957 and stopped over at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina until April 8. We were waiting for fair weather to take the ferry to the Outer Banks Highway to visit the Cape Hatteras Country - Including the site of the first settlement in America on Roanoke Island - then on to Nags Head and KittY Hawk. Our guide book had warned: "The Beach Trail, generally passable in good weather and at low tide, should be carefully considered by the lnexpe lenced." Although we had previously visited Washington, D. C. we would now take the inland route and visit that city again, and leave the Outer Banks Trail and the Atlantic Coast tor summer time driving. But we didn't get to Washington either. Enroute from Wilmington, North Carolina to Warsaw, North Carolina we had our mishap. In attempting to pass a truck heavily loaded with farm fertilizer - it happened. The truck made a left turn, not at a cross road - but Into a narrow farm lane to make a delivery. With perfect timing we rammed the truck. This has been our only automobile accident in more than 50 years of driving. It happened late in the forenoon, a mile away from Warsaw. The colored man, driving the truck for t distributing firm In Warsaw, called his boss - who came to the ^Scaoe immediately , bringing a doctor, an ambulance and a tow truck. We stopped for a moment in Warsaw at the doctor's office - then drove 8 more miles along a farm road to Duplin County General Hospital in Kenansville. Here is where our Hospitality Story begins. Nofth Carolina is still one of the distinctively rural states. It has 288500 farms-the average farm having 65 acres. The firming acres lie mostly along the Atlantic in a broad expanse of rather level coastal plain. Kenans ville, the county-seat of Duplin County, lies' In the very b;tr this rich farming land. Two-thirds of the stats' is covered wi. Vftviscv, lvtng mostly in the mountainous area to the *e3t of ln??'coaftar plain in what has become world-famed resort country. The state is dotted with small towns. Only one city in the state has a population of over 100000. It was one of the earliest states to start settlements in the newly discovered America. The English came first and the population, of today stems mostly from those early settlers. The state has one of the lowest ratios of foreign horn, other than English, in the whole USA. The colored population accounts for about one-fourth of the state's population. On arriving at the hospital, Olga was taken to the Emeigency room, where the hospital doctor, Dr. Harris, and his staff took over. They gave their first attention to stopping perfuse bleeding from an ugly gash on her forehead. Dr. Harris was a native of this country and noting a rather depressed con dition of his new patient, tried out several angles of con versation to alert her. Our registration card on entering the hospital exposed our Northern address. I was near enough so [ could hear their conversation. Finally, the doctor inquired of his new patient: "What are you Yankees doing in my South?" That did it. They fought the War of the States all over again from beginning to end. The surgery room aids, not long out of high school and known as the 3 Green Hornets and the rest of us, received some interpretations about this was we had not heard in any school room. But the doctor didn't seem to miss any stitches. Besides the cut on the forehead, the X-rays showed fractures, below the knee and at the wrist. Casts were applied, the one on the leg extending from the hip to the ankle. That indicated a hospital stay of some 6 weeks. Olga was assigned a room. Centlmed to page 8 ?'* .-r-f'-V ? , ?

Johnson and his assistant Mr. Byron Teachey and Prin cipal J. P. Harmon. Mr. Newklrk expressed the opinion that as the quality of a building depends upon the standards set by the construc tion supervisor, the quality of education upheld by the super vision of the school. "It Is for this reason," said Mr. Newklrk, "that we believe this gymnasium should be given a name. A name in honor of one who has been a guiding light In turning a dream, of only ten years ago. Into a school of which we are very proud today. A school that re flects the high standards set forth by Its supervision.
