Today'* DuHm Ar· Tomorrow's Riehes
Eveything we do today will be re
flected in the mirror· that are the
pages of history. Our ehame and
pride alike will show there. For that
reason we have a duty to future
generations.
Even as we provide for our children
and their growth, so must we provide
for their children and grandchildren.
The foundation for tomorrow's history
is today's future.
Our people realize — more and
more every day — the impending
doom of what was a one-crop agricul
ture-based economy. Even here in one
of the richest farming areas in our
country, more and more people leave
the farms in seek of work in the
towns ahd cities which surround us.
As those people leave us, they take
with them whatever income they
have, and the whole community is
that much poorer.
The answer to that problem is ob
viouS: Provide jobs. And jobs on a
mask scale in our modern society
means industry.
The very word, "industry", carries
with it the image of technology,
knowledge — education. >
And education is an area in which
we are painfully lacking. The words
qf Hubert G. Gibson, principal of the
Loris High School and head of the
i^dult Education Center there, "The
future of Loris as an adult education
center for this area of the state,"
giveb us great hope.
The start is small, 55 students. But
that is more than was expected for
the first year. And that, too, gives us
Hope. j
We take that as a symbol to the
awakening of the rural folk in this
'area, to the problems which confront
them. The adult students who are
driving for high school diplomas were
expected. The others, the ones taking
courses simply to increas their know
ledge, are a "bonusw — they are the
ones who add the zest and life to
knowledge. Both groups are to be
congratulated for their far-sighted
ness.
The South in general is emerging
as an industrial giant, whose potential
will not be realized for years to come,
but the prospect thrlls even the
causal observer.
Our area is suited to light industry.
We have the land on which factories
can be built. We have the people to
man the machines. Our people and
people like them throughout the
South are the hope of the nation's
industry.
Here industry is not bled by govern
ment as it is in the North. Here the
labor unions have not sunk in their
tallons so industry is forced to play
the games the labor leaders call. Here
industry still has the freedom to grow
and to prosper as it chooses.
That is a part of the proud heritage
of the South.
And, that growth and prosperity is
ours, if we but persevere.
We must guard that freedom to
grow, nurse it and nourish it. We must
support the educational programs in
the area and see to it that they are
the very best we can get. We must
not allow the strangling, tenticles of
the labor unions to encircle us and
choke off our growth.
These things are just a part of the
duty we owe to future generations.
So far things look good. The indus
try in Loris and Tabor City reports
our people are willing and able work
ers who reach production quickly and
learn their jobs thoroughly. Happy
industry attracts industry which is
not so happy with its lot in other parts
of the country. >
Let's keep it that way.

Lett We Forget — And Ignore:
The preparations for another
C.hrietmas season are all around us.
The bright lights, the festive decora
tions and the hustle of the people in
the fever of last minute gift-buying
are all a part of the warmth of the
happiest time of the year.
But, as the tempo picks up, let us
reflect for a moment on the history
of this celebration. It is a birthday.
The Prince of Peace »prophet,
leader, Savior, our carefully preserv
ed history tells us, was born in a
manger so that man might be saved
from his weak, sinful failings.
Many things of Christmas — home
made toys and gifte, candlelighted
trees gay with strings of popcorn and
paper ornaments — have become
things of the past. We live in an era
of vast material abundance. But the
weight of that abundance can bury
our spiritual wealth.
Γ"
Charity,' faith, kindliness, courageT*
strength in the face of adversity —
these are among the qualities for
which Christmas in its magnificent
symbolism, stands. These, however,
are qualities which are far too rare
in a world torn with jealousies and
troubles and marred with cynicism
and selfishness.
But, in the midst of all this, take a
moment to recall the meaning of
Christmas.
"Peace on earth, good will toward
men." These magnificent old words
wil Ibe spoken once more, and the
great old music will sound, and a
centuries old birthday story will be
told. .ι
We have not realized the hope for
peace on earth, but each of us — at
Christmas — should resolve to do
whatever he can to make it come true.

