The first part at the lesson text expresses the great paradox that Giving is Life; Withholding is Death. The words in capitals are the caption of a poem about Galilee and the Dead Sea—die one a cen ter of life because it gives out the Jordan waters, the other called Dead because “what it gives it keeps, nor gives to shore nor sea beside.** The true disciple must deny himself—his own will and the right to do just as he pleases, that he may surrender himself absolutely te the Lord Jesus. This is infinite ly more a mere “self-denial. *’ Eight days after the giving of the paradox, Jesus took Peter and James John and went up into .a w**nw*h»fr* to pray. And as Jesus prayed, he was transformed Into the Being of shining glory. It was the light that came from within that made him glow with splendor. A cloud came upon the mount aT >d out of it came a voice, saying, “This Is my Son. my chos en, hear ye him.** The Transfiguration prepared Jesus and strengthened him for the crucifixion. It is recorded that Moses and Elijah appeared in glory and talked with Jesus of his decease that he should accomplish at Jerusalem. And certainly the Transfiguration meant much to the disciples—their souls were filled with the effulgence of the divine glory. Home Cage Season Begins Friday A crew of inexperienced men will be the nucleus of the New berry basketball team when the freshman lined Indians will be at home in MacLean gymnasium FViday and Saturday. Fridav and Saturday, December 2 and 3 of this week. The week’s home game schedule includes N. Georgia college. Friday, and Pied mont college, Saturday. Coach George Pickett, currently in his first season as head Basket ball coach, expects to put on the court four freshmen and one sen ior as his tentative starting line up. Originally Pickett had planned to start all freshmen Herb Jacob sen, John Dugan, Bobby Lynch, Tom Keegam and Jim Woolridge, but in searching for a better working combination, Pickett has moved senior and co-captain Paul Cone to the starting line up to re place Jim Woolridge. That move was a sacrifice of height for a better floor combination. ’ Wool ridge stainds six feet five to Cone six feet one Summerville product. The Indians are still handicap ped by a height shortage. Aquired height in Herb Jacobsen 6-8 and Woolridge 6-5 was a great asset to the team. The Indians have two of the flashy guards to handle the floor games, John Dugan and Bobby Lynch. Both of these freshmen are sharp-shooters, hitting from all angles. Key rebound men will be Herb Jacobsen and Tom Keegan. Pick ett expects Jacobsen to keep New berry in the game as far as de fensive rebounding goes.

Decorations Talked At Club Meeting “The whole idea behind Christ mas decor is a matter of taste,” stated Mrs. Lloyd Hamiter of Col umbia in a program on holiday arrangements presented in the conference room of Weasel’s lib rary to the members of the Gar den Study cflub and the Junior Garden club last week. “There is everything from the simple red table cloth centered with ever greens to scenes depicting a Christmas pageant,” she said, em phasizing that decorations should be displayed throughout the house to attract the attention of all people, particularly the children during the holiday season. Assising Mrs. Hamiter was Mrs. W. E. Berne, also of Columbia. Together, they displayed many clever and attractive arrange ments suitable for every room. There were for the children the brightly painted plates, gaily dec- 1 orated with Santas or Christmas tress; a sealed pickle jar deplet ing an angel in a snow scene; a red sock with a glass container temptingly filled with candy sticks or flowers; paper plate Santas. In addition, there were sprays and wreaths for the door; lovely Madonna and angel scenes, a uni que cocktail party arrangement of a cabbage centered with a spark ling candle; an angel tree; a clev erly cut tree from screen decorat ed with glass beads and sequins; the traditional mistletoe bells. Mrs. James C. Kinard, Mrs. I. M. Satterwhite, Sr., and Miss Hat tie Belle Lester were responsible for this interesting and informa tive program. Mrs. Kinard intro duced Mrs. Lloyd Hamiter and Mrs. W. E. Berne. Mrs. Vernon Carlton presided over the business meeting. Mrs. Cannon Penney was welcomed as a new member. The secretary read a letter from Mrs.. M. H. Maner of Columbia praising the.

A delightful social hour was enjoyed. The hostess, Mrs. Roy Whitaker, Mrs. Thompson Price and Mrs. J. Thad McCrackln, Sr. served delicious refreshments. f* "I REMEMBER BY THE OLD TIMERS From Mrs. Arthw C. Wells, Bakersfield, Vermont: Did your grandfather give you old-fashioned lemon drops when you had finished your sewing stint? I remember as a small girl I was required to sew a block '"over and over’’ ev ery morning after breakfast. My fingers would get sticky and the thread soiled because it was hard work for me, a high-strung, im patient child. But at the end, there was kindly grandfather with his bag of lemon drops! And in the late afternoon of those hot summer days, grandmother fed the geese. “Geese, geese,” she would call and across the meadow they would come, wad dling and scolding, to the barn. The flock used to wander tar from horns, foraging. One time a sudden storm surprised them on the other side at die' rising river. Grandmother called and they swam across the water and came home. Feather-plucking time came In late August Herded Into the shed, they were teken one at e time onto ib* barn floor, and a pillow ease drawn and tied over the heed. One person held the goose while another skillfully live-plucked the soft feathers. I remember gathering eggs, very large ones, but the im portant work of the geese was to grow feathers for the family bed and pillows and I think they earned their good fare of home-grown corn.

Cooperates In S-D Observance Since early in the year 1954 the entire postal service has been en gaged in an intense “Safe Driv ing” program and this year’s pro gram is being climaxed with the observance of S-D day December 1 and the use of an appropriate slogan for the entire month of December which carries through the holiday season. The' local post office is participating in the spirit of the S-D day program. Parcel post delivery trucks throughout the country have been carrying safe driving posters since November 21 and the local post office, truck has not been an ex ception. The postal fleet includes 85000 trucks with 100,000 drivers and their safety record during the first 11 months of this year has been remarkable. Postmaster Gen eral Summerfleld recently accapt- ed on behalf of the postal service the National Saifety Council’s cita- tiem for meritorious “Service To Safety” which was awarded for the year 1054. 1256 has shown improvement over last year’s rec ords. The local post office is proud to have been free from a major accident and is striving at this time to maintain that record. Sev eral drivers, including rural car riers, are now far advanced to ward receiving safe driving aw ards made by the Post Office de- patment to accident free drivers. For the month of December the slogan adopted by the postal ser vice is "Experts Avoid Holidan- ger.” Continued response during •this last month of the year will give the postal service a greater record even than 1954. \x l/r BY HELEN HALE H AVE your sewing box handy?

It was just ona hundred years ago that Louis Pasteur, the great French chemist, inoculated a hu man being for rabies—then called hydrophobia. Previously he had experimented successfully with animals. In 1855, a woman from Alsace brought into his laboratory bar nine-year-old boy who had been bitten by a mad dog. Pasteur, encouraged by his colleagues, in oculated the lad with 12 progres sively stronger doses of his pro phylactic scrum during a 10-day period. The next several weeks proved definitely that Pasteur had developed a new, dependable vac cine. Farmers ef today would place little work value on the earliest known horse of America. It was the Eohippus, and stood three hands (12 inches) high. Several million years later, the horse reached a height of 15 inches.
