THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1949 Yuletide Thoughts Christmas is not a date. It is a state of mind. ******* No man lives today who does not 'eck. in some way, to follow a guitf- star, whatever :t may be. ******* It was Christ who, by his volun tary acceptance of the role of ser vant. has been elevated to the royal purple and seated at God's right hand ******* At few. if any, times since Christ was born have all the people of the earth needed faith, trust, and peace much as they do now. ****••• % When we celebrate the birthday of Chr.st we ought not to think of him only as a child. Tho«e who think Christmas is only a festival about a child, for children, veer away from facing Him as an adult.

But remember this, mass pro duction would be impossible with out mass distribution. The goods from the factories must bfc moved ^ swiftly, efficiently, and economically , into the hands of the people who | use them That is the job of the re tailers. Visitors from abroad are always amazed and disbelieving when they j see a typical American shopping center, whether it be on Fifth ave nue or Main street in a small town. ■ They are so used to a subsistence standard of living, an economy of' scarcity at home, that they believe' it to‘be a universal state of affairs. Free enterprise, as exemplied by the shop windows, and many other w-ays, shows them how wrong they are. American business can only remain I great through free enterprise and initiative to work and grow without government interference. inadequate endowment, all other . ariem.c requirements of the asso- i-'.ion be:r.g fullv met It is a source .»f p'casure to all fr.ends of the • ho«'l to know that the endowment requirements have been more than rrt‘1. the fund now standing at $509,- ••oo Ajth no debt Thu bespeak> a • ■rii'h* future t *r the institution The return of the college to the ««>ocijti >n with no restrictions • e.r < b:gger and better Presoy- •crr.n .ollege And the accreditation mear > that its graduates’ work will t< re gmred and accepted by col- ege» and universities anywhere I'ongr^tulations are in order to Pres ident Brown and the school’s friends a ho have made this fine accomplish- ment possible Horry, the Champion According to figures compiled by John T.
