C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1951 what it should stand for now. And in our homes decorations and trees will contribute to the meaning and impressiveness of the season the 1 world is soon to celebrate. There could be no Christmas, of course, without Santa Claus. Neither could there be a Santa Claus with out the .Chrismtas spirit. This char acter is one the whole world loves, for he is indeed the bearer of gifts,* good cheer, happiness and kindness.: Pity the man, woman or child, who does not believe in Santa Claus. And so as a climax to today’s celebration, Santa in his traditional red suit, smiling and waving at his countless friends, will thrill many hearts, and rightly so. From today on he will be on his job of promoting faith and joy and happiness, which this self- 1 ish, disturbed and war-stricken : world sadly needs. Yes, the Christmas season begins! dawning upon us again. Let us all| catch the true spirit as does the little child. Little Health Seals The little Christmas seals have been distributed in the homes of this community for sale. The tiny health messengers cost only a penny each and the funds received from their sale go on a mission of mercy to help those they are intended to help. The stamp this year, as always, is attractive and makes a warm appeal. All of us, regardless of where we live, are asked to buy the little seals and use them on our letters and packages during the holiday season. A worthy cause, and with no ear mark of a commercial appeal. Words and Cabbage A grocer in Bishopville carries some very unique advertisements in his home town paper frequently. Last week he had this one. The Ten Commandments contain 291 words. • Lincoln’s Gettysburg address con tains 266 words. • The Declaration of Independence _ , , contains 300 words.

There will be lovely floats, music by bands, carols, the picture to be completed with the turning on of the lovely Christmas lights to burn self-serving and general exploita tion of high office are shocking and disgraceful. Socialism has grown rampant, and this is one. of the worst consequences of what is going on. It is destroying individual liberty, putting our lives and fortunes into the hands of bu reaucrats, strangling our free mar kets and free enterprise with politi cal control, tearing down the Amer ican way of life in fbvor of the very essence of despotism that our fathers throughout the holiday season. Here fo,a Sht to overthrow. vari-colored lights will serve as a constant reminder to shoppers and visitors that Christmas is almost here, that you had better get busy with your planning and buying, and that nowhere will you find a better place to supply your needs than in Clinton, or nowhere will you see a prettier light arrangement than right here in the same town. This continuous string of multi-colored harbingers of joy and good will will help make us all young again and indelibly impress upon us that this is the season of all seasons for little children. * As in the past, the city is provided with appropriate decorations in the business districH. Merchants are asked to decorate their stores and windows to add to the Yuletide pic ture. While there is the danger al ways of becoming too commercially- minded, still a real Christmas spirit helps to impress upon us all what Christmas originally stood for, and If a house-cleaning was ever needed in Washington more than at any other period in the nation’s his tory—thart time is now.
