- By FRANCES NABERS
It was just five days before
Christmas and the shops weie
filled with eager, bustling crowds.
Snow was falling in large feath
ery flukes,’ causing shouts of glce
from some of the people crowding
the sidewalks.
Among the Christmas shoppers
were a man-and-his wife, the hus
band's expression plzinly showing
that he waklshored by this busi
ness of shopping and was only
going through .with it to Dplease
his “bette;—}lgl.’f,,.”; It seemed in
conceivablg..to ~ him that anyone
could enjoy pushing through
throngs of peorle and gabbing for
things: then taKking many minues
to decide ~thfb' momentous problem
of which Lp get, a pair of past.l
guest towels or an ebony vase or u
cut-glass bowl.. He followed her
meekly about as she looked at elec
tric coffee p('fts‘,"washable playing
cards, silk quilts, crystal lamps,
knitting boxes, cocktail = shakers,
perfume, gold | cigarette cases,
pigskin cuff links, brief. cases,
chiffon handkerchiefs—on and on
the list went, till Mr. Mann insis
ted that they call a halt. His wife
exclaimed “Oh! but we must get
something for the Browns, for you
know they always send us an ex
pensive gift and Tom and Mary
Jones will. expect something in
return for the house party to
which we were invited.”
“Oh, thunder!” growled Mr.
Mann frowning = with irritation—
“ This confounded Christmas giv
ing is a nuisance: people go out
and buy a lot of junk that nohody
cares a hz{ng for after they get it
and they‘hn‘fvé' to pretend to be
delighted with it and in returie
give something that isn’t wanted.
A lot of bunk if you ask me.”
His ‘wife. indignantly replied
that she \va‘_hf'a'.shamod of him for
not having the Christmas spirit
and continued to drag him along
the crowded cisles of department
stores. .
Finally they were ready lio
board the street car for home.
Riding trolley cars were an unus
ual experience for them, but only
they had chosen to travel down
town that way for the streets were
s 0 slippery that driving a car was
treacherous business.
Mr. Mann left his wife standing
in the safety zone while he went
into a cigars ftj’”’ for somethinzg
to smoke. 4\(:gz:iarl in shabby clothes
(which camoulflaged his youthfui
look) watched the richly clad gen
tlemzn as he pulled out a roll of
bills and extracted one in payment
of his cigar. . ¢
Mr. Mann_did not notice the fsl
low following him, till just as he
was waiting his turn to climb into
the street car, when he felt a hand
in his pocket. Quick as a flash a
policeman “?M{ZC,(‘ the would-Tic
thief su.yin‘g ;'fig you!! come with
me. You are under arrest.”
Mr. Mgznn gave one look at the
man and was struck by the piteous,
appealing expression in his face.
“Sav, officer, please don't arrest
the man. He didn’'t take anything
from me. I still have my wallet and
watch.”
The policeman insisted that he
was as guiltyx-as if he had taken
the MONCNmbiaaadse he had madz
the attempt.
“Well, I'm sure he's no ordina’y
thief, T insist that he may be al
lowed to try to explain his aection.
If he were an ordinary pick-pocket
he would have taken my belong
ings without being detected by you
or me.”
At his words this young man’s
face brigthened and he hastened
to say. “God bless you for an um
derstanding heart. This is the first
time I ever tried to steal and I
would not have done it this time
for myself. I have a sick wife at
home ‘and four smal - ohildreén.

