Ask a child and he may tell you that it is a time of snow and bright lights, and Santa Claus and presents under the' tree! Ask a hundred grown-ups and you may get a hundred slightly related answers, lor Christmas Is many things to many people. But, for all of us, the happiest memories of childhood are those associated with the celebration of this great holiday. How easy it is to vividly call upon scenes of long ago when a happy fam- j ily gathered by the warm glow of .an open fireside ; to close the eyes to see again the snow covered fields and to hear again the crunching sound of heavy boots plodding through the snow and visualize the little white church on the hill. In the silence of a darkened room one can so easily revisit the little church, breathe again the aroma of evergreens and burn ing candles and sense anew the presence that is so obvious in the quiet and solemn stillness.

The 1957 pro duction of corn, oats, barley and milo is estimated at 135 million tons, about 4 per cent larger than the abundant supply of last year. The degree of price change is de pendent upon government action, livestock number, and 1958 crop prospects. > Q. Just what will be decided in the December 10 cotton referen dum? A. The price at which the 1958 cotton crop \frill be supported hangs in the balance.

Pilgrams Forbade Christmas Events 1 A Christmas tree will be put ti up in two out of every three d American homes this year. Yet i> the trimmed tree, as we know and use it today, is only about 150 years old in this country. The Pilgrims forbade Christ mas celebrations on the grounds they were pagan. A Massachu setts law in 1689 subjected, any one to a fine who observed the day be feasting, refraining from work or in any other manner.
