CHRISTMAS LECTURE . . .
'‘New this Is s Christmas tree,**

presents under it.**

Samiltf Party
Christmas is the time for family;
fet-togethers. One of the best ways;
to make these gatherings memora-|
ble for all concerned is to engage in'
games which the whole group can
play.
A nice one to start off with would
be a Sugar Plum Hunt. Have one
member of the family hide Christ
mas candies ahead of time in vari
ous nooks and comers around the
house. At a given signal everyone
starts hunting and gathering the
pieces. The one who gathers the
greatest number would be given a
prize.
The Christmas Puzzle is another
good one to get things going. Look
through some magazines, which are
filled with pictures of Santa Claus
at this time of year. Cut out enough
of these to go around, paste them
on stiff cardboard, and cut them
into pieces. Then put each group of
pieces in a separate paper bag. At
the signal, everyone opens a bag
and starts putting the puzzle to
gether.
The Xmas Scramble Contest is
good for a group with older children
in it. This is simply a contest to
see who can unscramble a group 6f
words the fastest. Just for fun, see
if you can work out the following—
astna, erireden, ehsgil, dynca,
gosiknct, erte, trepesn, hupnc,
alsorc, and niborb.
If Santa Misses,
Reindeer Supply
Will Be af Fault
If Santa Claus misses some young
sters this year, it could be offered
plausibly that he was not able to
round up enough reindeer for his
yearly trip around the globe.
The reindeer shortage has be
come, in recent years, much too
acute. It has been estimated that
wolves have destroyed 500,000 of
Santa’s helpers within the last
decade or so, leaving an approx
imate 50,000.
The difficulty of keeping the ani
mals alive in a temperate climate
makes it unlikely that any of the
few remaining will be transported
'-IK
from their native regions to other
lands for the holiday season, as
has been done in the past.
American boys and girls will
have to be satisfied with stand-ins.
The few department stores featur
ing Santa’s complete outfit this
year will be using native deer as
substitute for Dasher, Prancer, and
company.

Did you know that the observ
ance of Christmas was once for
bidden in England—the home of
the Yule Log, the Carol-singer and
the wassailers?
During the Reformation many
believed the undue jollity of Christ-
matf day was sacrilegious. Parlia
ment, on December 24, 1652, or
dered that “no observance shall be
held of the five and twentieth day
of December, commonly called
Christmas day; nor any solemnity
used or exercised in churches upon
that day in respect thereof.”
This edict proved to be very un
popular with the masses of the
C topic. It was not until many years
ter, however, that Christmas was
again regarded as a holiday.
In extending our greeting to you, we'd be
neglecting something mighty importont if
foiled to include o wor£ of oppreciotion for
the friendly cooperation ond sincere good
will of those we serve —
We soy ot once "Merry Christmos" ond
