This the 7th day of December, 1949. S. D. MARTIN, Clerk Superior Court, McDowell County, N. C. y e %u, IJorl Claims Santa diau.5 to d3t *3ts jf^rivate j-^ropsrtrj While the claim m?y cause t' rest of America to bristle. No Yorkers incist that Santa C.aus : peculiarly New York's own. Iv only did he land in Manhattan wi' the Dutch settlers, they point out. but for almost two hundred year he never took" his activitie's or pre ents out of New York state. The New Yorkers advance sorr.~ interesting points to bolster their contentions. They declare that in the genial company of Washington Irving, James Kirke Paulding and Clement Clarke Moore, Santa Claus gradually lost the grim, stern as spect he wore when he arrived with the Dutch settlers to the bulging, benevolent mien he now offers. It was in New York, too, they assert, that Santa acquired his reindeer sleigh and his habit of arriving on Christmas instead of on the Dutch St. Nicholas eve (December 5). And thus, in his New York panoply, he fin ally found his way to all parts of the United States, England and even Australia and India. Indeed, as the New Yorkers will tell you, New York, as New Ams terdam in the beginning, was dedi cated to Santa Claus, or St. Nich olas, by its Dutch founders. For Santa Claus—or Sinterklaas, as it is sometimes written in Holland— is of course only the centuries-old pet name which Dutch children gave to their patron and gift bring er, the good Bishop St. Nicholas. And it is said that the ship which brought the first Dutch children to Manhattan island bore his face as figurehead. From the first, too, his special day of December 6, was set aside with Christmas, New Year's, Easter and Whitsuntide, as one of the five chief holidays of the new colony, just at it had been in Hol land. So, year after year, as regularly as St. Nicholas eve came around in New Amsterdam, in Breuckelen (Brooklyn), in Fort Orange (Al bany) and many other hamlets above the icy Hudson, the children in every good Dutch family gath ered in expectant circle. For weeks beforehand they had learned their lessons and helped with the milking and churning in an agony of good ;behavior. And now, all ready, they isang their song to Santa Claus. In the midst of the song would come a knocking at the door and in would stride Santa Claus, himself—not round and jolly, bat solemn and majestic in trailing robes. In one hand he might have a basket of presents or a purse, but in the other was sure to be a birch rod—an awful warning to a naughty boy. Santa questioned each child in turn about his behavior in the year just past and gave him a pat of approval or a warning shake of the head, as the record indicated. Then, bidding them all look for presents in the morning, the good saint sud denly flung a handful of lollipops into the room and, in the ensuing scramble, vanished into the night. Then the children set out their sabots, or later the great blue yarn stockings made for the purpose. However he did it—and the tale varies in many lands—Santa Claus got about, for in the morning over the hearth steaming with waffles and sausages and other good Dutch fare, were the blue stockings bulg ing with apples, balls, dolls and tops. j The Stable of Bethlehem did not in any way resemble the airy por ticos — complete with plaster of paris animals and adoring shep herds — so dear to the heart of modern Christendom. With comfort increasing through out the western world, the poverty of the Nativity scene simultaneous ly startles and fascinates us — as perhaps Matthew, the publican, was impressed by the story of the Wise Men; and St. Luke, who had been a ship's doctor and probably knew very little about shepherds, was charmed by the shepherds abiding in the field. There was no room in the inn that night, so Jesus was born in a stable, a place of shelter hewn into a rocky ledge of the Judean countryside. It was cold and dark and danftp, and Judean travelers— frequently 'put up' in such caves welcomed rather than disdained joint tenancy with beasts because the breath of the cattle and the heat of their bodies provided a little warmth, while the guests in side the inn had no heat at all. The cave, which was the birth place of the Saviour, is now a grotto beneath Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity; and though fasci nated by the simplicity of the origi nal Nativity scene, Christianity has been unwilling to maintain its pov erty and has covered the entire surface with costly ornamentation. N. C. GOLD AND GEMS North Carolina has frequently been referred to as one of the rich est states in the nation. Long be fore the great California gold rush got underway in 1849 many mil lions of dollars in gold and silver had been mined up in the piedmont section of the old north state. Dia monds and many semi-precious stones have been picked up along the streams in the hills and moun tains of western North Carolina. But it remained for W. B. Turner, a Cleveland county farmer, to make one of the most valuable discover ies of all. He turned up a dozen highly-valuable emeralds while plowing a cotton field near Shelby in 1912. From then on the search for em eralds in western North Carolina went on at such a pace that North Carolina was soon leading the na tion in the production of these fine j dark-green gems. One emerald-rich locality at Stony Point, in Alexand er county, yielded emerald crystals valued at $10,500 hi a little less than three years. Like those found on the Turner farm, outside Shel- j by, they were all fine stones, the j largest if which measured about an' inch and three-quarters and could be cut into 20 three-carat gems, j —The State. I ON CHRISTMAS While the litter from Christmas packages is still about, be particul arly careful of smoking. Hot ashes dropped on tissue paper or a care lessly-tossed match could result in tragedy. * * * December 25 was decreed as the date of Christ's nativity by the Roman emperor Julian who began his reign as a Christian, but revert ed to paganism before his death. Yellow tomatoes have had con-i siderable popularity in farm and j town home gardens and in recent years have been grown commercial ly to some extent as source of juice for canning. i MILK PRODUCTION Total milk production in 1948 was at about 90 per cent of pre war output. More than half a million rural families will celebrate their firat electric Christmas this year as a re sult of the rural electrification pro gram. 1 , easonf y ~J 1949 The candles are tarn f sing low tor 1949, bo) i "ibe brighl and deerta) dawn ol a New Year is fonrs lor tbe lakiog.
