CHOOSING TOYS Toys are toys where the young toddlers are concerned, says one leading manufacturer. The time to begin selecting masculine things for boys and feminine ones for girls begins when the child reach es the age of six. A sure way to determine a child’s preference in toys is to take the child to the toy shop and watch his reaction. It will be easy to see which type of toys he likes best. Birth of Christ Man’s Big Moment Practically everyone knows that the notation “B.C.”following dates means “before Christ.” How about “A.D.”? This notation means “in the year of our Lord” and was first affixed by Charles III of Ger many who began attaching the symbolism to the years of his reign in 879. The system of retroactively dat ing the years prior to the Saviour’s birth and dedicating the succeed ing years to His Greater Glory was invented, along with the Christian era, by a monk about 532 A.D. The Christian era begins on Jan uary 1 in the middle of the fourth year of the 194th Olympiad, the 753rd year of the building of Rome and in 4714 of the Julian Period. The Julian period, invented by Joseph Scaliger, about 1583 A.D., was devised by multiplying the lunar cycle 19, solar cycle 28 and the Roman indication 15. Centuries before, about 4,000 B.C., the Egyptians devised a cal endar based on the Mundane era of Alexander, estimating the “be ginning” to be about 5502 B.C. Holiday Stains Need Attention Removing Christmas stains from fabrics- such as ink. candle wax, glue or chocolate—calls for prompt action. Carbon tetrachloride is best to remove ballpoint ink. Soak gar ment in warm soap or detergent suds, wash and rinse in clear wa ter. If discoloration remains on white or bleachfast material, use a mild bleach and launder again. Scrape excess candle wax off garment with a table knife. Place stained spot between white blot ters and press with hot iron. Then rub gently with turpentine and wash in warm suds. For glue stain, soak fabric in warm suds until dissolved; laun der in fresh warm suds. For chocolate or cocoa stain, wash in hot suds. Treat remaining stain with weak solution of house hold bleach or hydrogen peroxide and launder again in hot suds. CARD FAVORITES The Nativity Scene is by far the most popular Christmas card illustration, followed by winter scenes. In recent years, the works of great masters have been fea tured. One modern-day artist, Grandma Moses has become fa mous for Christmas illustrations. AUTHENTIC . . . Framed in entrance-way to simulated grotto, this Nativity scene at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows near Belleville, Illinois features life-like figures carved of linden wood. Only the animals are painted, and they are positioned to lend depth to this familiar Christmas scene. Don’t Use Too Many Tree Lights A beautiful Christmas tree won’t Tree Height (ft.) No. Tree Lights look its best unless it is properly decorated. Too many lights on the tree can spoil total effect as well as too few lights. lig] The size of the tree determines how many lights you need. A six- foot tree requires about 80 bulbs. Here is a table for other size trees. & % r 3 4 5 6 7 8 1C 24 36 56 81 110 144 225 ’GAtf MS s®} ; "iMi Make your own holiday deco rations—and enjoy them more— by letting the whole family get into the act. Let the youngsters put their imagination to work bending pipe cleaners into various shapes. Dipped into a whipped soap mixture or sprayed with mica, they will make interesting and colorful tree decorations. Small drinking cups (not the | wax-coated variety, of course) can be colored with crayons or poster paint to make Christmas bells. Pine cones are an old favorite. Painted or sprayed, they add color wherever used as decora tions. Walnuts, pecans or other nuts from a Christmas basket can be put to use as well. Let children wrap them in aluminum foil or scraps of colored foil to make tinsel balls. j NATIONAL TREE In 1926, the U.S. Department of the Interior officially desig nated a “National Christnv.s ; Tree*’-—a giant Sequoia located j in King’s Canyon National Parle, ! California. A coniferous evergreen, the | redwood trunk of the Sequoia rises 267 feet. It is estimated 5 to be 4,000 years old, which \ means it was growing 2,000 i years before the birth of Christ ; iu Bethlehem. SAY, NOW ... Did yon hear that? Sure did sound like rein deer clattering up on the roof. ' Could it be time for Santa yet? miliar figure of Santa in the Christmas book is a delight to the heart of childhood. The merry old gentleman in the red suit is a very special person to these youngsters. Say 'Moist’ Tree; Keen It That Way A moist Christmas tree is a: fresh one. A dry Christmas tree is a fire hazard. These are the simple facts of Yuletide tree selection. Remem- them and you won’t go wrong in buying the family Christmas tree. You can t gauge a tree’s mois- time or dryness entirely by ap- p?arance. Some species retain laeir color fairly well even when ory enough to burst into fiame at the first spark or short-circuit. Feeling, not seeing, is the an- svrer. Feel twigs and needles to determine if they are dry and brittle. Then bang the tree butt against the floor. If a shower of needles resuits, look for another, moister tree.
