The Gth prade home room sec tion of Mrs. Sarah Rucker at Boundary Street school published a class newspaper the last two weeks before school was out. The pa per contains items of interest about classmates, teachers, etc. The latest issue contained an edi torial, “What Is Christmas?” written by one of the paper’s edi tors, without help from teacher or parents. It follows: WHAT IS CHRISTMAS? By Connie Sanders Is Christmas a stack of presents wrapped in holiday paper ? Or is it Santa Claus or the day you have an extra good dinner? No, it isn’t only that. Christmas is a time to be gay, but don’t overlook the real meaning of it. At Christmas, we think of Christ’s birth. Why did He come to earth ! He came to save us from our sins. Let us respect Christmas because if we do not look at it the right way, we will forget its true mean ing. WERE THANKFUL Because Christmas is a season when one counts his blessings and is thankful, it seems a natural time of the year to thank YOU, our friends, for our pleasant as sociations with you in the year which is fast coming to a close. It has been a year of happiness, of discouragement, of hope. It will go down in history as the year in which Americans either made their choice to become slaves of a government, or when they were awakened enough to keep up a fight for freedom. Only the next few years will yield the answer. Locally, it has been a good year for the most part with the an nouncement of a new industry to locate near the city, improvements in city services, planning of new buildings for the College, and many other things. On the sadder side, Newberry has lost many of its prominent citizens during the year. Personally, I wish to thank you for the encouragement and sup port you have given me during the year ... all year long, but especially on two projects. You responded magnificently to my appeals for restoration of the Boundary Street Bell, and every time I pass by it, I think again of the generosity of Newberrians interested in a common cause. The other project was in our campaign to elect Barry Goldwater. Again the citizens of Newberry respond ed to what they believed was a choice between socialism and freedom and with an overwhelm ing vote, they chose freedom.

Steve also gave a brief report on the Dis trict 9 Key Club conference held recently in Greenville, and urged the Kiwanians to “continue the fine work you are doing.” Two piano slections were rendered by Willie Gilfilian. In his retiring remarks, Mr. Kneece said “it has been a joy and a pleasure, one of the high lights of my life” to serve as Kiwanis president. He thanked the members for their cooperation and commended the work done by the secretary Bobby Underwood. “I don't think you’ve really been a Kiw'anian until you have served as secretary,” he said. He men tioned some of the projects of the Kiwanis club, stating that one of the most important was the $500 scholarship to Newberry College. He thanked those who had sold and bought canay to make this scholarship possible.

For any one employee, the minimum gift matched in any year will he $10 per institution, and the total of gifts to all institutions, $1,000. When the announcement of the program was made, the trustees of the Foundation said it was adopted “in recognition of the substantial benefit which accrues from individual, corporate and charitable foundation financial support of colleges and universi ties.” The program is retroactive to his education at the Bailey Mil itary Institute and was a grad- November 15, 1963. uatc- of Clemson College in the class of 1922.

