ly you can keep your nerve when all
about you
The pessimists are spreading doubt
and fear;
If you can persevere despite depres
sion
ing near;
If you can work ahead and keep your
counsel
While politicians shout and tell you
what to do;
If you can face your task with reso
lution
And bring to bear the greatest pow
ers in you; ,
If you can sleep and not indulge in
nightmare,
Dream peacefully and make your
dreams come true;
If you can listen patiently to critics
And practice golden silence as your
cue;
If you can hear the wicked lies about
you
And treat them one and all with
proud disdain;
If you can bear a load of vicious slan
der
And not give way beneath the .awful
strain;
If you can talk to crowds and not get
angry;
Or bitterly retort when they cry
“Boo!”
If you can face the foe and keep on
smiling,
When papers and cartoonists libel
you;
If you can fill the ever fleeting min
ute
With unremitting toil and think it fun;
You’re heading for success my fel
low-toiler,
And—what is more—you’ll be a para
gon!

Planting, one of the most interest
ing phases of Forest Service activity,
is a project of more than ordinary
importance and magnitude on the En-
ore e District. Plans now being for
mulated call for the planting of a half
million trees next spring—trees en
ough to furnish one to every fourth
person in South Carolina!
Nature often sows several million
seed to grow a hundred mature trees.
The forester cannot be so prodical. He
must substitute knoleric* of what,
where, when and how to sow the plant.
Further, the forester can improve on
natural methods by careful selection
of parent • trees and by genetical
crosses of desirable species. No plan-
tationg, for this reason, are establish
ed within a hundred yards of a seed
tree. The transplanted nursery stock
carefully selected and studied as Is
fine livestock, must be guarded
against the introduction of less vigor
ous and less hardy strains.
Bulk of seedlings now in the beds of
the Enpree Nursery, located along
side Highway No. 176, joining CCC
Camp F—6 on the north, is comprised
of loblolly pine, greatly desirable for
■becking erosion and for reproduction.
Black locust seedlings also will be ex
tensively used in erosion work. Other
products of the nursery are mimosa
and slash pine, with plans for the fu-
ure including wildlife feed and cover
crops for propagation on the Enoree
Game Management Areas. . v • )
The nursery stock to be set iout
next spring necessitates, with 6’ X 6’
spacing, a total of approximately
four hundred acres, which, with plant
ing at high efficiency, will require a
crew of twenty men every day fot- an
entire month!
The present capacity of the Enoree
Nursery, a million seedlings, will pos
sibly be increased by fifty per cent in
1938 to cope with demands of needed
reforestation on this National Forest
and others.

Christmas is drawing near. Guess
everyone has baked their first fruit
cakes. Then ladies have been quite
busy cleaning and decorating their
houses. The decorating of trees with
electric lights seems to be increasing.
I heard a lady say that she never
dreamed that her house would ever be
decorated with electricity. I have
seen several- decorated, all i. are
very beautiful. I don’t like to show
partiality but I do think that my neice
Ruby Ruff has the prettiest.
Well here is a question. Whichshows
the most Christmas Spirit? “The on*
who gives a gift or the receiver?” The
giver always shows the most spirit,
but if each gives a present they both
have the yuletide spirit in their heart.
I once heard a young minister say
that he had put a beautiful work bas
ket on a Christmas tree for a young
lady. After the exercises were over
she came and asked him if he had
given it as just a sweetheart or as a
friend. She said if it was given as a
sweetheart he could take it back but
he told her just to keep ot. : .
This is proof that each party does
n’t always have the spirit toward
each other. While in some cases they
do, in ftthers they differ.
It has been predicted a wanner
Christmas than w e have had for sev
eral years. I hope this i* true.
Wishing all a Merry Christmas and
trusting we will all have a grand time.
HOME FOR HOLIDAYS ’
Richard B. Weam, son of Mr. and
Mrs. G. F. Wearn, will arrive here
Friday from New York City to spend
the holidays with his parents.
Cadet Wilson Weam of Clemson
College is home for the holidays.

JOHN DWIGGINS DIES
SHOPPING |
Now that you have the majority of
your gifts bought and wrapped in thee
unusually bright and colorful papers
and ribbons sold this year, your
thoughts are probably turning to the
Christmas dinner. Be your family
large or small, something special must
be prepared. Notice Clarence T. Sum
mer’s grocery ad in this issue. Get
a piece of paper and begin now to
make out that list for a very special
dinner and for a very special price.
Clarence T. Summer figures that your
Christmas meals need not cost any
more than everyday meals.
Passes At Sister’s Home Monday
John A. Dwiggins, 62, died at the
home of his sister, Mrs. N. J. Dillion,
in Kemersville, N. C. Monday night.
Funeral services were held Wednes
day afternoon at 2:30 in Kernersville.
Mr. Dwiggins, after about a month’s
illness at his home here, was taken to
North Carolina where he has been re
siding a month before his death.
He was first married to Miss Bes
sie Young and from this union sur
vives two sons, John Jr. and Robert.
He was later married to the former
Miss Ola Winn of Abbeville who sur
vives him. Also surviving are two
sisters.
Perhaps you may not be planning to
buy a new car just at this season, but
it doesn’t hurt one bit to window shop
I’ve gound. In passing by Davis Mo
tor Company, my eye was caught by
the unusual and unique seasonal de
corations of the display floor of
Davis’. I understand the credit all
goes to Mrs. Willie Mayer. Big red
cellophane bows and holly decorate
each of the new ’SS Chevrolets and
Buicks on the floor. In the window
are placed two prettily decorated
Christmas trees on either side of a
toy car that any small boy would envy.
Whether preparing to fill the
children’s stockings or arrange the
Christmas table, a store of fruits, nuts
and candies must always be ready.
Why not shop for the Christmas neces
sities at J. Claud Sehn’s grocery store.
There you will find a special price on
such things and with the savings you
can buy that almost forgotten Christ
mas gift.
In this Christmas issue of the Sun
you will find merry greeting cards
from your merchant and your county
officials. They have appreciated your
support in the past, and will continue
to do so. Show these merchants your
appreciation for their service by do
ing all of your shopping in the “City
Of Friendly Folks.”
