In Medieval England, the peacock
was served with all his brilliant

and honored to do so.
To serve him whole. the bird was
dayed-skin and feathers together;
care was taken to leave the head
attached to the skin and the neck
bone unbroken.
Having been roasted and allowed
to cool. the peacock was wrapped in
his feathers and propped upon q
tray-as he was wont to sit when
alive, showing off his magnificent
tail; a sponge, saturated with spir-
its, was placed in his gilded beak
and lighted as the bird was being
served-but for all his good looks,
the peacock was cold and dry when
eaten.

Santa Claus Is Having Busiest
Year Of All; Many Packages

Santa Claus, Ind.-This is the
busiest year Santa Claus ever had.
Postmaster Oscar Phillips, who
needs padding to look like the
children's saint, says the post
office in his little country store
probably will handle more than
a million letters and packages this
month.
A dozen extra helpers, mostly
housewives, sort and postmark
about 10000 pieces of mail each
day. The piles overflow onto the
grocery shelves, but Phillips has
moved the ketchup and crackers
out of the way. 3D.. ...
The postmaster is a genial chap,
even though his girth is a little
disappointing, and he enjoys the
holiday rush. So do the other
residents of this 15-dwelling,
Southern Indiana hill town.
The community lies outside the
lush corn and hog belt of upper
Indiana and extra income result
ing from its name is gratefully
received.
The memory of Jim Martin
helps keep the Christmas spirit
alive in Santa Claus.
Martin was postmaster-mer-
chant here for thirty years until
his death in 1885. Letters ad-
dressed to Santa Claus in childish
scrawls, once routed to the dead
letter office, were forwarded to
Martin. He answered as many as
he could and sent to some chill
dren he guessed would have no
Christmas otherwise.
The Santa Claus American Le-
gion post has taken over the task.
With help from volunteers who
believe in a merry Christmas, it
has answered some $4,000 letters
this year. Legionnaire Jim Yellig
went to Evansville this week end
to collect more money for the
posts stamp fund, and Evansville
40 & 8 chapter helped gather
small change from Christmas
shoppers.

tainer of water. Cut off the base Of
the tree at an angle at least / inch
above the original cut and see that
the 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 a chemical fameproofing
solution.
Dissolve one pound of sodium
chloride in one and One-haIf pints
of water. That will take care
of a tree that weighs apprOxi-
mately four pounds. If the tree
weighs eight pounds, use two
pounds of chemical and three
pintS of water.

FISHING AS
A HOBBY

Twenty-six members and guests
of the Lions Club were present at
the meeting of the Club, on Thursday
evening of last week, in the dining
room of the Methodist church.
Following routine business, and
TIE serving of splendid baked ham
dinner by the ladies of Circle No. l.,
w. S. C. S., Lion Graham, of the Pro-
gram Committee, introduced the
speaker of the evening, Theodore H.
Brown, better known to all of his
associates as Ted" who is an enthu-
siastic fisherman and thoroughgo-
ing sportsman The program chair
man stated Mr.. Brown had been re-
sponsibile for the organization of the
Rising Sun Sportsmen's Club, one
of the most going concerns of its
kind in the State, and similar clubs
at Conowingo, Oakwood and Cecil
ton.
Tied" spoke on kis hobby, "Fish-
ing," and after telling of the efforts
Of the club to promote forestation,
soil conservation, game and fish re-
stocking, and the correction of the
shameful, if not criminal pollution
of most of our streams, that has been
permitted, scarcely without any legal
.teps having been taken to prevent it,,
regaled his hearers with amusing
personal experiences in fishing, men
tioning the "big ones" that got away,
and others that were landed.
He kept his audience interested
and convulsed with laughter through
out. The speaker also told what life
in the open does to you, and for you,
painting enchanting word pictures
If the beauties of night fishing, with
he moonlight playing on the quiet
waters of the lake, and the grandeur
Of the early dawn, with the light just
beginning to streak the eastern hori-
;on and the early morning mists lift
ng from the waters.
Listening to the speaker one could
not help but realize how thoroughly
lie appreciates fishing and the un-
bounded pleasure the pastime and
hobby has brought him.
"Ted's" talk was greatly enjoyed
by the club, many of whose members
nave shared the joys, and other ex-
periences not SO joyful, on fishing
expeditions with him.
Mr.. Brown placed on exhibition his
large collection of fishing tackle, rods
reels, etc., and the mounted head of
one of his prize catches of bass.
