Tin1 Christmas season always
brings back the sweetest memo
ries of youth to those who enjoyed
the fantasy and sparkle of the
Sant! Claus story In addition, it
brings a more significant obser
vant* , a respect for the Christian
principles of life, which are too
often forgotten in the rush of
muiiein uving.
The real Christmas spirit is one
of unselfishness and giving Thus.
Die people who enjoy the scene

tying t stockings, more than the
children, are tin mothers and
lathers who watch this exciting
moment once a year
As Christmas Day. 1953 ap
proaches. the lime seems highly
appropriate for a new dedication
to tin principles of Christianity.
The United States, of all the
countries in the history of the
world, today enjoys more bless
ing.- and more of the good things
nl hit than an\ other nation. Yet,
we live in troubled times, when
American boys are dying on far
away battlefields and when sup
ii-weapons threaten to devastate
large areas of the world in an in
stant The ominous scene which 1
can result from the use of these I
new weapons is almost too terri

As a nation, we must hope and
pray that we will survive the)
modi in crisis and we have those

reason to believe that we will I

centuries. We celebrate the anm-|

the 25th ..f December, although
the experts have never been able
to agree that this is the right
dale January tith was observed
by tin Christians in Palestine and

operating in the state and offering
to spiay or fertilize oak trees to
prevent attack by "oak blight,"
for $25 to $'50 per tree.
Gray points out that at present
oaks injected by oak wilt have
been hiurid ’n Asheville and
hi bus Aia fe.
Furthermore, plant pathologists
KPfr not determined how. this di
sease spreads for long distances.
Therefore. Gray says, until an ojd^
ii*.. infected, no ’ re a
can be recommended
Microscopic examination of
twigs from suspected trees is the
only sure method of determining
positively whether an oak is in
fected with oak wilt.
Gray recalls that last summer
an operator was in North Carolina
who offered to treat trees so that
they would be free from attack
from all insects arid diseases for
at least five years. This man
sprayed or painted the trunks of
trees with a mixture of oil and
creosote. As a result, some thin
barked trees died.
There are reputable tree surg
ery companies and individuals
located in North Carolina and sur
rounding states who are trained
and equipped to render service
to tree owners, Gray says, but
1 fee owners should check on per
sons oi companies not known to
the tree owner.

often fatal parasite infection of

similar disease is known in Asia.

Answer Persumably, you are j
rate you should be on guard !
against transient "tree experts"
making such offers, says John L.
Gray, in charge of forestry for
the State College Extension Serv-1
ice.
"Where the firm or individual
is not known by the home owner,
the owner' would do well to check ;
with his local Chamber of Com
merce or Better Business Bureau,
before accepting any offers in
volving his trees," Gray warns j
There have been several re
ports of transient "tree experts"
observance of the Christmas I
season with fireworks comes from
France, Spain and Italy.
The belief in Santa Claus as the
giver of gifts originated in Germ
any. Saint Nicholas, the German
corruption being Santa Claus, is]
supp- v ■ ■! to have1 ■ ' '■■ ■ • >
young young women, who had no j
suitors, bags of golel, after which
gift they quickly were married
and lived happily ever afterward.
From this legend and spirit, the
Santa Claus story has grown into
the grand custom that it is today.
The Norsemen actually added the
chimney descent to the German
legend
So, the Christmas season, and
the Christmas story, are derived
from the legends and custom, of
many countries of the world. But
in no country has the traditional
observance taken on more ro
mance and charm than in 1hc
United States. As we observe this
holiday season, it’s well to r<
member thr contributions of all in
the spir it of true brother hood and
to once again resolve that their
will, some day, somehow, be
peace on earth and goodwill ;
among all men.
