"Candles for Christmas 1978" is a project to encourage residents in the community to i>uy and use the single white slectrified candles in their homes. The single candle in :ach window represents a spirit >f unity which the Chamber also hopes to see spread throughout :he community. Thursday. November 30, has been desig nated "Candle Day." Area organizations will aid the Chamber by selling the candles door-to-door in the community from 4-6 p.m. The candles are being sold at cost, which is only seventy-five cents each. This also includes the whiter bulb. Candles can also be purchased at Quinn's Variety Store, Kenansville Drug Store, Western Auto, The Attic Shop, Farm Bureau, Waccamaw Bank, B&K Grill, and Bank of North Carolina. These businesses and merchants are assisting the Chamber with promotion by making the candles available. The idea of placing white candles in windows is borrowed from other historic towns in America. Williamsburg has long practiced this unique custom. The Xenansville Beautification Committee has been promoting this project for several years. The electrified candles blink on at dusk each evening, present ing a unified decorative appearance of simplicity. ????? "?( 4 (?., '*; .fi^ v *w^ i 91. ?
