Christmas:
With Christmas just a
round the corner, our hearts
and minds showed focus on
the true meaning of “Christ
mas”. Ask your self this
uiestion, “Why am I cele
brating Christmas?” Is your
answer Thanks, Gratitude,
and love to God for the
world’s most precious gift?
\s I think back, I see how
much God loved us, sending
his Son into the world to dio
to save us. Truly this was
the greatest love the world
has ever known. Christmas
should be a time of remem
bering and sharing God’s gift
with man-kind everywhere.

Beatie Elliott Davi»
Last Sunday we had as
visitors, Mrs. Emory Vess,
Mrs. Nora Vess, Miss Roberta
Vess. Mrs. Bill MePeters. Mr.
Walter Davis and Ransome
Davis of Black Mountain al
so Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy Guy
Vess and family of Old Fort.
Their small son. who
spent about 6 months in the
Orthopedic Hospital at Gas
tonia, they brought along,
carrying him in, braces and
all. '
He was the little boy I
wrote up in the B. M. News,
and sent him the page. The
nurses and others read it,
and an official complimented
the piece for it’s interest in
favor of the hospital.
These folks, as many do,
did not come to get their
name in the paper. They had
heard I had the flu. I told
them they waited till 1 got
well. Maybe they were afraid
they’d “ketch it’’.
Our pastor, Rev. Ralph
Gouge, informed us Sunday
that he was planning to go to
Vein Mountain Church for
full time work.
It’s to Ralph we owe the
progress made by our Church
in the last year. Six new
Sunday School rooms, a bus
to bring in folks from far
and near, and also with much
labor by Taft Elliott, the in
side work of the new church.
Then visiting us yester
day were Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Davis, and Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Davis of Spindale.
They have a summer home
here in the community. The
land was purchased and the
house built by Mr. and Mrs.
John McKaskle of West

daughter Juanita, married
Charles Davis.
Foolish To Try
To Beal Train
At Crossing
Death and total destruction
is an almost certainty for
motorists who dispute the
right of way with railroad
trains, Motor Vehicles Com
missioner Edward Scheidt
warned this week.
He said that “ an appalling
number of highway-rail ac
cidents each year are caused
by motorists who fail to heed
grade crossing warning signs
and signals.”
The vehicle executive’s con
cern was borne out by
National Safety Council of
ficials who wired Scheidt to
‘•urge your department to
call attention to grade cross
ing safety — records show
more crossing accidents dur
ing December than any other
time of the year.”
Throughout the country
more than 1200 persons are
killed annually in railroad
grade crossing wrecks, NSC
officials said.
in rs01 in Carolina trom
35 to 50 die each year.
Scheidt pointed out the
severity of such mishaps is
so much greater than other
types of traffic casualties
that the public must be made
to realize “how fatal it is to
try to beat a train to a
crossing.”
He said in addition to out
right carelessness, these o
ther factors contribute to
deadly crossing accidents:
poor visibility, inadequate
traction on snowy or icy
streets, tightly closed cars,
distracting noise from radio
and heater, and holiday
hurry.
Scheidt urged all Tar Heel
motorists and pedestrians to
join with the nation in cut
ting down December traffic
accidents by carefully ob
serving all traffic signs and
signals.
He gave these railroad
traffic safety hints:
1. Be sure all tracks are
clear. Even though a train
may have passed, there may
be another one coming.
2. If there are no lights or
audible signals at the cross
ing, listen for the train horn
and noise of its approach.
Look both ways before start
ing across the tracks.
3. If there are gates, sig
nal bells and warning lights,
don’t start across until they
stop operating.

A young North Carolinian,
Gene Harris of Plymouth, is
having his first book. Smoke
on Old Thunderhead, publish
ed November 29 by John F.
Blair, Publisher, of Winston
Mr. Harris attended the
public schools in Plymouth
and then went on to study
graphic arts. He does free
lance work in oils and water
colors, but his main interest
is in creative writing. This
is his first venture in writ
ing for juvenile readers, al
though he has been trying his
hand at composition since
high school days.
Smoke on Old Thunder
head, a story for children
eight to thirteen, is about a
boy, a witch and a wild black
bear who are drawn together
by a raging forest fire in an
adventure set in the Great
Smoky Mountains. The cen
tral character is a young boy
who evokes an exciting chain
of events by disturbing a
witch’s prized tree. Much
suspense is created by the
interrelationship of sorcery,
bear hunting and forest fire.
The illustrator, Don Har
-is (no relation to the auth
or), is also a native North
Carolinian now working as
art director for an advertis
ing firm in Roanoke, Virgin
ia He received his training
at the Harmes School of Art
in Sarasota, Florida, and at
the Boston (Massachusetts)
Museum School of Fine Arts.
The drawing for Smoke on
Old Thunderhead are his first
in the field of book illustra
tion.

HUDGINS AND MATES
AVOID HURRICANE
KAREN
Osbern E. Hudgins, Chief
gunner’s mate, USN, son of
Mr. and Mrs. 0. E. Hudgins
of 203 Vance ave., Black
Mountain, successfully avoid
ed Typhoon Karen when it
devastated Guam last month
by sailing to the open sea a
board the radar picket es
cort ship USS Haverfield.
The ship is homeported in
Apia Harbor, Guam, and left
the mid-Pacific island when
it was apparent the typhoon
would strike.
The Haverfield was the
first Navy ship to re-enter
the port after the typhoon
had passed, and her crew
helped reconstruct island fa

Imagination Key To Gift Wraps
With the coming of the biggest gift-giving season of the
year — Christmas accounts for 41 percent of the gifts an
average family buys each year — are new opportunities to
put your creative talents to work dressing up packages.
borne wrapping p a p e r,
tags, tissue, enclosure cards,
and tie-on decorations, mixed
with a dash of imagination,
is all you need to whip up
your best batch of holiday
packages yet.
Important Rules
First, a few simple, yet
important rules to help you
turn out professional look
ing packages every time.
Be sure to cut your paper
the right size, allowing e
nough to go around the box
and overlap about two inch
es. It should extend beyond
the end of the box no more
than three-quarters of the
depth.
Tape the lid to the box
to prevent bulges, then lay
the box up-side down on the
paper, being sure to center
the pattern so that it shows
to best advantage. Fold the
paper around the box and
seal. Miter the corners at
the ends and seal.
Let Imagination Go
Once your gifts are nearly
wrapped, you’re ready to let
your imagination roam to
decorate them. Here are
some suggestions to help you
get started:
— silhouettes can be used to
give a hint of what’s inside
— a fish if the package
contains something for the
ardent fisherman; a barber
pole if the content is after
shaving lotion; notes if a
musical instrument or re
cords.
-— decorate the outside of a
ribbon - tree. With green
ribbon, form a series of grad
uated loop bows to form the
outline of a Christmas tree,
then finish off with ornament
tie-ons. Use red ribbon for
the tree’s base.
— use sparkling glitter to
spell out a persons name
when you have used a solid
color foil wrapping. Write
the name with an adhesive
and then dust on the glitter.
Brighten Children’s Gifts
— c h i 1 d r e n’s gifts are
brightened with faces of
clowns and Santas, or made
to look like railroad cars.
Make cars for the train by
using flat packages of chew
ing gum covered with colored
paper. Use single life-savers
for wheels and a whole pack
age wrapped in red and
white striped gift wrapping
for the engine.
—• tall, slender gifts such
as bottles of perfume, can be
made to look like burning
candles, or like child’s party
snapper, when the ends are
fringed and tied.
