It’s an old, old story that’s new every year for thousands of chil dren, this visiting Santa in the big department store to talk about what’s to be in the Christ mas stocking. Most always, there’s a proud parent standing nearby to do a little prompting if necessary. Mistletoe, the most popular New Year’s and Christmas green, has been an emblem of purity, friend ship and goodwill since ancient Greek times.

E, TURNER, JEWELER 1103 CALDWELL STREET NEWBERRY, S. C. CHRISTMAS TREE . . . The holiday tree is as important to a good Christmas for the children as is the visit by Santa Claus. Bringing in the tree, like the an cient custom of bringing in the Yule Log, has become an Ameri can tradition cherished by the younger generation, Hovef CliriJtmaA ^decorations VJue Do Presents - With so many gifts to wrap this 1 time of the year, paper, cards, rib bons, seals and other package dec orations can add up to quite a sum. By using a little imagination, these costs can be kept at a mini mum. \ Ends of wallpaper rolls, whether left over from your own walls *or bought as odd stock at your local paint store, are especially pretty for large packages. Even newspa pers can be used to wrap large packages and the want-ad section is more attractive than the other pages. Small pieces of aluminum foil or shelf paper from the end of the roll are excellent for wrapping smaller packages. Or if you have a young child who fingerpaints, why not wrap gifts in some of his paintings. White tissue paper can be made quite appealing by spattering it with red or green ink or water with food coloring added. For seals, ^cut out cdlored pic tures from magazines, old Christ mas cards or even small bits of wrapping paper and paste them on the package. Or you can paste them on a small piece of folded construction paper to make an en closure card. Acorns, pine cones or oak leaves, painted or shellacked and tied on top of the package will catch the eye of both young and old. ■ * " Y r-Y , ■-y Y' 'Ys SAVE THE TREE If your tree holder is the type that allows the butt of the tree to rest in water, you can help keep needles from dropping by dissolv ing plant food in the water. If you use a pebble or rock-filled pail to support the tree, cover the pebbles or rock with a plant food solution. Use one teaspoonful of plant food (or one plant food tablet) to each gallon of water in the container.
