DEC. 7, 1972 Be A Donor Make A Gift Of Life This Christmas Volunteer blood donations always plunge to a very low level at Christmas. While donations decline during most other holiday periods too, the downtrend is acute at Christmas because we’re so busy with activities outside our normal routine and simply do not schedule ourselves to donate blood. The Red Cross blood program suffers a below demand shortage which results in postponment of all but the most urgent surgery needs, and at a time when the accident rate is skyrocketing. To combat the shortage the American Red Cross intensifies their program of collections in communities, and to hopefully pre vent dangerous emergencies. Meanwhile, it is time for us to check ourselves on what we can do. Vow to make a Christmas gift of your blood and get a friend (between ages 18 and 66) to go with you to contribute, too. Check the last time you donated, and, if you’re eligible, donate now. While you’re at it, join a blood “bank account” for your own or dear one’s use whenever needed. Vou could save a life You could also save thousands of dollars in a future emergency. CHRISTMAS IS EASIER You divide your shopping days into two days and two evenings per week. It will be less tiring and frustrating. You Gift wrap as you go along rather than waiting until all your shopping is done. You Include all the members of the family for decorating the house and yard. Easier for you and fun for all. You Organize your gift list ahead of shopping and include everyone’s clothing sizes, hobbies, sports, reading and other pre ferences. MODERN DAY GIFT jjft WRAPPINGIDMSg^P Among the more frantic tasks of the approaching frantic sea son is the Christmas wrapping trauma. Organize this task to save your nerves and your pock etbook. If you choose one color scheme and stick to it, your pack ages will look more individual and you won’t have ribbons and papers that don’t match each other. A large size roll of plastic tape in a heavy dispenser is a good in vestment. If you are fortunate to have one room where you can confine this operation, you won’t have to put everything away every time you stop. Tie-on tags don’t slither off the package leaving you to wonder who it was intended for. If you can ( find , a place to hang the scissors in plain view, you won’t spend time hunting for them.

HERE’S CHEERS . . . Specially decorated Christmas glassware can be the hit of your Christmas party. Designs include Santas, chimneys, holly and berries, reindeer, candles and other Christmas keyed decorative touches. The Most j| Beautiful The first and perhaps the most beautiful story is related in the second chapter of the Gospel ac cording to St. Matthew: Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem. Saying, where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him . . . And he sent them to Bethle hem, and said, Go and search dili gently for the child; and when you have found him, bring me Your card list is pruned before writing begins - there are always people on them who are really more than the ghosts of Christ mases past. Cooking is the final phase of Christmas before the fun of en tertaining begins. Figure out what you can cook ahead of time to freeze: puddings, pies, sweet breads, appetizers and homemade fudge, among other things. Plan out everything ahead of time and you’ll be relaxed and ready for Christmas when it comes. It is much less expensive and less troublesome to buy one very large roll of paper than to invest in costly packaged paper that turns out to have two square sheets which are usually too small for large packages. Also, large yardage belts of ribbon are more satisfactory and cheaper in the long run than ribbons mea sured in feet. A new-look Christmas wrapping scheme is black and white with a sharp color accent. White paper with a fine black stripe or black and-white tied up with brilliant orange, canary yellow, acid green, or a favorite bright color of yours, will make a good looking package, Reminder: T Always insure Christmas pack ages when mailing. word again, that I may come and worship him also. When they had heard the king, they departed: And, 10, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: And when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold and frankincense, and myhrr.

