St. Winnitred
and the Tree

One story of the origin of the green
tree as the Christmas tree among the
people of northern Europe is given in
of the many thousands of those SIM
pie and beautiful beliefs that have at
tachcd themselves to the mldwinter
festival and which generally pass now
under the name Of "Christmas myths"
1t Is related that st. Winnifred, a great
Christian missionary, began cutting
down q sacred" oak which had been
the object of worship by the northern
pagans whom he was seeking to lead
Alright. While he was hcwing down the
huge tree 1t was blasted by sudden
whirlwind. Close beside 1t was a
young fir tree, which was not harmed
either by the whirlwlnd or by the fall
Of the giant oak. Then st. Winnifred
is reported to have spoken as follows
to the pagans:
"This little tree, a young child of
the forest, shall be your holy tree to-
night. 1t is the wood Of peace, for
your homes are built Of it, 1t Is the
sign of an endless life, for its leaves
are always green. See how 1t points
toward heaven! Let this be called the
tree of the Christ Child. Gather about
it; not in the wild woods, but in your
homes; there it will shelter no deeds
of blood, but loving gifts and acts Of
Kindness"
The fir tree, the common evergreen
of the northern regions, became the
holy tree of the converted pagans, and
In its honor or in memory of the
thoughts 1t stood for they decorated it
with lights and gifts at Christmas.

BEEF SITUATION.

There is a supply of lighter beef 'n hand, which the housewife may yell use for the next few weeks. The U. S. Food Administration is irging the ~ consumption of this
 ighter beef because drought condi- ions make it impossible to main tam all the cattle on the ranches. It should be available at lower prices in retail markets that have been handling very muoh heavier beef. Heavy beef-that is, beef weighing from 475 pounds upward is still needed by the Allies and our Army and Navy. Parts of the beef which are not shipped abroad, and which may be used here, are kidney, brain, sweetbread, tongue, liver and heart.
