Kiwaniuns Knjoy Christn.uH Program Klwanls enjoyed »n»e of the really flue programs of the year •t the final meeting of I Oft?, held on Thursday at the Community Hall. The program which was tauter the direction of Dr. Conrad H. Pmk, Dean of Newhiny Col lege, centered around the Christ mas Story as recounted by Saint Matthew and Saint Luke. The story was interspersed at inter vals by appropriate mnsie in the form of solos, Hone Hainbino, Birthday of the King, and Holy Night, rendered by Dr. Milton Mooie of the Newberry* College music faculty. The Christmas message was pre sented by Dr. Paul Grier, pastor of the Newberry Associate Ke formed Presbyterian Church. His subject was, "What Will You Get From Christmas?" Dr. Grier developed l>is address around three of the values which one may rightly expect aw a result of i he proper olwiervanre of Christ mas: Joy, wonder, worship. Dr. G i id's mossage is summarised hrifely by three «pmtations: "The real joy of Christmas is tho joy we have In Knowing that the l.ord is come," "How it must have fill rd the hearts of those people with wonder to think that God Him self could come and had come to make His dwelling among men in the form of a man"; and finally. "There iw only one step between the right kind of wonder and wor ship. We should get the spirit of worship from Christmas." Traditional Christmas carols were sung at Intervals through out the program with Kiwanian Darr Wise at the piano. Guests included Dr. Milton Moore and the Rev. Paul K. Monroe, Jr., pas tor of the Lutheran Ghureh of the Redeemer. Nice President Dr. Paul Hulsey presided.

Largest Mails Handled Here Postmaster Harry F«, Moose said today that the number of Christmas cards and letters mailed by Newherriana this season reach ed the level of last year’s mail ing by Friday, December 20th. "This indicates a larger mailing than ever before," he said. Due to Christmas day coming in the middle of the week patrons seemed to take advantage of the entire week prl.*e to Christmas week to spread out the mailing of their greetings, the postmaster re ported. "This enabled the local force to handle the largest Christ mas mail volume ever even though there was a shortage of trained personnel. The fine cooperation of the public in separating their cards and letters into bundles of "local” and "out-of-town” pack ages contributed greatly to the moving of the mails,” Mr. Moose added.

Rowley I T WAS three days before Christ mas and 1 was getting panicky. Every evening my father came home with mysterious bundles un der both arms, but he seemed to have forgotten the most important thing of all—Vie Christmas tree. To a twelve-year-old such as I this was serious. We were usually the first kids on the block to have a tree on the back porch. I found my mother in the kitchen. "Do you think dad has forgotten the tree?” I asked anx iously. "No Bob. Your father has been too busy lately to think of every thing. He’ll get the tree one of these days." "One of these days? Why, Christ mas is almost heral” Mother went out of )he kitchen, Library Be Closed For Holidays The Newberry-Saluda Regional Library will be dosed for the Christmas holidays, December 24 to December 30th, The Children’s Story Hour will not be held De cember 23rd and December 30th, but will be continued as usual January 0.

"Mr. Sherwood’s got millions of Christmas trees on his estate," he said with a sly look. "They Just grow there.” "So? Mr. Sherwood doesn’t sell trees.” "Remember the camping axe dad bought for your birthday?” At first I was shocked. Then I began to think of going through Christmas without a tree. George nodded seriously—as if this were the only solution to our problem. "You don’t think he’d miss a tee- nit one?” 1 asked. "Never know it was gone,” George assured me. Well, I wasn’t keen on the idea, but we were desperate. As we trudged towards Mr. Sherwood's place I suggested: "Suppose we leave some money on the stump when we cut down the tree?
