Real Santa Claus
Il Youthful Saint

The name of Santa Claus is mere
ly slurring the Dutch San Nicholas,
which is, of course, st. Nicholas.
American children are probably the
only ones who say it exactly that
way.
Nicholas was an actual person.
He was Bishop of Myra, in Lycia,
Asia Minor, in the first part of the
fourth century. He was also the
youngest bishop in the history of the
church.
From the day Of his birth Nicho-
las revealed his piety and grace.
He refused on fast days to take
the natural nourishment Of child.
But Nicholas was not a barefoot
recluse vowed to poverty. His fa-
ther was wealthy merchant, and
his riches enabled him to be q dis.
penser Of the good things of life.
The feast Of st. Nicholas was
originally celebrated on December
6. Later, when church people in the
late Middle Ages tried to suppress
the festivities which grew up
around the Boy Saints day. his
festival came to be associated with
Christmas day.

Christmas TOYS
For Every Need

Be a careful shopper when you
select Christmas toys.
Just as there are different types
of toys for each age level, so there
are toys that serve different pur-
poses in each age group.
There are manipulative toys, toys
for physical development, balance
and skill, toys for dramatic, imag-
NATIVE play. toys to teach arts and
handicrafts, and toys to encourage
an interest in nature, science, hob
bieS and pets.
A child needs some Of each in the
form best adapted to his age level.
Toys for babies should be selected
primarily from the standpoint Of
safety. They should have no sharp
edges, no loose parts small enough
to be swallowed. Animals with eyes
glued or pinned on, toys covered
with poisonous paint or made OF
glass or china are taboo. The best
choice is something that can be
washed when it becomes soiled.

Ton store window. There were two
but Anna much preferred the one
with the white collar. Always she
had pointed out her wants to Jim
and he would say, "Go get it." But
tonight Jim seemed too tired to
even glance at the store window.
Anna was quiet for block, wait
ing for Jim to say, 20. K. Pick it
up tomorrow"
INSTEAD Jim began talking about
weekend fishing trip planned
for mid-August. Anna almost gave
up hope.
On the fifth of July she spread
out material on the kitchen table
and began pinning pattern on it.
She had always hated making
dresses for herself and would not
have attempted this time If her
family had been-cooperative. In
an hour Anna was crying softly
to herself. The dress was going to
be unsatisfactory, and besides what
Of a coat, hat, shoes and all those
extra things?
Remembering the many times
she had outfitted them all to
the last detail, Anna could have
shook them, separately or togeth-
er. She would not actually ask for
money If she travelled in q burlap
sack, she told herself.

It would happen that It was the
very next day that both Lillian
and Ruth checked up" on her to
see if the canning was done and
the fussy slips all made.
''Everything's ready-but mel
Anna told them pointedly.
'Oh, you'll make It," Lillian as
sured her, comfortably.
Anna wasn't sure that she want
ed to. She wished for an excuse to
stay at home. There were times
when she admitted to few doubts
on whether she had the most
thoughtful family, ever.
The day that Anna began haul
ing old suitcases from the attic
Jim came home early. Anna was
looking at the suitcases with dis
gust. They were relics.
kind Of old, aren't they?" Jim
asked her.
'They were old in 1900" Anna
told him. She waited eXpectantly
for Jim to say, Here, take this.

But, Jim sat down to his news
paper. Neither did the girls make
any comment when the saw the
ancient suitcases.
Anna was desperate. From her
jewel box she removed the broach
her mother had left her years previ-
Gus and hurried to the jewelry
store. Her thoughts were bitter.
That she should be forced to pawn
her treasured broach to provide
just ordinary clothing for her trip!
She wondered if old maids really
deserved pity after all.
The jeweler was an old friend
and looked at her in wonderment

There came the momentous day
that Jim placed a very business
like envelope on her plate at din
ner. Anna opened it, expecting the
check for her clothes. Instead 1t
was her train ticket and sleeping
car reservation. Jim gave a hearty
laugh, "Just wanted you to be sure
you could CO." he told her. well
pleased with himself.
Anna opened her mouth to say
she had known all along a ticket
was required unless she walked,
but how about some money? Then
she decided to wait. The family
would like to think it surprised her.
At least it was comforting to know
they were well able to provide for
her.
From then on every place they
went Jim had her take the long tick
ct from her purse and show it off.
Annals smile began to wear thin at
the corners as the family forgot the
check in their pride Of her ticket.

a big effort to have Jim see a new

Great Royal Feaas
Once Marked YuLe

A modern Christmas dinner is .
mere ''snack" compared to the
royal Yule banquets of Kings and
Queens in history.
For one of Edward IITs Christ
mas feasts 1000 oxen were pre-
pared. The guests ate as much as
they could and the vast leftovers
were distributed to anyone who
happened to come along. Edward
was the first English king to en-
ploy French cooks for Christmas
feast.
When Henry III spent Christmas
of 1241 at Gloucester. he ordered
the sheriff to buy 20 large salmon
to put into pies for the Christmas
dinner. Richard II feasted 10000
people at a banquet in 1899. He
kept more than 1000 cooks. each
of whom specialized in one kind
of food.

