More fo Mistletoe
Than You'd Think
In America the high - hanging
mistletoe is treasured chiefly for
its power to invite a kiss from a
pretty girl The bulk of the holiday
decoration comes from the Caro¬
lina* Tennessee and the southwest
where off-season agricultural work¬
ers gather the branches for ship¬
ment throughout the nation. ?
The white • berried plant also
serves as a winter food supply for
mockingbirds, robins, and wax-
wings These small birds are re¬
sponsible for the spread of the
tree-damaging parasite. After eat¬
ing the berries the birds clean
their beaks on the trees, firmly
planting the mistletoe seeds they
,1c not eat. The tap root of the
needling pierces the tenderest por¬
tions of the tree—young branches
nr buds and the tree sap is drawn
into the thick leaves and translu¬
cent berries of the guest plant
Though the mistletoe plays the
dual characters of destructive kill-
et and promoter of love, supersti¬
tion has it that the plant can
•witch roles in a twinkle For in¬
stance if the yuletide mistletoe
bough Isn't removed from a house
by Candlemass Eve (February I),
each leaf left will produce a goblin
to plague the careless occupants
during the year
May the deeper meaning of the
•If Christmas ed by the memories Season be it strengthen¬ will recall.
May it bring to you a genuine
happiness that will add to the
^" pleasure of this glorious time of
the year.
While you are enjoying the
pleasant moments the occasion
affords, we trust you will pause a
moment to accept our kindest
wishes and sincere greeting of
the Season.

festival of children, yet grown
ups all over the world join in
the Christmas spirit of hap- j
piness and good will.
Each country has its Santa!
Clause but he has different!
names in different countries. In!
Holland and France, where chil- j [
dren set their wooden shoes on
the hear:h to be filled, he is
called St. Nicholas and Father
Christmas, respectively. Scan¬
dinavian children await the
coming of Kriss Kringle. In

In spite of the fact that we
all look forward to Christmas
as a time of exchanging gifts
we must remember that Decem¬

A very Merry Christmas to all
