Holiday Customs In Norway, there is always an almond hidden in the Christmas pudding and the finder, according to tradition, will be married during the next year.In Sweden, the Yule table is laden with buns, cakes and loaves of varying shapes and colors.Roast goose fs the holiday menu headliner for the Danes, who stuft the bird with apples and prunes, and serve it with cabbage and potatoes.B49 40404 ACB AI EANEDN ET ETC EET ER EV 4 BE SAFE IR PP\" ms : \"7408 GG DRI Sea Make Chrismas A v.apdy ii Christmas is a time for feasting and joy throughout the land.And it is a time of sadness and tragedy for hundreds because of carelessness.; Every Christmas lives are lost or ruined by carcless accidents, Some oecur from falls while putting up decerations, or burns while cooking, or fires in the home.But the greatest toll takes place on the nation's highways.Traffic accidents on both Christmas eve and Christmas day are about twice as hizh as tiie annual daily average.Be Carcful Early darkness plus bad weather add up to poor visibility.Fogged windshields also make it difficult to sce and avoid accident situations.Rain, snow and ice mean slippery streets and highways, but thousands of holiday drivers fail to adjust to these hazardous conditions: | Loss of lives in home fires is always greater at Christmastime because of decorations and Christmas trees.Some Tips Here are a few Christmas safety tips: A small tree can be just as pretty as a large one and is less of a hazard.2.stand the tree in water to retard drying and set it up in the coolest part of the room.3.Use fireproof decoration of glass and metal, 4.Don't set up the electric train ncar the tree.F Check lights for defective wiring.6 7 8 = .Discard gift wrapping immediately.Don't leave lights burning on the tree when away from home and inspect it often to sce whether it is dryin out.Discard tiie tree when the needles start to Lall.\u201cPeace on earth, good will to all men\u201d is our heartfelt prayer at this holy Christmas season.WEBBER'S JEWELLERY REGD NELSON HENDERSON, Prop.HUNTINGDON !

You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus but, even if they did not sce Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove?Nobody sces Santa Claus, but that is no sign there is no Santa Claus.The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see.Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn?Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there.Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.You tear apart the baby\u2019s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart.romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond.Is it all real?Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else more real and abiding.No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever.A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.\u201d exist, and you know that they Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, Christmas In Finland For most of us, Christmas din- ver is the time for a sumptuous banquet: plenty of turkey, cranberry sauce and plum pudding.Christmas dinner means a lot of work for mother, but she would not want the meal to be less than jerfect.And In tiny, wintry Finland, it's even harder on the women, By noon of the day before Christmas thé whole house must + be scrubbed and the floors cover- ed with clean straw, on which the children sleep\u2014reminiscent of the First Christmas.And on Christmas Eve, the whole family must take a Finnish bath.After the steaming bath, you're supposed to roll in the snow! And when you eat your Christmas dinner, the stars of heaven shine above you.It's really a frame-work of cord, covered with straw, decorated with paper stars, and lighted from below bythe fire and candlelight.Following the meal, the men match their The Christmas || 4Bazaar Santa \u2014 eo By D.L.Alexander i E stood in the middle of the block with a group of chile dren about him.Passersby would glance at him and the children, and go on their way smiling.He was dressed in the regulation Santa Claus uniform, whiskers and all, and carried a small bell in one hand.Across his front hung a large cardboard with the letters mg: \u201cChristmas Bazaar open at the Methodist Church.