Hat

three musical selections at the
beginning of the program.
According to most of the
persons that | had a chance to
talk with, the chorus sounded
superb. This was a compliment
tn Mrs. Woody, the director,
Mrs. Fowler, the pianist, and
he entire chorus.
The one disappointing thing
y about the meeting was the
small crowd. Just u handful Of
/ people had been interested
enough in education to attend
the meeting. While quality is
more important then quantity.
l. larger crowd should hav,
been present.
Those who didn't attend
might point out that some
churches were having praycr
services and/or choir practices.
However, not $500 people
/ (Which compose Tabor City,
according To the 1860 ccnsus)
were at these church meetings.
Others could find another
cxcu%" for not attending tho
meeting in the fact that W.
/ were having one of the cold
cS' spells ever recorded by the
u. S. Weather Bureau. We'll,

more to you than that, our

/ TREE: One Of the accepted
! customs of Christmas is that of
having II tree. And, according
/ 1" the rules, that tree should
be decorated as nicely as pos
Slblc. Well, last Thursday
night, we decided To put UP
our tree. The thing that made
/ putting up the tree d unique
experience was hat | had to
. put the tree together. No jOk-
/ Jig. Mother had bought an ua-
assembled aluminium tree. Up
. on opening the box. the two
section stick that was To serve
/ -. the body Of the tree was
| stuck together. After fixing
I The stick into q holder, the joh
| pi putting on tn" branches a.
rose. After rCaHing a list Of
! SImpl" CIV directions, we tack
led the problem. After inter-
rupting the tr"c-making for
dinner. we finished the assem-
bling. Only after the last few
branches had been stuck on
cid the tree resemble a tree.
Then. with the addition of four
dozen Christmas nails. the tree
was u SnimmCrinG sight Ia be-
, hold.
just the mere act Of putting
together the tree brought baci;
yomc old memories. The mem
