Christmas trees, especially large
ones, may be made useful after their
role in the house is over. Don't throw
them away, but fasten them erect in
some sheltered place, preferably
where they may be seen from a Win
dow They will thus serve as shell
ter for birds, which will further show
their appreciation if you will place
suet and other food in them or
near by.

Up to century or two ago, mis-
tletoe was excluded from the floral
decorations of churches at Christmas
time because it was considered to be
an unholy plant, having been tainted
with paganism before the time of
Jesus through its use and worship by
the ancient Druids.

Santa Claus, as we know him, was
conceived by the artist Thomas Mast
to illustrate THE Night Before Christ
mas" In some parts of Europe, ST.
Nicholas was known as a rather thin,
austere man, who travelled on an old
gray mare instead of reindeer and
sleigh. This character was a living
person rather than legendary and dur
ing his lifetime gave away his wealth
to the poor and needy.
This is the foundation for the
generosity and kindness that we at
tribute to our fat and jolly Santa.

this character originally expired sew
eral years ago. However, during the
last session of the Congress legisla-
ton was passed which extended the
filing periods up to and including De-
cember 81, 1889. AS a result Of the
extension of the periods for filing
these claims many new claims are be-
ing filed. Claims which were prev
iously rejected solely on the ground
that they were filed too late under
the old time limitations are being
reopened by the Bureau for further
consideration.
Commissioner Helvering expressed
the belief that persons who have al
ready filed claims should make sure
that their claims adequately protect
their rights. Any claimant, the Com
missioner said, who doubts that his
claim as filed is adequate to protect
his rights should file a new or amend
ed claim on or before December 81,
1889.

GoNE-BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

Yes, Shirley is gone. On Friday,
December /, she left Snow Hill to
begin her school life in Wilmington.
During the last five years that Shir
ley has been with us, she has been
liked immensely by both the student
body and the faculty. In those five
short years she has proved her ca
pable leadership in both her curricu-
lar and extra curricular activities.
She has been active on the Hall Police
Force since her entry into the tenth
grade. She has been a member of
the Student Council, business-manager
of the field-ball team, President of
the Taste and Basic Club, member
Of the Library Club and Glee Club,
and an important figure in intra-mu-
raj athletics. During her freshman
and sophomore years she was the class
representative to the Athletic Asso-
citation. To you, Shirley Townsend,
we wish all the good fortune that life
can hold.
BY withdrawing from the school,
Shirley naturally withdrew from the
Student Council. Of the four eligible
candidates, the Junior Class elected
WINNIE Butler to fill Shirley's vacan-
cy. To you, WINNIE, we wish good
fortune in your newly-acquired re-
sponsibility.

SNOW HILL HIGH SCHOOL GLEE
CLUB

CLUB
There was a night meeting of the
Snow Hill High School Glee Club, or
Friday, December 8, 1889. The presi-
dent, Cordelia Price, presided over the
meeting.
There was much business as it was
the first meeting of the year. One
of the subjects discussed was the pos
sibility of the Glee Club singing carols
around town on Christmas Eve. This
proved to be satisfactory to all pres
emit.
After all the business had been COM
pleted the meeting was turned over
to Richard Leonard, program chair
man. The program was opened with
the singing of several carols by the
group, directed by Rachel Hall. Next
q report on Stradivari was given by
Sherwood Ferris.
It was once said of Stradvari, who
was at one time wood-carver and
who later tried to play the violin,
"He has musicians ear and wood
carvers' hands," This statement how
ever, was later proven false. When
Stradvari died, he took with him some
very important secrets about the .vio-
lin.
He will always be remembered for
his wonderful work with this instru-
ment.
Following this report the club was
entertained with several pieces played
by Harold Brimer and Hurley Hol-
loway on their Guitars. Huey Brown
also sang two selections.
Rosemary Corddry gave report
on the various programs on the radio
connected with music. he gave list
of the stations and the time for each
program.
The program closed by special ar
rangement of "Silent Night" played
by Cordelia Price-followed with sew
eral songs by the club.
The meeting was then adjourned
after a very worthwhile evening.

Today's Sport Parade
BY HENRY McLEMORE Limited Press Staff Correspondent)

youngster with Baer's style. Baer branded this as unfair, why I don't know. Certainly his style of fighting, if it can be called that, is no secret. It has been used in bar rooms and on street corners since the invention of alcoholic spirits and highway intersections. Maxie fights exactly as the first cave man must have fought. He employs about as much deceit as there is in wooden leg.
 If Braddock had not volunteered to point out Baer's tactics to Nova the Californian could have gained the same information by locking himself in a phone booth and slam- ming and putting and kicking his way out. Because that is the way Baer fights. That is, when his op- ponent is a man he doesn't fear. Put him in there against fellow ne knows can knock his off with a punch Gouis for example) and his style is reminiscent of a turtle. He crawls in the shell formed by his arms and shoulders and, making few if any aggressive gestures, waits for the worst to happen.
 But he isn't afraid of Nova. He considers him young punk and knows he can't hit very hard. AS a result, he will charge into Lou. And that's why Baey, none too young none too spry, stands good chance to win. He's a heller when he isn't afraid, and not timid about throwing that cobblestone that serves him I for a right hand.

New York, May 18-(UP)-Even ii MT. Chamberlain and his umbrella have to be pressed into service, those two weary plodders of the come back trail, Maxie Baer and Jimmy Braddock, must be appeased before their feud develops into a fight.
 Right now Baer and Braddock are digging deep into their almost limit less supply of unsavory epithets ana hurling same at one another with an abandon neither ever showed with his fists.
 Up at Ferndale, where Baer is training for his fight with Lou Nova, visitors stick close to their rooms lest they be struck by a flying "bumE or ricochetting "rat!" and in his mountain fastness Braddock is tinting the hills a deeper blue with the choice of words he uses Ill reply to Baer. :,
 Everyone is desperately afraid that these harsh words will lead to something more, and that Baer and Braddock, in fit of madness. will start fighting. This must not be al- lowed to happen. This country suf- fered through one fight between Maxie and Jimmy, and while that was four full years ago. it has not sufficiently recovered to undergo another. There have been worse fights, perhaps, but no one has ever been bold enough to step forward and claim he saw one of them. For fifteen rounds Maxie ano Jimmy went through routine thai was cross, between a Viennest waltz without music and two elder ly butterfly collectors gathering specimens. Not a blow of sufficient force to bruise a spiders web was struck.
 I have heard that the motior picture film of this fight has beer placed in the Worlds Fair time capsule to prove to the citizens O. 5000 years hence that we of 193! were quiet, loving folk wht drowned on the mildest sort O. brutality.
 The feud between Maxie ant Jimmy is rather silly thing. I started when Braddock voluntaril! joined Nova's camp for the purpos' of acquainting the Cal1fornl;
