"AIso the union and Star

Soldiers Find Chinese Pay Bills af Christmas

And every Chi nese tries to pay all his bills at Christmas time, so he may begin the New Year debtless, if penniless
 Christmas celebrations are partic- ularly widespread in Chungking, the wartime capital, for Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek is a Methodist and a large percentage of the Chinese are Christians.

people who work all the year round, your Christmas tree would not be as gay and bright as it is. One firm alone hires over 300 persons to work on crystal garlands, snow, icicles, angel hair, paper bells, wreaths and garlands.
 There is a section of North Car olina which is Christmas conscious from the first frost of the fall. Up in the mountains the 'galack- CTS" have been busy gathering the evergreens which are shipped all over the country "Galacking" is an important industry to many moun- tain families, for from it they get their only winter cash. The name came from the gathering of galax leaves, an evergreen i d e a for wreaths. But the "galackers" long ago broadened their field to include the picking of any sort of evergreen and the manufacture of various decorations.

FIRST SCHOOL FOR
 FOOD HANDLERS IS
 HELD AT KET(HIKAN

KETCHIKAN. Alaska - Alaska s first school for food handlers, con- ducted here under the joint spon- sorship of the Territorial Depart ment of Health and the Ketchikan Health Center, closed with the awarding of certificates of merit to 131 food handlers who com pleted the series of three lessons. Representatives of all but two es- tablishments, in business at the time the school was held, attended the training course.
 The purpose of the school was to familiarize operators and employees of public food and drink establish ments with high standards of sani- tation and cleanliness in preparing food for public consumption.
 Dr. Dwight L. Cramer, Ketchi- kan Health Officer, commenting on the success of the school said :: "Ketchikan should be proud of the fact that 1t has shown the way for a better understanding of proper food handling practices in the Ter ritory. Food handlers, by making daily use of the knowledge ac- quired, can do much toward pre- venting the spread of communi- cable diseases through food"
 Expressions of interest and con- mendation regarding the school were received from Ketchikan city officials, food handling personnel, and other citizens.
 Similar schools will be conducted in the larger cities in the Territory within the next several months, with one to be held in Juneau in January or February.

Reindeer Often Figure in Northern Myth and Legend

Reindeer figure often in northern myth and folklore. In one version of the legend of wsyland, the smith, Wayland and his two brothers leave Finland for the south on their rein deer drawn sleighs. The mountain elves try to stop them and Way lands brothers lash their reindeer to force them by the elves. Angry because the three are deserting their homes, but even more because of the blows given the patient deer, the elves curse the two brothers, sing ing:
 Because Slagfid struck his
 reindeer
 Because Eigel struck his rein
 deer
 Our hatred shall follow you"
 Wayland they also curse for leav- ing Finland, but because he struck not his reindeer" the curse is mild CT The two brothers die violently and tragically, but Wayland, after many troubles, wins back the wife he had lost and becomes the Smith of the Gods"

Christmas
 Rose Is HeIIebore

Christmas Rose is the name popu- larly ascribed to the Helleborus ni- ger (black hellebore) because it blooms around the Christmas sea- son, sometimes under the snow.

The flowers, nearly 212 inches wide, are white or pinkish-green and are found in southern and central Europe.

INFLUENCED CUSTOMS

The Germans, perhaps more than any other colonists, influenced Christmas customs in the United States, which celebrates Christmas more extensively than any other.