Is There a Santa Claus?
4 danta aus: ‘
(An Editorial) |
Because some of the children in the grades are in l
doubt about whether there is a Santa Claus or not, the
staff takes pleasure in answering this question which |
was asked in the iollowing letter: |
Winterville, Ga., December 10, 1936. i
Dear Editor: |
I heard someone say that there is no Santa Claus. |
Is there really a Santa Claus? I hope he is real. '
BOBBY EUBANKS, Third Grade. |
Bobby, to you and all of your friends who are won- |
dering about the reality of Santa Claus—llet us advise |
vou not to believe the person who told you that there is
no Sania Claus, because he is wrong. Haven’t you seen I
Santa Claus with your own eyes? Aren’t you eager
when you awake on Christmas morning to find what |
Santa Claus has left you? I
This, then is proof that there is a Santa Claus, If |
there were no Santa Claus do you think you would even |
get anything at all? Of course he may not bring you |
everything you want, but you must think of all the I
other little boys and girls he has to visit. |
Think how dreary the world would be without a
Santa Claus! Why even mother and daddy would be
disappointed, and certainly the chilrens’ happiness
would be destroyed on the day that everybody should
be happy. |
We might as well not believe in fairies as not to be
lieve in Santa Claus. The same person who told you
there is no Santa Claus might laugh at the idea of |
fairies existing, but can he prove that there are not
fairies? No, ne can no more prove that there are no (
fairies than he can prove that there is not a Santa
Claus. He might tell you that no one has ever seen a
fairy. This may be true, but there are also many chil
dren who have never yet seen Santa Claus. None can |
conceive or imagine all the wonders that are unseen |
and unseedble in this world. We might even compare
Santa Claus to a fairy who visits you on Christmas Eve
night when you are fast asleep and leaves you toys to
find on Christmas morning (he will not leave them
until you are fast.asleep). .;. " % o : |
Santa Claus will live forever and ever. He will be
living a thousand years from now, and he will continue ‘
to gladden the hearts of children. - |

CHRISTMAS - SEASON
AND HOW [T SHOULD
BE COMMEMORATED
“Birthday of Christ” Is
Too Often Forgotten
By Many People
Christmas should be something
to rejoice over and still people
should think more about it than
they do. This is how 1 think it
should be interpreted. People
should not drink and do evil as
they do. They should not do this
at other times, but certainly not at
Christmas. This is the Birthday
of Christ and should not be made
bad by wrong doers. People should
thai k theic Savior. They shonid
not let this bear on their mindd
so that they cannot think of the'
wonderful love and recreation of
their fellow peorle, but they should
think of it more than to do wrongz.
Gifts should be exchanged to
make people happy and help each
other ways so as to make them
happy. People should not accep!
everything but should give some-—
“Be a taker but be a larger giv
er”. Games should be played Ly
children but not murderous things
that might lead them to do wrong
in later life. They can read some
stories that will not lead them <o
do wrong and they should read
the Bible some each day, whatever
kind they may be. Good things to
eat and toys and other things may
be gotten but not so extensive as
might cause them to go lacking in
the necessary things that are
needed during the following year.
People should be made happy by
gifts, but this should only help
them in securing the happiness of
thinking about and associating
with their fellow people and think
ing of our Savior as we cannot
be with Him only in thought.

NEW RESOLUTIONS
FOR /OUR SENIORS
Two weeks from next Friday,
the old year disappears and & new
one comes to us. This will be the
last half year of school work for
some of we seniors, and probably
others will go to school many
more years of their life.
Maybe we have never made
,new resolutions and abided by
them, but it still isn’t too late, for
if we can only make the last half
of our senior year in high school
profitable, we should be proud.
We should not allow old and un
wise habits to linger on forever.
iThlngs appl.ed to school life also
may correspond with other Kinds
of living. Every senior must re
solve to mase a better and more
successful go of the remainder of
the school year than they did the
first half. .
If the class will abide by the
following things, they should =zl
make a success of the following
half of school life:
(I)—Attend school daily, if ros
sible.
(2)—Never be a slacker, always
conie with a cheerful face to great
everyone.
(3)—Keep a good attitude in all
{ classes; it never pays to frown
!and complain.
(4-—Prepare your lessons every
!day. not only to have good daily
grades, but also to relieve the
strain when exam time comes
around.
(s)—Always be a good sport:
be ready to take or give.
(6)—Respect your teachers, no
matter what you may think and
!feel like doing.
! (7)—Alwzys cooperate with both
lstudents and teachers to promote
the welfare of the school.
(B)—Resolve to go out from this
scthool and do something worth
while for wsociety.
