Balsam Fir Chosen by y
Heavenly Messengers
According to Ansgarius, who
converted the Vikings to Chris
tianity, the Lord sent Faith, Hope
and Charity to earth to select
His Christmas Tree.
They selected the Balsam Fir
because it was <as high as Hope,
as wide as Love, and bore the
sign of Jtf^cross on every branch.

Constructive Toys\ -
Make Better Gifts
When you buy toys for children,
give a thought to their constructive
qualities. How much can they do
with the gifts you are pifoviding
them? Will they soon tire,of them
and go back to the good old spoons
and pans in the cupboard that they
can do so many things with? If you
buy a doll, get one that can be
dressed, bathed and brushed. If a
boy wants" a doll, let him have it.
Fathers love children.
Growing children need big toys
that require lifting, tugging, running
—movement of muscles. Blocks are
Ideal. Think of the things that •can
be done with them! One carpenter,,
out of work made quite a good thinjj;,
last Christmas of children’s blocks.
He collected odds and ends of boards
at the lumber yard, planed thertf,
off smoothly, painted them gay col
ors and sold them in lots of a dozen
up to 100. Wagons, cars, scooters,
skates, sleds, and skiis are good.
But the toy should suit the age of
the recipient. Every boy should
have a ball of some kind. Boys like
trains, but wooden blocks painted to
resemble cars are better than the
kinds that can run only on tracks.
Girls are pleased with rolling pins,
doll beds, houses, trunks, small
chairs and tables, and dishes. One
mother writes that her son’s most
cherished gift last Christmas was
five pounds of assorted nails given
him by an understanding uncle.
For older folks, books and Christ
mas just seem to go together as
naturally as thread and jam, or

Have you been chosen to arrange

Don’t look at it as a chore, bfr

Christmas is yie season for

America, the pines, holly and mistle

about the room to give a holiday at
mosphere.
Other natural materials may be
added, such as pine cones, shells,
seed pod^, ground pine or fruits.
If color is to be added, paint the
gourds or pine cones with poster
paints and fasten them on the pine
boughs with wire or string. Pine
cones painted in white and edged
with red or blue are especially
striking when hung against a dark
green background.
Three dimensional posters make
effective decorations, and are easily
made from cloth, stiff paper or other
material. This type of decoration is
particularly effective made up in the
traditional Christmas scenes such as
the bringing in the Yule log, Na
tivity scenes, or caroling.
Christmas cards are a good source
to go to for suggestions if you need
a design for a poster or bulletin
board as a central piece.

HERE'S. HOW TO ,
SELECT A TREE
“How can we select a Christmas
tree that holds its needles?” is a
question fathers and mothers ask
year after year.
The answer depends on the type
of tree you buy and the care you
give it once you set it up.
All trees tend to drop thiir leaves
after they are cut and stored in a
dry room. But some
kinds naturally hold
their needles longer
than others, r trees
used most common
ly on Christmas are
the spruces, fir, hem
lock, pine and red
cedars.
Spruce are the first
to shed their needles.
A spruce can be
identified by grasp
ing a branch tightly.
' f - Its sharp needles will
prick your hapd. '
The ideal Christmas tree is the
otbU that botaTiIsls _ '6verT6okif5'Tt fir. ft resemblerthe-sprucr except

that its needles are not sharp. The
needles stay on the tree for a long '
time, and become a golden brown
before they finally drop off. Nee
dles of the Douglas l^r are fiat and
soft to the touch. This popular tree
can be easily identified tpr examin
ing the cones whidh have sifrall ap
pendages on each side.
Pines have never been very popu
lar as Christmas trees, in spite of
the fact that they do not shed their
needles ’easily. This is most likely 1
due to tjieir-iA^mmetrical appear
ance which does not closely resem- \
ble the traditional Christmas tree.
No matter whht kind of Christmas
tree you select, it will hold its nee
dles longer if it .is standing in water.
Place a little water in the base of
your tree stand and you will be both
ered less with falling needles than
you were last year, i ‘
