Christmas j Trees Called Symbol Of Living Spirit WASHINGTON?Christmas trees probably add more to mark the period of "peace on earth good will I toward men" than any otttcr pio I duet of the soil. A. M Sowder, extension forester of the U. S. Department of Agri culture. calls it "a symbol of living Christmas spirit." Sowder. who grows Christmas trees as a hobby and is an authority on the subject, reports that more than 25 million i hits vivru, narvesiea in i?3S in '.his country alone. In his interesting pamphlet. "Christmas Trees?The Tradition and the Trade" 'Government Print ing Oilice. Washington 25, D. C.. '.5 cents*, he reports that the first record of trimmed Christmas trees in the United States appears in the period of the American Revolution when Hessian soldiers made use of them. * | "However." Sowdcr points out. the practice did not gain much . headway in this country until about ! the middle of the 19th century when, after a tear of controversy and doubt, it became an establish" | o.l custom in Cleveland." Some historians trace the lighted i Christmas tree back to Martin Luther <1483-15461. i ni sior.v is inai W illie stroll ing throughout the countryside one ' Christmas Eve under a brilliant -C11 lit sky. his thoughts turned to the nativity of the Christ Child." Sowder relates. "Luther was im pressed with the beauty of the heavens and the wintry landscape. He observed the snow-flecked ever gi cen trees sparkling in the moon light "Returning to his home he related the experience to his family and attempted to reproduce the : outdoor scene. To a small ever : green tree he attached lighted candles to simulate the reflections of the starlit heaven?the heaven that looked down over Bethlehem on the first ^hristmas Eve. This would date the first lighted Christmas tree prior to 1546. but Sawder says the custom did not aciually catch on until 1700. when lights became an accepted part of j the decorations. The actual idea !?of decorating trees other than with i lights, however, may have been an 1 outgrowth of a practice adopted by i early dwellers of the forest.