\u201d He had stood in the place, bee fore the Union Bank, all morning, walking to the admiring children, asking them what they wanted him to bring them, laughing as be promised their requests.Strangers Two men came down the street, apparently window shopping, One of them lingered in front of a store, but the other proceeded slowly onward.He glanced at Santa Claus and the crowd and without hesitating moved on.Santa looked up shortly afterward to sce both men coming through the crowd toward him.He turned pale under his mask as he recognized them and turned about as if to go across the street, At that moment a car came silents ly up and the door was opened.It was the noon hour when Santa took his station in front of the bank.: \u201cInside, Mister,\u201d one of the men coming through the crowd said.Santa stepped into the car and was whisked away leaving the disappointed children behind.It was the noon hour when Santa again took his station in front of the bank.A group of watchful kids immediately gathered, and Santa began laughing and joking with them._ er Intrucers A half hour went by, and a car pulled to the curb behind Santa.[wo men alighted, cast searching ooks up and down the street, and walked toward the bank door.Santa raised one arm and began ringing his bell.The four men along the street came alive ine stantly and converged on him.Santa turned to face the car be.aind him, Only one man was in it, and the motor was running.Santa pulled a gun and covered him.| \u201cHold it, Buddy.Cross your hands on the steering wheel and keep them there.\u2019 \u2018What's coming off, Bill?\u201d he demanded.\u201cBill isn't here,\u2019 Santa replied.\u2018\u2019He\u2019s at central station cooling off his feet and answering questions.I'm taking his place temporarily.\u201d A minute later the crowd was amazed to sce the six man come out of the bank, two of them handcuffed.They went across the walk to the car and two of the men and the handcuffed men entered.Santa Claus crowded into the front seat, the gun still in his hand.\u201cTo the central police station,\u201d he directed.At the station Captain Hensley, who had just come on duty, sat behind the desk pglowering at the men lined before him.\u201cWho are you?\" he asked Santa Claus.«Just a plain private eye by the name of Richard Layne,\u201d was the answer, \u201cAll right.Take that hideous mask off.\u201d Layne removed it.\u201cYou see, it3 this way, Cap.I was suspicious of the Santa Claus in front of the bank.I went inside and talked to the cashier.He said the man had been out front all day yesterday, too, and he was uneasy.He said what made him suspicious was that the Methodist Church had made no arrangements to hold a Christmas Bazaar this year.Prepared \u201cI then talked to my friend, Detective Hammer, and we made arrangements to guard the bank.\u201d \u201cWhere's the loot?'\u2019 asked Cape tain Hensley.\u201cAt the bank.They promised to keep it intact for the prosecution.\u201d \u2018Very well.That's good work.\u201d He beamed at the men.But what do you get out of this,\u201d he turned to Layne.\u201cThe bank said they would take care of me,\u201d was the answer.strength on the strawcovered floor, while the girls blacken their faces, put on men's clothes, and then, incognito, visit other homes.That evening, with sleigh bells jingling merrily, they all ride to church which, from without, looks like a brightly burning lantern.Inside, there are candles everywhere, in the windows dnd on the altar.1 Cherry Tree Carol |;

In medieval times, holly was used as a remedy to treat a variety of aches and ailments.Some early American Indians even at4 tached twigs of holly to their shields, in the belief that some\u2019 special powers within the holly would make them more formid-, able in battle.Holly, like mistletoe, 1s sur;

Child Slumber Song\u201d 15th : century German.There was caroliing in England around the same time, and many English authorities give the 15th century as the time of the origin of the true carol.The earliest carols in the English language were those in the 15th century mystery plays.In England carols and carolf- ing were extremely popular until the early 17th century when the Puritans abolished Christmas Festivities in folk.In spite of this, carols were preserved in folk songs, the texts being printed on sheets and more or less secretly distributed.Later when Christmas festivities were restored hymns were used instead of carols.When Charles Dickens was a boy authorities at that time believed the carol would be extinct within a few years, but the carol still lived on among the people.The first modern English collee- tion of traditional carols was 3 MARION\u2019S ROMEO PILON and E 36 East Main Si.| | | May we our Wee but one wish for you this Christmas \u2014that it be better Happy HOLIDAYS any you've ever had before.RESTAURANT UDORE R.PREGENT Malone, N.Y.CLOALEC ADE AOL 4D & extend to you very best wish.for à Holiday Season rich in hanpiness and joy.SALLY\u2019S 106 East Main St.7 à 748 6 à D à - May we FROCKS Malone, N.Y.74746404 > FD extend té you our very best wishes for à Holiday Season rich in Bappiness and joy.J.H.PARENT GROCERIES - FRUITS - VEGETABLES Chateaugay New York Christmas In Brazil In Canada, you're sitting by tif you're enough to have one), where the Yule log burns brightly.Outside, | the snow may be drifting gently the fireplace that\u2019s tree 1822.manuscripts.3 CLO LG ED Malone V49464049 itake you | moment: lucky mertime with nm (hé opan air given away to Christmas ! i Is festival once solemn, ENDICOTT East Main and Mill Sts.Malone, N.Y.à 7 4 » BROCKY & VERNS = you will receive a full k lasting good health and HYLAND & CO.HARDWARE, RADIOS, ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES Chateaugay, New York there fireworks everywhere.fiestas are the order of the day.| groundward, where for hours it 'All classes of people congregate | will remain, unviolated;

