I Notes on I
^Chiropractic
i By Dr. Henry L. Foley
giMMMMMIIMMMMMMMMMMMMM
All functions of the body are
directed and controlled through
the nervous system that stems
from the brain and spinal cord.
All nerve trunks
of the body
branch off
fj^m the spinal
cord and exit
fnrough open
ings between
the vertebrae.
This fact indi
cates that the
spine is the key
to the nervous
system because
it is the distributing center for
all the nerves of the body.
Since the nervous system is
the controlling factor relative 'to
health and function, it is im
portant that nerve channels re
main clear, or their function
will be distributed, resistance
lowered and health impaired.
Chiropractors maintain that
falls and accidents strain the
spine and cause minor displace
ments of vertebrae that lock out
of place, causing nerve inter
ference, which later leads to
health problems.

N. Jonesboro PTA
Explores the True
Christmas Spirit
The theme of the North
Jonesboro Elementary School
PTA program for the month of
December was “The True Spirit
of Christmas”.
Under the direction of Mrs.
E. L. Shay each child took part
in the program. Mrs. Bob
Appleby accompanied the chil
dren’s carols on the piano.
The devotional, “Other Peo
ple’s Christmases”, was brought
by Rose Chapman. Jack Holder
read from the scripture, Isaiah
9:6-7.
Each grade represented a dif
ferent country and brought out
their customs of dress, how they
celebrate Christmas and what
the country gave to the tradi
tional way we here in the
United States celebrate our
Christmas.
The first and second grades
represented Germany. They
sang the carols, “Away in a
Manger”, “Silent Night” and “O
b Cojjaf< f .iattle -Children”. The
story^f Ktis Kringle was told.
They brought out the fact that
Germany gave us the custom of
decorating the tree and hanging
the Christmas wreath.
The third grades represented
France and sang the carols.
“The Friendly Beasts” and “In
fant So Gentle”. France gave us
the tradition of the “Criche” or
Nativity Scene.
The fourth grades represented
Spain and sang, “There is No
Cradle Ready” and “Fum, Fum,
Fum”. Spain emphasized the
fact that during the Christmas
season good deeds must be done
for others. From them we de
rive the custom of drawing
names. In their country names
were placed in an “Urn of Fate”
from which everyone drew a
name. It was the custom that
■ you were to be a good friend to
the person whose name you re
ceived.

A banquet for the Faculty and
the Executive PTA, G. W. North
cutt School, was held at the
school dining hall last Wednes
day night. Some 40 were pres
ent. A wonderful job of deco
rating was done by teacher
Mrs. May Carson with tables
which were a conversation piece.
The Young Married Adult
Class of Live Oak Baptist
Church held a Christmas party
at the home of the Doug
Mathises last Saturday night.
About 15 folks attended and
had a wonderful time.
A belated Thanksgiving Day
was held at Mrs. Elizabeth
Smith’s home on W. Maine on
Sunday, Dec. 9. The real day
found Mrs. Smith in the hos
pital, now she is home and so
much better that they have still
more to be thankful for.
Sincere sympathy goes to Mrs.
Grady Boatwright and family
horses and camels of the wise
men could eat. In the morning
the straw and hay were gone
and gifts were in the shoes.
From this we feel our custom
of leaving food for Santa and
hanging the Christmas stocking
was derived.
The fifth grades represented
our own country—the United
States. They sang, “It Came
Upon a Midnight Clear” and
“Rise Up Shepherd and Follow”.
At one time in the New England
States it was against the law to
celebrate Christmas in any way.
In 1659 a law was passed in
Massachusetts against this cele
bration. It was not repealed
until 1861. Christmas did not be
come a legal national holiday
in our country until the middle
of the Nineteenth Century. The
use of the poinsettia as the
Christmas flower and deco
rating outside of the homes are
traditions of the United States.
The sixth grades represented
Poland and sang, “Stars are
Gleaming” and “Midst the Deep
and Silent”. Poland gave us no
particular traditions. They do
practice the custom of caroling
and having the food blessed by
the Priest for the Christmas
Eve Feasting. This feasting be
gins as soon as the stars appear.
Some children believe that the
Good Stars bring their Christ
mas trees. In their country, too,
the Wisemen distribute gifts.
The seventh grades repre
sented England and sang the
carols, “Hark the Herald Angels
Sing”, “What Child is This”, and
“We Wish You a Merry Christ
mas”. A great many of the
customs we use came directly to
us from England. The use of
holly and ivy is an English
custom. Holly was a Druid
custom which in early days was
believed to give protection
against witches. It was sup
posed to have possessed protec
tive powers. Ivy symbolized the
Holy spot where God had set
foot on earth. Eventually the
holly wreath with its thornsand
red berries came to represent
the crown of thorns worn by
Jesus.
Mince Pie came to us from
England. It represented the
gifts of the wisemen because it
was supposed to have been
made of the choicest things
from the East. Caroling is a
lovely English tradition that we
use today. To England we also
owe the lovely custom of
sending Christmas cards.
The carols “Joy to the World”,
“Deck the Hall” and “O Come
All Ye Faithful” were sung by
the audience.
The program was beautifully
presented and enjoyed very
much by everyone present.
on the sudden death of husband
and father. Mr. Boatwright died
of a heart attack in Illinois,
after driving a trailer truck
from Florida, just three hours
after he had talked with his
wife over the telephone at his
journey’s end.
Mrs. Janice Stubbs Berry died
last week. Sincere sympathy is
extended her parents and the
family.
Bobby Mason of Phillips Circle
is at Georgia Baptist Hospital.
He is making good progress
after surgery last Friday.
Mrs. Woodrow Davis of Rain
water Road is home after sur
gery at an Atlanta hospital. She
is doing much better now, and
hopes to maintain the improve
ment.
Mrs. Ruby Cooke of Warleck
Avenue is in the hospital and
expected to have surgery this
Monday.
