be Yours (PP<?JU <N **9 ;?P C Holiday plants require special care if they are to loolr their best Just like human beings, they need bright light or sunlight, in the day and a proper amount of water. Wilting, leaf yellowing and burn ing, leaf drop and premature loss of flowers can be caused by under' watering or over-watering ptants. Thorough watering la Important as soon as plants are dry, but avoid leaving plants standing in water. Puncture the tinfoil or heavy paper on pots at the drainage bole to pro vide necessary drainage. Here are some further sugges tions: "? Lower the night temperature to prolong the life of blooms. Mini rai'i night temperature for poin settles and Christmas begonias should be 60 degrees. The desir able night temperatures for aza leas, Christmas cactus, chrysan themums, cyclamen, Jerusalem cherry, Kalanchoe, ornamental peppers, potted bulbs and cut flowers are between 90 degrees and 00 degrees. High room tempera tures hasten the maturity of flowers and shorten their life. Avoid sudden temperature changes and drafts. Keep both plants and cut flowers away from radiators and heat registers nnd out of drafts. Polnsetttas are espe cially sensitive to sudden temper ature changes.' They should never be left near a window sill as drafts will cause leaves to turn yellow and drop. mora be Four Youths Get Suspended Terms On Assault Count rtT?u.r King* Mountain youths re aaveu suspended sentences to Reoorder'? court Monday af SESV&i #m<Sded Warrants jP**" Kings Mountain Doiiro SS^-V &<a> ?"Th?S MU> "Mult, With . de.dly chsnres of assault * **<Hy weapon with in berv arafa!!* 5nd, attempted rob 17^ ?8*?t Junior Putnam.

All through the year no one ever bothered about us, but now, at Christmas time, we knew that once again we would be the center of attraction. Gram bllng apd granting, Mr. Barkei lifted our box into his arms and started down the attic stairs. Being a rather plump fellow with a stomach that protruded to far he couldn't see his feet, he was, I regret to sajr, somewhat clumsy. About half way down the stairs he stumbled and our box went tumbling down the stairs. 1 was uninjured, but I'm afraid some of my friends suffered from the fall. A few minutes later we were all unpacked and laid on the huge dining room table. "Well now, let's see, John." said Mrs. Barkfer. "We can use this string of lights, and this string and, oh! We don't want to use this old string again, John! They've been around here for years. Throw them out In the trash with these other things that 'were broken when you felL" I was shocked! For years I had been used to decorate the Barker's Christmas tree, and now, simply because I was getting a little old. they were throwing me out! It is true that my popularity with the Barkers had declined through the years. When I was new I was used at the top, but each year A boat halfway down the stairs he stumbled and our box went tombllng down the stairs. I seemed to And myself placed lower and lower on the tree. Unwanted Home My friends, most of them broken In tiny pieces, and myself were* cast upon the trash pile In the alley. I felt sorry for them. They : had many years of use ahead of them had Mr. Barker been more careful, but now they could never be lifted again. But what of me? I wasn't broken; only a little old. For two days I lay on the trash pile with my broken friends, and then, on the third day, a small child, who seemed to be searching the trash cans in the alley to see if he could find something of value, came upon me. With a cry of de light he gathered me into his tiny hands and scampered out of the alley and to the edge of the small town, where he lived In a broken down littta old house. How glad were his brothers and sisters when they saw me! That evening they trimmed their tiny tree, It was scarcely three feet tall, and I was the principle item of decoration. One of my lights was placed at the top of the tree and the rest were wound in and about from top to bottom. Then the tree was placed in the front window and for the first time In my lite I. was given the task of lighting an entire tree. , That evening It snowed ,?nd snowed and the wind whistled harshly about the corners of the hduse. I was glad that I was in a warm house Instead of being on the trash pile in the alley. A Visitor Comes Suddenly there w? a loud rap : on the door. When Mr. Cullen opened it I hoard a man's voice ask, "Rave you se*r u*> Granger boy? Ho was out playing this afternoon and hasn't coma home yet. We think he's become lost Id the storm. The whole town is out looking for him. Would ytm IBM to help, Mr. Cullen?" I Mf. Cullen quickly put on his eoat and scarf VM followed the man into the dark cold night They had been gone only about twenty minutes when again there was a knocking at the door. When Mrs. | Cullen oQened tt, in stepped ? tall man, carrying a boy in Ms arms. The boy's ears and nose were blue from the cold, and his tooth chat 4k _ ? _ J j t?T?a. r. ;?

Make plans for a "pinata" and we promise it will be the high spot of the gathering. Widely used in Mexico through* out the yea{, the pinata is busiest at Christmas time, during the Mex ican Christmas Festival which lasts 21 days. It is constructed of thin, fragile clay. Oiled with sweet meats and trinkets, then suspend ed from the ceiling as a form oC decoration. Sometime during the gathering, each of the guests is blindfolded and given a stick which U bran dished in the air until the pinata is shattered and the delicious con tents pour forth. It's a wonderful way to enter tain the kiddies, but the game may be ? and often is ? enjoyed by older folks.
