It was a busy afternoon just be fore Christmas in 1903 and piles upon piles of holiday letters and packages were pouring through the post office in Copenhagen. A postal clqj-k, Einar Holboell, expertly han dled the letters and packages, and as he did so, he pondered an idea whiph was to have great effect upon the destiny of millions of people in the world.

Jacob Riis, whom Theodore Roosevelt once called “Amer ica’s most useful citizen,” published an article “The Christmas Stamp,” which set people in this country to thinking about what they could do with the idea. They thought the story good, but they pondered that the problem was too great for a penny stamp. Late in the autumn of 1907, Emily Bissell, a young public health work er in Wilmington, Del., became con cerned about the fate of a little sana torium on the Brandywine river. She asked for assistance, but those that could give always replied in the negative with the postscript that she should not waste the money.

She en countered trouble from those that could afford to help. Finally she took her design to a small printer who agreed to wait for his pay. She talked with the postal clerks and they said- that they would assist if the people would be advised that the penny stamp would not carry anything—that it was purely orna mental. The printer turned out 50,000 of the stamps—the people of Delaware had begun to hear about tuberculo sis—and a Christmas Seal table was set' up in the Wilmington post office, and the first Christmas Seal sale in America was under way. children of Lapland and Siberia, raised on tales of the good and gen erous St. Nicholas, thought of their benefactor as dressed in furs and traveling in a reindeer-drawn sleigh, just as they did themselves. Stories of St. Nicholas. Wondrous stories of this great Fourth century saint, who gave handsome presents to good little children, were repeated at the fire sides of all Europe from the time of his death in 342. The Dutch chil dren observed the anniversary of his death on December 0 and received presents in their wooden shoes. These Dutch youngsters thought of St. Nicholas as a stern old man with a long white beard, garbed in bish op’s robes and carrying a stick to chastise naughty children. The little Hollanders coming with their parents to found New Amster dam brought Santa Claus or “San Claas” as they said, with them. In no time the English colonial children whose fathers had taken over the Dutch settlement and renamed it New York caught on to this won derful man. The English moved his' yearly visit from December 6 to New Year’s Eve. Germans coming to America brought their Christmas customs; Christmas trees and Christmas can dles burned in honor of the Christ Child, whom the German children called “Kris Kringle.” At about the time that these festivities were making Christmas Day important, families beginning to spread across the country chose this celebration as a day of reunion. Thus the Dutch figure of Santa Glaus, the German traditions of Christmas and the English season of celebration became combined in one single holiday. *' Christmas Card Is Century Old Reprobatus Becomes St. Christopher— Answers Christ’s Call The centennial of the Christmas < card is being observed this year. It was in 1845—just 100 years ago —that the first Christmas card was i ✓ designed and dis- Reprobatus was a young" giant whose heathen philosophies prompt ed him to desert one master after another whenever he found a pias ter stronger than the one he then served. Noticing that the mighty Pharaoh feared Satan, Reprobatus deserted Pharaoh to serve Satan; perceiv ing that the Devil himself was star tled by the cross, he left the services of Satan and went in search of Christ. When he refused to pray, he was commanded to do penance apd given the task of carrying travelers across ■a deep river. On Christmas Eve a voice called for Reprobatus and, answering the summons, he found a very -small child waiting to be carried across the river. When he had placed the little one upqn his shoulder,, the bur den of his weight nearly bowed Reprobatus to the ground. “You are, indeed, as heavy as the world,”'deotered Reprobatus. * “I created the world,” replied the child, “I Redeemed the world and I bear the sins of the world.” Reprobates was no .longer a heathen giant: he was Christofera, the bearer of Christ:-as St. Chris topher, he is the Goliath of the Saints, patron saint of all travelers: his emblem is a palm stem which Christ bade him thrust into the soil —wherefore the date palm is said to blossom and beax fruit at Christ mas time. ' f trib-»ted. This pioneer greeting was the creation of W. C. Dobson, a noted British artist, who was said to be a fa vorite of Queen Victoria. Dob son, according to tradition, made copies of his card'and sent them to friends in London and elsewhere in the - British Isles. The*custom established by Dobson found numerous devotees. In 1840, an English nobleman. Sir Henry Cole,' commissioned an artist, John Calcott Hjisley, to design a Christ mas card for him. According to one story, Sir Henry Cole had received suoh a large num ber pf holiday letters that he (^ould not find time to answer them" all. As a means of solving This .problem, orsley anti asked him ¥ he called in Horsley to design an appropriate card. Horsley’s first Christmas card de picted a Victorian English family en joying the holiday. Except for the profusion of detail, the card is like many of the modem greetings. The traditional “A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year” was inscribed on the card, with blank spaces for ^filling ill the name of the sender and the recipient. From this beginning a century ag8, the custom of sending Christ mas cards , has spread across the ocean to the United States where it has 'become hi traditional part of the holiday observanca. \ "I ENGINIERED AND M17BY CHRYSLER CORPORATION tor: DODGE We Have Available BRAND NEW ENCINES REBUILT mouth DODGE^TRUCKS ALL NEW PRECISION-MADE PARTS FACTORY ENGINEERED AND INSPECTED Mho T/ou Can Cajoif POWERFUL, SMOOTH, QUIET ENGINE PERFORMANCE IN YOUR PRESENT VEHICLE Avoid expensive engine repairs ond lost time—have one of these new engines installed now.
