MINE EYES HAVE
SEEN THE GLORY
"And those that walked in darkness saw a
great light... The Star of the Prince of Peace*
listen to the Salutation of the Dawn!
Look to this day!
For it is life, the very Star of Life.
In its brief course lie all the varieties flbdi
realities of existence;
The bliss of growth;
The glory of action;
The splendor of beauty;
For yesterday is already a dream,
and tomorrow is only a vision.
Bat today, well lived, makes every yesterday
A dream of happiness, and every tomorrow
a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day!
Such was the salutation of the*Star of Dawn
on earth!

Some Toys Pose
Eye-Injury Threat
Eye injuries are a particular
dangerous hazard from soir
Christmas toys, writes Dr. Da
Currie, in the North Carolir
Medical Journal.
Notable among such toys, h
says, is the missile—throwin
toys, including everything fror
sling-shot to air rifle. Archer,
sets with metal-tipped arrows ac
count for their share of damage*
eyes, he adds. Arrows with rub
ber vacuum cups are safer, bu>
even these can sometimes dam
age an eye. Severe injuries have
resulted from the plastic, spring
action toy pistols that propel
sticks capped with rubber cups.
The air rifle, or B-B gun, is still
a constant threat, even though its
use is forbidden in many com
munities. If you give your child
an air rifle, impress upon him
the danger of the ricochet. Many
of the air rifle eye injuries come
from the small shot bouncing ofi
a fence post or side of a house. A
target backed with a bag of cot
ton, sand or straw is a “must”
for the air rifle marksman.

In France, where the season’s
greeting is “Joyeux Noel,” many
homes now have Christmas trees
as well as the traditional creche
populated with terra cotta figures
called santons. This custom can
be traced back to the 12th century
when it took the form of a liturgi
cal drama.
Young French children, like
children throughout the world,
will—or should—be asleep when
the adult members of the family
return home from Midnight Mass
on Christmas Eve. If they happen
to be awake, as they often are,
they may take part in the Reveil
lon. This elaborate feast of many
courses begins with pate de foie

plementing cheeses and fruits.
Topping off the meal is the tradi
tional buche de Noel, a log-shaped
cake with chocolate icing simulat
ing bark.
Before retiring for the night,
the family places its shoes by the
fireplace in anticipation of a visit
from “Pere Noel.”
Check Evergreens
For Diseases
Before discarding hemlock and
yew used as indoor Christmas
greens this season examine the
needles.
Fleck-size, shell-shaped objects
white gray to brown in color may
be evidence of fiorina externa
scales. These destructive insects
are found on the underside of the
needles.
The male of this pest when
abundant give the undersurface
of hemlock needles a white-wash
appearaace. This insect usually
attacks hemlock but sometimes
found on yew. If the greens with
this scale were plucked from your
garden then steps toward control
should be taken next spring. A
series of precisely timed sprays
will be necessary.
If the greens were purchased
elsewhere, burn them to be on
the safe side.

''P HIS WAS going to be the kind
* of Christmas that Danny had
always dreamed about. He’d done
v e J in his hardware store this
ye~r. and his success was to be
renecied in the presents he was
giv mg his ‘gang’. Danny’s gang
was made up of three wonderful
persons: Mary his wife who would
be speechless when she saw the
merchandise coupon that would
cover a mink coat; Kathy his
daughter would soon have a new
bedroom suite; and sixteen year
old Kelly who would flip when he
saw the new hi-fi set that Danny
had ordered for him. Kelly’s real
name was Philip Kelvin, but ev
eryone had always caUed him
Kelly. Danny felt like a king this
afternoon as he strutted about
the appliance store, the smiling
salesman at his heels. Now he
stepped back for a final look at
his latest purchase.
“Your son will be delighted
with the set, sir,” said the sales
man. “It’s one of our best. I’m
sorry that we can’t promise to
make delivery in time for Christ
mas, however.”
A man owes it to himself to
become successful. Once successful
he owes it to the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue.
Danny and his gang always
exchanged gilts on Christmas
Eve.
The salesman handed him two
leaflets describing the set. Danny
stuffed them into his topcoat pock
et and left the store. Outside it
was snowing. He pulled his collar
close and faced into the wind.
What he needed on a night like
this was a good drink, Danny de
cided. He would stop at Marty’s
place on the way home.
“Suppose you bought your wife
and kids a new car each?”
“Knock it off! Business wasn’t
that good. I did buy a dandy hi-fi
set for Kelly though.”
“Did he ask for one?”
“Of coarse not. He wouldn’t
expect me to spend that much on
him.”
“Then why’d you buy it? You
like hi-fi?” asked Marty.
“Yes — yes, I suppose I do.
Haven’t really given it much
thought. Matter of fact, all Kelly
asked for was a wristwatch. Lot
of difference between a wrist-
watch and a hi-fi set isn’t there,
Marty?”
“Yeah. Guess it depends on
what a person really wants
though. Your wife and daughter—
I suppose you’re buying them
what they asked for?”
“Doing even better. Mary
wouldn’t expect a mink coat in
a million years—but I’m giving
her a coupon big enough to buy
one.”
Remembering
Marty came over and put his
’elbows on the bar. “When I was
a kid I wanted one of them chem
istry sets for Christmas. 1 dream
ed about it every night, and looked
at catalogs during the day. So
what did I get? A pair of roller
skates with rubber tires. Think
it made any difference to me that
the skates cost more than the set
I wanted?”
“You mean my gang might not
like what I’m getting them?”
Marty shrugged. “If you bought
me a gold-plated chess set it
wouldn’t be any good to me I
don’t play chess.”
Danny thought about it all that
night. The next morning he made
his decision. He would buy the
things for which his gang had
been hinting during the past three
months. Mary wanted a certain
electric percolator, Kathy had
asked for a desk, and Kelly want
ed the watch. These items would
cost a fraction of the price oi
Kelly’s hi-fi alone. Come to think
of it, Marty was right. Danny
HAD wanted that hi-fi set for him
self.
Tradition
Danny and his gang always ex
changed presents on Christmas
Eve. It was a ritual that took
place each year before the open
fireplace.
When Mary and the children
opened their presents Danny was
mobbed. “Exactly what I
wanted!” cried Kelly holding his
watch up to the tree lights
Mary leaned over the back of
Danny’s chair to kiss him “That’s
right, dear. This year you bought
the things we really wanted. And
here is your present; it will be
delivered next week.” She held
the two hi-fi pamphlets under the
startled Danny’s nose'
Don’t look back, someone may
be gaining on you.
