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.

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

reaucrats, strangling our free mar

that nowhere will you find a better

prettier light arrangement than

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