The Sun will publish Bab- son’s Business and Financial Fore cast for 1965 in next week’s issue. This Babson Forecast will con- la.n pivdictions covering such im- !>(i! - !aiit top’es as business volume, impact of excise-tax cuts, devel- piid’its squeeze, wai in th.- hast, Britain's pi credit problems, ' th nuclear march. Fum-pi i< prospects, s.lver coinage crisi-, ami inflation vs. deflation. American business has no more inspiring personality than Roger W. Babson, internationally-known business commentator and invest ment adviser. An outstanding fea- ture of his philosophy has been his lifelong insistence on the import ance of both religion and advertis ing in business. Born and reared in an old-fash ioned atmosphere of hard work and hustle on a farm in Glouces ter, Mr Babson went to the Mass achusetts Institute of Technology. Upon graduating, he turned in stinctively to financial and busi ness activities in which his father was engaged. His exertions, however, under mined his health; he contracted tuberculosis and he was sent West “as good as dead”! It was while he was convalescing from this dread malady that he worked out some of the possibilities and prob lems of business forecasting. His weekly releases are used by over 400 newspapers and his financial reports by 20,000 corporations and estates. His research work is car ried on by a large stair of experts. Mr. Babson founded Babson In stitute for Men; and, in co-opera tion with the late Mrs. Babson, developed Webber College for women — both nationally-known educational institutions. Here young men and women may con centrate on the fundamentals of honest and efficient business ad ministration. Later, he founded a Midwest Institute of Business ad ministration, located in Eureka, Kansas, the center of the United States. He has been active also in the establishment of other med iums ef service to the public, such as the Gravity Research Founda tion, located at New Poston, New Hampshire. Mr. Babson has probably done more than any other man to cre ate among his millions of news paper readers an interest in sim ple business problems, and to instill a broader vision in business men, enabling them to meet the ups a.’d downs of the business cycle. Movings... Rev. and Mrs. J. Anderson Bass Jr. and family have moved to the new First Baptist Church par sonage on Douglas street. Mr. and Mrs. Shealy Counts are making their home at 2610 Harrington street. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Coats have moved to 700 Pope street. Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Koon are residing at 597 Daisy street. ARE YOU LISTENING? Please allow me to begin this week with a personal wish to each of our readers for a most joyous holiday. It is our prayer that you will feel the presence of the Lord more during these days than ever before in your life. Let me express to you my thanks for reading this column and say that it is my sin cere wish that it will bring you to a closer walk with Jesus Christ. In the early chapters of the Bible we are led to read where God created the heavens and the earth. Continuing, w.i learn how he created every living animal, and as an act to crown his crea tion, ne put man on his earth to oversee that which he had made. During the days to follow, God walked on the earth in search of the man that he had created. This was God’s first walk upon the earth. God’s second walk on earth came at the time when he sent his son, Jesus Christ, to live among men. At that time God sent his son to remove all of the harm, the evil, the sin of the world, and to make himself known to all men. The greatest news ever received was: “Fear not, unto you is born this day a Saviour.” Today man lives in fear of this God simply because of the knowledge of the sin in his own life. But with the coming of the son of God within your own ( heart the cause of your fear and guilt will be removed. Jesus came for no other purpose than to for give you of your sins. This is a wonderful truth, but there is still one even more wonderful. It will come about during God’s third walk on earth. There will come a day when ev ery eye shall see the Christchild of Bethlehem on his throne and then the angels will sing: “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to re ceive power, and riches, and wis dom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.” (Revelation 5:11-12). Are you listening? ♦ $2.00 Per Year THIS BEAUTIFUL SCENE depicting Madonna and Child was arranged by Mrs. Hal Kohn, Sr., and is one of the many lovely Christmas decorations which adorn the Kohn home on Johnstone street. Mrs. Kohn, whose artistic talents are well-known, has used a gold and white theme throughout her Christmas decora tions, with the exception of a miniature silver Christmas tree which centers the grand piano in her music room.

The postmaster stated that based on past exper ience when Christmas fell on a Friday, the requirements for pos tal service on the next day were minimized and, therefore, the De partment has authorized the sus pension of some services on Dec ember 26th. “Rural delivery service will be maintained and the distribution of incoming and outgoing mail will be kept current,” Mr. Moose said. “Mail will be distributed to post office boxes; special delivery mail, perishable articles and gift par cels will be delivered,” he contin ued. “Scheduled collections and dispatches of outgoing mail will be made,” the postmaster said. Under services suspended Mr. Moose said that all windows at the office will be closed and there will be no deliveries by city car riers. He did say, however, that the lobby stamp dispenser will be stocked with four and five cent stamps for use of persons wishing to mail articles. A scale for the weighing of mail matter is also available in the lobby of the office. The postmaster urged patrons who are planning on mailing late gift parcels, cards or letters and might not expect them to arrive before December 26 to consider special delivery service on these articles. Normal postal service will re sume on Monday, December 28th. The postmaster reminded that only holiday service would again be provided on January 1.
