respect trees, by witnessing the
dedication of the tree and know
ing its history.”
The beautifully-formed, 10-foot
tall cedar tree on the Malcom lawn
has a history all its own. From a
seedling the size of “a large knit
ting needle” to its present stature
is the story of its growth, but
)eight years of tenderest care by
Mr. Malecom better explain its pre
sent -beauty. 1
‘ The tiny seedling was given to
Mr, Malcom by a friend, Herbert
Carruth, eight years ago, Mrs.
Malcom explained. Mr., Malcom
|gave it the best care possible,
{nursing the frail bit of greenery
}in an old oil can for better than a
iyear. Then, when the Malcoms
{built their present home, the tree
was transplanted in the yard.
‘ Rapid Growth
‘ Rapid growth from the time of
its transplanting turned the tree
into a healthy, spreading ever
lgreen. Mr. Malcom has cared for
!the tree as though it were a hu
| man being, and as far as the Mal
- coms know, a limb has never been
1 broken on the tree, so carefully
have they protected it from the
| carlessness of people.
' This year Mr. Malcom hit upon
an idea by which the tree might
'be honored and at the same time,
a lesson might be taught to little
[ children who will be present
Christmas morning at 10 o’clock.
The cedar will be dedicated then
to little Miss Rosemary Malcom,
*3-months-cld daughier -of Mr.
jand Mrs. D. D. Malcom-of Green
. ville,’S. C., and .to ‘“all-. .future
_grandchildren of the Guy Mal
-Icoms.”
Immortal “Tree”
Dr. J. C. Wilkinson, pastor of
the First Baptist Church here,
will officiate at the dedication
ceremony, and as a fitting sym
bol of all trees, wili read Joyce
Kilmer’s immortal poem, “Trees.”
Miss Gloria Malcom will play
Christmas carols on her accor
dion as the musical portion of the
brief cerefnony.
Mr. and Mrs., Malcom invite all
their friends and neighbors to
the dedication, and especially
want tol invite the children, “in
hopes that the ' czremony will
light the path of “some child
through the years.” .
~ Mr. Malcom, who fostered the
idea, plans to add a wooden pla
que to the tree each year that a
grandchild is born in the family.
Only one plaque adorns the tree
this Christmas—for little Rose
mary — but the Malcoms hope
that many more will be added
later.

To Regular Meeting Of WCTU |
Mrs., Ed B. Martin brought a
Christmas message to the mem
bers of the Woman’s Christmas
Temperance Urion at their reg
ular meeting at the First Metho
dist Church, Friday afternoon.
“Carols can be a great help to
ward bringing the different de
nominations closer together,” Mrs.
Martin commented. Then she said,
“The Episcopalians gave us, ‘O
Little Town of Bethlehem'; the
Catholics gave us ‘Gloria In Ex
celsis’ and ‘Silent Night'.”
“Many of the great things in
life start in a small way, — Jesus
Christ was a baby,” she reminded
and added that our religion is
unique because of the fact that
we worship a baby. All other re
ligious worship an adult,
Mrs. Max Hubert, the president,
