ZJke Santa J^egend Should (Be Cxplatned, Psychologist Says «</CHILDREN enjoy Santa Claus ^ more when they know what he really is,” Duke University psy chologist Dr. Gelolo McHugh says. “Ho one enjoys finding out that he has been kept in the dark,” says the specialist in child psychology, “and children are no exception.” The real meaning of Santa Claus is the joy of giving to make others happy, says Dr. McHugh, and no child should be deprived of this privilege. Later parents have the difficult Job of explaining that there is no jolly old Christmas man, Dr. Mc Hugh points out. When the truth comes out the parent has placed himself in the position of being re sponsible for Santa’s disappear ance. Santa should be a part of Christ mas, however. Dr. McHugh be lieves, but from the very begin ning, he should be treated as a wonderful pretend game. This method has proved successful with many children, the specialist says, ii.eluding his own two young boys. Children, who love to make-be lieve, are perfectly capable of en joying Santa,, reindeer, chimneys and all, while knowing in their hearts, when they stop to ask themselves, that he is a pretend person, he says. The child who takes part in the Santa game doesn’t have to won der on Christmas morning why Santa didn’t like him well enough to bring the expensive toys that were ordere* from the North Pole, the psychologist points out. The young Indianapolis mother who recently wrote a Christmas letter for her 5-year old son just before her death in an airplane crash, had wonderful understand ing, Dr. McHugh says. She ended her letter by telling her little son that “anyone who loves and gives is real Santa.” Mere’s Mow Zo Choose your Christmas Zree N EARLY 30,000,000 Christmas trees will be sold in the U. S. this year. Select one which will re tain its needles well indoors. A simple treatment will keep the needles from drying out, make the tree less flammable and keep it green longer. Choosing the tree: Select a bal sam or Douglas fir. Their needles will last two or three weeks in doors. A balsam is easily identified by its fragrance, rigid branches and two thick rows of needles which do not stab the hand. Doug las fir, the best of the firs, has long pointed red buds. Other firs have globose buds. All have soft needles. A spruce drops its needles soon after it’s placed in a warm room. A Norway spruce, however, makes an ideal community Christ mas tree outdoors. A white spruce is better than a Norway spruce for indoor use. Pines recognized by extra-long needles can be used. Hemlocks and junipers are of little value as Chfistmas trees. Preventing needle drop: Cut at a . slant an inch off the base and set the tree in a bucket of water or wet sand 24 hours before bringing it in the house. Then anchor tree firmly in a holder that contains water or moist sand. Do not place it near a radiator. Fire precautions: (Internally)— No tree can be made completely flame-proof. Government experts suggest reducing .flammability by standing tree in a solution of either ammonium sulfate, ammonium phosphate, calcium chloride or am monium sulfamate four to six days. First weigh tree and divide by four. That will be number of pounds of material required. To each pound add one and a half pint^ of water. During treatment, keep tree in cool, dark place. (Ex ternally)—Mix nine parts water glass (soluble sodium silicate) with one part water containing teaspoon of wetting agent (such as solvent soap) per quart. Dip tree into solution or spray it on tree. This will give shiny finish to needles. Christmas Greens: Measure height of ceiling before buying tree. If branches must be trimmed from tree, use them for door spray, mantel piece or swag for newel post. 1 4 *£« !k- mm s&isgs INFLATION . . . Santo super vises while one of Ms helpers inflates a doll.

Far-Off Lands Come to Life In Yule Toys EOGRAPHY comes down the chimney on Christmas Eve. In the flood of toys soon to spill out into the nation’s living rooms will be the touch of many different iands. Beside a teddy bear, replica of Australia’s marsupial furred koalas, perhaps will stand a carved wooden farm scene from German Bavaria, a South American gaucho doll, or a miniature pagoda made in Japan. Similarly, the United States, now the world’s leading toy maker, sends abroad its wild west cos tumes, its shiny playtime trucks and cars and earth-moving equip ment, its small-scale railroads and sky scrapers to delight children all over the globe. Toy industries in Germany and Japan are on the upswing again. Germany was among the first na tions in the world to make tin horses on wheels, engines that ran, animals that walked, birds that sang. Now U.S. buyers go back to cities such as Numberg for the out put of ingenious middle-aged in ventors. New toys that startle the world often come from Europe. One such is a German duck which, when set on an incline, proudly walks down the slope. Another is a recent gadg et from Denmark called a “tippe ‘op,’ a wobbly sphere about the size of a small apple that suddenly flips upside down and continues spinning on its stem. Winston Churchill was intrigued by the top when he first saw it. In Stockholm, the King of Sweden, a cabinet minister and an atom physicist, a Nobel Prize winner, got down on their hands and, knees at a banquet to study the mysterious Hip-flop action. \ As a mirror of mankind’s cul ture, toys reflect the progress of civilization. Yet an amazing sim ilarity can sometimes be seen be tween the toys of long-forgotten eras and the playthings of today. Man of Bethlehem. Jesus Christ is a God whom we can approach without pride, and before whom we may abase our selves Without despair.—Pascal. As the print of the seal on the wax is the express image of the seal itself, so Christ is the express image—the perfect representation of God.—Ambrose. The devotion to the person of Christ that steers clear of the doc trines and precepts of Christ, is but sentimental rhapsody. — Herrick Johnson. This is part of the glory of Christ as compared with the chiefest of His servants that He alone stands at the absolute center of humanity, the one completely harmonious man, unfolding all which was in numanity, equally and full on all sides, the only one in whom the real and ideal met and were abso- iutely one. He is the absolute and perfect truth, the highest that hu manity can reach; at once its per fect image and supreme Lord.— French. :,&2 M A fill m NATIVITY SCENE . . . This scene is repeated on thousands of lawns of private homes and public buildings in the home towns of the nation during the Christmas season. Christmas 'Open House' Was Early Saxon Custom A t CHRISTMASTIDE, the great hall of the Saxon lord was thrown open to peasant and noble alike—all mingling democratically and exchanging gifts and hearty cheer during a great feast and fes tivities composed of dance and song. With a tremendous burst of shouting, the Yule Log was dragged into the hall and placed upon the open fire pit. These demo cratic Christmas festivities lasted until the last dying embers of the leg. In our south, prior to the Civil War, the slaves, following this Sax on custom, would soak a log in the cypress swamps to extend the length of their Christmas freedom.
