MistletOe Once
Was Thought
To Cure Illness

An ancient custom, which
prescribed" mistletoe for the
prevention and cure of a wide
variety of illnesses-epilepSy
for instance-has given way to
the happier idea that mistletoe
is the right prescription to as
sure opportunities for exchang-
ing kisses during the holiday
season.
Naturally, this makes mistle-
toe an object of interest-as it
has been for centuries.
Druid priests in early Britain
cut mistletoe at the winter SOL
stice and gave sprigs of it to
the people. The sprigs were
hung above doorways of homes
and stables. The Druids taught,
and the people believed, that
this vine had great power to
ward off evil and protect against
| illnesses.
Despite the early interest in
mistletoe for its supposed medi-
cinal qualities, its use as a pre-
scription for kissing" had a
place in the ancient world, too.
Romans and other early peo-
pies considered mistletoe as an
emblem of peace. Meeting un-
der it, enemies kissed each 9th
er and made truce until the
next day.
Scandinavian myths tell the
story of the death of Balder,
the sun god, who was, so myth
ology says, killed by an arrow
of mistletoe wood. His mother
the goddess Freya, had asked
all living things to pledge not
to harm her son, but she neg
lected to ask the lowly mistle-
toe.
Balder's enemy, the lame god

across the sea in Denmark, a

Sharing Ideas
Creates First
Christmas Seal

That familiar Christmas seal
appearing on so many packages
and letters during the holiday
season owes its origin to an
American physician, a Danish
postal worker and kind-heart-
ed lady from Delaware.
The doctor, Edward Living
ston Trudeau, was stricken with
lTB shortly after graduation
from medical school, says The
Encyclopedia Americana.
To help other people with
the disease-both his brother
and his daughter had it-and

for treating tuberculosis.
When it became apparent that
the project would die for lack
of funds, a cousin of one of the
doctors came to the rescue.
Miss Emily Bissell, a Red Cross
worker, had read a magazine
article about the successful
Christmas seal idea in Denmark.
Miss Bissell set to work to
design and drew the design for
the first American Christmas
seal. Around Christmas time OF
1907, the first stamps went on
sale in the Wilmington, DEL,
post office.

Resigns From

The Sidney City Council &C.
cepted the resignation of Gilman
Foss. as councilman from Ward 8,
at the regular meeting Monday
evening Oscar L. Anderson, local
banker, was named to fill out the
remaining portion of Foss' term.
Foss was serving his second term
on the Council, after reelection
last April.
Mayor. Harold Mercer reported
that work has begun on the street
paving project in Improvement
District No. so near the new high
school. Excavation work has been
started by Lalonde Construction
Co. preparatory to laying an
asphalt mix.
Water rationing has also been
| suspended for the present, and
residents may water as needed.
Mercer said the water situation
| seems to be we'll in hand, and
even the recent extremely hot
days did not lower the pressure
noticeably. A new pump has been
ordered, and is expected daily,
and a new motor is on hand. They
will be installed as soon as the
pump arrives.
Walter Jensen appeared before
the Council on behalf of his father
in-law, John Micheletto, to protest
what was termed an inadequate
supply of water for irrigation on
Micheletto's fields, just east Oh
Sidney. The City had agreed to
furnish the water as needed, a
number Of years ago, in return for
being allowed to level irrigation
bitches. within the city, which car
ried the water supply to fields
Water was to be pumped from
another ditch. Water, furnished
by the Lower Yellowstone Pro-
ject, was to be pumped to the
fields, by a pump supplied by the
city. Micheletto claims he does
not receive sufficient water. The
problem has been studied by the
Council, which has received two
different estimates of the flow
from Soil Conservation person
mel. and Bureau of Reclamation
officials.
The pump in use is large enough
to supply 900 gal. per minute
Mercer said, but the city will
check to discover where the
trouble lies.

posed City Budget is scheduled

dian people take great pride and

contributions which they and their
forebears have made over the
years to the enri C hment of our

poets of all Indians for individual
growth and personal fulfillment,
feel deeply certain, lie not in the
promotion of futile nationalistlc
movements but in a constantly
broadening partic ipation in the
manifold facets of American DEM
ocracy and American life. Such
participation is privilege wide
open to all citizens of Indian de-
scent, is not in the least incom-
patible with preservation OF the
important Indian cultural values,
and should not be lightly cast
aside.

if | report that Indians are con-
cerned about termination and are,
in fact, pretty worked up on the
subject. Having said this, however,
let me quickly add that my recent
discussions with many different
tribal groups have sharpened up
and clarified for me the nature
of the controversy. Most RESPONSE
BILE tribal leaders and mo ST tribal
members, | am convinced, agree
with US in Government that ter
mination sometime is inevitable.
What they object to primarily is
not the concept of termination in
itself but rather the speed with
which this objective has been ap-
preached in recent years. Irecog-
nize that there has been virtual
