Many Relics of St. Nicholas Still
 Are Enshrined in Southern Italy

story that St. Nicholas once saved three girls from a life of vice by throwing purses of gold through a window in Patara, thus permitting a poverty-stricken nobleman to give his daughters suitable dowries as custom demanded.
 And St. Nicholas is credited with restoring life to three boys who had been slain and dismembered by wicked innkeeper of Myra-that is why we occasionally see stained glass windows in which the saint is shown beside three lads in tub.
 So the legends multiplied, and especially did they become popular in Holland and Belgium. There, too, the children put their wooden shoes before the fireplace on Christmas Eve, and confidently expected that good behavior of recent weeks would be rewarded. Bad children; O course, found only ashes and whips in their shoes.

CHRISTMAS TREE AND DECORATORS
 ARE FIRE HAZARD

Fine hazards lutk in ycur Christ mas tree and in the decorations that make it gay. Carefuiness is there fore the vatchwo1d il order to ple- vent tragic accidents.
 A lew sensible precautions, plus thc use cf fireprcofing chemicals, can provida you with insurance against damage
 First cf all remember that @ fIssh-cut tree will not take fire any mere easily during the first day or two than would tic evergreen shrub growing outside your window. But the fns hazard grows after that.
 So the best procedure is to bring in a fresh tree as short time be- fore Xmas as possible and remove it as son afterwards as you can. Be careful in placing your tree in the 'cme. Set it vel away from stoves, rfdietogs and other sources of heat. Atcye all, when you smoke, keep awsy from the tree.
 If you want to keep your tree from week CT mere before Christmas until after New Years day, special safeguards arc necessary. One Of theoa is to see that the base q the tree stands in a contaiAer. Of water Cut eff the base cf the tree at an angle at least one inch above the original cut ard see that tts water level is always kept above the cut. This helps keep the tree fresh and reduces the chances Of fire.
 Another and important safeguard is to use g chemical nameproofing solution.
 Dissolve one pound of sodium chlerita in cna and cne-haE pinJs of water. That will take care of tree weighing approxime ely four pounds. If the tree weighs eight pounds, use two pounds of chemical ard three pints of water
 Put the solution in the container in which the tree stands. Let the tree soak up as much of the chcmi- cal solution as possible Tn case calcium chlorida is not available, ammonium sulfste will be highly satisfactory.

CONSTRUCTIVE TOYS
 MAKE BETTER CTS

When you huy toys for children, give thought to their constructive qualities. Eow much can they do with the gifts you are providing them? Will they soon tire of them and go back to the good old spoons and pans in the cupboard that they c2n do SO many things with? If you huy a doll, get enc that csn be dressed, bathed and brushed If a boy wants doll let him have 1t. Fathers love children.
 Growing children need big toys that require lifting, tugging, run- ring movement of muscles. Blocks are ideal. Think of the things that can be done with theml One car penter out of work made quite a gcod thing last Christmas Of chil- oren's blocks He collected odds and ends of boards at the lumber yard planed them off smoothly, painted them gay colors and sold them in lots of a dozen up to 100. Wagons, cars, scooters, skates, sleds, and skis are good. But the toy should suit the age of the recipient Every boy should have a ball of some kind. Boys like trains, but wooden blocks painted to resemble cars are better than the kinds that can only run on tracks Girls are pleased with rolling pins, doll beds, houses, trunks, small chairs and tables, and dishes.

REpiOBATUs BECOMES
 ST. CHRISTOPHER AND
 ANSWERS CHRIST'S GALL

Reprobesus was young giant whrse neathen philosophies prompt cd him to desert one master after another whenever he found a mas ter stronger than the one he then served.
 Noticing that the mighty Pharaoh feared Satan Reprobatus deserted Pharaoh to serve Satan; perceiving that the Devil himself was startled by the cross, he left the services of Satan and went in search of Christ.
 When he refused to pray, he was commanded to do penance and given the task of carrying travellers across a deep river.
 On Christmas Eve a voice called for Reprobatus and, answering the summons, he found a very small child waiting to be carried across the river. When he had placed the little one upon his shoulder, the burden of his weight nearly bowed Reprobatus to the ground.
 You are, indeed, as heavy as the world declared Reprobatus.
 T created the world" replied the child. T redeemed the world and 1 bear the sins of the world''
 Reprobatus was no longer heather giant; he was Christofera, the bearer of Christ. as St Chris topher, he is the Goliath of the Saints, patron of all travellers; his is a palm stem which Christ bade him thrust into the soil wherefore the date palm is said to blossom and bear fruit at Christ mas time.

To the residents of the town of Bari, Italy, the possession of a saints body meant much in the ear ly 11th century. That is why all that is mortal of Santa Claus-otherwis St. Nicholas, the bishop of Myra, in Asia Minor-now rests in Bari.
 The body was stolen from it's origi- nal tomb in Myra by Italian sailors, who thought as most Europeans thought back in l087, that a saints body brought prosperity and good luck to a town. Even an arm or a toe was rated highly among civic possessions.
 However. once buried again in Bari, the saints body was credited with curing 30 people of distemper and performing other miracles. So Bari became a place of pilgrimage and the legends about St. Nicholas multiplied apace.

Philadelphia Story
At Cain Park

philadelphia Story is a hill
arious comedy written by Phil
lip Barry. It has to do with a
wealthy Philadelphia family
whose action, both fathers and
daughters, are not always gov
erned by convention.
Tracy, the daughter, is about
to be married again (the first
marriage was unsuccessfuD and
a reporter and photographer
move in upon the family to write
up the story for society. The
author uses the familiar trick of
confusion of identity of players
as the reporters attempt to COW
er up their identity and the fam
lily (who have been Tipped Off
attempted to conceal their fam
lily skeletons.
Mr.. Barry's style is buoyant,
his Psychology sound and his
characters are witty, worldly
folks. The bride is married in
the last act, but not to the
groom of the first act; credit
for which can be taken by the
news people and one small sis
ter, Dinah.
In the Cain Park production
which opens Aug. II, Tracy is
played by Mary Jane Chiles, her
mother by Dina Rees Evans and
her father by Beaumont Breus-
tie, while small Dinah is Doris
Eppinger. Dexter, Tracy's first
husband, is Walter Reiner and
her fiance is Robley Evans
Mike, the reporter is Cliff Goth
ran and Liz, the photographer is
Orella Dabney. Sandy, Tracy's
brother, whose past is not al.
ways an open book, is Lynn
Sheldon and Uncle Willie, favor.
ite of the family, is Sidney
Spayde.
This play has been highly
popular on Broadway and also
helped make Katherine Hepburn
a screen favorite. 1t is excellent
summer entertainment.