ropes of molasses taffy.In rare cases there might be a bag of candy.In the isolated cabins it wasn\u2019t so easy to gather with one's neighbours to celebrate.There \u2014|were wolves in the timber and being caught in a sudden storm \u2018on the ploneer trails spelled - death.Christmas in some places meant a bobsled ride or perhaps a square dance, often, followed by a turkey dinner costing twenty-five cents.Gifts, if any, geherally were in the form of homemade boots.For the women there might be a piece of intricate handiwork to which some enterprising friend had devoted her spare time for months.Throughout the holiday season a candle burned in the attic window, guiding late-faring travellers to shelter \u2014 the Star of Bethlehem on the frontier.But with ali, these hardy folks had as much fun as their great- arandsors and daughters, who again this year will celebrate by exchanging elaborate gifts, dancing to name-bands, feasting with That prized holly tree you have been nursing for years can probably stand heavier cuttings for holiday gifts than most home owners realize, horticulturists report.Tests show that English holly especially can be cut rather severely over a period of years without reducing total yield or damaging the tree.Appearance of the tree, rather than possible damage, can pretty well dictate the extent of pruning In addition to cutting holly for gifts, the home owner may often | be approached by profzssional holly cutters wishing to buy holly.Properly done, this pruning can serve to improve the shape and maintain the size of the tree.Owners should be cautioned, however, to be sure the cutters are professionals.year.toward this goal.| may be nothing in the refrigerator.You don\u2019t have to spend all your money to have a beautifully-decos rated home at Christmas.Use ingenuity.Make most of your own decorations.In adition to the savings, you'll find that it\u2019s fun\u2014and highly satisfying.For example, stir up your own trec ornaments in a mixing bowl, Combine plastic starch and laundry detergent to make a stiff mixture.Then make frosty icicles by dipping bobby pins into the mixture.A loop of string tied through the closed end of the bobby pin serves as a handle for the dipping and as a hangar to put it on the tree.Burned out flash or light bulbs make lovely tree balls if painted in gay colors, Stick on colorful seals, sequins, or ribbons for a finishing touch.Popcorn strings, an old favorite, are colorful Christmas-tree ropes if you pop the corn two or three days before stringing, and dip it in a thin sugar syrup colored with vegetable coloring, Save lids from paper ice cream cups, then trim by pasting on colored designs cut from old Christmas greeting cards.To hang, slip a paper clip or wire through a hole punched in the tab of the lid.Wrapping Hints Do you have trouble gift-wrap- ping such items us vases and bottles?If so, aluminum foil will solve your problem.The foil molds easily to the shape and makes a very attractive package when set off with a pretty bow.Don't Overdo It Be careful not to overdo your outdoor decorations.Your house and yard might end up looking like an amusement park.Even the most expensive decorations will have this effect if not used in good taste.Harmony and sim- licity are the key words in planning an attractive outdoor display.MAKE CANDLE FIT Often a candle is too large for the opening in the candlestick.To remedy this, dip the base of the candle in very hot water, then press it gently into the hnldar.ÉLUS TLTATOTETLE CHRISTMAS is the most wonderful time of the a time of giving and receiving .a time of joy and good cheer .a time when the spirit of goodwill fills men\u2019s souls.The Bible says: \u201cGod so loved the world that He gave His only Son.