In those .homes where there are children, where San ta Claus is coming down the chim ney on Christmas Ewe, -drugging his pack of toys, after tthe boys and girls are snug in bed, Christmas js real, real for the grown ups us well as for the children. For grown ups who listen -day by day to the' prattle, of little children as Christmas draws, near, who lok into the eager little faces, widyea and expectant, as the stockings are hung by the fire place and the little ones are tucked into bed on Christ mas Eve and then, in the early dawn of Christmas morning hear the pat ter of little feet as they steal down on tiptoe to find what Santa Claus has brought, must thrill to the sheer rapture of the children. That is Christmas, real Christmas. But there is another side to the picture of Christmas. There are homes where there cannot be much for the children on Christmas morn ing unless it comes from outside the home, some one other than the pa rents must furnish the wherewithal if the children are to have much to bring joy on Christmas morning. Sometimes it doesn't come. Not all little children get their hearts de sire on Christmas morning. There are many homes right here in Perquimans . where ' little children who have heard the glowing tales of Santa Claus and who, like all chil dren, are expecting toys and good things to miraculously appear, will wake to disappointment on Christ mas mnminB". -' This ought not to be. There should be no empty stockings in Per quimans. ;v . And there will be no empty stock ings and no disappointed children about us if we know the real mean ing of Christmas. If you don't know where to find these children, the unfortunate ones whose Christmaa may not be all joy, get in touch , with the Welfare De partment, Miss Ruth Davenport, the Welfare Officer, is sending out a call for help In making Christmas happy for some little ones who have come to her attention.
