C I Secret Gilts Lett By St. Nicholas The story of how St. Nicholas be came associated with secret gift giving, and even today comes co vertly at night to leave his pres ents. is one of the most Important in the history of his life. Once upon a time there was a man with three daughters, all of them wishing to marry, but with no dowry forthcoming. Sorry, indeed, was their plight. Their father had about decided to sell them as slaves, but the good St. Nicholas heard of •„ r V*?*:. 's/Kr? ITVBftT v.orVi cjs't' night tin UicH'fcdrne. Seeing ,,uow open, he threw in toe bag orgold ana-Sten-ixatmiff* in the night. This money enabled the eldest daughter to marry. A second and a third time St. Nich olas made the trip and finally all three daughters were married. After the saint’s third trip, the girls' father, who bad been watch ing to see who brought th&- gifts, ran after St. Nicholas and manhed him for his kindness. St. Nicholas made him promise not to divulge his gift-giving and after that he al ways deposited his presents so se emly that no one ever saw him. Yet people knew, somehow, that it was he who brought gifts during the night, and so whenever they found a package mysteriously delivered they instant# exclaimed, "St. Nich olas has brought It I” —y— 000 per <3ay during the Christmas holiday season unless steps are taken to reduce the fire threat, says the Fire Protection Institute. Farmers’ cash receipts from marketings during 1948 will total slightly larger than last year, ac cording to present estimates.

American farmers broke ail fertilizer consumption records again in 1947 for the ninth con secutive year. Painless lumps may be an early sign of cancer. A doctor should be consulted immediately, the American Cancer Society points out. More than one-fourth of all deaths among American women aged 40 to 00 are due to cancer. More than half of all cancel deaths among American men re sult from cancer of the digestive tract. About 100,000 women will die of cancer this year, the American Cancer Society points out. Domestic consumption is ex pected to go even higher this year, despite recent price increases.

Flowers Are Part Of Yule Legends ■ i There are several flowers appro priate during the Yuletide season which are connected with the birth of Chnst by the legends of history. Sainfoin, or "Holy Hay,” is said to have cradled the infant Christ in the manger. The snowdrop is the flower of the Virgin Mary, and is said to be the emblem of the can dles she lighted on Christmas. According to legend, the Christ mas rose was divinely created. A shepherd maid wept at having no gift to lay before the Babe in the manger. Suddenly an angel ap peared to'her. On hearing why the maiden wept, the angel touched the ground where her tears had fallen and immediately the place was white with Christmas roses, which the maid gathered and laid in the manger. The chrysanthemum is said to have appeared first on Christmas Eve near the manger as a sign to the Wise Men that they had reached the spot where the star had bidden them.

Sexton, who was born March 11, 1893, and died August 29, 1948. Sad and sudden was the call of one so dearly loved by all. Your memory is as sweet today as in the hour you passed aw?y. The blow was hard, the shock severe. But only those who have 'lost can tell the pain of parting and farewell. He is gone but not forgotten, Never will his memory fall. Sweetest thoughts lie around the grave, where his lonely body lays. He left behind him a monument of virtue, That the storms of time can never destroy. He wrote his name in kindness, love and mercy on the hearts of those he came in contact with year by year. Wo pray his soul is at rest. God know your load was heavy Though you never complained. So he took you home to heaven. Where there is no grief or pain. Mrs. Charlie C. Sexton and Children. made for.-a New Year’s f:ve dance.
