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.

INFLATION . . . Santo super

Perhaps he is thinking inflation
is not confined to economics.
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.

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.
