salute and presided at the business
session.
The members answered roll call
by telling of their greatest Christ
mas wish. Secretary's report was
given by Mrs. Hamilton.
1t was decided to give five dol
lars to the County tuberculosis
Society.
Mrs. Paul Friday, former ac-
tive member, now living near
Plain City had the program. Her
topic was, Christmas in Other
Lands" She gave very interest
ing discourse about some of the
customs and food of the countries,
England, Scotland, Ireland, Germ
any, Italy, Yugoslavia, Norway
and Sweden.
She spoke of the mystery and
superstition in connection with the
use of the Yule-log, also of the
simplicity of gifts in some of the
countries; and of their festivities,
and their attendance of religious
services.
In Norway it is the custom to
begin preparing for Christmas
many months in advance by weav-
ing cloth for the making of new
clothes, by tanning leather for the
making of shoes, the raising and
preserving of food, and the making
and hand dipping of candles.
England was the first country to
make use of mistletoe and green
cry for trimming homes. Trees are
never lighted until the night before
Christmas, when the people return
home from church services.
Mrs. Friday read an interesting
letter from a fourteen year old
girl in Germany which she and her
husband had received. Mr.. and
Mrs. Friday had lived for a time
in Germany several years ago.
After the program a gift ex-
change was enjoyed.
Two Christmas cards were sign
ed by the nineteen members pres
ent to send to two members who
are confined to their homes, by i'll
ness.
Mrs. Elliott's two daughters,
Helen Sue and Carol, assisted their
mother in the serving of delicious
dessert course.
