Dickens Manuscript
Brought High Price

Only a few years ago, a previ-
ously unpublished Dickens manu-
script. '"The Life of Our Lord"
was presented to the world.
This simple, moving narrative
had been written by Dickens 100
years earlier for the exclusive en-
joyment of his children and be-
cause he felt such deep veneration
and reverence for the life and les
sons of our Saviour, Dickens had
left instructions that this particu-
lar manuscript never be CONNER
cialized. 1t was never made public
until the year 1888, after the death
of Sir Henry Fielding Dickens. the
authors youngest child.
Literary Prize
Purchased by the London Daily
Mail for the staggering amount OF
$21O, O,000-or, SIS per word, the
manuscript became literary
event of the first magnitude. des-
tined to be read and cherished for
ever wherever thoughtful parents,
like Dickens. want their children
to know something about the his

Everybody ought to know about
Him. No one ever lived who was
so good, so kind, so gentle, and so
sorry for people who did wrong or
were in any way i'll and miserable.

Will the Bluffton area get the old
fashined White Christmas which has
been missing for the past several
years?
If you discount the inch of snow
which fell late in the day last year,
this area hasn't had a really salts
factory blanket of snow since six
inches had accumulated by Christ
mas in 1850.
This record of only one White
Christmas in six years was equalled
only once in the 46-year-old record OF
Christmas weather in Bluffton In the
futile six-year period from 1896 to
1871 snow never was present on
Christmas Day.
The odds are in favor of a White
Christmas. Records show that snow
or a trace of snow, has fallen 2t
times during the 46 years. Only twen-
ty green Christmases have been re.
corded here.
Every sort of Christmas weather
has been observed here, with an icy
| cold quite likely to be followed by
i spring-like weather the very mex
year.
Some really furious snowfalls have
been recorded on Christmas Day, bu
the grandaddy of them all came il
granddaddy's time, 1916. That yeal
roaring blizzard brought 12-incl
snowfall. Other heavy Christina!
snowfalls have been eight inches il
1895, seve ninches in 1914, 1917 ant
1914 and six inches in 1850.

20 LR.-"An old-fashioned lady

looking hat"
That's the way a shipwright
at Brixham describes the May
flower II, the l80-ton reproduc-
ton of the sailing ship which
took the Pilgrims to America in
1920.
Just like that pioneer vessel
which every American school
child knows from his earliest
history book, the modern May
flower is only 26 feet wide. has
a mainmast projecting 80 feet
UP and rectangular sails which
make her look as broad on top
as below.
But despite the top-heavy APP
pearance. high winds won't blow
her over during her sailing voy-
age to the United States this
spring. The ship draws IL feet

and concrete ballast to keep the
hull down.
