Holly And Mistletoe
Holly and mistletoe are in
separately linked in holiday
traditions. But a vast differ
ence between the two in their
botanical characters. The holly
draws its nourishment from
the air and earth; the mistle-
toe from live trees. In fact, the
family name is "tree thief"
derived from the habit of at
taching itself to trees from
which it gains the liquid nu-
trients for its livelihood, often
to the death of its host.
Yes, the mistletoe is a weird
plant, indeed. Since earliest re-
corded time supernatural powers
have been attributed to it in
myth, superstition and religion.
1t was the sacred plant of the
Druids of Britain. The writings
of the Persians, Greeks, Ro-
mans and NorSemen attest the
awe in which the plant was
held. These ancients used the
mistletoe as a charm against
all sorts of evils lightning,

SOCIAL
SECURITY

Most people who work for a
living, either as wage earners
or self-employed persons, are
now protected by the Federal
old-ge Aand Survivors Insur-
ance system. Social Security
ttax contributions are made
throughout the working years,
towards a retirement pension
or a survivors pension for GER
tain dependents in case of
death of the wage Garner.
An individual record is kept
for each holder Of a Social Sc
curity number card, and the
amount of benefits paid on any
account is in proportion to the
average amount Of wages in
the account. Thus, it is very
important that each account
is correct, in order that every
thing due will be paid upon
retirement or death. Each
worker can help with the ac-
curacy of his account by let
tingting his employer copy the
name and Social Security num-
ber from his Social Security
card. in order that the wages
will be reported correctly. So
cial Security cards can be OBJ
tanned from the nearest Social
Security field Office.
The Roxbury Office is located

Holly and MistIetoe
Symbols of YuIetide

1.-THE glory OF Lebanon snail
come unto thee, the fir tree,
the pine and the holly together,
to beautify the place of my
sanctuary; and I will make the
place glorious" Isaiah 6o:13.
Dating back back into anti
uuity is the custom of bring
ing green boughs into temples,
churches and homes to symbo-
lize continuing life to diSpel
evil spirits.
Whether the practice origi-
mated as a religious ceremony
of a pagan ritual is not known,
so closely interviewer are the
uses Of evergreens for either
purpose.
BY some it is believed that
the Crown of Thorns was braid
ed of holly and that before the
Crucifixion the berries were
white. but turned crimson like
the drops Of blood.
Superstition
Superstition plays its part, too
in the beliefs pertaining to
evergreen. Even to this day
in certain countries of Europe
if a visitor brings into the
household a Smooth-leaved
holly the wife will rule for the
ensuing year. If the branch
is spiny, the husband will rule.
witches fear holly and
branches placed about doors
and windows will ward off evil
spirits and attract good ones.
A marriage performed in a
grove of hollies is sure to prove
prolific because each tree grows
separately either as a male OF
female individual. Without the
one, the other cannot be fruit
full.
But regardless of its aSsocia
tions in. the long, long ago and
down through the age to the
present time, we love the holly
for what it is itself dis
tinctly beautiful tree.
It is regrettable that our
American holly finds the win
ters of northern New England
too severe to endure. How con-
venient anil delightful it would
be to clip judiciously from our
own trees, a few berry-laden
branches to bring indoors at
Christmas time.
To be sure, there are some
trees north of Boston, but they
survive only in the most favor
able exposures.
The tree is native to Cape
Cod but few Of the thousands
of visitors to the Cape each
year ever see it. Only those who
will penetrate the woodlands
may enjoy its beauty.
Down through the moist for
ests to Florida and across the
Gulf states to Texas, up int
Missouri and Indiana, the hoLl
is at its best. Specimens tW'

Spokesman for the protesting
group was James T. Logan, S25

25 years ago when few Negroes
were able to build new homes.
Logan, who is a Minneapolis
postoffiee motor vehicle division
official told the council although
he works in Minneapolis he pre-
fers to live in st. Paul but cam
not at this time, because of race
prejudice, find lot on which to
move his house.
The speaker pointed out that
there were vacant lots in the next
block but that owners refused to
sell to non-whites.
Commissioner Robert Peterson
proposed that the city use its
powers of eminent domain to con-
denim such vacant lots and then
sell them to the families involved,
but Leonard Seamer, city valua-
ton engineer. pointed out that
was illegal.
Commissioner Milton Rosen
then offered the help of his de-
partment to the families in the
purchase of certain tax-forfeited
lands in the area which have not
been offered for sale heretofore.

Puzzled Over
Yereon's Defense
Of Gov. Byrnes

New York. (ANP)--Max Yer
gan's commentator of the APP
pointment of Gov. James F.
Byrnes to the United States dele
CATION to the United Nations is
incredible, Walter White, ex-
ecutive secretary of the NAACP
said last week in reply to the for
mer executive director of the
Council on African Affairs.
DIR. Yergan, in a letter pub
lshed in New York dailies, said:
The appointment of Gov.
Byrnes to the American delega-
ton is in the interest of this
country and is to be commended"
Ignoring the South Carolina
governors long record of anti
Negro announcements and activ-
ity, DR.. Yergan praised Gov.
Byrnes because of the latter's
anti-communist position. He also
attacked White for his. opposition
to the Byrnes appointment.
Recalling DR. Yergan's earlier
conciliatory statement on Prime
Minister Malan of South Africa,
White, in his reply, said that this
defense Of Byrnes causes one to
wonder what has happened to DR..
Yergan's principles and judge
ment." DR.. Yergan's break with
the Communists was a traumat-
ic experience, White asserted.
But, he added. "this is no excuse
for his loss of perspective or for
his equating aati-communism
with support Of the advocates of
white supremacy.
The NAACP leader pointed TO
the tragic irony" in DR. Yergan's
defense of Byrnes' anti-com-
munism Sin view OF the fact that
when Mr.. Byrnes was Secretary of
State. DR.. Yergan was intimately
associated with the Communists. +"
Recently Yergan has been well
coined in South Africa and other
colonial areas. He Travelled in
Africa last year. but it was never
learned under what auspices he
travelled.

matters under the Jurisdiction OF

In now under consideration by the
White House,
Mitchell pointed out that no
hearings have been held on any OF
the civil rights measures now
pending in Congress. Senator Irv-
ing ives has set hearings on
FEPC for January, 1854, but no
other committees have scheduled
hearing dates.
The late Sen. Charles w. Tobey
tR., N. H. was studying anti
jim-crow travel legislation in his
committee on interstate and fore
ign commerce but no hearing date
had been set at the time OF his
death.
Mitchell recalled that the House
Appropriations Committee singled
out the racial relations service OF
the housing agencies for slash in
funds, but the senators reversed
this action.
He charged the House Appro-
priations Committee with deal
ing a deadly blow TO minority
groups by slashing public hous-
ing. It reduced the number Of pub
lie housing units authorized for
construction from $4,000 to TO-
900 with the stipulation that no
units in excess OF the specified
number could be built or planned
without the consent Of Congress.
The latter provision has the
effect OF hslting construction OF
most Of the $4,000 public housing
units the government already has
under contract.
The house passed the Hawaiian
statehood bill but the senate took
no action.
The senate passed bill to give
the District Of Columbia a nom
voting delegate in the house, but
the house kept the bill pigeon
holed in the committee.
This bill came under fire from
southern elements in congress,
continued Mitchell because they
claimed that colored people would
out.vote whites in the District Of
Columbia.
The senate Judiciary Committee
reported out Of Constitutional
Amendment which would limit the
treaty making power Of the Presi-
dent. It's supporters claimed that
such an amendment was neces-
airy to halt civil rights advances
in the United States.
