I enter into the home of poverty, causing pale faced children to open their eyes wide in pleased wonder. I cause the miser’is clutched hand to relax, and thus paint a bright spot on his soul. I cause the aged to renew their youth and to laugh in the old, glad way. I keep romance alive in the heart of childhood, and brighten with dreams woven of magic. 1 cause eager feet to climb dark stairways with filled baskets, leav¬ ing behind hearts amazed at the goodness of the world. I cause the prodigal to pause a moment on his wild, wasteful way, and send to some anxious loved one some little token that releases glad tears which wash away the hard lines of sorrow. I enter dark prison cells, re¬ minding scarred manhood of what might have been, and pointing forward to good days yet to be. I come softly into the still white home of pain, and lips that are too weak to speak — just tremble in silent, thousand eloquent Wajv gratitude. f the In a cause fa<$ -ofGod, and'for rWe mo fflent, iM forget TOtM ffie thffigf m Pfdjffi the Christmas spirit!

PINEY WOODS Pete Says: DEAR MISTER EDITOR: The reapportiorfment hearing* indicate the Georgia House will not be .cut in membership, but like¬ ly will be increased to permit most of the smaller county boys to keep their seats. It would be a smart move on the part of the larger and medium¬ sized counties, it seems to me, to go along with the idea if the rule of the federal courts requiring re¬ apportionment strictly on a popu¬ lation basis is adhered to. If this were done, the bigger House could be given’ a' trial run. If it didn’t work it could then' be reduced in the following session, as the counties containing a ma¬ jority of the population would have the votes to get the job done — which thgy do not njovif have.

BBS $3.61 Per Tear Dixon Named Bonds Chairman ATLANTA — W. C. Dixon, prom¬ inent banker and civic leader of Cleveland, has been appointed UJS. Savings Bonds Chairman for White County. This appointment was made by Secretary of the Treasury Douglas Dillion. Mr. Dixon succeeds Mr. C. E, Head, Cleveland postmaster, who has served with distinction in this volunteer, patriotic capacity since November 1944. In sending Secretary Dillon’s ap¬ pointment certificate to Mr. Dixon, William R. Bowdoin State chair¬ man for Georgia’s Savings Bonds Committee, said he was sure Mr. Dixon would enjoy encouraging White County residents to invest a part of their savings in U. S. Savings Bonds. In accepting this appointment, Mr. Dixon stated “In these critical times, the sale of Savings Bonds and stamps affording young and old alike an opportunity to help their country as they help them¬ selves. By investing in Savings Bonds wo strengthen the founda¬ tions of our national economy, up¬ on which rests our efforts to pre¬ serve the peace and promote the general welfare of all people.” Particularly he commended the bankers of the 9th District for the very substantial suport they give the program in issuing Savings Bonds without cost either to the purchaser or to the Treasury. Commenting on the favorable re¬ turn to owners of both the well known ‘E” Bond and the increas¬ ingly popular ‘H’ Bond, Mr. Dixon points out that not only individuals but groups, businesses, clubs, etc., are now eligible as purchasers. The citizens of White County placed approximately $40,000 of their savings in Series E and H Bonds during the first ten months of 1964. This consistent backing has been a major factor in build¬ ing an outstanding record for the Ninth District. Taxi Dancers' Bare-ing Fee j 4' TAEPEI, (AP) — The less they display, the more you pay.
