OF the caprices, the temperament and
the unusual activities of any human
being who fails to conform to the senti-
ment OF the times, and it is human
nature to magnify and exploit the
simplest acts of those who receive public
attention. Mrs. Royal came into the
limelight in circumstances that today
would not register disapproval or cause
any particular comment: But she was
born eighty years too soon to receive
the admiration of mankind, and so she
was accorded the i'll will and the un-
kindness that those of her own day be-
ieved to be her due.
She made countless enemies and won
but a few friends. And writer's who
have attempted to tell the story Of her
life have almost invariably ignored
provable facts rather than spoil good
tale. Even the best of the biographies
are more partisan than accurate, with
the result that more untruthS have been
written about this remarkable woman
than about any woman to whom the
American public has given its attention.
1t Is in sincere endeavor to give the
authentic facts about Anne Royal that
Mr.. Jackson has written this small book,
which makes no claim for literary dis
tinction or seeks no quarrel with more
renowned or more colorful writer's It is
devoted to a recitation of the provable
facts concerning the activities and the
tribulations of smart and uncompro-
missing woman who was shamefully
treated by the United States Govern
ment, was convicted as common scold
in q District of Columbia court and was
sadly misunderstood and abused by man
kind in general. Her methods were
brusque and her tongue sharp. She
deserved much Of the enmity that was
showered upon her, but it is interesting
to note that practically all of the public
policies for which she argued and
fought, In person and through her news
papers, are now Ia operation.

The AllStars were just a little too much for the tired business men Rockets) in last nights soft ball game held in Evergreen Bowl, as the young stars won by a 9-7 score.
 Sherwood Wirt's home run in the second started the Rockets off with 5-1 lead at the end of the seconI inning. But the youngsters were not to bc discouraged, so with the help of two errors and walk, Notar, Miller and Powers scored to bring the count to 5-4. The Rockets were held scorcless in the last half of the third frame.
 In the fourth, we find IIallic Rice getting a walk and Jimmie Terrell driving him in wijh a nice sinele which brought the count to five apiece. Again the Rockets were held scorelcss as three men flied out.
 Both teams scored two runs in he fifth. and for awhile it looked like it mi ht be long game. How ever, a nice double in the sixth by Chuck Notar, and singles by Torn Powers and Ned Rowe brought in two more runs and from then on both sides were held for no

KIMBALL HOMES
 WITH 5 ON FOR MOOSE VICTORY
Elk Squirt in Final Inning Makes Paps Come from
 Behind to Win

Bob Kimball started what he finished last evening, in a style that will take the Elks long to forget. The long Moose right-hander start ed the game on the mound, where he lasted three innings, but he stayed all the way in the batter's box, getting three hits in four times up, the last of his blows being good for a g to 6 win for the Moose as it sailed over the grand stand with the bases loaded.
 Leading from the fourth inning on, the Moose fell behind one run as the Elks staged two-run spurt in the first half of the final frame to make the picture mighty dark for the second-half leaders. But, with the marbles down, the Moose unlimbered in their last time at bat A single and a wild pitch put McNamee on second for an opener, then Werner drew walk.
 Forsythe, Elks captain, then moved to cross the Pap hitters by sending fire-baller Bud Foster to the mound in place of curve-ball heaver Lefty Abramson who had held forth through the first six frames. Forsythe's strategy boom eranged, however, when Grummett met fast. one for single to load xxrifh tho fUitln and uyifl ming runs. With a single needed to salt the game away, Kimball stepped into Fosters first pitch for one of the longest clouts of the year and the four Moose waltzed around the paths to ring down the curtain.
 Three runs, all unearned, were counted against Kimball as he opened the game, Werner's error at fhortstop unlatching the gate for the Elks. With lead-off hitter FL lensberg safe on second after a steal, Foster walked and EllenSberg pilfered another bag, right after which Foster stole and Schmitz was asleep on the throw to second, FL lensberg going with the first run as the ball bounded into the out field. Foster went to third as Mac Spadden grounded out to Kimball and Forsythe drew walk Abram- son bunted to move Foster home and Forsythe to second, then Ad dleman came up with a clean single that counted Forsythe: Addleman, however, was nipped going to sec ond, making the third out.
 Two singles got the Elks nowhere in the second inning, and the Moose did no better with Haglund's double in the last of the first and Kim balls two-baser in the second. Eos ter opened the third for the Elks with single, but was out going to second. MacSpadden also singled, and he stole second, Moose sec- ond baseman Fritz Schmitz was in- jured on the foot and left the game, Jimmy Orme coming in from right field to take over his bag.

