EMPTY STOCKING

. AS JSoA, at ieaSt lUU 1aml-
lies Will receive some Christmas gift
cheer because of the warm spot in
the hearts of local persons for others
who are less worldly fortunate.
For many holiday seasons, several
local churches and civic clubs have
distributed food and clothing to the
needy. Then beginning last year. an
independent organization, The Empty
Stocking Fund, was organized by
several sympathetic people here who
realized that far more families need
ed help than were getting it.
With master list to check nv
churches and the Empty Stocking dis
trlbuted food, clothing and toys to
many families at Christmas in 1855.
This year, an even larger number are
being helped and townspeople have
opened the pocketbooks to the Empty
Stocking to the tune of more than
S4O0 In an effort to bring a little
more JOY to some rather desperate
homes during the holiday season.
Hundreds of toys have also been
graciously donated.
No really wrothy project ever meets
with 100 per cent approval of the
public. The Empty Stocking has met
with its share of obstacles. 1t has over
come each criticism and is assured of
success simply because it is worthy
and in keeping with the spirit of Civ
ing at Christmas time.
The folks who have contributed
asked nothing in return. The handful
of people who have sacrificed days
of effort to gather the toys and funds
are expecting no credit, no reward.
They simply want old and young to
know that Tabor City people are in
terested in sharing Christmas joy dur
ing the holiday season.
Some folks will contend that there
are families who get baskets and toys
who don't really deserve them. And
such will certainly be true. Every
man and every organization makes
mistakes. But the overwhelming ma
jority who get church or Empty
Stocking gifts, will be deserving and
will be needy.
The more prosperous in Biblical
times left some grain in the field for
those in need. Today we can share
some of our present day prosperity
with those less fortunate. It's priv
lcge that we enjoy that might also be
interpreted as an obligation.

II would seem that the CATCH
ing of crabs would be a safe
sport and one that little could
happen TO the participants be-
yond a nip of the fingers now
and then. However, word
comes from Little River that
conditions are far different
from the foregoing. Some time
ago a local gentleman and his
family set out to spend quiet,
sunny, morning by the water
side while they caught a baSk-
ct Of crabs. The affair went
smoothly and according to
schedule until the gentleman
felt himself growing sleepy
enSconCeu himself in cUnvcn-
lent life raft for a nap. The
crabs were biting obligingly
fast and the basket was rapid
ly filling up when the potato
basket became weakened by
water and started coming apart
so as 10 spill the occupants.
Well, the mother of the family
did a quick take of the situa-
ton and made a fast but I'M
fortunate (for the huSband)
decision. She picked up the
basket and the un-eScapcd
crabs and dumped the lot in
the raft along side her hus-
band. From all accounts that
was the most spectacular a
Weakening ever witnessed in or
on the Little River docks.
Grabbing by that family as a
group has been curtailed.
The egg shortage which has
almost amounted to an egg
famine as far as local eggs are
concerned, somewhat hamper
ed the Christmas cookery. One
farm lady said she eventually
got enough eggs together for
her cakes and pies by saving.
Another said she felt it dis
graceful to be forced 10 buy
eggs when she had a hundred
hens In her chicken yard. Any
way it is evident that hens all
over the area have not been
doing their part this holiday
season. | was impressed by one
gentleman'S proposed solution
of the situation. He proposes
TO erect sign in his hennery
to the effect that eggs are
bringing ten cents per dozen in
town. Then" said he" every
dad blamed one OF them will
start pouring eggs"
The recent action on the
support price of certain kinds
of tobacco has brought about q
good bit of comment and dis
custom among growers. Almost
all of them are in favor of the
action as far rs this observer
can see. However there i- al
ways =" opposition and ! could

Testing Guided Missiles
On Worlds Longest Range

CTARTING HERE and island-hopping for

Range runs.
1t is the worlds longest range for testing
guided missiles.
Since 1850, missiles have been launched
from Cape Canaveral, on the Florida coast
some 200 miles northwest from here. AS
our weapons have developed, the range has
been heightened to keep track of them.
The range is completed to Puerto Rico
some 1900 miles from the cape, and par
TALLY completed as far as st. Lucia, in
the Windward Islands, about 1000 miles
from Florida. Work already has started at
Ascension Island, in mid-ocean between
Brazil and Africa to complete the range
at 5000 miles.
Already, it has been announced that
Shark guided missile has gone 1000 miles.
The Air Force is readying Ascension for the
time when the ultimate weapon, the inter-

continental balliStic missile, will zoom the
5000 miles to that lonely island.
The stations on the range are used both
to track the missiles with instruments and
to make sure they don't fall on inhabited
areas. An $18 million submarine cable
which links all the stations as far as
Puerto Rico with Canaveral is used to
report back information on tests imme-
diately and secretly.
After Grand Bahama, the stations are
Eleuthera, San Salvador and Mayaguana
in the Bahamas; Grand Turk, British
island; Sabana de la Mar in the Dominican
Republic and Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. The
United States operates auxiliary Air Force
Bases like this one through treaties with
the governments concerned.
About $50 Americans, aided by some $50
local employees, man the down range sta
