DAIRYMEN OF NEWTON COUNTY remind you io sup
ply Santa Claus with plenty of ice cold milk and real butter
cookies when he visits your house on Christmas Eve. The
Christmas Has Emerged
Through the Centuries
By Dr. Irvine S. Ingram
President Emeritus,
West Georgia College
There are some words that
I like. One of the words is
emerge. It means come out in
to view. Implied in my mean
ing includes growth as a fer
tile egg under proper handling
may become a baby chick and
eventually a full-grown chick
en; this idea can refer to the
potential birth and founding of
a nation; the developing of a
philosophy and the like.
This article is about Christ
mas. The institution of Christ
mas has emerged. The word
Christmas comes from words
meaning Mass of Christ. Christ
mas as we know the event now
was slow in emerging. Since
the custom was to celebrate
the death date rather than the
birthdate nothing was done to
commemorate the birth of
Christ until the fourth century
or four hundred years after the
birth of Christ. At this time
there was speculation as to the
date of Christ. The East chose
the sixth of January. Finally,
the West seemed to have set
tled on December 25th.
So six hundred years after
the birthof Christ most of the
Christian Churches or mainly
the Orthodox Greek and Ro
man Church have observed De
cember 25th. Very slowly over
the centuries theidea of what
we now know as Christmas
slowly emerged. At first the
main emphasis concerned the
adoration of the Christ Child.
Later there was added to this
emphasis thoughts and concern
for all children due to the in
fluence of Saint Nicholas. The
exchanging of gifts, the re
membering of friends, the
commercialization of the occa
sion, and other humanitarian
ideas such as sharing with the
hungry and needy became in
cluded.
But back to Saint Nicholas
He was a popular saint in the
fourth century of the Christian
'Era. According to traditior
| Saint Nicholas was born in
Asia Minor. It is said that this
Christian saint was persecuted,
tortured, and kept in prison
until the more tolerant reiga
of Constantine about 325 A. D.
‘ The history of this tradition-
al saint did not end with his
death and burial. His relics (or
bones) were carefully guarded
but later stolen in the 11th
Century and carried to Italy,
It seems that some diseased
people at his sacred shrine at
Bari, Italy, were healed. Since
then his tomb has been visited
as a sacred place.
‘Saint Nicholas enjoys, per
haps, the greatest popularity
as a Saint. He is thought of as
a special guardian of virgins,
children, and sailors. It would
take a book to tell of the great
influence for good of Saint
Nicholas. In the Middle Ages
and later people memorialized
him with a festival of eating
and joy.
One event which grew out
of this festival ceremony was
the Christmas tree. This hap
pened in Holland and the Low
Countries about two hundred
years ago. Those people had
Saint Nicholas driving a grey
horse or steed bringing gifts to
be placed in stockings, baskets,
and other like recepticles. The
children in turn were to leave
fodder for the horse. He
brought gifts for good children
and switches for bad children.
‘The Dutch saw to it that
Saint Nicholas came to Ameri
ca, and somehow in America
he exchanged the horse for
reindeer.
Our word Santa Claus is 3
corruption of the Dutch San
Nicholas. From America Saint
Nicholas traveled to England.
So Christmas means many
things now: the adoration of
the Christ Child, the importance
of children, the remembering
of friends, a great feasting
time, joy and happiness, and
a sharing with the needy.

Slash Pines
Respond to
Fertilization
Favorable response of slash
pine trees to fertilization wita
| nitrogen and with nitrogen and
| phosphorus has been reported
by research foresters of the
College Experiment Station of
the University of Georgia at
Athens.
Plots of nine-year-old slash
pines were fertilized with 200
pounds of nitrogen per acre,
with 100 pounds of phosphorus
per acre, and with both nitro
gen and phosphorus.
The pines were growing in a
plantation in Lakeland fine
sand soil in the Coastal Plain
region of Georgia. At the time
of fertilization the trees were
about 27 feet tall and appear
ed to be in the initial stages of
stagnation.
Although diameter growth of
the trees was not noticeably
improved the first year, it was
significantly improved for the
first two and the first three
years after fertilizaffon with
nitrogen and with nitrogen ani
phosphorus. Application of
phosphorus alone gave no no
tizeable response.
Diameter-breast - high also
was gignificantly better for the
best 200 trees per acre on the
Initrogen and nitrogen - phos
{ phorus treatments after the
first year.
This study was conducted by
Drs. L. C. Walker and C. T.
| Youngberg.

SELLING TREES

not be trusted to memory, but
should be included in a writ
ten agreement or contract.
Such an agreement will help
protect both the buyer and the
seller from misunderstandings,

in the state will be equaled if
not exceeded.
As the holidays approach Mr,

There are many Seals but only
one Christmas Seal and Christ=

Mr. Bovlstorn further stated
“thanks, thanks, to the thou=
sands of individuals and fame
ilies throughout Georgia that
not only believe but help in this
voluntary giving and voluntary
movement to aid in the elimi
nation of the tuberculosis garm
