While the rate declined the

DYING TRADITION
FruitIond Dropping
Wreath Production

ira money for Christmas is fast
dying out.
Yesterdays final auction
lasted less than 80 minutes
with Just four buyers and Is
sellers showing up. In years
past. 100000 or more holly
wreaths were sold to wholesal-
erS from PhiladelphiS, Wash
ington and Baltimore.
The children no longer find
any fun in gathering pine nee
dies to bed down the farm
horses while their brothers and
sisters pull up the running &C.
dar from the ground or gather
crows feet for the wreaths.
The older members of the
family carried burlap bags and
ventured into the swamps for
the greenest of holly trees.
Gathering the mistletoe meant
climbing to the top of rotten
gum trees to cut off the para
site plant and lower it down in
baskets.
But today children prefer
television and the teen-ager
seems to be too busy even to
consider the thought of gather
ing holly for the Christmas
wreaths.
This unique homegrown in
dustry in the lower Eastern
Shore has fallen off so per
cent this year. The older people
say that no one is interested in
continuing the custom anymore
and the spreading shopping
centers from nearby Salisbury
provide artificial wreaths and
plastic miStletoe.
Many stores used to buy the
wreaths," said Mrs. Eta Carey
Bloxon, but no more" Mrs.
Bloxon had 20 large wooden
crates for yesterdays final auc-
ton of the season. She only
filled five. "And only two BUSH
els of mistletoe came through
this year." she added.

FRUITLAND, Md, Dec. Is
For many years the col,
week just before Christina

make wreaths of holly and mis-
tletoe.
The children clipped of
sprigs of green holly and fiat
tened the spiny leaves. Others
assembled thick clumps Of RED
berries and fastened them to-
gether with this wire.
Perahps the fathers job was
to bend a maple twig or grape
vine into a hoop and to tie
the ends together for the
frame of the wreath.
Then the mother usually put
all the pieces together, using
wire to bind everything firmly
in place on the hoop frame.

Istrosity it wants on the cam
pus."
In the afternoon session,
with Mr.. Bentz absent, Com
missioner Jesse s. Baggett Led
the criticism Of the university
during consideration Of . SINH
lar application for apartments
on q one-acre plot at the
northwest corner Of Rhode Is
land avenue and Norwich road,
adjacent to the southeast side
Of the campus. The other two
proposals had been on the
northern campus borders.
IF they (the university are
going to come In here waving a
big stick, they at least ought to
be consistent" Mr.. Baggett
said. IF they don't want apart
ments on one side, they
shouldn't want them on the
other"
The four other commission
ers nodded agreement. But T.
Hammond Welsh, jr., represent
ing the corporate owners Of the
plot, said the situations were
different.
This is an old part Of Col
lege Park, with a great deal OF
apartments scattered around
It," he said. A private planning
conSultant, Fred L. Truemmler
said the land was getting so ex-
penSive that the owners, Delta
Psi Foundation, Inc. (Which
has no known affiliation with
the university. could afford
only high-density uses.
The commissioners recessed
both cases pending further evil
dence, and Mr.. Bentz said TO-
day he would probably include
a protest from the university
on the afternoon application.
However, he said, he would
have to discuss with his superb
ors the particular site.
IF I had been at the hear
ing, I assume I would have op-
posed it," he said.

1874 Students
Certified for
Stote Grants
By JERRY KLINE
Star STAFF Writer

With q comment by one
member that the Alexandra
School Board continues to de-
plore" the State tuition grant
program. the board unanimous
ly certified 1874 students last
night as eligible for s23,406 in
grants for the current semester.
The cost to the city will be
increased later with the addi-
ton Of AZ grants for other stu
dents. bringing the total to
more than $4,000, School
Supt. John c. Albohm said.
During the previous semester
140 students received grants
totalling $751;
The program was set up by
the Virginia General Assembly
in 1859 to help parents who
transfer their children from
desegregated schools, but many
of the grants are used to at
tend integrated schools.
Grants Of up to SITS a year
are given to parents who enroll
their children in private
schools or in public schools
outside their local communi-
ties. The majority Of students
certified last night attend
schools in Virginia or In the
Metropolitan Washington area
but some are enrolled in exclu-
lsive schools and military
academies as far away as Indi-
ana.
DR.. Albohm said with obvious
disapproval that some Of this
money is going out of State"
He added that is of the grants
will go to students in schools
for the mentally retarded, in
Guiding IL at the Alexandra
School for Handicapped Chill
