C, YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME AT or u:u' of the handsome foliage rnue plants, you enn enjoy ther. a long time by fiving them good care, says Miss Vcrna Stan ton, assistance state agent for the State College Exension Ser vice. For insance, if you give your poinsettia a four-months' rest in a cool place where it won't freeze, it will flower again next winter. The soil around the plant will dry out, but it should not be watered during this per iod, Miss Ptanton says. About the first of May, cut the poin-ettia back if there is too much old wood, then shake or wash the old soil from the roots and repot. The plant will then be ready to start life anew in a light, warm place. It will ' need watering whenever the soil I looks dry. j Set it out of doors as soon as the nights are r.o longer co'd in a hole as deep as the pot. Place ! the plant pot and all in the South Elm St.; hoic ;,rd vlle"' ,"'jvvth sUvU ' support the stems with stakes. The plant shoiild be returned indoors when there is a chance for frost in the fall. Miss Stan ton says, and room temperature should be kept between 60 and 65 degrees. Supply the plant with a little liquid manure about once a week and there should be plenty of bloorrs for Christ mas, 1947! The Jerusalem cherry, and other similar house plants that convey Christmas spirit should be cared for in much the same manner as poinsettias, Miss Stan ton says.

When I was just a little lad No "boughten ' tfnsel bails and strings Electric lights were unknown things. But weeks before the crucial date. Ma would let us sit up late. Till nine, or even ten o'clock. And make free with her kitchen stock: We'd string cranberries red and bright. And fresh-popped corn all snowy-white A string of each alone, we'd flx'rm And sometimes on one tring we'd mix 'em To lend variety and spice; And Ma would look and sav: "That's nice!" Then from her cherished kitchen hoards , She'd bring bright apples, beans, and gourds To see which one cruld best invent His own new Christmas ornament! (An apple, using beans for eyes. Heroines a Magi old and wis? Aided by a broomstraw beard To make his prophecy rcwred.) And we would cut a paper star To guide our wise men from afar. The years have passed, and nowadays A Christmas tree's a tinsel maze Rut I often think of the home-made tree, And how ir.uch heme it made for me! LAST Ct'HI.ST.MAS LAY, I was at sea, but very thankfully on iv wiy home. You may recall v. hat terrific storms were to.sing the Atlantic at that tin e. Waves wc e taJ'er than our masts, and we heard on the radio of soldiers and sailors fetting their legs and arms oroken on other ships "bul fortunately nothing like that happened to our men. ON CHRISTMAS MORNTXG, a religious service was held in the main dining salon the boy who led it was a sergeant, a pastor in civilian life who had not elected to become a chaplain JUST BEFORE THE SERVICE, the seas calmed down almost miraculously. The sergeant's theme was that although we were sore ly disappointed at not being with our .loved ones; on that day, we were thankful for having core safely thus far. Amen- AUL CHRISTMAS DAY, THE SEAS were calm but toward midnight they rose again as if that one day HAD BEEN A SPECIAL GIFT a precious GIFT OF PEACE amid the SEAS OF TURMOIL. - IT'S A GIFT He aays his painting is a gift (Give it back!)
