As for your tree, it should
have an adequate water supply
in order that it may maintain
moisture in the leaves. The
water level should be checked
occasionally and some added
whenever it is low.
The foliage should also be

SANTA’S HELPERS
I don’t know when 1 have
looked forward to Christmas
any more and have enjoyed
getting ready for it any better.
One thing that put me in a
holiday mood was dropping in
on Bel ma and A. A. Tanner
recently. Going into their
house was like dropping in
Santa’s workshop. Instead of
little elves busy as beavers,
Belma was the busy one. She
was wrapping shoe boxes with
pretty red, white, and green
paper covered with gay Santas.
Most of the 250 boxes they
will send out to shut-ins had
already been wrapped by
Mildred Vines and Mrs. Vines,
which was a tremendous help
in their Christmas project.
Most women want every
thing spic and span for Christ
mas, and would scream in
horror at the thought of every
room of their house (except
the living room) being invaded
with packages and boxes, as is
the case with Mrs. Tanner.
But she is happy and loves
it!
They started out spreading
Christmas cheer to shut-ins in a
big way 10 years ago on their
own. Now they have help
through donations from other
Christian friends.
The project costs about
SI,OOO for gifts.
1 had some notes in my
purse, but among the other
things, can’t find them, so 1
may not remember everything
in the packages (each cost
about $4.00 wholesale), but
basically, they contain the fol
lowing: ladies’ box-nice set of
bath powder and cologne, hand
lotion, Kleenex, deodorant,
apple, orange and banana, and
religious material; men’s box
nice set of soap and after shave
lotion, two handkerchiefs,

Remember the longer a tree
stays up the more dangerous it
becomes.

the time the tree is up.

way for a Happy New Year.

lotion, deodorant, apple,

The goodies for the boxes
would have filled a pickup
truck to overflowing.
The Tanners will take the
packages to patients in the VA
hospitals, rest homes, hospitals,
private homes, and Mrs. Tanner
has already made the trip to
Central State Hospital.
It is certainly good to live in
a community where we have
people like this who CARE,
isn’t it?

DID THEMSELVES
PROUD
Two fairly recent new
comers to the county did
themselves proud recently in
entertaining the congregations
of the churches where their
husbands preach Mrs George
K. Preston and Mrs. Paul
Fowler. They held a tea at the
Summerville Presbyterian
Church on Sunday afternoon
and at Beersheba on Monday
evening. It was cold, cold,
Monday night, but a good
crowd gathered to enjoy the
fellowship and all the delicious
little dainties. Katherine, the
little Preston daughter, I
believe, enjoyed the party most
of all. She was enchanted with
the Christmas tree cookies and
was gathering and stacking
them in chairs at the close of
the party.
Little Kline was very grown
up at the party.
Also little Paul Fowler had a
ball, “feeding” his duck and
playing with the children. He is
a sweet little boy. One day I
visited him and his mother said
he needed a haircut. I volun
teered to give him one, and he
was real still and nice, but she
hasn’t mentioned him needing
17, and were honored with a
Golden Wedding Anniversary
party at the Pennville Taber
nacle Fellowship Hall, which
was beautifully decorated
throughout with gold mums
and yellow roses.
The table was overlaid with
a gold coverlet with a center
piece of yellow roses. The
beautiful anniversary cake was’
decorated with yellow rose
buds.
Hostesses were: Mrs. Ivron
Bennett, Mrs. Maggie Edwards,
Misses Ruby Fleming and
Beulah Teague.
Approximately 125 guests
called during the hours of 2-5
Sunday afternoon. Among the
many out-of-town guests were:
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Baggett of
Jamestown, Ala. and Mr. and
Mrs. Archie Gardner and girls
of Smyrna.
Many nice and useful gifts
were received by the honorees
including their silver and most
of their china patterns.
Mrs. Gardner plans to
display her gifts at her home,
28 Tenth St., Trion, and invites
their many friends and neigh
bors by to see them.-Jewie

