“Now when Jesus was born in
Bethlehem of Judea in the days of
Herod the king , . , , Behold wise
men from the East came to Jerusa
lem saying, Where is he that is
born Kinff of the Jews? For we saw
his star in the East and are come
to worship him.”—New Testament.
Check all wiring before you put
extra Christmas lights on your tree
and in your house. Keep your tree
away from open fires or hot appli
ances. Clean leaves of house plants
if they are slick leaves with milk
to use as gifts.
Don’t paint magnolia leaves un
til just before time to use them.
They will curl. A living Christmas
gift is a year round gift that ev
Wbemor thirs^
people are...,
eryone can enjoy. Check your
friends. Select shrubbery, trees
and bulbs. Hondina, boxwood,
spruces, pine, magnplia, firs and
broadleaf evergreens make excel
lent gifts.
An azalea or camellia makes a
gift that you can enjoy when
Christmas is long past. Everyone
else can enjoy them too. In paint
ing materials for Christmas ar
rangements, a quick-finish snow
look is liquid shoe polish. Poster
paints and finger nail polish are
cheaper for small touches of color
than enamel.
To make a tree have a snow ef-
fct, mix the following: one cup of
soap flakes, one-half cup of water.
Beat with an eg beater until thick
as cake frosting. Drop by spoonfuls
upon the tree or branches of ar
rangements.
Make roping from your decora
tions by tieing evergreen on dis
carded nylon hose.
Joy to the World
Joy to the world, the Lord is
come, let earth receive her King;
let every heart prepare Him room
and heav’n and nature sing; and
heav’n and heav’n and nature sing,
Joy to the world, the Savior
reigns, let men thir songs em
ploy; while fields and floods, rocks
hill and plains repeat the sounding
joy, repeat the sounding joy, re
peat, repeat the sounding joy.
He rules the world, with truth
and grace, and makes the nations
prove the glories of His righteou-
ness; and wonders of His love, and
wonders of His love, and wonders,
and wonders of His love.

FOR VARIETY — Use milk in
creamed soups .... on hot and
ready-to-eat cereal .... in bowls
of hot milk toast ... in cocoa or
milk shakes . . . heated and mixed
with equal parts of hot coffee or
tea ... in puddings or custards.
Eat ice cream, in a variety of
flavors, plain or With fruit top
pings—make your own.
Cheese Is good for us. Use it oft
en—melted in toasted sandwiches
or used in cold ones . . . melted in
scalloped potatoes, in rarebits and
souffles, in sauces with hard-cook
ed eggs, seafood or vegetables over
toast. . . . cheese in vegetable or
fruit salads, with fruit for dessert,
with crackers or in small cubes for
snacktime.
Serve scrambled eggs . . . eggs
in omelets, poached, in custard, or
hard-cooked for salads or diced in
cream sauce.
Add a little cottage cheese or
diced cheese to scrambled eggs,
or use cottage cheese “as is” over
hot baked or boiled potatoes, and
with fruit.
MORALE BOOSTERS — 'Treat
yourself to something extra special
every now and then ... a meal
out, a new hat, movie or play. It’s
also a good idea to treat others
your age to calls and visits, and
small children to your “specialty”
in cookie and milk snacks.
EATING ALONE?—^It’s smart to
take extra care to see that food is
appetizing and good, and that it’s
eaten in pleasant surroundings—
perhaps in company with the radio,
television, a favorite record or an
entertaining book.
PLUM PUDDING FOR CHRIST
MAS—For centuries, in many fam
ilies, plum pudding has graced the
Christmas dinner table. The pud
ding may be served from a big
cake plate which has been decorat
ed with holly, fruits, or other deco
rations to suit your taste, or you
may have individual servings with
whipped cream. There is an old
English superstitution which goes
like this: “Whoever eats a plum
pudding on each of the 12 days be
tween Christmas and Epiphany,
making a wish on the first mouth
ful each day, will be blessed by luck
and fulfillment during the next 12
months.” May you have luck!
BUY HALF 'TURKEY—Speak
ing of turkeys (and who isn’t, these
days) remember there’s a practical
way for small families to have holi
day turkey dinners. Half turkeys
and quarter turkeys can now be
purchased and buying one of these
will eliminate leftover problems.
Another advantage of buying just
part of a turkey is that cooking
time is greatly reduced. For exam
ple, half of a 16-pound turkey takes
only 3% hours to cook.
PAPER CUPS FOR SALAD
MOLDS—Use pointed paper cups
as little tree-salad molds. Fill the
cups with cranberry, raspberry or
lime-flavored gelatin, with fruits
or nuts added to your liking, then
set in glasses in refrigerator until
firm. Just before serving, cut cup
along seam with a razor blade and
peel from gelatin. Decorate the
“trees” as you please with soften
ed cream cheese or mayonnaise.
SHERIFF'S HOME ROBBED
Nogales, Ariz.—Sheriff Robert
Connor had a burglarly to report
to the city police. It occurred in
his own home, where thieves car
ried off an electric toaster.

We hate to bring up tragedy in
the midst of this happy holiday
season, but it’s true that through
some iroaic twist of fate there’s
usually more than the average
number of accidents along about
this time of the year.
Highway traffic claimrs the heav
iest toll, hut far too many mishaps
occur right in our own homes. New
Bern parents, especially those with
smaller children, should take ex
tra precautions during the Christ
mas period.
Help Santa Claus to keep safety
in mind when toys are selected.
Yoiur baby’s playthings should
have rounded edges, and make sure
that those cuddly stuffed animals
don’t have hard-button eyes. Ba
bies seem to have a remarkable
knack for pulling these buttons off
and swallowing them. And, what
ever you do, make sure that rat
tles are strong enough not to be
tom apart by tiny hands.
Even in his crib your baby is in
grave danger if there’s a pillow in
it. Most cases of suffocation among
the very young come from such
pillows. And don’t make the mis
take of buying thin plastic mat
tress covers. Figures compiled by
the National Safety Council point
them up as a new killer on the
scene.
For the sake of your toddling-
age children, and for yourself,
don’t leave objects on the floor or
steps that could cause a disastrous
fall. This too is one of the main
causes of tragedy in the home.
Countless adults as well as chil
dren are seriously injured, and ev
en killed, by objects in their path.
Perhaps it seems unnecessary to
remind New Bern parnts that poi
sonous substances and medicines
should be kept out of the reach of
all young children. However, most
of us are guilty at one time or
another of leaving these things
where a child can get to them.
Matches hold a strong fascination
for children, so keep them out of
the reach of your youngster. Warn
him, of course, against striking
matches, but more than that see to
it that they aren’t handy.
We should give as we would re
ceive, cheerfully, quickly, and with
out hestitation; for there is no
grace in a benefit that sticks to the
fingers.—Seneca.
