Select Tree
That Suits Need
For the family, especially the
family with young children, noth
ing can replace the traditional
Christmas tree, decorated as they
have always done it. Select a
bushy green evergreen, equipped
with stand that will hold water.
If the children have grown and
gone or you are living in a small
apartment, buy a small evergreen
and use a deep vase on top of a
chest. This may be the solution
for newlyweds who can’t get
home for Christmas or for a
widow too. Decorate it to suit
your taste and put presents
around it. Your own little tree
will add a bit of cheer.
Buy an ivy tree from your
florist for use in a one room
apartment. Decorate it with tiny
balls from the dime store - this
will make a useful table decor
ation and the ivy tree itself will
last for several months after
Christmas as a green plant.
In recent years St. Nick has
gone quite modern by arriving
from his home at the North Pole
in different manners. In many
cases he seems to w r ant to leave
his eight reindeer and sleigh at
home, and use a new method of
transportation. Cities, all over
the country, vie with each other
in finding novel ways to bring
him to the communities. Not long
ago Santa arrived in Chicago by
parachute; he was luckier that
year than a St. Nick who tried
the same method in Florida, but
got caught in some wires when
making his descent.
At one naval station Santa
thrilled the youngsters as he
stepped from a helicopter, carry
ing a big bag of presents. When
he arrived in a DC-6 escorted by
fighter planes at Lockheed Air
terminal a crowd of 25,000 people
gave him a rousing welcome.
At cities on the seacoast, he
has arrived by boat, elsewhere,
fire trucks, mule drawn wagons,
old fashioned stagecoaches - all
have been used for his transpor
tation.
Ancient Hebrew Prayer
For the New Year
Mai/ it be Tht/ will,
Our God and God of our fathers.
That this coming i/ear be unto
all Thy people:
A year of blessings,
A year of plenty,
A year of assembly in the
sanctuary,
A year of happy life from Thee,
A year of dew and rain and warmth,
A year in which Thou wilt bless
our bread and water,
A year in which Thy mercies
will be moved toward us,
A year of peace and tranquility
in which Thou wilt set a
blessing upon the work of
our hands.
Glad Christmas Tidings
Let us glory in God's promise of Joy and Peace
on Earth, Good Will to all men.
