THE PARADE
There was nothing wrong
with the Christmas parade
here last Wednesday. It was a
beautiful parade — beautiful
floats, beautiful girls, fine mus
ic from marching bands. But
what was wrong with the peo
ple ?
Each year I come home from
the parade more and more dis
tressed. There is no cheering,
no excitement, no applause.
There was hardly a murmur,
even from the little tots, when
Santa came by waving to the
crowd.
I thought to give a little
applause to one of the bands
marching by, and perhaps start
others doing the same. My ef
forts resulted in stares which
seemed to say, "what kind of
a nut are you?”
Really, what HAS happened
to people? The crowds acted as
though some sort of funeral
procession, instead of a parade,
was passing by. And e^p'T.aily,
what lias happened to the
youngster.^'’ Are they given so
much all year 1 ong that
Christmas no longer means
anything to them? Have we,
as parents, spoiled them so that
they have notning to I >ok for
ward to'.’
A lot of hard work g.>o - into
producing a pa-ade. A lot of
people stand around chilled to
the hone, waiting to do their
part to make trie parade a
success. But when the units
come by, ail they get are the
curious stares of the .'dent on
lookers.
1 honestly believe .!' Iwere
a "downtown” merchant I’d
be m favor of doing away with
the parade. I believe I’d hire a
good hand to play happy music
dur.ng the shopping hours—or
come up with something that
would feat the public m a bet
ter mood. It s going to take nie
a week or so, I’m afraid, to get
ove: the parade blues” be
fore 1 can get into any sort of
i;oiiday shopping mood.
Again, let ire- stress, 1 do
not criticize the parade itself.
It was as nice a- any we have
wen; the Rotary Club did itscil

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at the Community Hall. Among the
members who helped decorate the building for the December 6th Christmas Tea
and for other holiday occasions were, from left, Prof. F. Scott Elliott, Mrs. Fred
Hayes, Mrs. William Garlington and Mrs. Steve C. Griffith, Sr. (Sunphoto.)

the Whitmire unit) now has a

10 warrant ofieers and 404 en

BLAND SPEAKS
AT ACADEMY
Last Friday morning the
chapel exercises at Newberry
Academy were conducted by
Rev. Edgar L. Bland, Pastor of
the Newberry Associate Re
formed Presbyterian church.
Miss Mary Margaret Parr, stu
dent in the Academy and a
member of has congregation
introduced the speaker.
Using the story of the Wise
Men, Mr. Bland pointed out
in a very fine way how the
young people might give such
gifts as they have to the
Lord.
