Symbol of Christmas
 Love, The Mistletoe Rated Public Enemy By Aussies

The -thrower and atomic energy - lethal instruments bor- rowed from modern warfare-are out to kill that ancient symbol of peacemaking and love, the Christmas rnistletoe.
 The unusual battle front is Australia where too many valu- able trees each year have been receiving the kiss of death from the harmless looking shrub. Des- bite mistletoe's popular reputa- ton as the Yuletide promoter of romance, it is a public-enemy parasite in the woodlands, killing off the trees that play it host.
 Australian foresters have fin ally resorted to the flame-throw- CT as quick executioner for the plant and are using radioactive tracers, furnished by the US. Atomic Energy Commission, to study how. the mistletoe saps the water and mineral salts from the trees, starving them to death.

Christmas Mass In Rome

Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve is the event of the year in Rome.
 Every Roman Catholic church in the Holy City is crowded with men, women and children anx- ious to see the processions of church officials in their splendid robes. The larger the church, the more beautiful the sight. And, of course, the service at St. Peters is the most magnificent in the world.
 At St. Peters all the men pres ent are required to wear evening clothes and the ladies must be dressed in black, thus offsetting the brilliant beauty of the robes. Even the guards on duty are at tired in elegant red and white uniforms.

|Age-OId Legends Support
Popular Symbols of Easter

NEW YORK, Mar. % (NANA)
The popular symbols of Easter
from colored eggs to frilly new
Easter bonnets, have age-olo
legends to support them.
New Easter clothes were be.

year, said Jeanette Lee, art sup

Card Co. An old English verse
says:

Good luck was associated with
seeing either a lamb or a blue bird

then exchanged between friends
during the Easter season.
Eggs were originally associated
with Easter because at one time
church law forbade them being
eaten during Lent and so they
were served in abundance en-
Easter.
Folk lore also says that the
Easter lily was protection against
IWitchcraft and it was believed to
have the power to restore human
form to those fallen under en-
Ichantment.
Easter sunrise services, said
Mrs. Lee, may have had their root
in a legend that the sun dances
for joy on Easter morning. Peo-
Iple frequently climbed a high hill

dawn.

Wandering Garter Snake
Is q School Fuvorite
BY the Assoeiofed Press

WINNIPEG.-"Oscar," a foot.
long garter snake, is favorite in
the science room at Lord Selkirk
school here. The snake, f1ashy
combination of green, yellow
creamy white and gray, found his
way to school last September with
an assist from a lad who plucked
him from a nearby ditch.
From his glass case he views
skulls of cattle, stuffed owls
pinned-up butterflies and other
natural history exhibits. Twice
he has slipped out of his case
and vanished.
The first time he made his way
down a flight Of stairs to the first
floor. On the other occasion he
got mixed up with some of the
school furniture and it was weeks
before his hiding place was I'M
covered.

Who Is
Truly Great

We don't honor man as truly
great unless he does something
TO benefit others. Maybe once
men honored a man because he
could beat up" everybody else.
more than three thousand years
ago Sargon The First was power
1ul enough to boss everyone in
ms country. He made them fight
Tor him. He marched from coun.
try to country, plundering as he
went, until he came to the cliffs
OF the Dog River in Syria and
cut his name there where you
can still see it. Men may have
honored him then; but when Hit
Ter tried to act like that, we held
MIN in contempt. The world has
a little bit learned the truth in
these words of Jesus, when He
said, IF any man desire to be
first, the same shall be last of
all, and servant of ALL" Only
men who serve their fellow ner
are truly great.

VIC VET SAYS

Veterans who submitted appli-
cations and required premiums
for renewal or conversion of
their leveI-pren1iuE2 term Nation
al Service Life Insurance policy
on the day after expiration date
are being advised by the Veter-
ans Administration they will be
permitted to pick up renewed
contracts if so desired.
This privilege is granted after
the VA Insurance Service deter
mined that the letter which mott
fled policy holders of the necessi'
ty of renewal or conversion be-
fore expiration date of the term
period appeared misleading in
some instances. VA pointed out
that some veterans interpreted
the VA letter to mean that sub,
mission of renewal applications
and required premiums was &C.
ceptable on the day after expiry
date.
VA explained that veterans
caught in this predicament and
who still desire NSLI on 5-year
Ilevel-premium term plan, or on
a permanent plan, may have
their contract renewed provided
all premiums are paid from the
date of his original application
for renewal or conversion thro
ugh the current month.
1t was stressed that premium
payments must be submitted &c
ithe VA within 80 days from the
date of the letter sent the vet
eran.
Q-My NSLI term policy is
isoon due to expire. May renew
lit for an additional term period
at my attained age, or does the
new free insurance" law pre-
vent me from doing so?
A-The insurance may be re
newed for an additional tern
period, provided you do so be
fore your insurance expires. Once
! the insurance expires, it may moi
: be renewed.
Q-Is there any time limit fol
filing claims for funeral expenses
for a deceased veteran who serV
ed after the outbreak of the kor
can hostitalities?
Ayes. Claims must be flee
with the VA within two years
from the date of permanent bur
lial.

Siunis Coming Money ior Browns

ST. LOUIS, Aug 30-tR-Show- man Bill Weeks unrestrained eff forts to set the turnstiles spinning at Sportsman's Park are beginning to pay dividends.
 Since it became known July 4 that the fuzzy-haired impresario was taking over the St. Louis Browns, attendance has jumped to a total of 138,550 for 20 playing dates here. That doesn't break any records, but it's 40,588 more than the Browns attracted on 24 play ing dates earlier in the season.
 The fans have come to expect some sort of stunt with every game.
 vceck staged q real extravaganza yesterday as the Browns played the Detroit Tigers in double header. II was complete with a midget pinch batter and clown coach at first base not to men,
 tion band music fireworks, aero battles and juggling acts.
 The Browns dropped both games, 5-2 and 6-2, but the contest between the second division clubs drew 18,369 fans, the largest crowd for the Browns here in more than four years.