"Moonlighting," a word
coined to describe workers
holding down two jobs, seems
to be giving away to a new
term — "Sunlighting" — at
least, that seems to be the
story in our nation's capital.
With the Bobby Baker sex.

dominating the nation's
headlines, a little bit of spice
seems to have gotton buried
in the nation's news media.
The question Washington

asking around the Capital
was:
What's eating our post
men?

But when you don't gel
your mail in Washington, it
maybe that your postman got

Turkey Hunt
Governor Terry Sanforg
talked turkey last week.
He asked Tar Heel farmers
to help him find the fattest
and fanciest turkey in North
Carolina.
Now our distinguished
Governor is not seeking a
bird to don the Christmas
table at the Governor's Man
sion as some might suppose,
He is seeking heavyweight
champion turkey to strut
North Carolina's colors at the
National Turkey Show in
Louisville, Kentucky Janu
ary 6-10.
i — ~
He said the rules for the
turkey contest are simple:
The turkey may be of any
breed, sex or age.
The one restriction is con
sidering weight, the Govern
or noted, is that contest of
ficials will not countenance
feeding turkeys buckshot.

CHRISTMAS: "And it came to pass in those days, that there
went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world
should be taxed . . . And all went to be taxed, every one into
his own city."
Thus, begins the Christmas Story, according to St. Luke.
The whole world was in bondage. All of the world was
to be taxed to fill the treasury of a despot. He did not send
his centurions to collect the taxes. He arrogantly ordered the
taxpayer to go into his own city and pay.
It is true that there were no disorders in the world. There ^
was unrest, to be sure. But no disorders. For Caesar Augustus w
had perfected the police state. Dissidents were executed, or im
pressed as slave laborers. Those who gave up their freedoms
without protest received largess from the public treasury.
Caesar Augustus had also legalized plunder. He took from some
persons what belonged to them and gave it to other persons to
whom it did not belong. And he kept the biggest share for
himself.
Then it was that the angel of the Lord appeared and said
unto them: "Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of
great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is bom
this day in the city of David a Saviour which is Christ the %
Lord."
And when He was grown to adulthood, this man of Galilee
said to His exploited countrymen: Render unto Caesar the
things which are Caesar's and unto God -the things that are
God's.
He showed them that their salvation lay in service to their
God, and not in servitude to their state. He showed them that
resistance to the promises and persuasione and bestialities of
despots requires, sometimes, the ultimate sacrifice.
And those who followed His teachings persuaded their ^
fellow-countrymen that: "Wherefore thou art no more a serv
ant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God . .
Then, men ceased giving up their freedom for pottage.
A great many died, that others might walk upright in
dignity.
Across the centuries other would-be Caesars have en
slaved nations and societies which forgot the meaning of
Christmas. Some dictators have employed their own centurions
to enslave. Some have hired informers with pieces of silver.
More often than not, ambitious Caesars have had only to pro;n- —
ise something for nothing: largess from the public treasury. "
It is so this Christmas, too. False prophets seek to trick
free men into slavery to government—to make them servants
of a system rather than sons of God.
The Apostle Paul foresaw this eternal assault on free men.
His words to the Galatians stand as the lesson of Christmas
for this and every future year of our Lord:
"Stand fast therelore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath
made us free and not be entangled again with the yoke of
bondage." . .
+ Moments Of Meditation ·/·
Keeping Christmas Christian
At Christmas w.e celebrate
the birthday of Jesus, the
Christ.
Some people think of
Christmas as merely another
holiday. To others, Christmas
means the exchanging of
gifts. Some people are more
concerned about Santa Claus
than about the Christ who
came that we might have life.
We should do our best to set
Μ personal example of mak
ing Christmas a Christian
observance.
Jesus, the Christ, has been
pushed to the side until He
is not the vivid living ex
ample to each of us which
He came into the world to
be.
