HOLIDAYS STARTED
BY LOCAL SCHOOLS
Christmas Exercises Held in
Many Instances Before
Dismissal.
Christ mas-N'NV Year holidays wore
start on today by the white and col
ored public schools of Henderson and
Vance county. Dismissal from classes
for the day marked the beginning of
the recess period. Work will be re
sumed on Thursday. January 2, the
day after New Year’s
In many instances appropriate
Christmas programs were given by
either the entire school in its audi
torium. or by individual classes.
Many children took groceries of one
kind or another and tinned them
over to their teachers for distribu
tion to under-privileged children,
though n some eases (.tie offerings by
the pupils were presented as a Christ
mas gift to the janitor of the school
for his family.
One of the events of the final week
before Christmas was the high school
freshman class play given Wednes
day evening at Central school under
the direction of Miss Cordle, of the
high school faculty.
No specific lessons were assigned
to students today for work during
the holidays. They were left free to
enjoy the time out of school for
Christmas, without the necessity of
concentrating on their studies.
Many teachers who live away from
Henderson left here today or will go
tomorrow to their homes in various
parts of this and adjoining states.
Most of those who reside in Hender
son will spend their holiday at home.

Will this scene be depicted in Henderson Christmas Morning
10 Opportunities Are Left
With Seven Families Taken
Ten of the Christmas Opportunities
of needy families were left, this after
noon .after seven had fern taken since \
the last report, on Thursday. It was!
one of the largest single days since
the otises were presented for the Sal- I
vation Army through the Daily Dis-j
patch a week ago.
The seven additional Opportunity ,
provided for brought the total to 25 ]
in all for the week. A total of 35 have !
been presented, and the ten are left, j
Tn many instances the families j
presented are largely dependent on I
this form of generosity to make ]
Christmas real and genuine. There ;
are many who are anxious that there \
be no empty stockings in Henderson ]
Christmas morning. Hut there will he j
unless more fortunate families and j
indiviudals respond to the calls that I
are being made.
In addition to the Opportunities j
bring presented through the Daily
Dispatch, several oilier organi/.a.lions |
are looking after needy families in |
the city and vicinity. They have com
pared records, however, with a view
to eliminating all duplications, .. u !
that some families will not get two
or three baskets and some none at l
all. Every effort is being made to sec i
to it that, provision is made for every
case that, is genuinely worthy. Ad- ,
jutant and Mrs. Josephine Willett, in
' charge cf the local Salvation Army!
corps, vouch for the merits of the
I eases they are offering, and each one !
j has been personally investigated by j
! Mrs. Willett, she said.
Hefow are given the names of the j
i individuals or groups that provided i
! for the seven families taken since j
Thursday. Given also are the ten j
! Opportunities remaining. Those do-!
j siring to have a hand in this work
, are urged to eommuniente immediate
ly with the Salvation Army officials,!
the telephone being 502.

CHRISTMAS MAILS
BECOMING HEAVIER
Approach of Christmas Sees
Great Quantities of Par
cels, Letters.
Christmas mails were becoming
heavier and heavier at tho post of
fice here today as Christmas ap
proached nearer.
Greeting cards have started com
ing In In groat volume, as well as
those that are being mailed away.
Many have destinations in the city,
and will be disposed of with a couple
of handlings.
T ho volume of packages and par
cels was also very heavy. Most of this
type of mailing is out-going, and the
peak is expected to be reached prob
ably tomorrow. The peak of the in
coming parcel mail will hardly be
reached before Monday, it is bo
lieved.
There were no statistics or esti
mates as to the comparison of the
volume this year with that for 19M.
Hut the demand for stamps was
enormous, and for at least this one
season of the year the one and a half
rent, stamp, hearing a likeness of (he
late President Harding, is highly pop
ular. It will carry the ordinary pop
ular greeting card anywhere if un
sealed and if there is no writing in
side other than the signature of tlo
se! id or.
Fxt.ra h'dp has already been added
at the post office to handle the rush
of mailing with the greatest possible
speed, both outgoing and incoming
mails. I«ong lines of people wait at
the windows to have their packages
weighed and stamped or to buy
stamps foi their greeting cards.
The office is hoping to boost its
volume to the point whore the Hen
derson office will return to the fi*st
class rating next year.
Flu Is Prevalent
With Many People
111 at Christmas
Influenza, has become very pre
valent here during the past few days
or a. week, so much so that indica
tions now are that many persons are
likely to celebrate Christmas in their
beds, or at least, in their homes. A
larg"' number are understood to bo
confined to beds now.
There have been no recent deaths
directly attributable to the disease,
but there have been a number of
pneumonia, fatalities here this fall,
with the malady said by some to oe
in a more virulent form than usual.
Committee To Meet
The committee on emancipation will
meet this evening at 7:3(1 o’clock at

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20,1935
The only type of admission lhat will
be honored at the meeting is a pound,
of groceries of some kind.
Children and adults will be admitted
on that basis, and only if they bring
some food to be turned over to the
Salvation Army for distribution to
needy families next week at Christ
mas time.
General Manager S. S. Stevenson,
of the theatre, is giving this perform
ance for this benefit, as has been his
custom for a number of years. He
invites all children, as well as oth
ers, to attend and enjoy the picture
that will be offered, featuring Kay
Francis and George Brent in "The
Goose and the Gander.” The picture
is highly rated, and is on the reg
ular program of the theatre as well
as being shown for this benefit per
formance.
In other years good crowds have
attended these performances, though
last year that was not true. Children
in the schools were notified today of
the benefit performance and acqualt
ed with the plan, and it is expected
that a large audience will gather for
the occasion. All of the foodstuff
brought in will be distributed by tho
Salvation Army to needy families in
the city or vicinity.
