There seem to be too many
out-of balance leagues in base
ball. without dragging down foot
ball into the same category. With
the draft anybody and every
body can hope to get back on top
within year or two. It depends,
Of course, on getting q coach like
Joe Kuharich who knows what
he needs and knows what to do
with 1t.
A football coach has more to
do with the success or failure OF
his team than q baseball mana

THE RUMOR that new

would stage a televized,
broadcaSted press conference
in Russia in answer to

State Department.
Back in May, before Khru-

Department sent a note to
the Soviet government ask
ing it to agree to a regular
exchange Of broadcasts be-
tween public figures of the
two countries to carry on an
effective debate on the issues
of today. But no reply has
come forth.
1t was thought when
Tommy Thompson presented
his credentials the other day
in Moscow, he might be asked
to speak over the airways.

There's more to mistletoe than
the excuse to invite a kiss from
a pretty girl
The white-berried plant actually
is parasite, often killing off
trees that play it host. In recent
years Australian foresters resorted
to flame throwers to kill off the
plant in some wooded areas. The
popular promoter of Yuletide ro-
nance has a bad habit Of sapping
the water and mineral salts from
the trees, starving them to death.
The mistletoe does serve one
useful function in the outdoors,
however, as it provides a winter
food supply for mockingbirds, rob-
ms and waxwings. These small
birds are responsible for the
spread Of the tree-damaging para
site. After eating the berries, the
birds clean their beaks on the
trees, firmly planting the mistle-
toe seeds they do not eat. The tap
root Of the seeding pierces the
tenderest portions of the tree
young branches or husband the
tree sap is drawn into the thick
leaves Of the guest plant.
Thus the mistletoe plays dual
characters and at least according
to one superstition. can change
from one character to another in
the twinkling of an eye. For in
stance. if the Yuletide mistletoe
bough isn't removed from a house
by Candlemass Eve february y,
each leaf will produce a goblin to
plague the careless occupants dur
ing the year.

Make Holiday Candle
From Scrap Pieces

Odds and ends of partly burned
candles can be used to make big,
long-burning Christmas candle.
Melt the candles and remold
them in an ice cream carton or
oatmeal container. whichever is
handy. Use plain cord for the wick.
When the wax is beginning to hard
en-, tie the wick to a pencil and
suspend it in the wax.
Let set hard, remove the carton,
and there is a nice candle for your
table.
Be sure, however, that you burn
the candle safely. While it is pretty
and attractive and adds to your
holiday decorations, It is also a po-
tential fire hazard.

Modern World Still
Needs Old Saint Nick

Every December many parents
are faced with the problem Of what
to do or what to say about Santa
Claus. Some of our educators have
been saying for years that the San
ia theory is all wrong and some
Of today's modern" parents seem
to agree.
But is the Saint Nick idea good
or bad for children? We say it is
good and that no child, be he aver
age or brilliant, ever suffered from
the grand Illusion Children know
there is a Santa Claus and they
accept the fact that he gradually
changes from the Santa of fiction
to the bill-paying Santa Of reality.
Santa is good for small children.
for children have imaginative
minds. The fact they might see a
Santa on every corner matters lit
tie. In their eyes Santa is SYM
boil a mystery. and in his Won
drous magic, is apt to pop up any
where.
Time to Explain
And it is not the end Of the world
when the time comes that some
older child skaters the illusion by
telling all Such is the perfect op-
portunity for the wise parent to
explain that Santa is, after all, a
spirit of Christmas. He represents
the spirit Of giving and the reason
that we give at Christmas time is
because this is the day on which
Jesus was born. Jesus taught US
love and faith and hope and Santa
is a figurative being who helps us
understand and use that teaching.

Uses for Christmas Tree
After Holiday Is Over

You can still put your Christmas
tree to use after it is taken down.
For one thing. you can cut of
the longer branches and plant"
them as windbreaks to protect out
door paintings such as low-growing
lockwood. aborvitae. azalea. yew.
rhododendron and juniper. Little
teepees can be built around ex-
posed shrubs and tender plants.
This will protect them from biting,
drying winds and prevent snow and
ice from accommodating and bend
ing the plants out Of shape.
