A Message at Christmastime
Ckopiaie Tobey
history. The leaders of the freedom loving countries
of the world, are striving to open a pathway to
peace through a ven table forest of weapons designed
for total destruction. The minds of many are, wor
ried, frustrated and troubled. There is. as never
before, an earnest longing for peace in the hearts
of men.
Christmas gives ns a glimpse of the open road of
brotherly love over which all of us may travel. May
we. in our devotions, rejoice and give thanks for the
privilege of being free, with the, right of worship
ping God according to the dictates of our own con
science.
All the chaplains join me in the prayer that you
and each member of your family may enjoy the full
blessing of the Christmas Season and the happiness
of ths New Year. * <** , A ‘ T ° b,y

bags were left over. The
Chamber decided to donate
those “treats” to the Rotary
Empty Stocking Drive.
Covington Mayor Nat Turn
er reported on his recent trip
to Washington, D. C. as a mem
ber of the Power Commission
of the Georgia Municipal As
sociation.
President Clower informed
the assemblage that the wo
men’s clubs were not going to
decorate the Covington Public
Square this year for Christmas
as they have in the past. He
said that the C. of C. was not
notified in time to have deco
rations placed at the four corn
ers. Mayor Turner said that
the city would decorate a tree
or trees on the square if they
could secure the trees. He
stated that the city had some
lights and that if nothing else
is placed on the square they
would decorate a big tree which
would look similar to the big
tree a few years ago.
At the close of the meeting
the members applauded the
work accomplished during the
past year under President
Clower.
In taking over the reins of
the organization Mr. Thompson
stated that he would need the
help of many members and es
pecially his officers in the work
coming up in 1962.

Christmas! What a beautiful and
significant word. It turns our
thoughts to the new birth of pure
and noble ideas; of fellowship,
brotherly love, esteem and affection
for those near and dear to us. It
lifts our hearts to look forward
with confidence and trust to a better
means of universal expression of
those imperishable principles of
“Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward
Men.”
We are living in perhaps one of
the most critical decades in human

with a consistent “Trade at
Home” policy.
Pride and loyalty cannot be
measured in dollars and cents
—they are without price. But,
we firmly believe that every
dollar spent at home does
MAKE SENSE!
One of the great blessings of
the Christmas Season is the
spirit of giving, taught us by
the One Whose birthday we
commemorate. How sound His
philosophy of “It is more
blessed to give, than to re
ceive”, is. Exchanging gifts
with friends and loved ones
brings its own measure of de
light and happiness; but, in
evitably the deepest joy comes
from those things we share,
knowing they are gifts, and
not exchanges.
So, as we sally forth with
Christmas lists far larger than
our budgets, let’s not forget
the Empty Stocking Fund, now
in full swing. Again the local
Rotary Club is sponsoring this
splendid Drive to fill every
stocking that might otherwise
be empty, in Newton County,
this Christmas. Orchids to the
Rotarians for this unselfish,
humanitarian service to our
county!
Those who missed “Holly
wood’s Answer to Commu
nism” on WAGA-TV Channel
5 Monday evening missed one
of the most important messages
to the nation of our time. It
was a brilliant expose of the
insidious tactics of Commu
nism; of its inroads made pos
sible by our credibility and at-<
tempt to evaluate their motives
by our own standards; its
Godlessness; and goals of world
conquest.
Congressman Dr. Walter H
Judd, Senator Thomas J. Dodd,
Life Magazine Editor C. D.
Jackson, W. Cleon Skoussen of
the F. 8.1., and Dr. Fred
Schwartz were among the in
formed speakers.
Most of us, it was pointed
out cannot meet Communist
arguments because we have
not taken the time to study its
system; and paradoxically,
many of us cannot even define
our own system. They stressed
the fact that knowledge is pow
er, that America is the only
obstacle standing in the way
of world wide Communism;
and that every American citi
zen should assume the obliga
tion of informing himself and
help strengthen the national
policy of combatting it.
The cold war we find our
selves in is not a matter of
choice, but survival they said.
Every effort to call off the
cold war by our presidents has
been met by only one alterna
tive-surrender. The Berlin cri
ses is not just a matter of East
and West, but of civilization it
self, one speaker stated, for
with the communist concept of
atheism and barbarism we no
longer face material issues
alone — decisions resolve into
moral issues.

Christmas Safety
Suggestions
(From The National Board of Fire Underwriters)
(1)
When you select your Christmas tree this year, choose
a freshly-cut tree, with firmly-attached needles.
(2)
Keep the tree outdoors until just before Christmas. It
will stay fresher in the cold air, and once you have it up,
it will stay green longer. And keep it standing in a pail of
water.
(3)
When putting up the tree, set it in the coolest part of
the room, away from radiators, heaters, and the fireplace.
This will not only reduce the possibility of fire, but will keep
the tree from drying out.
(4)
It is a good plan to use a tree holder which has a little
bucket of water in which the trunk can rest during the holi
days. A tree usually “drinks” more water than you realize,
so keep water container filled at all times.
(5)
Fireproof Christmas tree decorations are the best. Use
decorations made of either glass, metal, or a fire-resistant
material.
(6)
Set up electric trains away from the tree. A spark from
the train could set the tree on fire.
(7)
Always use electric lights on the tree — never candles.
Lighting sets should be checked before being placed on
the tree, and those with frayed wiring should be discarded.
When buying new sets, look for the tag or label showing
listing by Underwriters’ Laboratories, Inc. A switch some
distance from the tree should be provided for turning the
tree lights on and off.
(8)
On Christmas morning, fold and put away any gift wrap
ping you intend to keep. Other gift wrappings should be
gathered up and thrown away promptly after presents are
opened.
(9)
Christmas tree lights should be turned off when the
family is away from home.
(10)
Inspect the Christmas tree from time to time to see
how dry it is. If needles near the lights have started to turn
brown, change the position of the lights.
(11)
When the needles start falling, take the tree down and
discard it outdoors.
(12)
Even if the tree remains fresh, make plans now to dis
mantle it the day after New Year’s, and restore the room
to its normal setting.
W. Cleon Skoussen and “You
Can Trust the Communists —
To Do What They Say” by Dr.
Schwartz, are splendid revela
tions of the Communist goal of
world conquest and the sub
versive means they employ to
ward this end.
Many flagrant blunders were
pointed out, such as allowing
the U. N. Charter itself to be
under the directive of the in
famous Alger Hiss, with the
result that jurisdiction over
problems o>f war was given to
the Security Council. Our lead-*
ers realized too late that we
had put one of the worst “fire
bugs” in history in the driver’s
seat of the very organization—
the Security Council — which
was set up to keep down con
flagration of war throughout
the world; leaving it in the in
effectual position of having a
unilateral, but no monolithic
veto.
This splendid program serves
as a challenge to thinking
Americans. May we accept the
challenge; acknowledge the
danger we face of becoming
slaves to an atheistic system,
and inform ourselves as to what
we can do to avert it.
We were glad to find Virgil
Piper recovering satisfactori
ly from surgery at Emory Uni
versity Hospital, where we
keep the vigil with our Sister
in the critical illness of our
brother, Belmont Dennis. It is
gratifying also to learn that
Mrs. Henry Anderson is mak
ing good progress after surgery
at Piedmont Hospital. Prayers
and good wishes of man,
friends bring cheer to these
patients, and many others who
are in our local hospital or
confined to their homes with
illness during the Christmas
season.
With only eleven days until
Christmas, time has stopped
flying, and started “jetting”!
Which gives us the gentle hin
that it is time to stop the chat
ter and start “SWEEPIN’
