Yule Tree Business Figured in Millions CHRISTMAS TREES are a multi m ill ion dollar business. Throughout the nation, some 15 million trees are supplied to the holiday demand. Prices range ! from $1 to $5, and that adds up to real money. A Christmas tree, in the lake states, is usually a balsam or a spruce. The same is true-in New England and the Appalachian sec tion. Elsewhere in the country, vir tually all kinds of evergreens are used. The lodgepole pine and Douglas fir are frequently used in Colorado. On the Pacific coast, it is prin cipally Douglas fir. In Maryland, Virginia and Wash ington, D. C., a scrub pine takes a trimming. ■ In other localities, white pine, southern pine, hemlock, red and white cedar and redwood are used. The business of harvesting this annual crop begins in the fall, when cutters go into the woods after trees. It continues as truck ers bring huge loads to metropoli- ] tan markets. Many land owners manage their swamps to make them yield a crop of trees year after year. Thinning operations are another source of Yule trees. Farmers have discovered that they ean get a cash crop from j eroded acres by harvesting Christ ' mas trees 10 or 15 years after they j are planted. Peerless Theatre Erwin, N. C. 1 F.

Diagonally across the street from the X-ray trailer, the dispUy encouraged many persons to cross the street and take the test. (Daily Record photo by Louis Dearborn). A DIFFERENT playtime ob ■<- V sei'vance for your Christmas festivities is the game "Lord of Misrule." When your guests have ail ar rived and have been greeted by the music of the minstrels and the song of the carolers, it is time for the most honored guest of the eve ning to arrive. With much fan fare the "Lord of Misrule" is an nounced. He enters with great pomp and ceremony and takes his place as the master cf ceremonies for the evening. Tlie Lofd of Misrule comCs to us from the Tudor courts where he was elected' annually to reign over the Christmas festivities. His word, during the festivities, was law, and the ridiculous commands he laid upon the guests had to be obeyed. At your party, the .Lord, of Mis rule will command each guest to do his biddirtg. He may call for singing, dancing, panomime, imi tations and stunt? of all kinds. Failure to do the bidding of the Lord of Misrule results in. the pay ment of a forfeit. And here an other unusual note may be inject ed. The forfeit, instead of being paid to the Lord of Misrule may be paid to another Christmas character, the "hodening horse." It was the custom in Kent, Eng land, for young men to go from house to house with the hodauing horse, an imitation of a horse's head attached to a long stick. Two lads, forming the body of the horse, were hidden from view by a cover ing of cloth resembling horse's skin. The hodening horse was ac companied by paraders who rang the bells throughout the town and begged for money or food. - jijQhb % mHNIk^P ALLERGIC TO WHISKERS . Not all little, boys who love Santa Claus this time of year * have a sublime trust in the old gent. This young man obviously wishes he were somewhere else. Walter Johnson Now In Germany WITH THE 28th INFANTRY DIV. IN GERMANY Sgt. Walter. Johnson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Johnson, Benson, N. C., recently arnved in Germany and is serving with the 28th Infantry Division. TO "SHOW ME" TRACTOR BUYERS... 1 you'll tee WHY FERGUSON’S the BUY! , Teliohon* NOW for Datt, N GENERAL UTILITY CO. PRONE “3204 dpnn, n. a ; THE DAILY RECORD, DUNN, N. C. To fireproof your Christmas tree, which is still a “hazard even with electric lights, select ynur tree four to six days before you intend to decorate it. Then weigh the tree and buy one-fourth as many pounds of ammonium sul fate as the tree weighs. This chem ical is available in most stores that sell seeds and fertilizers For each pound of ammonium sulphate use l'A pints-of-water to make the solution. - Mix the solution in something tail I i and narrow that will hold the tree upright. Then saw off the tree ' diagonally so as to give a largo cut surface. Set the tree in the j solution m a cool place, away from the direct sunlight, and leave it there until most of the solution is absorbed. y[ou Can yita/ce a <Big. Christmas Candle You can make a big, long-burn ing candle to fit into your Christ mas ' decorations if you have a mibiber of odds and ends of part ly burned candles around the house. Melt them and pour into cardboard* containers and remold. Use ice cream cartons, oatmeal containers; or others. Use plain cord for a wick. When the wax is beginning to set, tie the wick to a pencil and suspend it in the wax. Let set hard, remove car ton and there is a nice cannie for your table. 1 B. C. and 1 A. D. Were Not a Year Apart According to our calendar, one would naturally assume that be tween the year 1 B. C. and the year 1 A. D. there should be a year called zero. As • a matter of fact, no such year exists, as far as historians are concerned, and the year 1 A. D. follows directly after the year 1 B. C. A person born in 3 B. C. would not be five years old at 2 A. D. i but would be four years old when ; one is calculating data in that ! period. When adding B. C. and j A. D. years, it is necessary to al ways subtract one to compensate : for the year zero omitted between I 1 B. C. and 1 A. D. Why Christmas Candles? i On Christmas Eve the Chrirt Child wanders all over the earth l seeking deserving people—people [ who are kind and thoughtful of others, and people who have loving hearts. Lighted candles are placed in the windows by such people so that He may not stumble and fall. In the course of His search He visits every castle and hut, no mat ter how rocky and rough His path may be. ' Now in Bavaria, the division is receiving intensive field training under simulated combat conditions. It is part of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Army that is guarding western Europe. Sergeant Johnson entered the Army in September 1947.
