Christmas Rose Is
 HoIIowed By Legend

The delicate beauty of the Christmas-rose (helleborus niger) is hallowed by legend. A poor shep- herd girl. the story goes, wept bitterly as she watched the Wise Men on their way to the Christ Child bearing rich gifts when she had nothing An angel appeared. Upon learning the reason for the girls distress, the angel caused the ground to be carpeted with shining white flowers. The young shepherdess gathered some blos- sons. When she presented her gift, the Infant smiled and as His fingers touched the white flowers, the petals became tinged witt pink.

HEALTH FOR ALL
The Forgotten Man

In this week between Christ mas and New Years day the nwspapers, radio, and TV are re- calling the events of the year just ending. The trends are analysed and predications are made. In a smaller way, families are going through the same process which comes to a head on New Years Eve with resolutions for the coming year.
 While resolutions are still be- ing considered, may we enter a plea for the forgotten man, Fath- CT. Plenty of attention is paid to the health of the very young and the very old, but the man in the middle-the man who does the worlds work and pays the bills is too often forgotten. He's a pretty important guy. If he does ent keep well, we're all in trouble.
 Let's do a little analyzing to find out whether he is keeping well. One study made in indus trial plants this past year lndl- cates that a good many fathers aren't eating a healthy diet. Il was found that the majority were having coffee and roll fol breakfast. easing mid-mornlng hunger with high calorie snackS like candy bars, grabbing q sand wich and coffee for lunch. Malnu triton ard obesity were entirely too common. Only one square meal a day, diet low in pro tective foods, such as milk, frui and green vegetables-it's an in vitation to trouble.
 And Father is having trouble toe. Statistics show that there i!

INQUIRIES INDICATE
 BIG TOURIST SEASON

Hundreds of inquiries about travel in Alaska are pouring in to the office of the Alaska Visitors Association during the winter months, according to Bernice Morgan, executive secretary of the Association.
 If the interest shown in this correspondence is any indication of the volume of tourist traffic for the coming year, we can pre- dict a boom year for the 1855 Al aska tourist season, she stated.
 Any one who has information about musical contributions made by Alaskans, either in recordings, or printed form, are asked to write this to the Juneau office of the Alaska Visitors Association. A survey of Alaskan music IS be- ing made in the interest of tour ist information.

more serious illness, more deaths among men of middle years than among women. They have more tuberculosis, for instance. Yet we know that a healthy, well-nour- ished person can usually fight TB germs to a standstill.
 If Father isn't taking proper care of his health, isn't eating right or getting enough sleep, rest, and recreation, we can re- solve to do something about it. It may take some managing to help him take reasonable care of his health and to get him to the doctors office for the physical examination and chest X-ray he should have regularly. Possibly, however, if Father is made to realize that he is appreciated more than just ore day a year, he'll cooperate.

LEGEND SAYS CHRISTMAS TREES CAME FROM EGYPT

Legend has it that the Christ mas tree originated in Egypt, where the first trees used were palm trees.
 The Germans brought the tree to America, however, as they also introduced it to England. The German Prince Albert, consort of Queen Victoria, introduced the first tree into England when he had tree for his young daughter.
 Martin Luther is said to have brought the first Christmas tree indoors for decoration, early in the 18th century.
 When you fasten ornaments to your tree this year you will be commemorating a centruies-old Arabian legend that relates how plants blossomed and lowered and trees miraculously bore rip ened fruit or the eve of the first Christmas.

Industry Steel Cost
Seen Increasing by
S225 Million Yearly
BY the As.osis..d Pres.

NEW YORK, July THE
new increases in the price of
steel will raise the steel bill OF
the Nations manufacturers an
estimated $225 million q year,
Iron Age, the national metal
working weekly. said today.
The wage settlement in the
steel industry followed by the
price boost has given the metal
working companies two. new ma
jor problems. the publication
added.
l. What will they do about
their own wages?
2. Should they absorb the
steel price rise or try to pass it
on to their customers in highly
competitive market?
Wages More Serious.
The question of wages is the
more serious OF the two prob
lens, said Iron Age. because it
will involve more money. Many
companies, it added, will face
strong pressure to follow the pat
tern OF the steel wage agreement
which provides for a 5-cent-per-
hour wage hike and other bene-
fits bringing the cost Of the
package" to about 10 cents an
hour.
Iron Age said that steel con-
sumers will have to pay an av-
!erage Of about 1925 q ton more
for steel, some products having
been boosted more than So q ton
and some less than that.
/ The publication said that al
though not all producers have
yet announced higher prices, it
rs estimated that the Iron Age
finished steel base composite will
rise 1924 a ton to $95.92 per net
ton. This price composite is
weighted index of base prices on
steel bars, shapes, plates, wire,
rails, black pipe, hot and cold
rolled sheets and strip.
Blamed ON Holiday.
Steelmaking operations this
week are scheduled at GAS per
cent of rated capacity, three
points lower than the previous
week. The relatively low rate is
due largely to the July 4 holiday.
July is expected to be slow
month due to shutdowns for va
cations by many steel-consuming
plants and over-ordering by
some consumers during June.
Iron Age said the market is
expected to show some improve
ment in August. 1t added that
hedge buying because of a feared
steel strike was not widespread
and there are few order cancel
lationS.
Steelmaking scrap prices
edged down for the fifth con-
Secutive week.
