Home Hints
By Ruth Current
State Home Demonstration Agent
- Safe Christmas: The Christmas
season is one for fun and fellow
ship hut it can be one of sorrow
and tragedy. Many disastrous home
fires have been caused because of
faulty Christmas lights, and many
painful Tails have come from put
ting the star at the top of the tree.
To insure you and your family
of a truly Merry Christmas, check
yourself on these safety points:
1. Are the cords of your Christ
mas lights frayed or damaged?
2. Are the pfugs cracked?
3. Is your Christmas tree rooted
in a pail of damp soil or sand to
prevent its drying out? Dry needles
exposed to hot bulbs invite trouble.
4. Is your tree placed too close
to window curtains? Many curtain
materials ignite easily.
5. Po you leave the Christmas
lights on when no one is in the
room or in the house? Leaving the 1
lights, on for long periods of time
can cause trouble, particularly if
there is no one about to check the
fixtures occasionally.
6. If you have lighting out-of
doors, is it the type of lighting that
has been weatherproofed? Severe
shock may result from using indoor
lights outside in damp weather.
7. Take precautions in trimming
the tree. Use a firm step-ladder
for decorating the top of the tree.
8. Has any inflammable ma
terial been placed about the base
of the tree?
9. When the trimming job is
done, is the floor free of loose
needles or ornament fragments that
may cause falls?
10. 1'recautions should also be
taken if gifts are to be unwrapped
about an open fire.
Holiday Nosegay ? It's Different
Cut pieces of wire about 4 inches
long ? allow two for each nosegay
and string each with a few cran
berries. Twist the wire ends to
gether to hold the "posies" in
place and tuck in the center of a
tiny hemlock spray. (Th? kind
with tiny cones). Fasten the ends
together with wire and wrap in foil
for that final touch. Wear 'em on
your coat lapel, use 'em as favors
for your Christmas table, tuck 'em
under the bows of your gayly
wrapped gifts.
Cranberry Punch ? Gocd Hot
or Cold
Combine 4 cups of berries and 3
cups water; cook until soft ? about
15 minutes. Put through sieve.
Add 2 cups sugar and return to
heat. Bring to quick boil and cook
2-3 minutes; cool. Add juiee of 2
lemons and juice of 2 oranges.
Spice to taste, if desired.

Religious Art Contrasts
With New Developments
Modern ? One of the current developments of rellgiotls art in
Europe is shown in the picture. It was taken in a small church at
Vence in the mountains behind the French Riviera. The church has
been decorated by the noted French artist. Henri Matisse. He de
signed the altar at the left. His black and white drawing of Saint
Dominick at the right contrasts with the traditional forms of colored
statutes and paintings which r**>e the basis for nativity scenes in most
European churches at Christmas time.
Paris (AP) ? Approach of the
Christmas season in Europe tends i
to stress a religious art issue in I
France.
In European churches, statues
of the Holy Family usually are set
up at Christmas time in a manger
scene. These scenes are presented
in the traditional art form.
Meanwhile some leading contem- j
porary artists and some churchmen
have combined to introduce a new
type of religious art which con
trasts sharply with the old.
The traditional form was worked
out in centuries of painting and
sculpture of religious subjects.
Christ is almost always painted in
white clothing and given a calm
but sorrowing face. European in
cast. Mary is dressed in blue.
Joseph is dressed in brown. Of
the group Joseph is the most near
ly Middle-Eastern in appearance.
The Christ child is oftep shown
making symbolic signs as an igCftnf
Artists Make Changes
The contemporary artists have
made the greatest change in their
pictures of Christ. Their work has
been condemned by some bishops
and approved by others. In some
cases it has been ordered removed.
The changes in the pictures of
Christ and in other forms of church
decoration have brought blasts
from some Christian writers. Mon
signor Celso Costantini assailed the
free-wheeling modern diversionists
in the Vatican newspaper Osserva
tore Romano recently.
On the other hand Fr. M. A.
Couturier comes to the defense of
moderi\ art. He says the work by
Henri Matisse in the church he is
decorating at Vence is superb.
Modern Decoration Technique
This aging artist has taken over
the whole decoration of the little
church. His line drawings are in
black and white. The walls are
plain, unbroken expanses. In ad
dition, the colored glass windows
are so arranged that they cast their
own special patterns on the walls.
'Matisse is quoted as saying: "If
I had not thought I had a mission,
I would not have had the strength
to do what I am doing."
He is eightyish and unable to
spend much time on ladders. Seat
ed in a chair, he ofteti draws high
on the wall with a brush or crajjyt
fastened to a long pole.
Another church at Audincourt
has been decorated by three of the
most modern of moderns. (Mr.)
Joan Miro, Fernand Leger and
Jean Bazaine.
Christ's Sadness Depicted
At Assy, Georges Roualt's paint
ing of Christ has been the inspira
tion for a colored glass window by
Paul Bony. It is harsh in line and
GREAT
OAK
design, but conveys the deep sad
ness of Christ's passion as do few
other more formal, traditional por
trayals of Christ. It is only one of
Rouatt's efforts to accomplish an
aim he set for himself, to paint a
Chrfst so moving that anyone see
ing it could not help but believe.
It is pointed out that no one
painted a portrait of Christ during
his lifetime. Not until centuries
after His birth did painters in
Christian Europe begin to decorate
churches with paintings of the
Holy Family: There were conflicts
as to whether Christ was blond -or
brunette although most often He
was shown as a golden-haired fig
ure. The same conflict as to hair
coloring arose about Mary, the
mother of Christ.
Doctor Urges
Better Service
Steps to improve the office and
working facilities of local health
departments were urged yesterday
by Dr. C. C. Applewhite, director
of the division of local health of
the state board of health. .
Dr. Applewhite declared "The
time has come when those who are
really interested in sound public
health programs must take steps
to improve the housing facilities of
[local health departments."
He said programs offered by lo
cal health departments often have
been limited because of limited of
fice and working space. Poor quar
ters also have had "an adverse ef
fect on securing adequately train
ed personnel," Dr. Applewhite as
serted.
Dr. Applewhite pointed out that
the first full-time county health de
partment in the United States was
established in Guilford county in
1911. Since then, he added, "the
public health program in North
Carolina has grown until everv
county in the state has provided
public health service for its citi
zens."
Hairlfess Fox Shot

unknown reason, had 3hed practi
cally all of its hair.
