CHRISTMAS SAVINGS 1
At banks all over the country, de
positors in Christmas Savings clubs
are about to draw out tlwir money,
the result of a ye'r of prudent fore
sight and thrift. They will have gain
ed something more than the mere supi
that is credited to them, and the nite
things that can be bought with it.
Many of them have made a new
discovery. They thought previously
that it was impossible for them to
save money. The demands made on
them were so numerous and pressing,
that they simply could not lay aside
a cent. Now they know they were
mistaken.
•.Incited by the savings club scheme,
they have set to work the past year
to form this regular habit of laving
aside something out of their income,
and have found that they can do it,
and not suffer any unhappiness or de
privation either. By forethought and
planning they can get along all right.
Now if they will not use up all this
sum they have accumulated, but will
lay aside some of it, and regularly
add to it each year, they have made
a start toward financial independence.
THE SEASON ENDS
The college football season, claim
ing the attention of thousands of peo
ple, has ended. Interest in the great
gridiron sport- increases with each
year and the class of football that is
being played is continually improving.
One year over, all eyes are immedia
tely turned on the next season and
lovers of the game dream and pro-
phesy aa to what will happen one year
hence.
But we started out to say that while
the Presbyterian College team, under
Walter Johnson, did not win the pen
nant, all things taken into considera
tion, it made a very creditable show
ing. The nightmare of the season
just ended was the Newberry exhibi
tion, but barring it, the Blue Stock
ing boys played a good brand of ball
and made a fine impression wherever
they appeared. This year’s team is
composed almost entirely of young
men, inexperienced as compared with
many others in the things that happen
on a football field. With the experi
ence they have gained this year, the
foundation has been laid for a still
stronger team next season, and there
is no reason why P. C. should not
have as good a team as can be found
in South Carolina.
Congratulations to the 1925 eleven.
The boys fought a manly fight, they
played cllkp football, ancl conducted
themselves like gentlemen. This in
the long run, is the thing that counts.
It is the only thing that will protect
- and save college athletics.
A wdRTHY APPEAL
The lo^ral Lutherans, through one
of their l^nost devoted and belo 1
members, Ira C. Boland, are making
an appeal to the Clinton people for
financial assistance in the erection of
their cwn house of worship, which is
n^w under construction.
Certainly, if there are any church
people anywhere who deserve congra
tulations and encouragement, they are
the local citizens of the Lutheran
faith. Five years ago, with twenty
charter members, St. John’s Lutheran
church of ClintAn, was organized, and
Dr. A. J. ^Bowers served as its first
and beloved pastor. During this
period these people have been with
out a house of worship, but through
the kindness of the Masonic Temple
have bee$ able to regularly hold their
church services. They have shpwn an
interest and a fidelity to the church
they love, that is remarkable and is
to be commended in the highest terms.
During all this period they have had
their eves on one goal, that of owning
their own church building. They have
labored and sacrificed until now their
hopes are soon to be realized. They
are happy in the thought, and rightly
so, for it is a privilege to every man
and woman to have a church in his
or her community with which to affi
liate and to manifest a spirit of loyal
ty towards as has this small congrega
tion.
With a membership of only 35, one
can readily see that they have tackled
a big task, and one that they cannot
accomplish unless the people of our
sister churches come to their rescue.
With this end in view, several citizens
representing the various denomina
tions of the city, have volunteered to
serve on a committee to raise funds to
help the Lutherans in owning their
own church building. All in the com
munity, regardless of church affilia
tions, will be given an opportunity to
contribute to this fund, and it is hoped
that there will be a generous and
sympathetic response. The cause is
a worthy one and should appeal to the
hearts of our people. None of us
would live in Clinton, or in any other
community for that matter; where
there were no churches. We are all
joined in the same purpose, with the
same Father over all, and all working
with the same end in view. A spirit
of unity, of helpfulness among church
members is always beautiful and high
ly desirable and helpful. It is well to
remember this at all times.
The Lutherans have undertaken a
big job and they must have help if
they succeed: Wouldn’t it be fine if
every church member in Clinton would

Says Various Countries Will

Caen, France, Nov. 30.—It is going
to be a cold winter all around the
41st parallel of latitude, as cold ga-
the winter of 1740 in England, when
the Thames froze over. This pre
diction is made by Abbe Gabriel,
France’s most distinguished meterolo-
gist and distinguished
University of Caeni.
“New York, Chicago, all of Canada
and the whole of the northern part
of the United States will have a bit
terly cold winter, which ought to set
in about the middle of December or
early in January,”' said the priest-
meterologist to the Associated Press.
“This is my prediction, based on my
system of weather forecast I may
be wrong, of course, but if the win
ter is cold, 9s I have said it will be,
it will be proof that astronomic cy
cles do exist and it wiR- go far toward
establishing a scientific basis for me-
terology. France, Germany, and Eng
land will have a big share in the cold
weather.”
With the advent of cold weather
yesterday there are not a few per
sons who believe that Abbe Gabriel’s
prediction will come true.

THE PUBLIC’S ATTITUDE TO
WARD ATHLETES
Dr. Hopkins, president of Dart
mouth college, recently protested
against the attitude of the public to
ward the athletes in football and such
sports. So long as they win, he said,
they are heroes, touted to the skies.
But let them lose a game or two, and
make a few mistakes, they are brand
ed as yellow, and as cowards and ig
noramuses.
Lovers of baseball know too well
the type of bleacherite who howls for
a player to be taken out for some one
mistake, when he himself could not go
on the diamond and catch a pop fly
hit with a basket. »
We demand courteous conduct on
the field from the athletes, and then
many of the spectators give the play
ers this kind of a deal. College ath
letes are often made to feel that they
must win games or they are dis
graced.
A game like football demands that
the players- act with intelligence and
quickness of chain lightning, and act
perfectly right, too. The players are
, held up by the spectators to an im
possible standard, for the human mind
is not usually built so it acts that
way. When a player makes a bril
liant play, some slight shift of luck
might turn the whole situation against
him, so that he may not be entitled
to any more credit than the one who
