animals get special treatment.
The tradition of hanging sheaves
of yellow heavy : headed grain
outside the house in midwinter
is as old as our history. Thousands
of years ago, in the Stone Age, the
belief was that the spirit which lived
in the earth and made things grow,
fled when the grain was cut. The
spirit hid, it was thought, in the
last remaining stalks, that was why
the peasants laid aside the last
sheaf ard kept it. Midwinters, when
the earth was frozen and covered
with snow, and it was dark almost
all day, the Stone Age people hung
this sheaf near the place they lived.
The spirit hiding in it helped the sun
become strong again, and later it
returned to the thawing fields to
bring the people a new harvest of
blessed grain.

BRAZILIAN CHILDREN parade

1t is customary for children in
Brazil to place their shoes in win
dows or doors in hopes of Christmas
gifts, but in big cities the tradi-
tons associated with the North
American Santa Claus are coming
into favor. Since it is summer in
this tropical country in December,
Santa Claus with his fur-trimmed
clothes, sleigh and reindeer seems
a bit incongruous, however.

CHRISTMAS DAY is a holy day
in Italy, and people flock to the nu-
merous churches for the real mer-
rymaking for Italians m on
Christmas Eve, which is much more
of a holiday than Christmas Day
to them. AS the eve of Christmas
is a religious vigil on which no
meat is allowed, the feast has to con-
sist largely of fish. Most Italians
choose eel for this banquet. A GER

VA to Recover Ouerpayments

Veterans administration has TAX
en- steps to comply with the law and
to prevent loss, insofar as possible,
in cases where veterans have ac-
cepted overpayments in subsistence
checks while in education or train
ing.
VA has announced that veterans
who fail to repay these subsistence
overpayments and who later apply
for unemployment or self-employ-
ment allowances will have the
amounts they owe the government
deducted from the latter benefit
checks.
VA explained that federal stat
utes prohibit payment of govern
ment funds to any person indebted
to the U. S. Recovery will be eff
fected through a system of cross
checks instituted with the VA and
state employment compensation
agencies, with a central control in
New York. Veterans who have
made arrangements with VA to re-
pay their Indebtedness are consid-
cred in good standing and are in no
way affected by the new system
since it will be used in cases where
there is no apparent means of re-
covery from sources other than re-
adjustment allowances.
