Outdoor Decorations
Should Not Harm Your
Home Evergreen Shrubs

1t won't be chilly Christmas
for many outdoor evergreens and
shrubs this year, with outside
home decorations expected to be
even more popular than in past
years.
It's nice TO have bright decora-
tionS outside, tree experts say,
but too many home owners give
their home grounds evergreens
a hot foot Will stringing them
with overly-poWerful Christmas
lights for a blinking, brilliant
colorama.
They offer this advice to pro-
tect trees while utilizing them to
the best advantage in achieving
that beautiful outdoor display:
Use only electrical fixtures de-
signed to be strung on outdoor
trees.
Use bulbs no stronger than l5-
watts. They're bright enough to
be gay and colorful, yet don't
generate enough heat to burn
moliagc, even on direct contact.
Check periodically to deter
mine if needles or foliage are
turning brown in vicinity of
lights. If so, rcarrange the lights.
Not even beautiful light dis
play is worth marring valuable
cVcr2recnS that are a source of
beauty the year round.

Dr.. Moore, Author
OF Night Before
Was Ashamed OF II

Everyone knows and loves the
poem which begins
Twas the night before Christ
mas, when all through the
house
Not creature was stirring,
not even a mousse
but the man who wrote it, DR..
Clement Clarke Moore, was
ashamed Of it and would not
allow it to be published under
his name for more than 20 years.
Dr.. Moore, an aloof professor
Of Greek and Oriental literature
in the Episcopal Seminary in
New York, wrote the poem on
Christmas eve 1922 and read it
to his seven children.
He had not planned for the
poem TO go further than his own
family, but a relative who was
visiting the Moores put a copy
in her dairy. The next year the
relatives father sent it to a
newspaper.
Other newspapers printed the
jingles and they quickly became
known all over the country. The
dignified DR.. Moore was embar-
rasSed and considered it beneath
man of his scholastic standing
to be the author Of. children's
jingleS.
twenty-five years later, how
ever, he finally publicly admit
ted authorship of the iingleS and
it was published in book form
under his name for the first
time.

Legends Unite
Mule And Came!
With Chris mas

Syrian legends have associated
the Magic Mule and the Gentle
Camel of Jesus with gift-giving,
for reasons that are at once diff
ferent, and yet similar in their
association with the Christ
Child.
1t seems a certain traveller tied
his mule to tree when he went
into an inn for refreshments on
Epiphany Ev. Just at midnight,
when the boughs of the tree bow
ed down in hofage to the Holy
Infant, the mule was caught up
on the rebound and found Grad
led high up in the branches by
its returning master.
The youngest camel OF the
three ridden by the Wise Men
was exhausted by the pressing
journey and was blessed with
Immortality by the baby Jesus
as it lay moaning near the
Nativity scene.

I'VE expect that during the
coming months farmers will use
a larger portion of the funds
they borrow to finance soil
conservation measures" Mr.
Beall said.
Private lenders provided most
of the funds from which the
loans were made. The Farmers
Home Administration made and
serwiced the loans and insured
the payment of the funds adj
vanced. The loans are also made
from funds appropriated by Con-
gress.
Farmers pay AZ percent in
terest and insurance charges for
the loans. The loans are sched-
uled for repayment within the
shortest period of time >consis-
tent with the ability of the bor
rover to repay. The maximum
repayment period on loans to
individuals is 20 years.
To be eligible for a soil and

Nugget Club

Members of the Nugget Home makers club held their July 26 meeting at the home of Carmen Spletzstozer with five members and one guest present.
 Plans for the Fair booth and the program for next year was topics for discussion. Club mem bers voted to contribute $500 to the Cancer drive.
 Each year our Club sends one member to Short Course at the University of Alaska. This year Aline Uzelac will be our official delegate. Our guest, Agnes Foley was welcomed into the Club as d new member.
 Our next meeting will be held earlier in the month in order to complete plans for our Fair booth. The meeting will be held at the home of Marjorie Brewer on August l7.
 Canning Equipment
 Homemakers have time to give their home canning equipment a thorough check before they start their garden harvests.
 Careful canning means winter food rich in flavor, minerals and vitamins, Mrs. Lydia Fohn-Han- sen said today. Mrs. Fohn-Han- sen is Extension Service associa- te director for home demonstra- ton work.
 Both boiling water bath can ner and steam pressure canner or cooker are needed for home canning. The boiling water bath canner supplies enough heat to destroy molds, yeast and bacter- ia that cause spoilage of fruits and tomatoes. The canner should be deep enough for the water to cover the tops of the jars by two inches without boiling over. A lard can is often used. The jars should be set on a rack or in metal basket to keep them from touching the bottom of the can. The cover should have a few holes punched in it~
 The steam pressure canner should always be used for can ming corn, peas, beans and all other vegetables. It is also used for meats and poultry. The heavy steel canner has a cover which may be clamped down to make it steam-tight It is fit ted with a safety valve, a pet cock and dial pressure gauge. The latter should be checked by the home demonstration agent at least once a year.
 Oven-canning is not recom- mended by Mrs. Fohn-H Hansen. Jars may explode in the oven, or
The frontiersman., 1955-08-04

food may spoil because of under processing.
 Canning will be more easily and quickly done with these small pieces of equipment on hand: wire basket, colander, sieve or strainer, food mill and chopper, funnel, ladle with lip and jar litter to remove jars.
 Sourdough Club
 The Sourdough Homemakers' club met July 12 at Ruth Estel- les. Roll call was answered with suggestions for the Fair booth. Mrs. Darnett of Los An geles, Calf. was guest.

 We discussed a blueberry tour in August, but no action was taken. One dollar per member was assessed to help build up the Council treasury. It was vot- ed to join the Country Woman's League.
 A special all-day meeting will De held at Viola Thuma's August 9 to work on the Fair booth.

 Members of the Happy Valley Homemakers club held its an- nual picnic July 13 at Finger Lake.
 The next regular meeting will be on August 10 at the home of Mrs. Marvin Loomis.