THE NEW CONGRESS

All the signs point to a lively interesting
session of Congress- when the newly-elect-
ed members and the ones who succeeded in
being reelected gather ON Capitol Hill.
From any sound point of view it seems
to be good thing that neither of the two
great parties has such an overwhelming
majority in the House of Representatives
that it can ride rough-shod over the mi
nority. It is as true of political parties as
of every other human organizations, that
they begin to deteriorate when they have
undisputed control.
'~ The best tonic for the Gneraleaof any par-a
ty is to have to stand up to strong oppo-
sition. The result is much more likely to
approach the liberal, democratic standard
of respect for the rights and views of mi
norities.
There are many important questions to
come before the new Congress, on which
public and party opinion is sharply divid-
ed The division is not so much over the
detectives sought as over the means by
which they shall be made effective.
The results of the recent election indi-
cate quite clearly that Democrats and Re-
publicans generally are not very far apart
in their ultimate purposes. Both want to
ameliorate the condition of the less-favored
groups of the people, both want to enable
business and industry to put themselves
into a position where they can employ
more and more workers at better wages
so far as legislation can help bring that
about.
1t is too much to expect of human nature,
however, that personal, political and parti-
san motives can be overlooked.
1t is to be hoped however, that the spirit
of partisanship will not dominate the dis
cussions over the new program of ma
tional defense. Once the people are
convinced that our national security
is even remotely threatened, there
should be complete unanimity on the ne
cessity for Strengthening the bulkwarks
which are to protect America and the prin-
ciple from threat or attack by any of the
totalitarian powers.

FOR THE VOICE OF THE

Dear Mr.. Editor:
In a day or two we shall be
celebrating Christmas. This re-
minds me that again we have
spent a year working together in
trying to build a better rural life
in North Carolina. I would be
very ungrateful if I did not stop
for the moment to pay tribute to
the Press, and particularly to the
Weekly Press, for its part in this
great undertaking.
Your pages each week have re-
Elected the rural life of this state.
You have given freely of your
valuable space that our people
might be fully informed on all
matters affecting their welfare.
AS I look back over the year, I
note that you have carried the
latest developments in research,
the results of extension demon
strations, and information abou|
the AAA program. You have re-
flected the activities of men and
women who have done some out
standing farm and home accom-
plishment and you have adder
your own encouragement to the
building of a successful farm life
1ife-and farm life, is, as you
know, the basis of a stable politi-
cal structure.
Therefore, I thank you and I
make bold to speak in the name
of the thousands of men, women,
boys and girls in rural North
Carolina who seek to have all the
best things of life. I have the
right also to speak in the name
of the research and extension
specialists here at the college
who have supplied me with much
of the material that we have pre-
pared for you.
1t has been an interesting year
and l suspect the next will be
equally so. For the time being,
however, I can only wish for you
and yours a happy Christmas

The Little
Fir Tree
BY Henry Hording

HERE was very little sunlight
in the forest. The trees were

The little fir tree stretched himself,
and tried to ina gine himself as full
grown. Looking up at the sky and
the stars and the moon, he listened
to the big trees talk. isn't the
moon bright tonight one would
say; and there would be gentle
rustling Of their leaves as the trees s .
would shake their heads in agree
ment.
I'm afraid you're going to be
stunted, because there is so much
shade here" a little squirrel said to
the fir one day as he jumped into
it's branches and brushed the top
limbs with his bushy tail. 1T takes
sunlight to make anything grow
strong and TALL
So the little fir tree stretched him.
self up, and kept his head pointed
up toward the spot Of sunlight he
saw clear up through the maze Of
heavy tree growth. He could be
straight and outstanding, even if he
hadn't grown tall.
Today the ground was all covered
with the snow which stayed white
in the forest. All but a few birds
had gone south. Every once in
while there was the sound of steel
striking against wood, and infre-
quently crashing sound of falling
trees.
The tall trees began to tremble.
