The kind hearted little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bird was born on Christmas day. She was named Car ol because her mother heard some children singing the Christmas hymn, Carol, Children Carol.

Though not quite completed in a single day, with the help of his neighbors on that "holiday” about a hundred years ago, Henry Nave got his cabin ready for his family and the day after Christ mas took them into his shelter. Of course the house was built of undressed lumber, felled right on his farm. When he had selected the location this pioneer cut down round poles for the walls, rafters and joists—the framework. Mr. Nave had found some large, flat stones, and in the afternoon they dragged these into place for the hearth. Then of other suitable rocks, by much puffing and pulling they built a fireplace—one of those great practical ones which served to heat the home and to cook ven ison, buffalo meat, corn pone and other “victuals.” The exterior of this fireplace was wood, the stones providing a fireproof lining. The mortar to bind the stones was chiefly mud; to obtain even this simple ingredient it was nec essary to build a are in the middle While the Little Nave Children Wished (or Things. of the half-constructed cabin and thaw the ground. But, writes this hardy woodsman, “It was not many days until we were living snugly in our cabin and in good health and with fine appetites." Holidays among our ancestors were made occasions (or such cel ebrations as this, but they never witnessed the cessation from la bor ours afford. There was always need for immediate shelter, crop harvesting, or game killing. Hence log-raisings, corn-huskings, and gun-shoots were made social oc casions. But do you suppose we ever have more fun than Henry Nave's family and friends had . building a house on Christmas day? ^ . 0 Wcatej-u Ntwtpapcr Union. cents. Progress of Kings Mountain Band (By Melva Settlemyre) The Kings Mountain High School Band has made guite a showing in the last few months and expects to do more before long, but not before we show the citizens of Kings Moun tain what we are capable of do!n%. We are planning to give a concur. Friday night, December 11, in th High School Auditorium. The band will give about a 45 minute concert. The school glee cluos will sin., ar tre beginners wiiil play a special number. I would like to s’* • word for the beginners, and let the people kniv, that had B tut been fo1' the strict attention and perfect co operation of the children and hard earned efforts of Mr. Hendricks, and a few others, these eighteen small boys and girls would not be able to play one of the difficult nutn bers often played by the seniorbnnri as a inarching number, “Activity.’ We are proud of them and can see the making of a fine band and we feel sure that you will think the same after you once hear them and see what they are doing. I would also like to say that we appreciate the help and interest that has beer, shown the band by our Supt., Mr. B. N. Barnes. The Girls’ Basketball Team (By Buren Neill) What promises to be one of the most colorful and hard fought sea sons is the on-coming girls’ basket ball season. Although we have only two or three girls left from our team last year we feel sure we can accom plish as much and more with our ?5 freshmen and the juniors and sop ’Oinores combined. The majority of the girls out for basketball have ta ken a great interest the game and ire really working. We know this is ill due to the fact that we have onf> ' >f the best coaches in the state — 1 vfiss Bertie Pasour. The boys’ basketball team has bo tun its practice. Since thefe are a bout five boys from last years’ team r.d a large group of freshmen, son- ‘ mores and juniors, there should be a very good team. The schedule for the 1936-37 basketball season has not been made out. but will be print ed in this space after December 17, as that is the date that the coaches' [rm different teams will meet in Hickory to make the schedules.
