Dear Friends: Once again we are impressed with the rea lization of how very much the world needs Christ today. How much we all need him! His hands are full of blessings for those who will only receive Him. In weakness, He is our strength; in poverty, He is our wealth, and in suffering, He is our consolation. Yes, for each of us, He is the way of truth and of life. His teachings are the only solution to the world's problems, for His way is the only guarantee of true peace; peace between nation and nation, and peace between man and man. May the Spirit of Christmas abide in your heart, and may God's richest blessings be yours, is the Christmas wish of, Hilton and Janice Morgan EARN THE MOST ...

County Commis sioners Decorating Customs of Yule Season In Sweden, the livingroom door is locked the day before Christmas, so no one can peek while the tree is being deco rated. After a Christmas Eve feast, the door is opened to re veal a beautifully adorned tree with candles. On it and at its base are pretty packages of intricate shapes and sizes. Ira Norway, the Julenisse leaves gifts after the hearty Chirstmas eve meal of spe cial holiday dishes. The chil dren must leave something for the Julenisse to eat and there is a special Christmas tree set out for the birds. In Poland and Hungary, the first star must appear in the heavens Christmas Eve, be fore dinner can be served. After dinner, the family gath ers around the Christmas tree; a prayer is said, carols sung and the packages opened. For Swiss children 1 , it is the Chriskindli angle who comes driving six reindeer with a tov-filled sleigh to load the Christmas tree. While familiar carols are sung, the world famed Swiss bells add their music to the snowy scene. In Liberia palm trees are used as Christmas trees and such simple things as beads, soap and dress material serve as decorations. In Iceland shrub branch es are tied to a stake to create a Christmas tree and it is the Jola-Sveinar (nine good na tured goblins) who some down from their mountain workshop each Chnstmas to leave toys for all the children. And when the makeshift tree is lighted, the familv sings carols with as much Christmas snirit as will be found in any land. "THE PHONE NUMBER OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS .....” Christmas Very Warm 'Down Under' In sweltering Sydney, Aus tralia the temperature hovers around 90 degrees, but Santa Claus manfully endures red flannel and ersatzermine . . . in air-conditioned stores. Although the climate resists the traditional 7-course Christ mas dinner, the frosted effect on tree and window, the youngsters won’t let the old sters relax. They want the whole “package” and they get it. Christmas trees are every where. Shops spray imitation* frosting on show windows. The tradition of following the old traditions is a tradi tion in’ itself. Australia was colonized by convicts. “They were people who didn’t want to be here, half a world from their homes.” explains a gov ernment official. “The best thing they could do was to try to make the country as much like the old country as possible. They started by fol lowing the old customs.” Today the waves of immi grants settling the continent may come willingly but Christ mas can bring nostalgia. Oddly, the customs follow ed are more American than Bristish or other origin. It’s Santa Claus the childhen write to, no Father Christmas. And grumbling housewives slave over roasting turkey, not goose. “Os course,” notes a London radio writed, “the Brisish themselves are adopting the American customs, so it’s not surprising the Australians are, too.” THE JOY OF GIVING Somehow, not only for Christ mas But all the year through, The joy that you give to others Is the joy that comes back to you; And the more you spend in blessing The poor and lonely and sad, The more of your hearts pos sessing Returns to make you glad. —John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) biotl- May the holidays ring in happiness for you! James E. Hart Jeweler | Waycross, Georgia | Exchanging of Christmas Gifts Began in U. S. Americans are famous the world over for their generosity toward other peoples, other nations. It seems only fitting that they for the most part originated the gift exchange idea at Christmas. In many parts of Europe Christ mas is strictly a religious day. Gift - giving does not “intrude” on the solemn traditions. Gift-giving as such dates back to the Roman Emperor from a bout 27 B. C. to 363 A. D. Every one sent the Emperor gifts at the start of the New Year. Later the Romans brought this custom into their own lives, among the “com mon” people. As the Roman cul ture spread throughout Europe, so did their new custom. The ancient Chinese also cele brated the New Year by exchang ing gifts; they introduced gift wrapping and paper honeycomb. But Christmas gift — exchange seems to have begun in the U. S. GIFT WRAPPING 60-YEAR CUSTOM The idea of gift-wrapping came to the United State less than 60 years ago. g 19^6 % lOr a «W j I to !
