Seasons Greetings
In Seasons Ratings

The holiday season is filled with
cheer, decorations and fancy meals.
The busy homemaker can combine
two jobs into one by cooking decora-
tons the family and guests can eat,
suggests Pauline Gruner, extension
nutritionist at the Ohio State univer-
sity.
A hospitality branch adds cheer at
Christmas time. It's decorative and
provides small good-to-eat gifts for
callers. Gifts from the kitchen that
might be tied to the branch include
plastic-film-wrapped candy canes,
suckers, popcorn balls, gum drop
clusters, or Christmas cookies. The
branch is made by wiring together
sprigs of evergreens. 1t might be
hung over the door or used to dec
orate the mantel.
A table spray of evergreens also
can be arranged with a hidden wire
looped at intervals to hold candy
canes upright.
If you're making popcorn balls for
the holidays, why not make snow
man decoration? Use toothpicks, join
a large, medium and small popcorn
ball. Bits of candied fruit make
"Frosty's" face and buttons. Now
cover him with plastic film to keep
him edible. Add two scrubbed twigs,
colored toothpicks or a pipe cleaner
for arms and your own construction
paper design for a hat.
"Roll-up desserts" made from a
jelly-roll base or sheet of angel
food cake and rolled up with a spe-
cial filling are wonderfully decora-
tive and tasty, says Miss Gruner.
They are less filling than many other
holiday desserts. Frost with your fav-
orite icing or whipped cream and
decorate with tiny wedges cut from a
maraschino cherry, laid in pin
wheel to make a poinsettia Green
candied cherries could be used for
leaves and another bit of cherry for
the center.

Candles Surrounded
By Various Legends

Candles have long had their
place in legends and in the observ-
ance of the holiday of Christmas.
In Ireland on Christmas Eve
large candle was burned which
could be snuffed out only by one
named Mary. AS the Irish put it:
''Who knows. on some Christmas
Eve, Jesus and Mary and Joseph
may come again, not to Palestine,
but to thG Holy Isle on the farther.
est edge of Europe?"
The first use of candles for
Christmas is not recorded in the
annals Of any nation but according
to an old legend the Christ Child
Candle" is burned in the window
to light His way II He makes an
earthly visitation and In atonement
for the night of His birth when
there was no room for Him
Chhcr~n's Task
During the early days Of our
country. animal fats were relative.
" scarce. The branches Of the bay.
berry shrub were covered with
wax-giving berries and children
were given the task of gathering
the berries when candles had to be
made so that the animal fats could
be conserved.
According to tradition. one who
burned a bayberry candle on
Christmas Eve of Christmas Day
would have long life and happy
one.
An old verse reads:
'sTo learn your luck for the
year they say.
Burn a bayberry dip on
Christmas Day.
II the flame burns bright and
the light shines clear.
Good luck will be yours
throughout the year."

ist trade it now enjoys.
The whole idea of re.routing
the highway seems incredible. if
not entirely foolish. in that the
taxpayers from this area have
contributed great deal in
money and promotion of the
present highway and the tourist
trade it brings into the whole
county and Glacier Park. 1t will
mean a near so per cent loss of
business to Browning and a com.
plete waste of the thousands of
dollars invested in businesses
along the present route. 1t will
mean that the Browning tax dol.
lars will. more than ever, be di.
rected into other channels of
greater benefit to neighboring
communities. and of no benefit
to the town itself.
If a straighter and better wea-
Their road Is necessary, it appears
that the logical route would be
direct highway to Browning
from Blackfoot. Such a route
would eliminate the hazardous
curves and drifting areas during
the winter months and would
not effect the local businessmen
who will otherwise suffer a com.
plete loss. The same results
would be accomplished with
much less expense.
The Highwty department should
realize that the loss of business to
any town. brought about through
the re-routing of highway. will
be loss to the whole county and
even greater areas. They should
also realize that the Browning
tax dollars help to pay their sal.
aries. and they therefore owe a
certain amount of consideration
to this community in planning
