CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
I am the Christinas spirit! 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

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.
Yours trulR
PINEY w 6 ods PETE.

Invites Visitors
Dr. Warner Fusselle, on behalf
of the Administration and Faculty
of Truett McConnell College, ex¬
tends an invitation to all White
Countiams to visit the campus Sun¬
day, December 20. The invitation
is to “See and Hear” about the
plans for advancement already in
motion and also the plans proposed
to be activated in the near future.
At a recent dinner meeting held
in the college cafeteria, several
local businessmen heard the story
of the Program of Advancement
presented by Dr. Fusselle and
wanted all White Countians to have
the opportunity to see and hear
about their college.
A steering committee composed
of Clyde Dixon, chairman; Clarence
Stamey, Tom Mauney, Lew Cooper,
and Jimmy Wilkins has been ap¬
pointed to encourage White County
citizens to attend, thtis meeting and
to develop enthusiasm.
A new marker, the president’s
home under construction land¬
scaping, a proposed library build¬
ing (approved by the Board of
Trustees), and a fountain to be
constructed by the Alumni Asso¬
ciation are the most recent evi¬
dences of progress being made at
Truett McConnell.
The meeting will be held at
3 p. m. in the College Auditoriu m
with Dr. Fusselle in charge, assis¬
ted by Dean Jack Holcomb and
members of the college faculty.
Following the meeting there will
be an informal social hour in the
gymnasium.

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.

“Another cup?” exclaimed his

"Office!” he shouted. “I thought
I was there!!’