Mrs. McClung
Is Feted
Mrs. Jackie McClung, the
former Joan Gentry, was feted
Saturday evening with a mis
cellaneous shower at the home
of Mrs. Barbara McClung. Co
hostess was Mrs. Diane Smith.
After several games were
played, delicious refreshments
of fresh cake, cookies, and
punch were served to
Mesdames Syble Williams,
Bessie Campbell, Etta Mc-
Clung, Winifred Smith, Thelma
Chastain and Barbara McClung.
Many useful gifts were re
ceived by the honoree.-Jewie

Pre-Christmas
Dinner Held
Mrs. Jean Tate and April
entertained members of their
family with a pre-Christmas
dinner at her home in Rome
Sunday. Those from Trion at
tending were: Mr. and Mrs.
Marvin Vineyard, Mr, and Mrs.
Billy Mull, Mr. and Mrs.
Ronnie Pettyjohn, Lisa and

My Christmas giving is
limited this year, but I did
treat myself to giving a few
gifts- one was a Santa mug to
Paul. 1 got my money’s worth.
He really enjoyed opening the
package, and then expressed
himself with glee, squeals of
joy when he pulled out the
mug. He ran in the kitchen and
came back with it full of
punch, so he put it to use
immediately.
Mr. Fowler’s mother is visit
ing them and is a charming
addition to the community
holiday season. She has been
on Dial-a-Prayer several times.
The number now is 734-7212.

HOLY SEASON
We never had many pictures
or religious artifacts around
when 1 was growing up. This
year I have especially enjoyed
pictures of the nativity, songs,
programs, stories. It has been
an especially holy time with
me. Os course, we don’t know
exactly when or where Jesus
was born, but the thing that
matters is that he was born.
It really excites me to think
that the people were looking
for a king in majesty and
splendor. And God came in the
form of a baby, a surprise to all
but a few like the Wise Men
and the shepherds.
Perhaps, you don’t realize
how much your Christmas
decorations, or the open Bible
and candle in your store
window, or the nativity scene
in your church yard, or the
cheery decorations inside your
house mean to someone. But
people do take note, as was
evidenced by a townslady
asking why they hadn’t put up
the manger scene at one of the
churches this year. “I miss it,”
she said. “I always look for
ward to the scene on the
church lawn.” (It has since
been erected.)
Many interesting programs,
cantatas, etc., have and are
being held in the churches.
* * *
MERRY CHRISTMAS
This is especially a season of
thanksgiving and joy with me
that my health has been re
stored. For your prayers, gifts
and other deeds of kindness
during the past year I am most
grateful.
And I wish each of you a
very joyful and Merry Christ
mas and a happy, happy New
Year.

Arsenic Found
In Quantity of
Chicken Livers
ATLANTA-The U. S. De
partment of Agriculture
(USDA) reported Dec. 12 that
organic arsenic compounds
have been found in the livers of
broiler-fryer chickens.
USDA’s Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service
(APHIS) says that 14 of 90
chicken flocks sampled con
tained illegal residues (above 1
part per million) in liver
samples. These samples are
from USDA’s objective phase
program, indicating a 15.5 per
cent violation level.
Ten of 590 port samples
also contained above-tolerance
levels of arsenic; these results
represent a continuing decline
in violation found in the
species. All sampling was done
since Jan. 1, 1972.
Organic arsenic compounds,
in amounts up to 90 grams per
ton of feed, are used in hog
and chicken rations to stimu
late growth and improve feed
conversion. All animals are
required to be withdrawn from
arsenic-containing feed for five
days before slaughter to give
the animals and birds time to
fully eliminate the feed addi
tive.
Reports on these violations
have been turned over to the
Food and Drug Administration
of the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare for in
vestigation. FDA has legal
authority over animal feed ad
ditions. Because of these
residue findings, USDA has
initiated an increased arsenic
testing program to help assure
that no residues reach con
sumers.
Lights Everywhere
Cars of the near future may
require new front, rear, and
side lighting systems, the De
partment of Transportation has
reported.
Front lights will have three
beams instead of the tradi
tional two, as well as steerable
headlamps to make turning
corners at night easier.
Other proposed innovations
are side turn signal lamps.
The public is invited to
comment on the new lighting
proposals by contacting the
National Highway Safety Ad
ministration no later than April
18,1973.
Yule Program Set
Wayside Baptist Church has
scheduled its annual Christmas
program at 7:30 p.m. Satur
