DAILEY, Prop.. The custom of kissing under the Mistletoe descends from Scandina vian mythology. Frigga, goddess of love and beau ty — counterpart of Venus — so grieved when her son Balder was struck down by an arrow fashioned out of Mistletoe that her tears be came the white berries of tho plant: Balder was restored to life by the concerted efforts of the gods and Frigga, grateful for her son’s resto ration, legendarily bestows a kiss upon those who pass under the Mis tletoe. The Mistletoe was sacred to the Druids of ancient Britain and, in Vir gil. it is the Golden Bough which enables Aeneas to descend to the underworld and return safely. Considering its heathen associa tions, the Church has never sanc tioned the use of the mistletoe as a decoration appropriate to a re ligious edifice. However, no restric tions have been strong enough to banish the parasitic plant from the home where it continue,* to be em blematic of peace, friendship and true love—sealed by a Boar's Head Rich In Lore and Food The wild boar has been revered from earliest times as having taughc mankind the art of plowing by rooV ing into the ground with his tusks.* " Pre-christian Druids, celebrating the winter solstice, offered a boar’s head to the goddess Freya and, be cause of its food value, boar has al ways been an important part of fes tive menus. Once upon a Christmas Day—so the story goes—a student of Oxford was studying Aristotle while walking in Shotover forest. Suddenly a wild boar rushed at the lad who, in des peration, crammed his book into the gaping jaws of the beast. . The" student was poor and could not afford to lose his Aristotle, so he cut off the boar’s head and re covered the text book; neither was a good boar's head to be wasted, so it was taken to Queen’s college, roasted and eaten. Whenceforth, elaborate ceremonies attend the bringing in of the boar’s head on Christmas Day. Rules for Sending Cards to Personnel Of Armed Forces With so many of our friends still in service, the code of military eti quette is quite important in signing and addressing Christmas cards again this year. i When sending greeting cards to commissioned officers, the rank mast be designated. However, when sending a Christmas card to an en listed man, the use of the rank is optional. The best thing is to follow the form the servicemah or woman used as a return address. In sending Christmas greetings when the husband in service is not at home on furlough, a simple note may be added to the greeting, 1 saying, “John’s wishes are included with mine and we hope to see you when next he is home on furlough.” Be certain both names are on the card. Whether the card is sent to a per son in service or to someone in the immediate circle of friends and relatives, it is always wise to be Animals Warmed Holy Infant in Bethlehem Many legends attribute tho power of speech to birds and ani mals daring the midnight hoar of Christmas Eve in recognition of the beasts who, sharing the stable of Bethlghem, warmed the Holy Infant with their breath. To honor these traditions, Po lish children masquerade iii ani mal costumes on Christmas Eve. NOTICE Notice is hereby given that the undersigned incorporators int^ndj*to file with the Secretary of Stafe of South- Carolina, on December 24th, 1945, a declaration for the granting of a charter of incorporation under, the law’s of the State of South Caro lina to DAI PER HOSIERY MILLS.

NETTLES, Incorporators. Dated at Clinton, S. C„ this 18th day of December, 1945. Address mail properly to reach all servicemen everywhere. certain that the card chosen reflects the degree of intimacy th%t exists. Using first names, or even affec tionate nicknames is permissible on Christmas cards for close friends and relatives. Some married couples still retain the formal “Mr. (or Captain) and Mrs, Jones. Most younger couples, however, prefer the friendlier "John and Alice Jones.” It is perfectly proper to include the children’s names and even the name of'j^e family Scottie. Or make the signature all-inclusive and simpler by writing "The John Lanes." Because Christmas cards are the personal expression of your regard Aor the person to whom they are sent, you should double check to be certain that all cards are correctly signed and addressed. The best eti quette directs that they be mailed .with first-class postage. When you use first-class postage on your Christmas cards, you are, in effect, saying to your friends, "I’m not tak ing any chances that this greeting will be delayed on its way to you.” How women and girls may get wanted relief from functional periodic pain Cartful U a liquid medicine which many women fpy has brought relief from the cramp-Uke agony and ner vous strata «f functional periodic distress.

The elaborate dinner features a cake in which a China bean has been hidden; the cake is cut into as many pieces as there are persons in the party. Whoever finds the bean in his or her piece of cake auto matically becomes King or Queen of Twelfth Night and proceeds to chbose his or her partner. The King and Queen reign over the ensuing festivities — each member of the party being obliged to .obey their ridiculous commands. dlerical employees expect a bonus arid tradespeople anticipate Christ mas boxes on Epiphany and Christ mas trees are set up in stores and public places around which patrons pile heaps of gifts to be distributed hospitals and among the poor.
