~lompIight Tells Story
On Christmas Seals

The old fashioned lamplighter de-
picted on the 1916 Christmas Seals
commerates the Yuletide of 1907
when the first American seals were
sold to aid volunteer and profession
al workers in the winning fight
against tuberculosis, according to
Miss Katherine Mcleod of the Hol-
mes County tuberculosis Associat-
ion, who said:
I'm each sheet of 100 seals, SO
carry the Lamplighter design, while
four of them in the center of the
sheet are portraits of persons cred
tied with success of the first seal
campaign. They are Jacob Riis, a
writer who told of the birth of the
Christmas Seal idea in Denmark,
Miss Emily Bissell, designer of the
first seal in this country, and E. A.
Van Valkenburg and Leigh Mitchell
Hodges, newspaper men who used
the power of the press to sell the
public on the unusual idea of coup
ling the Good Will of Christmas
with the tragedy of tuberculosis.
THAT first sale of seals brought
$4,000. into the tuberculosis battle,
while the 39th, lats year, amounted
to more than Is million. The 40 sale
this year is expected ito exceed 16
million"
THE year of the first seal, 174 of
every l00,0 600 Americans died of
tuberculosis, while this year Of the
10th seal, the rate will be less than
40 per 100000. But that death rate
of 40 ear that more than so, 900
OF our people are dying of a prevent
able disease this year. That is why
5000 state and local tuberculosis
associations have joined with offic-
health agencies in waging a no.

TB is eradisated from the homes Of

THANKSGIVING DAY 49,

THANKSGIVING DAY 1916
Giving thanks always for all
things unto Cod Ephesians $40.
Once again Thanksgiving Day has
come and gone. Once again many
have celebrated by attending a foot
ball game, going on a trip or hunt
ing, eating a big meal and perhaps
even some have gone to church TO
attend a Thanksgiving service. In
much of this celebration, there was
probably little thought of gratitude
to God for all the blessings of His
hand. Perhaps some bowed their
heads before partaking of the Than
ksgiving dinner and muttered a few
hasty "thank you's" and then pro-
ceeded to dismiss from their minds
their duty of gratitude. Even where
there had been sincere, heartfelt
praise to the Giver of every good
gift, too often when Thanksgiving
Day is gone gratitude is forgotten for
another year.
Thanksgiving should not be look
ed upon as something to be perform
ed n day a year and forgotten the
other 1854 days. 1t should be contin-
uous. Giving thanks always" We
should cultivate a grateful heart
which will Sc in all things the low
ing hand of God and will acknow-
ledge Him as the author of every
blessing.
Not only should our Thanksgiving
be continuous but it should be given
'for all things unto God" Many
such as pain, sickness, and
may not appear to be bless
but they are blessings in dis
guise. We should accept them along
with our joys and blessings as gifts
from a gracious God and praise Him
for them. He has a purpose in send
ing these things. 1t is all for good.
Romans 1923. So then, throughout
the year let US be found giving
thafks for all things unto God"

Wave Holds indicated
TIGERS To ScoreIess Tie
BY Glenn Burweu

Although weather conditions were
unfavorable Thursday night the
largest crowd of the season stayed
to see the Purple Wave battle the
Durant Tigers to a s~coreless dead
lock.
The first quarter started off with
Durant kicking and Lexington re-
ceiving. There were few gains made
this quarter, and most of the play
ing was done around the SO yard
line.
The second quarter didn't show
any weakness in either team as both
held their ground with neither team
more than two first downs.
The third quarter the Wave really
came out fighting. George Edwards,
John McRae and Virgil Ingold.
making gains of Is to 20 yards, but
still were unable to score. Ingold's
kicking was a highlight of the
thrilling game.
The fourth quarter almost gave
both teams score Dan Mullins
caught a pass across the goal for l.
H. S., but the ball was knocked from
his hands before the whistle blew.
Durant stayed on the Lexington 10
yard line for three first downs, but
the Waves line was too strong for
them to break through.
The Lexington line and backfield
played one of the hardest and best
games witnessed by the fans this
year and succeeded in tieing their
rival, Durant in a scoreless game.
Both teams were beset with in
juries.
Lexington was without the servic-
es of Captain Ed Tye Nelson, in
jured early in the game, and Henry
Paris, who suffered a broken arm
recently.
Durant's team was without the
services of Chicken Barranco, Roy
Wigley and Rubber Lewis who
weren't in uniform because of pre-
vious injuries. In addition Melton,
one of the star players wa injured
in the second quarter and hospitax-
zid, and Frank Drake, first string
man received another shoulder in
, jury and was out for most of the
game.

Army Hangs On to
Its G.I. Trucks
Equipment Veterans Wanted
Is Not Forthcoming.

Observation-Disclosures are all
the surplus CT. cars and trucks that
veterans want?
There are two slants to the ques-
ton, plus considerable uncertainty
over just how interested the veter-
ans are in some of the equipment.
War department spokesman ex-
plain the slow movement of auto
motive surplus to market this way:
(a) The army is holding on to all
vehicles deemed necessary to its
needs until July l, 1949-more than
three years hence.
(b) The army isn't exactly sure
how many cars it has.
The War Assets administration,
which sells the vehicles, sizes up
the situation as follows:
(a) The cars and trucks cannot be
offered to veterans until the army
declares them surplus. Many have
not been so declared.
(b) WAA hopes to get more soon,
including big stocks from Texar-
kama, Texas, for example, where the
army has $4,000 vehicles at its re-
pair depot.
(c) WAA needs 70 days, on the
average, to get a car ready for sale
t. a veteran after it gets the vehicle
from the army.
But oddly, veterans aren't buying
some enthusiastically the 2h-ton
trucks reserved exclusively for
them-in anywhere near the expect
ed numbers. Some of these trucks
are going begging for buyers.
