USE OF NATIVE GREENS AND

Now is the time to make your
home as cheery as the season itself,

a place for large family and friend

festivity of the Christmas season
is due to Christmas decorations,
which are usually in evidence whe
ther or not there is a Christmas
tree. The abundance, beauty and
variety of such decorations can of-!
ten be enhanced by a judicious gar-J use j
of material obtained from the

are appropriate Christmas season

in recent years a decided senti

use Of living Christmas trees. It has
^ throughout the country and
led many nursery men to grow stock
specially for this purpose to be sold
in tubs or 1n stron * burla PP ed

have municipaUy decorated living
Christmas trees in a central park;
others similarly treat rows of tree,
growing along certain streets.
In different parte of the country
different kinds of evergreen trees
are used for the Christmas celebra

often used but almost without ex

type.
CHRISTMAS IS ALMOST HERE
Mamie Ozburn Odum
We must hurry, we must scurry,
And seek the hills and dells,
Gather mistletoe and cedar
For the Christmas wreath and bells
The sky is soft, the air is new,
There is no sign of snow,
Listen! Strain your ears and listen,
Hear the Elfin bugles blow!
j
We must hurry- we must scurry
There's something in the air,
That seems to tell of Bethlehem
And the glory of it there.
i It seems to bring the old refrain
To fill our dreams of rest,
Ring out today, your carols gay,
Ring in the true, the blest!
We must hurry, we must scurry,
' Gather smilax, holly, too.
HanK thp evergreens so spicy
Show what Christmas means to you
We must hurry, we must scurry,
And seek the hills and dells,
Garner mistletoe and cedar
For the Christmas wreath and bells.
