60,000 pieces a day are dispatched around Christmas.
 A Santa Claus headquarters is maintained where thousands of tourists and visitors buy gifts and post cards. During the Christmas week, Santa Claus, in full uniform end long whiskers, presides.
 Although this is the only town in the world bearing this name, other places have names associated with the Yule holiday.
 Christmas Island, in the Pacific Ocean, is so named because Captain Cock landed there Christmas Day, TIT.
 Five communities in the United States are named for this holiday. There is Christmas in Gila County, Ariz,; Orange County, Fla; Law renee County, Ky; Bolivar County, Miss. and Roane County. Tenn. Minnesota boasts of lake by the name of Christmas. It is located in Scott County.

GREENS ON CHRISTMAS

For a great number of people, house not decorated with Christmas greens would be dull indeed. One expert has pointed out, though, that there need be no fear that there ever will be shortage of the greens peculiar to the various sec tions of this nation if proper care | is taken in collecting the greenery.
 But as it is today. wanton de- struction in the collection of the Yuletide decorations, so thoughtful | ly placed for our use by Mother Nature, has brought about a dan | ger that we might not have some of the greens we are so accustomed to-
 There is a danger that the Amer ican holly. in southern Atlantic coast states. and the laurel plants of the mountainous country of the East, will both face extermination unless some organized method of harvesting is brought about.
 Three other Christmas decorative plants that are rapidly disappear ing because of new, and increased demands, are the winterberry, the ground pine, and the bittersweet. To large extent these plants can be saved if the nation turns to the use of evergreen boughs, such as cedar, pine, hemlock and spruce. For touch of color, artifical red berries could well be used.
 The story of our over commer-
 cialization is always connected with
 the background of the dissipation
 of our native plant life without re-
 gard to future stock. Some form of
 protective law has to be put into effect to protect the quickly dis
 appearing greenery. Restriction or prohibition in certain areas seems
 to be the coming necessity to save l them.

eral essential precautions which will help to assuresa truly Merry aChrise- mas.
 Don't risk using frayed cords and broken plugs.
 Don't handle electrical appliances with wet hands.
 Don't yank at cords or run them under rugs.
 Don't forget to have insulated staples on hand for stringing cords around ''
 Don't overload your house cir cults. Usually 1000 watts is as much as any one circuit will stand
 Don't neglect providing plenty of extra lamp bulbs of the various sizes and colors you're using for Christmas cheer, so you can replace burned out ones.
 Don't put pennies in blown-out fuse. A blown fuse is warning!
 Don't have high wattage lamp bulbs near fancy inflammable orna- ments, synthetic materials, paper or cotton Watch out, about using candles too near draperies, wall paper or woodwork. | Don't plan to have. row of candles too close to a mirror or the heat may crack it.
 And above all, don't burn real candles on your Christmas tree un- less it has. first been thoroughly tireproofed. .,

ANSWERS

1. Evergreen decorations derive from the pagan belief that they are symbols of good luck and from the medieval legend that all trees and growing things in the forest blos- somed and bore fruit on the night of the Nativity.
 3. In days of yore, the Yule Log was the chief emblem of the Eng fish Christmas, following the an- cient tradition that the fire on the hearth symbolized the center of family life.

According to the Bible St. Nicholas was born in the thriving port of Patara, opposite the Island of Rhodes in Lycia, an Asia Minor  province of the Roman Empire. 5.

 '.

CHEF DESCRIBES
 HOW 10 CARVE
 TURKEY PROPERLY

1 Fine roast turkey reigns supreme over the American Christmas table. But no matter how large or small it may be, the obstacle of carving the bird must first be overcome De fore it can be enjoyed.
 Y Since carving is almost an art in itself, few expert suggestions are made by Maurice Bonneau, chef at a downtown hotel in New York. Before starting to cut the turkey, sharpen the carving knife with the steel The correct way to sharpen the carving knife is to hold the steel securely in the left hand, passing the far side of the blade against the far side of the steel with quick stroke toaard the left hand.
 When the knife is sharpened, re- move the second joints by putting fork between second joint and drumstick. Insert knife between carcass and second joint and cut, then with the fork pull the joint free from the carcass. If turkey is properly cooked this will be easy. Next remove the wings by cutting very carefully. inserting knife to- ward the joints and pull out as with the second joint. Take care rot to cut into the breast.
 E With the breast of the turkey facing you, slice the white meat with downward stroke and away from ] the bone. Next cut the drumstick free from the second joint, and slice i the latter. Then cut the tail with lower back meat and cut out the "oyster" which is a small amount of dark meat on the back which is al- ways in demand because of the deli cate flavor.
 Serve the meat with the stuffing, lgiblet gravy and cranberry sauce.
 Spoon out the stuffing which is
 placed first on the plate. Cover with one piece of dark and one piece lof light meat, unless there are spec ial preferences, and cover with giblet gravy. Place helping of cranberry sauce on the side.

than would the evergreen shrubs growing outside. but it becomes a more serious fire hazard every hour. At the end of a week, it will be high ly inflammable.
 It is best to bring in fresh tree as short a time before Christmas as possible, and to remove it as soon afterwards as you can. If you do this, ordinary precautions should prevent it from taking fire. Tamil ies, clubs, churches and business men who want to keep their trees from week or more before Christ mas until after New Years Day need observe special safeguards to

SANTA CLAUS, INC..
 ATTRACTS VOLUMES
 OF CHRISTMAS NAH

About 75 years ago the people of a community in Indiana applied for post office, asking Santa Fe as name. There already was post office by that name in Indiana, and since it was a short time before Christmas, the people decided to name the town Santaclause, in one word.
 In 1888 the name was changed to two words, Santa Claus. Since then letters from all over the world have come in, until now it takes a force of about eight people through November and December to handle the Christmas mail with new electric cancelling machine. About

 But it is important that your Christmas lights be in good con dition. A short circuit in worn wir- ing might be sufficient to start the tree burning. Sets bearing the label of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc, have been tested for fire hazard and pronounced safe by experts.

JUST LIKE MOVIES

NEW YORK. --- The night club debut of Tina Beaumont happened when Bella Bizony, Hungarian, violinist at the Goa Rouge, heard a voice accompanying his rendition. He discovered a young woman was singing to her escort. Bizony urged her to sing louder. The audience applauded, and Prank Bonacchini, the cafe owner, introduced himself and offered the young contralto a contract.
 Raised in Switzerland, Miss Beau- mont studied voice both in the United States and abroad, but her only previous singing appearances had been on the concert stage.

This method when used with fresh trees reduces the inflammability as effe ctively as any fireproofing chemicals. Chemicals may cause the tree to turn brown or yellow or to lose its needles.
