The specie found in the South At lantic states is called Phoraden’dron (Greek word meaning "tree thief”) flavescens. It is found most often oij the following trees: tupelo, red maple, poplar, willow, cypress, juni per, apple, locust and linden trees. Occasionally, but not often, it oc curs in oaks. The plant in its wild state is gath ered by collectors for sale during the Christmas holidays. Because it burns clean with a hot, even flame, you’ll like Sinclair SuperFlame Kerosene for both cooking and heat ing. And its bright, clean burning makes it idea! for many uses on the farm or in the home. SuperFlame’s pure, water-white color tells you that all waste elements that cause odor and smoking are removed by expert refining. Try Sinclair SuperFlame Kerosene, Animals Warmed Holy Infant in Bethlehem Many legends attribute the power of speech to birds and ani mals during the midnight hour of Christmas Eve in recognition of the beasts who, sharing the stable of Bethlehem, warmed the Holy Infant with their breath. To honor these traditions, Po lish children masquerade in ani mal costumes on Christmas Eve. Was Founded by Medieval Tableau in Old Naples In 1787, Goethe described Naples as the city of Christinas Cribs: every church had its “Praesepe” and fami lies erected evergreen shrines with in their homes and upon the flat roof-tops of their dwellings where Vesuvius and the starlit Neapolitan sky created a Hollywood-like back- ground. St. Francis of Assisi received spe cial perm'.ssion from the Vatican to present a Christmas tableau in 1223. This first “Praesepe,” set up in the chancel of the church in Greccio, Italy, was complete with real live animals.

Added—SELECTED SHORTS Follow These Simple Precautions To Avoid Accidents at Christmas 'T'HE traditionally joyous Christmas holidays are marred for many fami- ■ L lies by tragic accidents resulting directly from holiday festivities. By following these simple, logical precautions, you can make sure that none of these mishaps occur in your home. Many of the Christmas accidents center around the Christmas tree. Most of the strings of lights decorating this season’s trees have been in use for three or four years because of war time conservation measures. Broken in sulation and loose wires at the socket are dangerous. If you have done some ama teur wiring, such-as joining two strings of lights together, be sure that the joinings are wrapped suf ficiently in electric wiring tape to pre vent accidents. Although Christmas candles are appearing more and more rarely on trees, they are still taking a yearly toll of lives and accidents. Open flame lighting is dangerous at its best and must be accompanied by nu merous and constant precautions if disaster is to be avoided. It is better to have no lights at all, than to risk costly fires from candles. Toys, intended to enchant the youngsters at Christmas, can be another potential source of accidents. It is therefore wise to look over your children’s toys and see that they are safe to play with. The best-meaning uncle or aunt could have picked out a toy with a rough edge, a sharp corner or a splintery handle. It is also wise to look over your youngster’s toys and pick out the ones that are not suitable for his age. A two-year-old with a tool chest, for instance, can do damage to both himself and his baby brother, if given a free hand with a hammer and saw. While the litter from Christmas packages is still about, be particularly careful of your smoking. Some hot ashes dropped on thin tissue paper or a carelessly tossed match could result in serious damage. Unless your Christmas tree decorations are guaranteed fireproof, they, too, can be a source of danger.