\u201d As we prepare to celebrate another Christmas, how many of us remember these words\u2014or are our thoughts too completely occupied with a present for Uncle John and Aunt Susie, with the preparation of lavish and expensive decorations; with the table settings for a sumptuous feast?God did so leve the world .that He gave us His Son .that He gave us this day that we call CHRISTMAS.This He gave us; nothing more.He did not supply the traditions; He spoke not of holly and mistletoe, nor of food and feasting.The many things that have come to be associated with the observance of Christmas\u2014by all too many pcople -have been added through the centuries, The sad part of it all is that some have become so fascinated by all the embellishments that they have lost sight of the true meaning of Christmas: Christ's birthday.The day on which Christ was born, The day of the Redcerner.À Holy Day.À Spirituul Day.Let us keep our bright Christmas trees, the colored lights, and deck the halls with boughs of holly.Let us set a table that would please the palate of a king, But, with it all, let us find the time to search hopefully for the joy ond peace that was Christ's purpose when He was born and when for thirty years and three He walked the face of earth, the highe.! example of life as a mortal being, the sky.At no other time during the year do any of us derive the pleasure, satisfaction and contentment we receive from the joys of Christmas.The pleasant associations of friends and loved ones, the spirit of good feeling and love for our fellowman are in evidence everv- where and from these associations comes a stronger confidence in those around us.Christmas is important! It is the season of sincere good will, the spirit which should go with us three hundred and sixty-four other days of the year.Let us cach pledge ourselves Merrill E.Barrington M.P.for the Constituency of be HOLIDAY DRESS .This may or may not be the homeland of Santa Claus.But if Is a scene that is typical of the Christmas season.Trees bend down their branches under weirht of winter\u2019s snow and in the distance a white-capped mountain rises into todd ate taint, sa mma at an aden | 100 LME AL pi &FTR LYLNTEU SC ESE - - a.x «2 & CHATEAUGUAY - HUNTINGDON - LAPRAIRIE RER RE Boch PS 970508 | ns ln ur od Jaen The 4 lave the ve i of The orn, à oly ; rist.and ; of ould But, © to and pose for Iked ; CX ing, = > / 2 Eco re À A ee eee \u2014 iB Wednesday, Dec.21st, 1960 The Gleaner - 15 * Christmas Recipe Take equal amounts of joy and peace; mix well until thoroughly blended.Spread evenly across the whole world.Add equal amounts of faith and hope.No other ingredients are needed, except, perhaps, a prayer to insure there will be a generous share for all, ICY WALK?* Sand, instead of salt, is recommended for icy walks and drive.| ways because salt washed off | into surrounding soil can cause! damage to trees, shrubs and | flowers.Sand tracked Into the | house may be a nuisance, but it will not stain floors and rugs | as salt will.Chatelaine Institute SAND OR SALT THAT | May your holiday season be bright with happiness, rich in love and friendship.SS THE CANADIAN BANK | OF COMMERCE bg COMMUNITY TREE The custom of community Christmas trees, which will be observed this year by thousands of towns and cities, started in 1909 in Pasadena, California, when citizens erected a tree on Mount Wilson.The first National Christmas Tree was set up on the Capitol steps in 1923 and came from Vermont.!

ST.FRANCIS ROD and GUN CLUB PORT LEWIS YEB EN EO 494647 4 \"Santa Claus who fills them, but the Magi.According to a well-loved Spanish folk tale, the Wise Men go each year to Bethlehem to pay homage to the infant Christ.As they pass through Spain, they find the children's shoes placed on the window ledges or bal romies, filled with straw for the Wise Men's horses.In the morn- inv, the straw is gone, and, in its place, gifts of sweetmeats an playthings for all good children.In Madrid.men and boys bearing torches, bells end tin cans, go out to the gates to meet the Magi.One of the group carries a ladder, upon which he climbs from time to time, to see if the Wise Men are approaching.And, in the last rays of the setting sun, it seems to childish eyes as though the splendor of the Magi, with their blazing torches and gem set rrowns, was reallv there before them.Whether it be Wise Men or i Santa Claus, the Christmas world of children is wonderful.It is, | 2s Christmas should be \u2014 a !

the employees and inevitably results in very poor employee and public relations.\u201d On the other side, detailed surveys have shown that \u2018\u2018business giving is generally on the upswing; that the practice is definitely worthwhile, but it dues depend on how it is done.\u201d \u201cThe giving of well-chosen remembrances can be a highly rewarding practice,\u201d the survey concludes.\u2018'\u2018Goodwill generates easily and it generates best when the remembrance is presented in a truly thoughtful manner as an honest token of appreciation,\u201d M ay all the joys of the Yuletide season be yours in great abundance!
