beautiful slides from master
artists were shown at strategic
moments on a huge screen
flanked by evergreens and
the velvet curtains of the bap
tistry to give fitting back
ground. A lighted star, cross,
and crown appeared above
this at proper intervals. The
carols and anthems were well
done. Soloists included Jerry
Biddix, Linda Bradley, Tony
Moore, Mrs. Everette Murray,
and Mrs. Jackson. Rev. and
Mrs. George L. Hocutt were
readers. John May and E. H
Snypes were the electricians,
with further assistance given
by Paul Turner. An especially
impressive feature was that
of gifts of self and service.
On entering the church each
person had received a sheet
of typed gift suggestions in
cluding several under each of
the following heading: My
Life, My Money, My Time,
My Talents, My Home. At a
specified moment in the pro
gram the audience checked
those they would give, then
without signatures brought
them voluntarily and laid
them on the altar.
When the benediction was
pronounced and the choir had
softly sung the last beautiful
phrases of “God So Loved the

In clinical tests, a doctor states that a few patients lost 20 pounds

no hunger discomfort. (The lady pictured is one of them.)
Thousands of users have reported success with the diet. Hundreds
of doctors have requested thousands of copies for their patients.

claims for this diet. A few users dislike
the Diet. Individual reactions vary.

World”, there was a moment of
deep and reverent silence.
Then to the joyous postlude of
“The Hallelujah Chorus”, the
people filed downstairs to the
social hall to join in a de
lightful fellowship hour. Here
again was more beauty in de
corations and in the perfectly
appointed table from which
seasonable refreshments were
served by Mrs. L. L. Biddix
and Mrs. E. Y. Moore.
Junior G.A. and Sunbeams
had their special meetings on
Friday and Saturday before
Christmas. Contributions were
made to the Lottie Moon of
fering and the counselors
(Mrs. George Hocutt and Mrs.
James McMahan) also guided
the children in making at
tractive gifts for their
mothers.
rhe Intermediate Banquet
scheduled for Monday evening,
Dec. 23, had to be indefinitely
postponed because of icy
streets.
Like a picture from some
great artist was the scene on
our front lawn on Thursday
evening, Dec. 19 when, at
tracted by the beautiful sound
of carols, we went to the door
to see a fine group of Juniors
in warm bright wraps, stand
ing in the bitter cold to sing
joyfully from their hearts.
Led by Mrs. E. H. Snypes and
Mrs. James McMahan, this
group sang for a number of
sick or elderly people before
going to the church for re
freshments served by Miss Lin
da Snypes. Instead of present
ing gifts to each other at this
party, the children brought
! their Gifts for Christ (Lottie
Moon Offering).
I In The Community
Quite a number of Ridge
cresters went elsewhere for
I Christmas, but guests “came
home" to family gatherings
also. One of the largest of
these parties was the one in
the E. Y. Moore home on
Christmas Eve. For thirty
years this has been an annual
event for this family, and this
year every member could be
there. Besides the host and
hostess, the following was pre
sent: Mr. and Mrs. Howard
Wright, and their daughter,
Mrs. Ray Elmore and Mr. El
more from Jefferson City,
Tenn.; Mr. and Mrs. Ralph
Pearson and their daughter,
Carol, from Reidsville, N. C.;
Mr. and Mrs. Joe Moore and
little daughter, Rachel; Mr.
and Mrs. Stanley Moore of
Swannanoa; Miss Ann Moore
of Asheville; and Tony Moore.
Other guests were John Schi

MO WONDB YOUR GRASS IS GREENER
pJ facu rr/ts
When the gras* Is always greener
in the other fellow's yard, it
Stay be shortsightedness rather than
CSvy that’s coloring the eyes of the
beholder. He doesn't know the rea
«on wbv the grass really Is greener
—namely, that die wise gardener
lias tsken the trouble to make ante
tgets all the water ha needs to
p his grass healthy.
More than 1,000 communities
•boss the nation share the plight
of the fellow with the covetous eye.
In spite of seeing other communi
ties enjoying an adequate supply of
good, dean water, they assume
there's a water shortage and there’s
nothing they can do about it. This
attitude still prevails after they’ve
endured another summer without
sufficient water for watering their
lawns, swimming, air-conditioning
and washing their can. It remains
unshaken even though critically-low
water pressure left some towns
without enough water to fight a
serious fire.
What they fail to understand is
that there is no real shortage of
water. According to the National
Water Institute, this country uses
only 70-100 billion gallons a day
out of a total economically avail*
able daily supply Of 300-400 bit*
lion gallons.
Ihe real shoitag* is In their ton
jht — their hide of long-range
planning for local water systems to
get the water from where it is to
where it is needed. Yeats ago the
townspeople failed to ask the im
perative questions about their com*
munit/a potential growth that
would affect their demand for
water. Faced now with inadequate
equipment for transporting, pump
ing, treating, storing, and distribut
ing water, they're answering for
their neglect with cries of "water
shortage.’’
What about our town? Will we
allow another summer to pass be
fore we answer our vital water
questions? It will take improved
and expanded facilities to avoid
"water shortages" next summer and
the many summers to come. We
must plan now for our future.