Hang Stockings
For Santa Claus

Why have stockings come to be
a traditional receptacle for Christ
mas gifts?
Although historians can give no
authentic answer, they point out
that children's stockings are usual
ly hung by the chimney to keep
warm or dry out, so it was natural
that Santa Claus should pick them
as the place in which to deposit
gifts.
In certain regions of France it is
the shoe that is put out on Christ
mas Eve. Some authorities say
that shoes and stockings were put
near the fireplace for the same
reason that an old boot was asso-
ciated with wedding-in order
to bring good luck and drive away
evil spirits.

Yule Record Begins
In Fifth Century

There is no mention Of Chris
tian observance Of December, IS as
Christmas before the fifth century.
There is, in fact, no record to in
dicate what date Jesus was born.
Various researchers have set the
day as January 6, March Is, May
20, April 10 and November II. In
order to win Christian converts
away from their observance of the
pagan midwinter festival, early
churchmen induced them to OBJ
serve the birth of Christ Jesus at
that time instead. Thus December
25 came to be established as Christ

Her last hope was gone.
"It's something like the earrings

Anna never knew what she an

Anna even saw three pairs of new
shoes wrapped in towels. She
gasped and looked at the label of
the top-most dress. 1t was too much
to expect that the things would
fit
'Oa, they'll ft," Ruth told her
proudly. 1--WE certainly checked
and rechecked." She unfolded one
dress and Anna saw it was the
companion dress to the one she
had forced Jim to view. Trust Jim
to remember the wrong one!
Anna was stunned. She tried to
say, "You were wonderful" but
the words stuck. Lillian was open
ing a jewel case to display q pair
of earrings. ITO match your good
broach," she explained.
That brought a tear to Annals
eyes. They had tried to help. They
had been thoughtful, in their way.
The anxiety they had caused her
they would never know.
Ruth was proudly showing her
the fussy silk underwear that An
ma didn't like Jim was beaming all

A NINA FARRANT read the letter

But it was like Anna Farrant to
fold the letter neatly and 60 on
about the business of getting din
ner for Jim, Ruth and Lillian with
out even so much as taking time to
call one of them on the phone to
tell them the good news.
It was after dinner that she told
them. 1t came all in happy rush
of words. "Belle Mandrel has asked
me to visit her. Imagine!-clear

There was a long silence. 1t was
Ruth, the librarian, who spoke first.
Ruth was as proud of her knowl-
edge of Important People as of
books. Almost reverently she
breathed, mot the Belle Mandrel

Anna felt cross for an instant.
Her memory of Belle Mandrel was
the happy-go-lucky girl of their col
lege days. Ruth was thinking of the
Belle Mandrel who was an impor-
tant adviser to the politicians and
who last week visited the king of
England.

asked.

Swered almost like pronounce
ment. 1t had been easier than she
had hoped. They were the finest
family ever to be in favor of her
going on that long trip.
In the days that followed Anna
was to retell her plans for the trip
dozens of times. Everyone was in
terested to find that she was a
friend of the great Belle Mandrel.
There was a short write-up in the
newspaper about Annals trip.
Lillian worried over what she
would do without a big supply of
the satin slips her mother made for
her. In her competent way Anna
told her that she would make an
extra supply before she left. Fuss
ing over the satin, she knew she
could have told Lillian to buy her
slips at the store but Lillian had
been babied too long, Anna told her
self with a happy smile.
Very shortly Ruth, knowing she
would be cook while her mother
was away. fretted that she would
be left with lots of canning. Anna
assured her she would get it in
before she left. The house, Of
course, must be spotless.
It was in one of the few breath
ing spells Anna allowed herself
that she rummaged around in her
clothes closet and decided that
scarcely any of her clothes were
suitable for the fifth of August. They
were fine for small town church
societies but Anna wanted to look
nice when she started on the trip.
The family would want her to look
well too. She wondered if one of the
girls-or Jim would slip her a nice
check and suggest she buy a new
outfit. It was going to be fun!

Not that America and the Amer

selves to the necessities of strange
and anxious times with all the cour-
age-yes, and the laughter-for
which we are famous. Our chill
dren and grandchildren will grow
into stronger America even than
the one we know, an America that
appreciates the miracle of its ex-
istcnce and its power.
We can sail straight through all
rough weather if we lift our hearts
now to the power above all earth
ly powers and put our hands con-
fidently into the hand that will not
let us go. 1t was in the name of
God that we began our story.
Ride Out the Storm.
We can't influence great interna-
tional groups to come back to God.
We can't stem the terrible force
of events already in motion. But
you and l, safe in the obscurity of
our own simple, small-town lives,
Ndil DCSlli " anu SlICllSlIl-
en- our own souls and minds to ride
out the storm.
Right in your home and mind, the
greatest philosophy ever voiced can
live as it did 1000 years ago in a
carpenters shop in Nazareth. 1t is
the only law. You can find it by sim
ply thinking of it, wondering about
it and finally accepting it. Not all
the thousands of magazine and
newspaper articles that flood us to-
day, boiled down into one, say more
than does any line of that law.
1t says that hate and fear only
beget more hate and fear. That
swords and guns are but puny
things, destined to fall into rust
and decay That the overwhelming,
the irresistible weapon is trust, is
goodness, is brotherhood That to
meet the onrushing foe with this
armament is to disarm and con-
quer him by law higher than he
dreams. Had those who call them
selves His followers kept this law,
through all the hot ages of bitter
warfare. we would not be where
we are today The word war"
would have been long forgotten.
We can't go back But every one
of us who clings to this law is
safe. And some of us NAV live to
see the miracle hidden in the old
rule. Overcome not evil with evil,
but overcome evil with good.
