S. department of agricul ture advises against using a chem ical weed killer in the home garden to avoid more damage than gain to the vegetable crop. In a recent bulletin, the depart ment reported spraying with chem ical weed killers is effective and a work-saver if done with care to avoid injury to vegetables. In the home garden, rows are close and several of th? favorite garden crops—tomatoes and beans, for example—are highly sensitive to weed killing chemicals. In a family-sized garden the job of using a hoe or cultivator would probably take less time than to ■pray with a weed killer since the chemical must be precisely meas ured and mixed and the equipment thoroughly cleaned afterwards, the department pointed out. Back-Saving Brush ■QLEASANT as it is to dream of a * “White Christmas” with its car ols and gifts, feasting and merry- , making, the sparkling eyes of chd- ! dren delighting in Santa Claus and ! the wonderful Christmas trees, these things never can symbolize the tremendous significance of the day. The birth of the Saviour was the greatest event in the history of the world. In spite of all the back- slidings, Christian peoples have pressed forward steadily. However vicious and corrupt, the world today is far better than the world of pagan times; fa miliarity with the cross and cruci fixion has abolished legal tortures and much cruelty—and, if given a chance, might shame us into ban ishing the curse of international viciousness for the sake of Him who became the Saviour of Man kind.

Brazilian Christmas festivities embrace an aggregation of mod ern observances entwined with ancient traditions brought over from the mother country of Portu gal. The Christmas season in Brazil begins on Christmas Eve and e^ds with Epiphany on January 6. And because it is really summertime (south of the equator) festivities and entertainments appropriate to summertime hold sway throughout the season. Miracle plays have always been performed in adoration of the Holy Child. From olden times, the plays have had all the dramatic fervor of a religious performance together with the gracious hospitality of a social function. The scene is at once solemn and fantastic, with costumes bedecked with feathers, spangles, jewels and what-not ^sparkling in a setting cf luxurious tropical foliage and blossoms. Out of the great variety of mira cle plays, all on different themes, of which many are in the form of elaborate dances meticulously per formed and accompanied by the music of an orchestra, the dance of the Four Parts of the World may be cited as a typical exam ple. The roles are enacted by girls dressed for the part and. in, suc cession, Europe, Asia, Africa and America declaim. The discussion finally involves their respective rights to make obligation to the Christ Child. Eventually, Father Time appears and settles the dis pute to the satisfaction of all con cerned.

Make the Covering Gay When Wrapping Up Gifts tJALF OF THE GIFT is the wrap- ** ping—let’s make the covering as gay as the gift inside. For the girl who likes to sew, material for a dress in a fabric- wrapped box, rick-rack for the rib bon and spools of thread with big buttons for the decoration create an unusual package. If you give yarn for a sweater, use one skein for he big bow. Disguise a flat box of letter paper as a desk pad. Use a real blotter on top with corners of metallic paper. Why not use a necktie knot in Jecorating the box containing a tie? Fasten the ends of the ribbon under “he lid about ^4 way down: bring to center: tie the knot and shape the ends tie fashion. Use a dark blue, A’ine or green ribbon about one and one-half inches wide. These are attractive used on a striped or plaid paper. Or the package might resemble a tiny suitcase wrapped in paper with the ends bound in decorative tape. Add a handle and identifica tion tag.
