CHAPEL HILL. ? Probably the
largest single production ever
presented by any Planetarium in
the world, "Star of Bethlehem",
is being enthusiastically praised
toy a record number of visitors at
the Morehead Planetarium at the
University of North Carolina.
Almost 10,000' persons have
seen the enlarged and improved
tribute to Christmas since it o
pened and more than 3,000 reser.
vations have already ibeen made
for performances between now
and the closing date January 3.
A. P. Jenzano, Planetarium di
rector, has talked personally
with scores of visitors who have
sefcn "Star, of Bethlehem"- in
prior years. He says they are "u
nanimous in their statements |
that this year's pageant is the
best we have yet offered."
The finest effects available to
portray the wonderful story of
Christmas have been combined
into a spectacle of lights, music,
tableaux and the Scriptures by
the cooperative efforts of minis
ters, artists, technicians and UNC
and Duke professors.
The first portion of the pa
geant is devoted to the appear
ance of the heavens almost 20
centuries ago and deals partic

we see reproduced on the Plane

to the Wise Men from the East
would have seemed to 'be a ver>
potent sign of some great event
Astronomers believe," according
to Jenzano that they have dis
covered what the Star of Bethle
hem was, if the Star was some
thing in the sky for everyone tc
see. If. however, it was a miraclc
given only to the eyes of tht
Wise Men, then science is pow
erless to discuss it.
The latter portion of the spec

ty, originality and inspiratioj
With the story, of the birth ' o

Five three dimensional seti
of the "Nativity," "The Annun

Wise Men," "Appearnce of tht
Angels to the Shepherds,' "Hills
of Judea" and the cathedral fi

There are no reserved seats
and visitors are urged to arrive
from 15 to 30 minutes to the per
formances. Except during the
| first 15 minutes of the show, vis
itors are not permitted to enter
| the chamber because their
movements would disturb the
solemnity and dignity of -the
story.
Except on Christmas Eve and
Christmas Day when the Plane

Based upon October 1 reports
from growers, commercial apple
production in North Carolina is
expected to total 2,100,000 bushels
this year. If realized this will be
the heaviest crop harvested since
comparable records began in
1934.

A Feature on Gardening by the

? den Clubs
! Christmas is almost here again?
[lit is time now to do your paint
[ing with silver and gold. Collect
all the seed pods, berries, pine
. |conts, and foilage that you want
><for decorating. Go to the dime
? store and buy a can of aluminum
> paint if you want to make some
. berries silver. (Luzustrum berries
are excellent for this). Secufre a
large bucket of water. Pour the
can of aluminum paint on the
, water. Then take your berries
f and dip them into the water. As
they come out they will receive
jan excellent coating and be a
beautiful s'lver. Stand in jars or
* some upright container to dry.
Gold paint can be used the same
? way that aluminum is used,
' j You may also use the paint
' ; brush to paint leaves, pine cones
>and other materials. Any inex
pensive paint is satisfactory. You
j may want some white decora
, tions. Try sprinkling a little of
i the glitter that you can buy at
paint shops on the painted ma
i terlals before the paint, dries
thoroughly. It will add an extra
glamour tp your decorations.
Frosting fruits is a real trteat
r for the Christmas decorator.
There are three ways that you
may do fruit-frosting. You may
choose the one that appeals to
you.
1.) Lightly beat an egg white.
Dip fruits < grapes frost especial
ly well in this manner). Drain off
excess egg white and dip fruit
into powdered sugar. v
2.) Make a syrup of sugar and
water. Dip fruits ? allow to cool.
Repeat process until sufficiently
frosted. Fruits may be dipped and
sprinkled with granulated or
powdered sugar.
3.) Paint may be used to frost
fruits. Allow white paint to run
over the fruits. Do not cover the
entire fruit. It is more attractive
if the paint appears to have been,
casually applied.
Have you fever used your same
Christmas tree for several years?
Take a small cedar and put it,
root and all In a pot. It may be
placed on a table and .decorated.
After Christmas, the tree can be
replantted in the yard. After
several years, the same tree can
take its place on the floor.
To lessen needlb shedding of
your Christmas tree, start with
a freshly cut one. Saw off a small
portion of the tree trunk and
place in a stand that will, hold
water. Refill as the tree drinks
the water. Thfere are also some
commercial materials that may
be applied to the tree to prevent
shedding.
Merry Chnstmas!
Congratulations to the commit
tee on civic beautification for
having ordered 125 Blarie climb
ers to be planted, and to serve as
replacements for Paul Scarlet
climbers. Most of these roses will
be planted at Mountain Rest cem
fetery.

Chickens Subject
To Eye Diseases
Aside from colds and roup,
chickens may have definite eye
troubles, according to R. S. Dear
styne, head of poultry science at
State College which impair their
usefulness and often render them
ineconomical.
These troubles Include total or
partial blindness or the disease
known as ocular leucosis. All of
the factors causing blindness in
.?hickens are not known. Ocular
leucosis is one of the five types
of this disease, which is probably
caused by a virus.
A tabulation of blindness and
leucosis taken from the autopsy
sheets of the poultry diagnostic
laboratory at State College shows
that in birds through 10 weeks of
age therle were 16 instances a
mong 11,028 birds which had
these troubles. In range stock
birds, 134 6t 3,441 birds sent in
had blindness or leucosis, and In
8,948 adults there were 580 birds
showing either of these troubles.
This does not indicate the ex
tent of eye troubles In the entire
poultry population of the state
but merely that of birds sent In
for laboratory examination, Dear
styne says.
"It seems advisable that poul
trymlen in routine examination of |
birds should carefully examine
the eyes. Should any bird show
definite indication of any eye ab
normality it should be promptly
culled as apparently there Is little
chance of recovery," according to
Bearstyne.
Safe-Hunting
: Rules Listed
! By County Agent
The hunting season is often :il
most as dangerous to the hunter
as it is to the hunted. County
1 Agent Howard Clapp cautions
jthat with more hunters in the
field than ever before, common
sense should be the by word in
handling guns and that considera
tion of the rights and safety of
others should always be observed.
Mr. Clapp points also to this
Important reminder ? the true
'hunter displays both sportsman
ship and safety. He knows how
i to use the right gun for the right
Igame. He hunts only in season
and does not takte the,limit unless
he can use the meat or trophies.
I For bird hunting, the hunter
takes a. trained dog to retrieve
[Cripples. He puts out campfires
iand cigarettes carefully, breaks
, matches before dropping them,
and in other ways shows that ho
is "using his head."
The County Agent calls atten
tion to these "10 commandments"
of the true sportsman:
1? Treat every gun as if it were
loaded.
2 ? Carry only empty guns, tak
en down or with the action open,
i into your auto, camp, and home.
3-- -Be sure that 'the barrel and
action' are clear of obstructions.
4 Always carry your gun so
that you can control the direction
'of the muzzle, even if you stum
Die.
5 - Be sure of your target be
fore pulling the trigger.
6 Never point a gun at any
thing you do not want to shoot.
7? Never leave the gun unat
tended unless unloading it first.
| 8? Don't climb a tree or a ffence
with a loaded gun.
9 Don't shoot at a flat hard
j surface or the surface .of water.
10 -Do not mix gunpowder and
? alcohol. . . '--J
