young spruces come up and In the
open sunshine take cd q vivid green.
And more than that-the symmetrical
branches are lively green clear to the

Christmas trees cannot be cut In
areas Of spruce forest, because when
they grow In dense clusters the IN.

and hence the trees have no value a.

spruces and tying them with Irvine.
The cutting and bundling is the

Hard Christmases
for CIV ashington

a o ONE has told US much about
NJ George Washington's Christ.
masses. But from the record
Of his life we learn how he spent some
Of his Christmas days.
1t was 4 very cold Christmastide In
1777 At Valley Forge. Snow was on
the hills Everything was frozen. And
Washington's army was In great need
Of food, clothing and shelter.
Instructions Of parties Of men to 70
foraging for food are entered In the
orderly book for that Christmas day
at Valley Forge, which was anything
but merry for Washington.
Still more desperate were the food
conditions at Morristown. In ITO,
when Washington reported that his
army was on half allowance and near
starvation. I'VE have never exps.
rienced like extremity At any period
Of the war;" declared Washington,
pleading that food be seGt.
There was a welcome Christmas
present for Washington and his men
at New Windsor In 1850 when 4 big
Christmas wagon came with over 1900
shirts and other comforts made BY
Philadelphia women patriots--things
needed BY the men under Washington,
who were cheerfully suffering all sorts
Of hardship In order that this country
might be free. The Philadelphia WON.
en- also raised, that year, over $780,.
GOO in aid Of the soldiers.
The fine old Colonial mansion (ths
Craigie house) In Cambridge. Mass,
(now widely known as the home Of
Henry W. Longfellow). was the place
where Washington spent his FIRST
Christmas ~ commander Of the Rev.
olutionary army In l776. Mrs. Wash.
ington was there with him Gas she was
later at Valley Forge), and there was
some pleasure In the midst Of the
heavy cares and responsibilities car
ried by the great Washington.
A year later Christmas day found
Washington At the head Of his 2.4O0
brave men making his celebrated
crossing Of the Delaware river, nine
miles above Trenton. The snow and
sleet were binding, It Is recorded, and
the cold was intense. But hearts
were brave.
Wherever he was At ChristmastIde,
Washington was cheered with the
thought that the cause Of the strug.
Cling colonies would surely win. A
few days before Christmas. 1776, he
wrote to his older brother, John An.
gustine Warrington: Between you
and me, our Affairs are In q very bad
situation. However. under .
full persuasion Of the justice Of our
cause, ! cannot entertain an idea that
It will finally sink, though It may r.
main for some time under . cloud"
Washington must have had some
very merry Christmases At Mount Yer
non. There were no children Of his
own. with whom Washington could
romp. But we can easily imagine
the big-hearted general putting on Z
false beard Of fuzzy white whiskers
and singing a pack over his back for
the delight Of the little ones in tho
neighborhood.
General Washington was truly the
Father of His Country" and we have
very good idea of the sort Of holiday
spirit In which he observed the glad
Chrlstmastide' when our republic was
In Its infancy.
No one In all our bright history az
a nation has handed down more ra-
diant Christmas message OF hope and
faith.
