NAME SHERARD
AS Discussing
OFFICER here
$50 Men Will Be Given
Work in County in Few
Days, Is Estimated

w. M. Sherard, former Henner-
sonville mayor, has been named
as disbursing agent for the CWA
organization in Henderson coun~
ty, it was announced this morn
ig by the advisory council on re
lief.
Mr.. Sherard was in Charlotte
today attending a conference per-
tanning to the duties of his new
office. Mr.. Sherard had been re-
commended for the post of relief
director in this county, but it Is
understood that his name was not
acceptable to the state relief Of
flee as he is a member of the
board Of commissioners of the
CITY of Hendersonville.
1t was also stated this morning
that the report that work projects
in this county and in the state OF
North Carolina would be held un
on account of the demand of the
federal government that the state
pay a third of the costs of work
projects was not correct. A mis-
understanding along this line was
thought to have been due to the
fact that states and municipalities
obtaining funds from the public;
works administration are required
to put up a third of the outlay. 1t
was explained, however, that
funds for CWA projects will be
supplied by the federal govern
ment.
1t was also estimated that the
projects temporarily approved by
the district highway office for
Henderson county would put
about $50 men to work in this
county. Six of the II road prof.
ects submitted for Henderson
county have been approved by the
Asheville office and await APPROX
al by the Raleigh office before
work can be started on these
projects.
THREE IMPORTANT
PROJECTS CARRIED OVER
Three projects on which work
was going forward prior to the
organization of the CWA were
approved and carried over to this
organization, according to infor-
nation here this morning. They
are the Red Cross sewing room in
the post office building, the coun-
tv home work project, and the
work on the Hendersonville Golf
and Country club.
Action by the Raleigh office is
expected to be taken as fast as
possible, but naturally the Raleigh
office is literally swamped with
work with projects coming in for
approval from the 100 counties
of the state.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S CHRISTMAS

When Uncle Wiggily awakened il
his hollow stump bungalow one
morning, at first he could not i'm
agine where he was, for he heard
so much shouting, cheering, laugh
ing not to say giggling and yelling,
that, for a moment, the rabbit gen.
tleman thought he was at a foot
bal game or maybe a baseball game
or even a game Of croquet.
"Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!" came
the shouts from below.
Three cheerS!" some one yelled
Isn't it just grand" cried ano-
ther voice.
MY goodness, Nurse Jane asked
Uncle Wiggily of his muskrat lady
housekeeper, who passed through
the hall just then, what is going
on downstairs
Its just the rabbit children and
some of their friends said the
muskrat lady.
Are they tearing down the bun
gaIow?" asked Uncle Wiggily.
Almost" laughed Nurse Jane
Your wife can't do a thing with
them. They've chased her under the
sofa and they're tickling her with
turkey feathers
Whatever for?" asked the bunny
why, don't you know?" asked

MERRY CHRISTMAS

"A world tired with battling its economic
ills for four long, weary years, pauses
to throw off its cares at Christmas and
to give itself up to rejoicing.
Grass commercialism, which plays such
an important part in the lives of so
many, gives away before the simple story
which has come down to us through the
ages.
Many. who throughout the year give
little or no thought to the things they
learned at their mothers knees, or to the
instructions received later in life from
sincere and devoted men and women, re-
call again the beautiful story of the
shepherds watching their flocks, OF the
heavenly host singing on high, OF the
rude little manger in a stable and of
Baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and
adored by the dumb beasts.
Christmas brings many other things
to us-Santa Claus, the exchanging of
gifts, gaudy decorations, carols, but af-
ter all its foundation and all that Christ
mas is or may ever be, is based on the
story of the Christ child Without it
there would be no Christmas.
Men doubt, scott and harden their
hearts to the later story of Christ, yet
there are few who can ignore or reject
the simple appeal of the Nativity. There
must be something more than mere beau
ty, something more than mere tradition
to enable story to sway an entire world
throughout the course of two thousand
years
1t may become somewhat tarnished
throughout the year but annually at
Christmas, the old story, ever new, is
gladly received again with its promise
of "Peace on earth, goodwill to men,. 1t
is as comforting as an oasis in desert;
as joyful as the sunshine after the
rain; as peaceful as mother rocking
her babe
Man eagerly awaits its coming and
welcomes it as something which is fund

Max Baer, who is paired with
Myrna 10y, proves himself as great
lover as he is a fighter and, ac-
cording to reports, threatens to
overthrow the standard movie

Wherever there is Baer there is

Giant Primo Camera in an epic
10-round fight and wonders about
the source of such tremendous en-
ergy.
And Baer is graceful as he is ac-
tive. Tall with extremely broad
shoulders, he has a wasp-like waist
and long, supple legs. Baer moves
more like a dancer than anything
else. Primo Carnera, by comparison,
resembles a great bull elephant, but
very fast and dangerous looking
elephant.

