The League was assisted in presenting the tea by the Council <*f Newberry Garden Clubs, the County Council of Home Demon stration Clubs, the Business and Professional Women’s club, the Newcomer’s club, the Prosperity Garden club and the Whitmire Biographical club. A festive air prevailed, both juside and out— The portico was decorated with garlands of cedar entwined with red ribbon over the doors, which held della robia wreaths. Cedar was also used on the portico railing and hemlock on the step railings. Just inside the hall a tall dec orated Christmas tree. The rear doors were decorated with cedar garlands dotted with satin balls and red velvet bows. The wall sconces also held gilded cedar and decorated ornaments and velvet bows. Tables thoughout the hall held arrangements carrying out the ‘ tea theme “Christmas Throughout The Home,” with special emphasis upon religious aspects. Several arrangements of Wise Men and the Madonna were included. Fea tured were a variety of decorated trees, candles, della robia wreaths, flower arrangements and manger scenes. A Christmas dinner table was set on a hand-embroidered cloth of linen and lace. Silver vases held red velvet roses with gold glitter on a red velvet cloth base. The table from which tea and cookies were served was covered with a white linen cloth and cen tered with an arrangement of red roses in a silver bowl, and silver candelabra. Pouring tea were Mrs. Emmett Nichols and Mrs. Fred Hayes. Members of the par ticipating organizations served as hostesses throughout the after noon. The guests were greeted by Mrs. Richard L.

The speeded up payment of $224.5 million in 1965 GI insur ance dividends ordered November 30 by John S. Gleason Jr., Admin istrator of Veterans Affairs, will bring $1,329,600 to the 27,437 GI policyholders in South Carolina shortly after the first of the year. Continuation of the accelerated dividend payments, as has been done three times in the past four years, was requested by Presid ent Johnson. Administrator Gleason advised Stanley Zuk, Manager of the Columbia VA Regional Office thal the VA hoped the entire payment could be started immediately af ter New Year’s Day and complet ed by January 10. The 1964 divi dend of $229 million was paid in record time—eight days. In 1963, the dividend checks were mailed out in 31 days for the 1961 divi dend, less than three months were required. In previous years and in 1962 the dividend payments had been made on the anniversary dates of the individual policies, Zuk said. The regular dividends are primal ily a return to the policyholders of part of their premium payments since the death rate among GI policyholders continues to be low er than the rate upon which the payments were established by law In all, the dividends will lie divided among 4,610,000 veterans, holders of World War I U. S. Government Life Insurance and World War II National Service Life Insurance. In South Carolina, a total of 25,781 NSLI policyholders will receive $1,218,000 to help on their post-holiday expenses. Some 1,- 656 of USGLI policyholders will receive a total of $111,600 in div idends. Korean Conflict veterans hold nonparticipating policies that do not provide regular annual divi dend payments. Mr. Zuk reminded policyholders that the preparing and mailing of dividend payments are automatic and require no correspondence from veterans or their families. In fact, such correspondence might delay the dividend distribution process, he said. Champion Papers to offer two scholarships CANTON, N.

The commercial emphasis being placed on Christmas is growing larger every year, and Christ is being relegated to a back-seat more and more. Each year the places of business begin their Christmas advertising earlier, and the fervor of buying becomes an obsession rather than one of rem- mebrance and love. But those consigning Christ to a lower place is not only found in the business district of the town. If you will give careful attention to the Christmas cards you re ceive you will note that more and more they are eliminating the story of the Christ-child. Take note of the yard and window dec orations and notice how’ few man ger scenes and portrayals of the Biblical account of the birth of Christ can be seen. No longer is Christmas an annual reminder to this world of what God has done through Christ, but rather it has become a time of drunken revelry and self-satisfaction. Recently a sidewalk reporter in a neighboring city asked people this question: “Which holiday, Thanksgiving or Christmas, has the most meaning to you and your family?” The ans wers recorded showed that four out of every six felt that Thanks giving was the more meaningful. But without Christ there would be RITZ Theatre THURSDAY, FRIDAY ALSO SATURDAY AT 7 p.m. James Franciscus, Suzanne Plesh- ette, Genevieve Page Youngblood Hawke SATURDAY AFTERNOON 3 SHOWS ONLY 1:00—2:43—4:26 Audie Murphy, Merry Anders The Quick Gun MONDAY AND TUESDAY Fred MacMurray, Polly Bergen, Arlene Rahl, Eli Wallach Kisses For My President New CmaSr Com Sport Coupe ’65 Corvair It’s a racier looking, quicker steer- And up to 180 hp available in tbo ing, flatter cornering, roomier riding new Corsas.

Duke, district forester, says, “Now is the time to order and plant forest seedlings.” Sup plies of most kinds are plentiful, but may not last as the planting season gets underway. Loblolly Pine, Yellow Poplar and Red Ced ar are among the species available. Better get your order in if you plan to set trees in 1964-65. Arbor Day is Friday Arbor Day is Friday. Henry Clay, extension ornamental Horti culturist of Clemson, lists the fol lowing hints for planting trees (shade or fruit): 1. Prepare hole large enough to permit spreading of the roots— no cramping or bending please. Prune bruised or broken roots. 2. Use topsoil "nth organic matter such as peat moss for re filling in around the roots. 3. Tamp soil in and around the roots. 4. Water well to drive out air pockets. 5. Stake or use guide wires to brace tree. 6. Mulch soil around tree. Farm Records Are Valuable Tools These last two weeks we’ve been gathering some information on costs, returns on various farm crops.
