UPPER CEDAR CREEK COMMUNITY 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.

The land was purchased and the house built by Mr. and Mrs. John McKaskle of West Monroe, Louisiana, whose 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. Classifieds Sell-Ph.

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.
