It does not seem possible that Santa Claus’ voice coming in through the loud speaker would shatter the beautiful mind pic ture children have of good-natur ed Kris Kringle. Tney love him for what he does, and not what he says, and so long as he con tinues to' perform in such liberal fashion on the night of December 24, there is no danger of the myth losing favor among them. A little boy living here saw Santa Claus at a store, shook hands with him and heard him speak. “Why his voice sounds just like it did over the radio, daddy,” re marked the youngster, speaking in a tone as if he were trying to con vince himself it was true. Thus does childish imagination work. In one evening’s sitting, Santa Claus with as many differ ent voices as there are stations dialed, can be called into being. The implicit faith that the little ones have in him is not shaken by such apparent incongruity. Santa on the radio is not hard to believe, though his voice may vary. For these many years the youngsters of every Christian land have been believing that he did impossible things—not impossible to them—such as visiting every home everywhere in one night, traveling with the slow reindeer and using tne chimney for en trance. So it is not strange that Santa should be everywhere in the air. Santa is like the Christmas spirit —he is everywhere because the childish mind knows he is—and that is enough. tXt WORK NEVER KILLS COMPLETE STOCKS Christmas is a joyful event on the year’s calendar. It is not time for sadness or disappointment, but it may be if you do not attend to that all important matter of Chrismas shopping a once. The day can be made much more pleas ant by buying deliberately. Now stocks of Christmas mer chandise are complete and selec tions are large. But they will not remain so very long. More shop pers every year are profiting from the mistakes of years gone by and are buying early this year. They know the folly of waiting until the choicest gifts have been taken by wise shoppers. Don’t postpone another day the preparation of your gift list. Write down the names of everyone you wish to remember at Christmas and jot down what you think they would like—or what you want to give them. Then visit the stores where you will find gift merchan dise. Make this Christmas a joy ful one.

Edison in wasting only four hours out of twenty-four in sleep, a phy sician says that muscles set up a toxic condition, . when fatigued, which makes such a thing as death from overwork impossible. However true that may be, num berless men think they are being overworked, or are overworking thepiselves. If the scientific man is right this type of man just thinks he’s overworked. And if he believes he is working too hard, it is because he has no love for his job. Work is a blessing, not a curse. Look about you for the happy men, and you will find them all busy men, engrossed in their daily tasks, finding pleasure in what they are doing. Eating, drinking, dissipation, late hours and the rush and lust of life kill people, but seldom, if ever, work. Folks - who don’t exactly love their job are better off working than playing. Work keeps them out of trouble, gives them regular lab its and contributes to their and happiness. THURSDAY— Devotional—Josephine Parks. Christmas exercises by the first and second grades. FRIDAY— Devotional—Lillian Brooks. Poem—Viola Wilkie. Special Song—Josephine Parks, Anel Edmunds and Mary Frances Drennan. GIRLS’ CLUB.

Roll call and minutes of last meeting. Piano solo—Evelyn Blackwell. , Demonstration procedure—“Do You Know Color?” The special feature of this meet ing was the beautiful display of pillows brought , in by each mem ber of club. This collection includ ed pillows made of organdie, voile and print made in wheel design. Mrs,, Harriet F. Johnston, state 4-H club girls’ leader visited the Washington clubs December 12, 1930. Even tifc butchTt• jnaking ILw endi; .r.: The girls’ basketball team added another victory to its credit last Wednesday afternoon by defeating the McCormick sextet with a score of 24-8. This game was played on the home court and was enjoyed by a goodly number of spectators. The McCormick team put up a brave fight and demonstrated much ability in handling the ball, but the Washington team proved just a bit too strong to be con- luered. For the visitors, McAllister, guard and Langley, Elsie, jumping center, were the outstanding stars, out the entire team co-operated ,vith them in a beautiful way. As .'or the Washington team, each >layer did her duty in a most cred ible manner; however, Edmunds, forward, surely had her eye on the oasket and scored twenty-two of Ji; twenty-four points for her ..eam.

A group of young people from | the Flat Rock Community pre sented a black-face minstrel in the school auditorium last Friday night. The program, divided into four acts, consisted of songs, jokes,, special stunts and two short plays. The small but enthusiastic crowd, enjoyed each number and much credit should be given to these folks who gave the program. Dur ing the intermission between the second and third acts, a cake walk furnished fun. The proceedfc from this will be added to the fund for buying the boys a bas ketball. children by .writing little plays and helping to act them in local the atres. • Learning how to control the air currents in caverns has enabled farmers in the Ozark mountains to develop mushroom farms in the Ozark caves. Through mistake last week, some names were omitted from the hon or roll. These were: First grade, Nettie Louise Morgan; seventh grade, Mable Cassels. This over sight is regretted very much but it was surely unavoidable. A music recital will be given in the school auditorium on Thursday night, December 18th at 8 o’clock. It is hoped that a large crowd will be present on this occasion. The music department is under the di rection of Miss Annie Laurie God bee and she, with all her pupils are working hard and putting forth every effort to make this recital a success.

Bean and Beef Porridge 11-2 cups dried b^ans 1 pound corned beei \ 1-4 pound lean salt 3 quarts water 4 medium-sized potatoes, sliced 2 medium-sized onion^, sliced . Dash cayenne Dumplings Small white beans are best. The beef should be in one large piece with no giistle and little fat, and should not be very salty. It is well to have a little bone. Soak beans for twelve hours and then drain. Add beans, beef, and pork (uncut) to water. Bring to the boiling point. Remove scum as it rises; simmer 3 or 4 hours. The slow cooking blends the flavors: At the end of this time add pota toes, onion, and cayenne. Simmer an hour longer. During the cook^ ing, v add a little hot water from time to time so as to keep quan tity of liquid constant. For the last twelve minutes cook 5 the dumplings in the porridge. Cornmeal dumplings were much used in early days. The cornmeal dumplings crumble as they cook and thicken the porridge.
