been romance winning the day after all.
He met my manager at my hotel and walked with
me to Bouquets Restaurant where had luncheon

When we started walking down the Champs ElySeeS
my manager in the middle, was the inside and
Pierre Gaante the outside. All the way to the
restaurant he spoke in French spoke in English and
my manager interpreted. 1t only two days later
discovered no interpreter was needed.
After that at the Cannes Festival the seats were

Letters To Editor
Community Chest
Serves the People

Editor OF the Herald
One of the things which i'm
pressed me most about Farmville
when we came here to make our
home some 30-odd years ago was
the annual flower show.
The flower show was held in the
Al1nory. with table after table Of
gorgeous dahlias-many sizes and
hues- other flowers in profusion,
then in back Of the room. yard
wide counter with many hand
made gifts and goodies for sale
In conjunction with the flower
show, a dinner and luncheon were
served.
What was the purpose Of the
flower show? I found that this
project was the means whereby
funds were raised to care for the
needy in our town. The fund was
held in trust and administered by
a group 50 authorized each year.
The depression came. and it
seemed the local funds were not
enough to meet the needs, and
later our Community Chest was
organized on a countrywide basis
to fill a two-fold need: caring for
those Who need help or helping
groups which endeavor to bring
a better and richer life to our
children and young people. and
to our community. by sharing our
income, not in taxes. but because
we care.
Our own Southhside Communi-
~ Hospital receives approXilna te-
ly 43,5 per cent of our Communi-
ty Chest budget through grants
to the Hospital and the Hospital
Auxiliary. Can anyone visualize
what our town would be like with
out our hospital? Those who say,
1--WE are so grateful we could be
near our loved ones during their
Illness, or we feel that the hos
pital saved our child" will tell you
what the hospital receives can
never repay the service that it
gives.
Our recreation porgrams and
our aid to the hbary and reading
rooms are a splendid defense
against child delinquency. We are
building character through SUI
pervised play and the knowledge
acquired through use of the Ii
brary.
We Share because We care for
those outside our city who need
help. We share because we have
faith in God. and because of the
great commandment las We have
done it unto the least of these,
my brethren. We have done it also
unto me-"
Give-don't let our commune
ty down.

ALTHOUGH 1t is bit early TO be think

Of Agriculture has announced that the tur-

Therefore, YOU can anticipate favorable
prices for that Thanksgiving turkey. What
Is more, the Department of Agriculture
says that other Thanksgiving 'musts" are
unusually plentiful this year too

A II in all, then, from the astronomical
standpoint. Thanksgiving in 1856 should
be whopper Of a success. More important
to papa, the fare should be at low prices
because of the plentiful supply. Therefore,
it will be doubly enjoyable
