Christmas Was NOT
Always On Dec. Is

1t is common knowledge that
the true date of Christ's birth
has not yet been determined +.
but have you wondered why the
25th of December was selected
to celebrate Christ's birth?
For long time the 9th of
January was celebrated as the
day of the Nativity, and was not
changed to the earlier date until
about 375 A. D.
According to the Roman JUL
ian calendar, the 25th of Decem-
Der was reckoned the winter
solstice, and the birthday of the
sun!
This way the day that the light
heightened, and the powers OF
the sun once again grew strong.
1t was a symbolic promise that
once again the heat of the sun
would make the grass grow, the
cattle thrive and all crops thrive.
The Christian Church felt that
by turning the 25th of December
sun festival into Holy Day,
they could convert many nom
believers from their worship OF
the sun to Him who is called the
"Son of Righteousness"

Many After-HoIiday
Uses For Family Tree

There are a number of uses to
which you can put your Christ
mas tree after it has served its
purpose in the home.
You can cut off the longer
branches and plant" them as
windbreaks to protect outdoor
paintings such as low-growing
lockwood, azalea, yew, rhododen-
dron 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 accumulating 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 thawing. Heaving
may force bulbs and roots of
perennials from the ground.
The entire tree may be used
as a bird feeder in the back
yard. 1t may be either anchored
securely or fastened to fence.
Pieces of suet tied to its branches
and container of water nearby
will provide a constant supply
of food for your feathered
friends.

Exercise Care In
Outdoor Decorations

If you light an outdoor tree,
do it with care and caution.
Spruce, frs and pines, when
not too large, are ideal for out
door Yuletide display, but hem
lock, yew, lockwood and aborvl-
tae are little more sensitive
to the heat of Christmas lights
and their needles may be scorch-
ed if caution is not used.
Outdoor lights should always
be placed so they do not touch
needles. Bulbs of Is wattage are
sufficient. Use only weatherproof
electrical fixtures designed for
outdoor use. Check the position
of the lights each day and turn
them on only at eventide. Be
sure to turn them out before re-
firing.

Wafer Is Key To Safe
Fresh Indoor Trees

Water is the key to keeping a
Christmas tree fresh after it has
been brought indoors.
Every indoor tree should be
anchored in a container that
holds five or six inches of water
The butt of the tree first should
be cut on slant an inch above
the end of the trunk.
Water should be added to the
container every day to replace
that taken up by the trees or lost
by evaporation. Ample water
makes a tree less inflammable
and gives it better color.
Any Christmas greenery will
stay fresher if sprinkled with
water.

crowding and still provide good
drainage. Water enough to keep
the soil from drying out.
In about another month, when
weather is warm, set the potted
plant outdoors, submerging the
pot in the soil at ground level
or a little below. Put it in full
sunshine unless the weather is
very hot. In that case, give it
light shade. When nights cool in
the fall, put it in window where
there is good light and air and
where temperature is about so to
68 degrees, but with no draft.
Water regularly so the soil never
dries out and use little liquid
fertilizer every week.
Long nights, uninterrupted by
even shaft of artificial light,
are needed to bring the poin-
settia into flower.

Horticulture specialists say
you need not be alarmed about

simply means the plant is going

which lasts until about May l.

plant in a cool place-40 to 5O
degrees - and water sparingly

quite heavily, to remove excess
wood and make it more shapely.

Making tree decorations is an

cutouts from Christmas cards

The Light Of Christmas
BY IRMA CHAPLIN
JEFFERSON, OHIO

Think you that the light of Christmas
Began that first Christmas Day?
Nay, like some distant planet
Millions of light years away,
The day which mankind awaited
Came not by great Joves nod
1t came from earth's need of Saviour
And the infinite love of God
1t came at creations dawning
AS a waking out of sleep
For earth formess and void
And darkness covered the deep.
Then God moved upon the waters
And said Let there be light,
To shatter the power of darkness
And Danish the fear of night.
So light became symbol,
herald of Gods true way
AS the dawning of the morning
Heralds the break of day.
And through countless ages
Men groped as through endless night
While prophets and priests and teachers
Foretold the coming light,
Visioned the need of Saviour
And with the need for power
To conquer the mighty Herods
Of mankinds darkest hour.
Lo the prophecies wait fulfillment,
The captives seek release
To Bethlehem cometh the Saviour
Whose shall be Prince of Peace.
Men looked for mighty warrior
To lead them to victory,
They knew not of humble Mary
Nor dreamed OF Calvary.
And then in Bethlehem's manger
Mary laid her first born son,
Gods croWning act of mercy,
Mankind's redemption won.
And the heavenly hosts in chorus
No longer could silence keep
AS they to watching shepherds
Guarding their focks of sheep.
Twas like winged army
When angels to earth
To sound the wondrous story
And tell the Saviours birth.
Oh, messengers of Christmas,
Send down from heaven above
Upon earths weary children
Your gifts of light and love.

AND COMMUNISM

Russia is highly interested in exercising political In
fluence i'm the Latin American countries. Constantly, states
men of the Kremlin are ON the alert regarding every
political movement in the Western Hemisphere, with the
purpose of taking advantage of it, whether it is for direct
benefit in favor of communism, or for indirect benefit,
channeling it against the United States of America.
The hierarchs of Moscow know that they cannot impose
within the zone of influence of the United States a COM
pletely communist Government, with origin In the type OF
revolutions that Russia has promoted in Central Europe,
in the Middle East and in the Far East. Before this reality,
that is to say, before the inability to impose satellite govern.
mentS in America, Russia is engaged in diScrediting Latin
American democracy, because from that diScredit q climate
prOpitiOus for the malignant growth of communism always
results.
The democratic governments existing in the Americas
are, without doubt, harmful to Russian designs, because
the people who are governed by them get used to respect
and to love the authentic values of republicanism, and are
always ready to defend, with all possible energy, the insti.
tutiOns which guarantee their individual rights, social we'll
being and political freedom. On the other hand, peoples
who are subjugated, those who see the Government making
a constant mOckery, in the most irritating manner, Of
losing their faith in democracy almost completely, and
perhaps avoiding any effort to defend it, because they do
mot enjoy 1t.
The four dictatOrial regimes which still remain in
America are, for these and other reasons, direct or indi
rect contributors, but always effective contributors, with
their antidemOcratic attitudes, to the political diStruSt
of communist imperialism, and put out deeper roots where
democracy is p~racticed the least, where the people are less
disposed to defend 1t because they do not know what it
means, or, If they do know, are not able to enjoy it. In
democratic governments Russia has enemies. In the dicta-
tOrShipS she has allies.
