W« Wish All of Our Friends A MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS RITZ THEATRE € Most cherished among the gifts that will be ours this Yule- tide season will be the blessing of living in this Land of Liberty. Let this Christmas be for all of us, one of an honest en deavor to help each other in the best interests of all. . yoU#** A Salute To our friends and a big, hearty Christmas wish to you all, this merry, merry Christ mas senon. Looking back over the year calls to mind our greatest source of pleasure has been our contact with folks like you. Christmas holiday traffic will be the heaviest of recent years said J. S. Williamson, Chief Highay Com missioner, an dit will require extra crre on the part of both driver and pedestrain to px'event suffering from the results of traffic accidents. Motoring accidents have increased alarmingly since V-J Day reminds the Commissioner and in the first month of “fill-’er-up” driving the nation’s traffic death toll went up 40 per cent. The month afte.r gasoline rationing was lifted, almost three times as many Americans were killed in traf fic accidents as died in the bloody battle of Tarawa said Commissioner Williamson. Accidents in South Carolina also skyrocketed immediately after the lifting of gasoline rationing and for the two and one-half month period from August 15 through October th£ State’s traffic toll mounted to 93 persons killed and 447 injured in 649 serious accidens. The traffic toll of this two and one-half month period after gas rationing represented a 57 per cent increase over the same per iod of the previous year. Driving on the wrong side of the road, exceeding the lawful speed, following too closely, failure to yield right-of-way and disregard of stop signs were the five leading violations, in the order stated, that contributed to this ragic accident record. If we are to avoid the traffic mishap that might change our Christmas holiday plans our drivers should carefully avoid these violations said the Com missioner. THE 1945 CHRISTMAS SEAL WE WILL BE OPEN FOR BUSINESS FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 21st. CHAPMAN-HAWKINS COMPANY Hardware | 1319 MAIN STREET This year’s Seal was designed - by Park Phipps professor at the Art In stitute of Chicago, and shows a typi cal American boy carrying a Christ mas wreath home. Phipps, a native of Lexington, Ky., has spent most of his life in the Middle West. He is a graduate of Northwestern University and studied at the Art Institute of Chicago where he later became a member of the faculty. He has been head of the Department of Adver tising and Printing Design since 1930. Other wellknown artists who hove drawn the Christmas Seal include Howard Yyle Ernest Hamlin Baker, Thomas Cleland, Rockwell Kent, Lloyd Coe, Steven Dohanos, Dale Nichols and Spence Wildey. The first Seal sold in this country was designed by Miss Emily Bissell of Wilmington, Del., a welfare work er who had been asked to help a group of doctors who badly needed funds to continue their treatment of eight tuberculous patients. In seeking a way to raise the necessary money Miss Bissell recalled that since 1904 Christmas Seals had been sold in Denmark to help needy tuberculous children. Although no artist, she sketched a Seal bearing the message “Merry Christmas," and had several thousand printed at her own expense. That first Seal Sale in 1907, con ducted locally, was a great success. The following year the first national Seal Sale was conducted. “The Christmas Seal,” said Prof. Epting, “has now become a tradition. When used on Christmas mail it sig nifies that the sender of the package or letter has enlisted in a great cam paign against tuberculosis which once was the first cause of death in this country, but which now has dropped to seventh place as a result of an unrelenting campaign against the disease. “Despite progress made, tubercu losis is still a dangerous enemy, kill ing at the rate of one person every nine minutes. The battle against tuberculosis must continue until this disease no longer threatens the health and happiness of the people of our community. Everyone can enlist in this fight by the purchase and use of Christmas Seals, which are the §ole means of support of the local tuber culosis association.” THE NEWBERRY SUN RECENT DISCHARGES FROM ARMED FORCES Herman Hipp Coates Harvey Lee Cook James H.

Pre-christian Druids, celebrating the winter solstice, offered a boar’s; head to the goddess Frey a and, be cause of its food value, boar has al ways been an important part of fes tive menus. i: Once upon a Christmas Day—so the story goes—a student of Oxford was studying Aristotle while walking in Shotover forest. Suddenly a wild boar rushed at the lad who, in des peration, crammed his book into the gaping jaws of the beast. The student was poor and could not afford to lose his Aristotle, so he cut off the boar’s head and re covered the text book; neither was a good boar’s head to be wasted, so it was taken to Queen’s college, roasted and eaten. Whenceforth, elaborate ceremonies attend the bringing in of the boar’s head on! Christinas Day.
