PAGE TWO THE NEWBERRY SUN FRIDAY DECEMBER 26, 1952 X/fANY HOLIDAY ideas are 1VJ very simple in their thought and may be made at home with almost no expense whatsoever. Try some of these which will give holiday greetings: Christmas cookies for the young sters who come to call can be wrapped individually in gay tissue paper and placed in a drum at a hall table. Make the drum out of a cardboard carton and cover with striped paper. • These make attractive orna ments for thp tree plus giving cheer to those who come to call. Wrap small pieces of your own fruit cake in metallic paper and tie with ribbon to boughs of the Christmas tree. If you’re giving aprons away, which you’ve sewed yourself, wrap the package in the same material in which the apron was made and use as ribbon whatever was used for trimming. Knitted presents can be wrapped m tissue paper (white) and may be tied with the various colored bits of yam which were used for knitting. RECIPE OF THE WEEK Green Christmas Salad (Serves 6-8) 1 package lime-flavored gela tin 1 cup boiling water % cup orange juice 1 cup orange sections 1 unpeeled red apple, cut ?n strips 2 cups cottage cheese Lettuce or other greens Make wool snowballs out of white felt if you have some around and use these for tying to bright red or green ribbon in bows on presents. Dissolve gelatin in boiling water. ' Add orange juice. Chill until thick and syrupy. Gently fold in orange sections and apple strips. Spoon in- j to molds. When firm, unmold in a circle on lettuce. Serve cottage cheese in center, with soured cream or salad dressing. Socks for the fireplace may be made out of bright red or green quilted chintz or from felt. For decorations, sew on bells, sequins or paste on the name, also cut from felt. GRASS & CLOVER IS BREAD A MEAT Growing grass and clover to gether is a bread and meat propo sition. The grass is the bread to the animals and the clover is the meat. This is true, since grass is high in carbohydrates, and clover is high in proteins. “There are two main reasons,’’ says T. B. Amis, Work Unit Con servationist, Soil Conservation Ser vice, “for growing a legume with grass. One is to supply nitrogen to the grass. The other one is to give a better ‘ balanced feed rich in both protein and carbohy drates.” A good balance of grass and clover is desirable because it re duces the danger of bloating of the animals. A summary of research results recently released from the Missi ssippi Experiment Station states that at least 50 percent by weight of grass is necessary to give rea sonable protection from bloat in a grass-clover pasture. This is the practical answer to bloat control, the research summary states. Re search information at this station also indicates that tall fescue, due to its fibruous nature and its growth characteristics, appears to be the best grass for bloat control in this area. To have a balanced feed, accord ing to Mr. Amis, you must have a balance between grass and clover. “If you slice your meat too thick and your bread too thin, it might make you sick,” he says. In order to get this balance, he thinks fescue should be sown at a rate of about one pound per acre. The fescue should be planted by “If Ladino clover is seeded at rate, it should give about fifty- balance between grass and if good management practices are observed.” When mowing is done for weed control, the grass should be ped about four inches high, enables the grass to come baflk better than closer clipping, and the grass helps prevent bloat, accord ing to Mississippi Experiment Sta tion Research. Fescue and sericea can be grown together. Sericea is a non- bloating legume. This makes a good soil conserving combination and also reduces the bloat haz ard. Sericea can be planted on land that is usually not suited for cultivation but land that needs cover. and clover are in many planted on lowlands not for cultivation. Either corn- decreases erosion where- ever planted on sloping land. IE, T. B. Amis, local technician of the Soil Conservation Service, re- that farmers cooperating the Newberry County Soil District have plant- acres of permanent win- thttf fall. THAT IMMORTAL CHRISTMAS ESSAY—YES, VIRGINIA “Yes, indeed! “Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age—they do not believe except what they see--they think that nothing can be which is not com prehensible by their little minds. “All minds, Virginia, whether they be mens or children’s are little. “In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence cap able of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Glaus. “He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion ex ist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make toler able this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. “Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! “You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but if they did not see Santa Clau& coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus—the most real things in the world are those neither children nor men can see. “Did you ever see fairies danc ing on the lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there — nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders that are unseen and unseeable in the world. “You tear apart the baby’s rat tle and see what makes the noise in side, but there is a veil cover ing the unseen world which not the strongest man, or even the united strength of all the strongest men, that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, ro mance, can push aside the curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. “Is it all real?—ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus! “Thank God!—he lives, and he lives forever—a thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten thou sand years from now, he will con tinue to make glad the heart of childhood.” NOTICE CITY TAXES All unpaid 1951 taxes will go in execution on January 1,1953.