BEDTIME STORIES
By HOWARD E. GARRIS
Copyright, 1888 by Mcclure Newspaper Syndcate)

In a little while it was Christmas
Eve. Though they didn't want to,
the bunny children and all the
ether animal girls and boys, went to
bed very early. 1 don't know what
would have happened had they not
j done this.
After they were all in bed, strange
noises began to be heard in Uncle
Wiggily's hollow stump bungalow
And, for the matter of that, strange
noises began to be heard in many
other houses and bungalows, not
only of the animal folk but of real
boys and girls.
The night grew darker and more
still. A little snow began to fall.
Seen was heard the jingle of bells
and the prancing of hoofs and the
hum and throb of airplanes, for
! Santa Claus comes in many, many
ways, because he has so many
places at which to stop nowadays.
The night grew darker and still
er. All the animal children were
fast asleep. What wonderful dreams
they had
Then the sun began to peep over
the hills. The snow had stopped fall
ing, but it sparkled in the rays OF
the sun like ten million diamonds
all over the ground.
Baby Bunty awakened in her crib
She put out her little pink nose. 1t
was cold but she didn't mind that.
Out of her crib she hoped. Out of
their beds and cribs hoped all the
ether rabbit boys and girls and all
the other animal children.
HAS he been here yet? Has San
ia Claus been here yet, Unkie Wig?'
asked Baby Bunty, standing in the
hall.
Go downstairs and see," answer
ed Uncle Wiggily from his bed.
And when Bunty and the others
hurried downstairs there was the
! Christmas tree ablaZe with the flick
ering lightning bugs. On 1t hung
many candy canes and oh, such pre-
sents. Uncle Wiggily's stockings
were filled to the top. Then the
bunny gentleman and his wife and
Nurse Jane hurried downstairs, call
ing:
Merry Christmas! Merry Christ
mas! Merry Christmasl"
Merry Christmas" answered the
children.
And so, TO each and every one OF
you, Uncle Wiggily wishes a most
Q .,rf, u oil
ings of happiness. And after Christ
mas there will be more stories for
you.

Generally the cards are sent in

ceived by me contain thankful
words of appreciation by people
who want me to know how grand it

The commerce building, biggest
governmental office building in the
world, isn't big enough. The NRA is
making its walls bulge. All the 3,311
rooms are overcroWded. The 80 ele-

coming. That's why the children
are so happy" ....
"Oh, to think 1 should have for
gotten that after all I've done to
get ready for the jolly time!' eX-
claimed Mr.. Longears, hopping out
of bed and scrambling into his
clothes. Il dreamed it was Fourth
of July" he told Nurse Jane, and
that's why, when 1 awakened, l
forgot all about Christmas
1.-The children won't let you for
get it," laughed the muskrat lady.
"And you had better go down and
rescue your WIFE
Il will" said Mr.. Longears. So he
chased the animal children-the
rabbits, the dogs, the pussy cats, the
ducks, the squirrels and guinea pigs
out to play in the snow. Then Mr..
Longears pulled his wife out from
beneath the sofa. She was laughing
so she could hardly talk, for she
liked bit of fun as much as did
the children.
But / am glad you got them out
of the way" she told her husband
Il couldn't do a think with them
They are so full of mischief But is
everything all ready for Christ
mas?" she asked.
Everything" answered Mr.. Long
ears. "The tree is hidden down cell
lar. The ornaments are under my
bed. The chimney has been cleaned
so Santa Claus can easily slide
/ down with the presents. And mj
golf stockings are stretched enough
TO hold many presents for the pool

a tree. Everything is ready for thl
Jolly time that will soon start"

neglected. His better nature responds to
its appeal and he finds his greatest JOY
in making others happy. Though he may
soon forget again, he is just as eager
the next year to greet Christmas in the
same old way.
Christmas is synonymous with reJolc-
ing and this year finds many whose re-
cent Christmases have been bleak affairs,
once more able to join whole-heartedly
in the Christmas spirit. Their material
welfare, vitality essential to spiritual
well-being, has been greatly improved in
the past year and the hope for even bet
ter things to come is strong within them.
A world is finding again that it can
lift up its head. Perhaps with the in
spiration offered it in the story of the
Christ child, it will find that spiritual
strength which it needs to triumph over
adversely and know again the peace
which the story promises.
With all the good wishes that the
phrase implies and with all the sincerity
of which the human heart is capable, we
extend the Christmas greetings of The
