N The home
You can cut off the longer
branches and plant" them as
Windbreaks to protect outdoor
paintings such as low-growing box
wood. azalea, yeW, rhododendron
and juniper. Little teepees can be
built around exposed shrubs and
tender plants This will protect
them from biting, drying winds
and prevent snow and ice from
accommodating and bending the
plants out of shape
Other branches curved end up
over flower beds when the ground
is exposed will prevent heaving Of
soils during alternate freezing and

and roots of perennials from the
ground.
The entire tree may be used as

Sending Cards Is
Old Holiday Tradition

The custom of sending Christ
mas cards has grown so popular
through the years that each year
an average of one and one-half bill
lion cards are mailed
Some historians suggest that the
idea of sending Christmas cards
originated with school boys away
from home, who wrote their letters
on fancy paper and in fancy writ
ing
William Egley sent out Christ
mas greeting on fancy card in
1912 which showed his artistic and
engraving talent The card carried
the message. "A Merry Christmas
and Happy New Year"
In 1916, Henry Cole, a middle
class glishma sent Christ
mas cards which depicted Vic
torian family gathered at the fes-
tive board and which carried the
message "A Merry Christmas and
a Happy New Year to You
The cards brought fame and pop
ularity to Henry Cole, but it was
two decades before Christmas
cards were sold generally,

Aucienfs Believed
Christina, Greene~y
Held Certain powery

The holly and mistletoe used to-
day for Christmas decorations
found their way into early festivi-
ties because of certain virtues at
tributed to them by the ancients
The Druids were the first to use
mistletoe, which they called Heal
all" They believed the plant to
have great curative powers and
gradually assigned to it all manner
of magic powers.
Each year, about the same time
that we now celebrate Christmas,
their priests would have high plat
forms built around the sacred oak
trees, which, in a manner of speak
ing, were hosts" to the mistletoe.
ROBBED in ceremonial vestments.
the priests assembled these plat
forms, and with golden sickles.
cut away the mistletoe
The Saxons also priced it and it
was they who gave to it the name
Of mistletoe.
Eventually the plant became to
be known as a symbol of peace.
Opposing warriors who met near
it would call a truce, and it was
customary to hang it over entrance
doors so that those who entered
would be assured of friendship.
Today, in both England and
America. holly and mistletoe are
associated with Christmas as in
variably as are the plum pudding
and Christmas tree.
The Farmville herald and farmer-leader. (Farmville, Va.) 1934-1957, 1956-12-21

The same mistletoe W n c h
makes boys bold and girls blush
at Christina aside had other mean
lngs in other times
Mistletoe, as one story goes,
once wasa full grown tree. Then
its timber was cut for the cross
on which Christ was crucified
Since then, it has retroeressed
to its present state as a parasite,
plant which grows on other
trees.
Ancient Druids worshipped mis-
tletoe because it grew on their
sacred oak AT the end OF every
year a Druid priest would cut
down the mistletoe with a golden
sickle. and not one twig was al
lowed to touch the earth Later
sprlgs OF mistletoe were often
fastened over doorways to ward
off evil spirits
In Colonial days mistletoe was
high and the lad who stole kiss
had to reach up and pull off one
berry for every kiss His kisses
stopped when the berries were
gone

If you know what qualities TO
ook for when you select your
christmas turkey. you'll be able to
make a wiser choice
The market class Of turkeys is
determined by ages. sex. and ten
derness Of meat. The youngest
turkeys are fryers and roaSters
and they run from to 6 pounds
in weight. The next class consists
Of young hen and young tom
turkeys under eight months Of age
These vary in weight from s to
IS pounds. And finally there are the
tom and hen turkeys. which in
clude birds over eight months Of
age varying considerable in
weight
Most Of the Christmas turkeys
belong to the young hen or young
tom classification. To be of top
quality. q bird should have well
developed moderately broad and
long breast. well f1eshed through
its entire length. the flesh carry
ing well up to the highest part OF
the breastbone SO that the bone
is not prominent. Also the legs
should be well covered with flesh
Fat covering is one of the most
important points in determining
quality from the standpoint Of ex-
cellence of flavor and tenderness.
The carcass should be well covered
with fat over the breast, back hips
and pin bones. In poultry the fat
is deposited in the skin and i'm
mediately under the skin rather
than dispersed throughout the lean
flesh as it is in some meats.
Select bird that is free from
pin feathers Ready to cook or
oven-ready turkeys have no pro-
truding pin feathers.

view Of the holidays they'll give
you a happier one too.
First of all, avoid crowds with
your children. II they shop with

too long.
Preschool children often don
understand Santa Claus Take
them to see him if they want to 90
Forcing them TO sit on his la

for later
