Here are two simple things to do if you want your tree to stay green and fresh. Buy a tree which has been cut as recently as possible. Cut off the end of the trunk diag onally, at least one inch above the original cut. This will expose a moist surface which will absorb wa ter. Stand the trunk of the tree in water at once, and, if it is not to be taken into the house for several days, keep it in a cool place.

Cannon Fire Hails Christmas in Rome A cannon fired from the historic Castle of San Angelo at sunset on Christmas Eve proclaims the be ginning of the Holy Season in Rome. By nine o’clock everyone is in church to witness the colorful and solemn processions of ecclesiastic dignitaries which precede the elab orate midnight Mass. Since everyone has fasted for | twenty-four hours, festive banquets j are in oYder after the religious solemnities. It is a gala after-mid night in Rome: hotels and res taurants remain open, families and friends gather around sumptuous tables in gaily decorated homes; ; and in anticipation of the festivities, many people attend church dressed in formal attire. Between Christmas and Epiphany, the Calabrian shepherds—Pifferani —revisit the homes where they were I most cordially welcomed during, Ad vent when they came down from the hills to play their Italian bagpipes before the shrines of the Virgin. The Pifferani play for their Advent hosts during the post-Christmas hol idays and receive gifts of wine, dried figs, and small sums of money from their hosts. WHITE HOUSE DOOR ... If yon were having Christmas dinner at the White House this is what yon’d see as yea approached R. Nut-Bowl Filled From Many Lands Nuts from all over the world go into your nut-bowl at Christmas. Like Christmas traditions, the nuts so popular at this time of year are a mixture of many varieties and dif ferent .histories. The English walnut, for instance, is not English at all. It originated in Asia centuries ago and was called “the food of the gods." The round little filbert and the almond came from'bie.Old World. Other nuts, so familiar 'at Christ mas, the hickory nut/the black wal nut and the chestnut, to say nothing of the pecan, are strictly American. The pecan is native to America and is found nowhere else. Two other American nuts worthy of mention are the chestnut and the butternut. Although many nuts.originated in other,parts of the world, almost ev ery variety known is now grown on American soil and experts are , con stantly searching for more kinds ol nuts to transplant to this country. Merry Christm . May we extend to you and your loved ones, your friends and associates, our good wishes for a Merry Christmas. We want to add to these simple greet ings our heartfelt thanks for the coopera tion end friendship extended to this organization. This relationship is im portant to us and we trust that we may continue to merit its continuance. D. E. Tribble Company ■ i PeUotutel: D. E. TRIBBLE, President W. BLAKELY TRIBBLE, Vice-President R.
