MAJOR CRITICISM

Of the OPA is that II has not stop
ped the advancing tide of rising
prices. That criticism OF oPA Is
somewhat unfair because oPA is
but one arm OF government and
could not control action OF other
governmental agencies. But most
serious criticism OF the pricing
agency Is that II arbitrarily permits
the price of a new product and Oft
time an inferior product. by new
firm to return a profit TO the manu-
faciurer. the wholesaler and the re-
taller while at the same time OPA
denies the original manufacturer
OF a similar product TO raise prices

Court He Also Euts
Glass and Bullets

Defendants in Municipal Court
often 60 to great lengths to prove
their alibis, but Charles Williams
Bullock, 81, colored, probably topped
them all yesterday. He chewed up
a razor blade on the witness stand.
Mr.. Bullock, of the 300 block OF
Hughes court NV, was charged
with breaking a jewelry store win-
dow September IA. Police had testi-
fed they arrived within two minutes
tafter hearing burglar, alarm, to
find Mr.. Bullock, with fragments Of
glass on his hat, the only person in
the block.
The defendant astonished the
court by testifying he had just come
from eating q drinking glass for
guests at a wedding. and his hat,
lying on table, had caught some
Of the crumbs" He added he had
entertained troops overseas in the
Army Service Forces by eating glass,
razor blades and bullets.
That was two weeks ago. Judge
George D. Nelson continued the case
for investigation. Yesterday Mr..
Bullock again took the stand. Be-
fore Judge Nelson knew what was
happening, Mr.. Bullock popped q
piece of razor blade in his mouth
and chewed 1t up.
Assistant United States Attorney
Andrew Howard gasped. The Judge
too. had seen enough. Previous as
sertions by defense attorney Lewis
E. Barnes and witnesses that they
had seen Mr.. Bullock eat glass, evi-
dence that no one saw him break
the window and the fact that Moth
ing was taken from the store pro-
vided q reasonable doubt Of his guilt,
said the jurist.

The power to heal, to protect
against sickness, to perform magic
deeds-all these and more are the
qualities ascribed to this plant in
legends, traditions and even in an
cient histories and literature.
Mistletoe is a parasite, which in
tests branches of various trees of
both hardwood and conifers, but
mainly on hardwoods. One species
is found exclusively, however, on
conifers.
Among the Celts and others mis-
tletoe which grew from the oak was
considered to have peculiar magical
virtues not possessed by that from
any other trees. Some even con-
sidered it so rare as to be only cut
with a gold knife.
Another old tradition is that the
mistletoe supplied the wood for the
holy cross, as previous to that time
it was a forest tree but after the
crucifixion was condemned to exist
only as a dwarf parasite.
M~istletoe was taken over into the
Christian tradition in due course
and dedicated to the Christ Child.
An old rhyme reads:
The mistletoe bough
At our Christmas board
Shall hang to the honor
Of Christ our Lord.

Electric Cords

Misused electric cords can be dam
gerous. Used properly a cord will
serve safely for years. Never mis-
use a cord by putting it under a
rug where it will be stepped on and
worn, or hang it over a nail, or run
it through a doorway where it can
be pinched. Such misuse may cas-
lily start a fire.
Laurel outlook., 1946-12-18
Selecting Rugs

In selecting rugs the question OF
size is very important. If a rug is
too small, it contacts the visual size
of the room and tends to crowd the
grouping of the furniture. In the
average room, the rug should have
not more than a foot of floor mar
gin. Floor coverings of unrelieved
solid color tend to disturb color bal
ance in a room and for that reason
are hard to use in arriving at
honey, livable effects. Such mono
tone emphasis on the floor may
have an unbalancing result similar
to that produced, for example, by a
breakfront 8 feet long dominat-
ing the side of a 12-foot room.

W2isflefoe distinct
Ms Nak Decoration

M~istletoe, that distinctive Christ
mas green Sc common in many parts
of America, is usually thought of as
merely good holiday decoration or
as a creator of open season on ladies
fair for otherwise bashful SWANS.
Mistletoe did not always hold this
position in our lives. The Druids
called it "all-heal," and thought it
held many miraculous virtues. The
Scandinavians dedicated it to their
goddess of love, Friga. Probably
this goddess of love is responsible
for the custom of kissing under the
mistletoe.
