That Specie of European
History or Its Legend
The mistletoe of history and leg
end is a different specie than our
American natives, and is found in
Europe.
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

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.

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.
