Ebenezer Lodge
(Con't. from page 1, col. 1)

Warden, has re-appointed Mr.
Roy Whitmire to serve as Sen-
ior Steward for the coming
year. Mr. Whitmire served in
this capacity during the past
year. Also appointed as Stew-
ard was John L. Winstead. Mr.
Winstead is serving as his first
year as Junior Steward.

Under the able leadership of
Mr. Jarred, the Lodge has

[article continues to bottom of column 2]
enjoyed one of its best years in
its history and quite a bit of
progress has been made by the
local Lodfe in Masonic affairs.

It is expected hat the Lodge
will have even a better year
under its new officers, how fo
the most part, are well seasoned
in Masonic work and who
should carry the Lodge foreward
making it second to none
in the State of South Carolina.

-
It matters more what's in a
woman's face that what's on it.

Xmas Spirit
(Con't. from page 1, col. 4)

St. Nicholas' idea of generosi-
ty caught on quickly even in
those barbaric days. The Teu-
tons, the Franks and the Sax-
ons transmuted their pagan
rites into Christmas celebra-
tions without a hitch in the
proceedings. Each country in-
terpreted St. Nicholas' actions
in its own way - but the under
lying spirit was generosity.

From these druidic and Ro-
man ceremonies we get such
practices as decorating our
homes with evergreens, holly
and mistletoe. Kissing under
the mistletoe is an old English
custom and began with a kiss
for every berry untile the berries
were gone. In Rome, around
the time of the winter solstice
or New Year festival, the pagan
adorned their houses with
sprigs of evergreen. The druids
cut down mighty evergreens
and used them for decorations
and bonfires. With the ancient
Germans, the fir tree was the
center of the winter festival to
Odin.

War and revolutions, new
thoughts and new inventions
have thrown many traditions
on the historical scrapheap. But
the season of Peace on Earth
and Good Will Toward Men
will live forever. And Santa
Claus, Kris Kringle, Father
Christmas or by whatever name
the jolly old gentleman is
known, will come a'calling on
children young and old who be-
lieve. He will drop his visible
gifts in their stockings and
leave a happier gift in their
hearts. To quote Clement
Moore:

''. . . He springs to his sleigh,
to his team gives a whistle,
And away they all fly like the
down of a thistle,
But I hear him exclaim, ere
he drives out of sight:
''Happy Christmas to all, and
to all a good night.''
