‘""Wile Babe, of Bel^ilehem"’ We greet that "Babe" who once was born. In far-off Bethlehem: Of all glamour and trappings shorn; Having no need of them. For, did he not possess A "Halo" for his tiny head? Even a royal babe had less Than this “Babe of Bethlehem” And did He not lead on the “Star” To rest above the lowly “Inn"? To guide the Shepherds from afar To find the place where He had been.

is exactly what the old master wanted him to believe. Here is what* happened. Mr. Muzzy led the six of hearts, and Mr. Dale won with the ace. killing Mr New s king. Counting up his winners, the old boy fell far short of the desired nine Looking the situation ove\ he thought perhaps he might get the enemy to help him. KINCi HOLDS At trick two he laid down the king of diamonds. He was not surprised when it held the trick. Obviously, the defender holding the ace of diamonds was trying to hold off until the ace of clubs • th> only entry' to dummy) was piayed. This set-up was perfect for Mr. Dale’s plan. He could see no reason why the enemy wouldI n’t think it wise to hold off

i again.

Accordingly he led the jack of diamonds. Mr. Muzzy’s nine fell ! and a small card was played | from tha board.

NO ERROR

This is where Mr. New figured ! that Mr. Dale had erred. He i knew there were no more dia- ! monds in the closed hand. He alj so knew the diamonds were solid | except for the ace. Why, then, hadn’t Mr. Dale overtaken the ! jack with dummy’s queen and ! continued the suit ? He must be ' slipping. . . so Mr. New laid off a

! second time.

Triumphantly, Mr. Dale now

Roa< hdale Team Entertained At Party With the holidays providing a brief cease-fire from their basketball wars, the fast-improving Roachdale Hawks were graciously entertained Wednesday night in t^ie home of Coach and Mrs. Richard Baumgartner. To begin, films were shown of the 1948 state high school relays and of the state basketball finals. This kept the air full of the kind of conversation a coach likes to

hear.

Then a gift was given to each boy, and the remainder of the evening was enlivened with card games, more talking, and the usual horseplay attended at such gatherings. A mountain of sandwiches was hastily devoured, replenished, and devoured again, along with only slightly lesser mountain of potato salad, cake and ice cream. All agreed the evening was a great success. Squad members present were: Bob Baird, Roger Clark, Junior Copner, Dick Clones, John Curran, George Cram, Byron Gough and Ray Keck.

Do you know how much they j give us, these children ? Do they sometimes wonder why. when they dffer so much, we accept so little? Do they ever understand why grownups cling to the belief that "gifts” are always tangible —dump trucks, dolls, paint sets? I believe children know early that giving is better than getting, theories to the contrary. But when and how are they able to transpose their truer sense of values to curs, which too often ncluds price taz, plus tax? What happens when they see invisible signs on adult hearts "Children Not Wanted Here" ? Run along. I’m busy. Don’t bother me now, bother me later. Can't you do anything for yourself?
