Alene Mlntz, home service repre
sentative for Carolina Power and
Light Co. Homemakers elsewhere
also are drawing upon home econo
mics of the power company for ug
gesttons. '
. A few of their Ideas are offered
below. .' "'..;:.' '. '"
. .From Santa Clans on the roof to
a simple wreath on the front door,
outside decorations become, more
glamorous under the brilliant beam
of a white spotlight Colored lenses
on the spot give even the simplest
decorations a fairyland appearance.
. .A Christmas "mobile" for the hall
hi easily constructed. Select a small
tree limb with a pretty arrange
ment of branches. Paint this either
silver or white and ataoh Christmas
ornaments to it Suspend this from
the eclling with plan wire and
watch the shadows dance as air c or
ients twist It to and fro. A spot
light focused on the "mobile' win
Intensify the shadows. This same
creation makes an attractive mantel
decoration. '
. Magnolia leaves, sprayed, with
"canned snow" and banked around
candles provide a holiday arrange
ment Just right for the table or
mantel. The snow will glisten under
the soft candle lighting. Christmas
tree balls placed here and there add
a touch of color.
. .A shadow box Is easy to make and
provides a point of Interest in win
dow decorations. Take a box that
is at least six Inches deep. Cover
the whole box with Christmas wrap
ping paper. Choose your favorite
symbol of the Yuletide, such as
Christmas tree or an angel, ' ai
sketch It on the side of the box.
Cut this -figure out and cover the
opening with a piece of transpar
ent paper pasted an the insu
From the top of the box Insert a
all electric light Now cut a
dltlonal holes In the top to allow
the heat from the light to escape.
The light shining through the cut-
oat will bring the figure to life,,
.The Christmas' tree remains the
focal point of Tnletide decorations.
Tour preference in the color of
lights should express the prefer
ence of the whole family, and every
member of the family can take part
in the ceremony that decorating
the Christmas, tree has. become.
From Junior to granddad, Christmas
decorations will have more mean
ing If each has had an opertuntty
to add his own special touch. .....
."THE WISE MEN" . ,
By InaT. West ' - .
God's bright star was a guide for the wise men ,
As they made their journey to Bethlehem.
They saw in that star a luster so bright , '' '
The fulfillment' of God's promise His Holy Light. -They
were looking for that star with great anticipation,.
And immediately recognized it as the star of Jacob.
It heralded Ahe coming of the King of the Jews
The new born King was the idea Herod refused. '
He asked these men to report on the findings there
Of God's great promise His son and heir, - '
They departed and again the star was their guide
They found the young child for them to decide. r
How wonderful God tookvpare of His Son V
'Twas His precious will that had to be done. , ,
He sent His Son to make atonement for sin '
This atonement made life fuller for men.
Herod issued a terrible decree . . (s
To kill all males under three . ' ' , '
An angel appeared to Maryj His mother
To take the young child," flee to Egypt and no other. I
Gifts were brought by the men so wise. -' ,
As a symbol .of, their service and not a disguise.
With our talents and service to God's church we bring
We become as the Wise Men, ' ' . . r
Bearing gifts to our Lord and King . - -