Include Strong Chain For Christmas Bicycle Police reports the country over reveal that after money, jewels and a few other valuables items bicycles, especially the scarce and expensive 10 speed models, are prime targets for professional thieves. Police advise that the best as surance a parked bicycle will still be there when its owners returns is the regular use of a case hard ened steel chain teamed with a strong padlock. The chain should be wound around the bicycle frame and a solidly planted post. For best results the chain should be placed well off the ground to minimize the amount of leverage a thief could apply to a heavy duty bolt cutter. Early Bethlehem Name Meant ‘House of Bread' The ancient name of Bethle hem was Beit Lahm, meaning house of bread. The name is no less striking for its spiritual sig nificance, Bethlehem being the place where the world’s “Bread of Life” was brought forth. In this connection it is interesting to note that the primeval wheat, which is the original of the cul tivated wheat, has been found wild only in this country. Real St. Nicholas Was Early Bishop Although it is customary to re gard him as a myth, there actual ly was a real St. Nicholas, an early Christian bishop, who lived during the fourth century. It was because of his unusual generosity that our ideas of the modern saint have developed. St. Nicholas lived in what is now modern Tur key. He spent his life and riches helping the poor and giving gifts to children in Holland and many other European countries. Boxes, Not Stockings In Puerto Rico The children in Puerto Rico put boxes on the roof instead of hanging stockings inside, for San ta to put their gifts in. A most picturesque and beautiful cele bration known as “Bethlehem Day” is observed by the children on January 12th, in memory of the coming of the Magi. It con sists of a procession through the streets led by three children, dressed as the Wise Men of the East in colorful costumes, and riding on ponies or horses, hold ing the gifts for the Infant King in their hands. Then follow num erous angels, shepherds, and flute players. ti ,#IM ttMKffr I-V p O \/ Crowds are always a part of holiday travel, no matter how you go. Plan your holiday trip for times when other people are least likely to be traveling and to places others are least likely to visit. For example, on a major holi day like Christmas, most travel ers leave for their destination as soon as the work day ends the day before the holiday and return as close as possible to the end of the last free day. If you’re willing to forego a few hours of your hol iday, you could wait until late the night before or the following morning to leave; and if the place to go this holiday seems to be the sunny south of winter beach re sorts, you could select the moun tains instead, and probably find serenity. jSsj&M-,- mt j^sa Wm %: Hit'/* asyS ■pHK JLs .

Legend of the Christmas Tree" Most explanations concerning the origin of the Christmas tree are legendary. In Pre-Christian times the evergreen was wor shipped, used as a symbol of im mortality and was thought to have various magical properties. This has complicated the problem of historical accuracy. Aside from the specific idea of the Christmds tree, evergreen decorations in th home have been popular amonj; many central European people from Pre-Christian times. ‘S The Christmas tree as we think of it today originated rather la(e and stems from Christian, rathe? than pagan, tradition. O Each country adopting the Christmas tree added its owjj, ornament ideas. Each addition ln volvcd some legendary or actual idea symbolizing man’s homage to the newborn King. Some idea£ originated in superstition but were not intended as such, buC rather as a symbol of the idea, that the coming of the Christ’ Child meant an end to the dark ness of pre-Christian beliefs. O Germans Brought Tree to America s The Christmas tree came tor’ America from Germany. The first:, decorated trees in the country were set up by homesick Hessian troops during the Revolutionary.' War. It was many years, however,) before the custom itself began. One of the first trees was set up by Charles Follen, a GermaiU professor at Harvard, in 1832, President Franklin Pierce did much to spread the custom by having a Christmas tree in the White House in the 1850’s. Presir,,, dent Benjamin Harrison contin : "' ued the practice and soon th6-‘ Christmas tree became an Amer ican tradition. >a "-•X> Tree Lights Were American Idea tft! One of the most important com., tributions to the Christmas tree*; is the American invention of elec-* 1 trie lights. Thanks to Thomasrf Edison we can enjoy The Chris^—, mas tree in a multitude of color-’’ ed lights, without the tragedieSf l that marked so many homes when candles were in use. h Tree lights for outdoor decor-*’ ations is another American corn’ tribution to the holiday atmos>a phere. The custom of decorating _ front yards, windows, and home?'’ with lights has become and entire communities are now* > lighted with decorative for the season. YUGOSLAVIA- 1; "Sretan Bozic” 0 :: ob In Yugoslavia the Yule log was often selected months in advance"’ so it could be felled and allowed?' to dry before the ritual of its. burning began. All who helped bring in the‘- Yule log were safe from witctefc craft during the year, so whole family participated in the’, effort. tA The Yugoslavian Christmas tree is distinguished particular,,- ly by the many angels in its dec- ' oration. For angels have an im- SJ portant duty to perform onh Christmas Eve. As they proclaim,., the birth of the infant King, they’ dip their wings in the village springs and thus purify the water. * Santa’s Spirit All over our land, the spirit of „ Santa Claus still lives. For weeks v ’ before Christmas, countless in dividuals work unselfishly prepar-,. ing holiday cheer for underpriv ileged children and adults. So, no’-'* matter what the good old Sainbi<s is called - Jule-nissen, Sankt Nik olaus, Sint Nicolaas, Santa Klaas, Father Christmas, Petit Jesus, 'J Pore Noel, Befana, Kriss Kringle, or Krist Kindlein - his name is a synonym for unselfish giving. :!c; to GIVE A BOOK -KM Time was when a Christmas gift book was considered a stock- . ing stuffer -as a little something extra.
