Not Call to arms, but a call for the camera. Every Christmas brings
picture chances such as this plan your pictures now;
the children ill their
''CAMERA nobbyists can give a new
"-. twist to the admonition, 'Do
your Christmas shopping early!"
Their watchword should be, "Plan
your Christmas pictures early!"
Of course, you probably won't re
ceive that fine new camera until
Christmas morning. (You're sup
posed to look surprised when you
Unwrap it.) But, for Christmas pic
tures before that time, the old cam
era will doubtless give good service.
And what a lot of such pre-Christ-mas
pictures there are to take, it
the holiday story is to be fully told!
!, For example, there ought to be a
good shot of you getting the Christ
mas tree. Maybe you buy the tree
from a vendor. Or, maybe you go out
Into the country and cut your own.
Either way, it's a picture.
"Then there's the decorating ot the
tree to be pictured. And a shot of
the children admiring it. And pic
tures of gifts being wrapped for
friends. And members of the family
placing packages. And pictures of
jthe children peering out of the win
dow, looking for Santa Claus. And,
ot course, the youngsters hanging
-top. their stockings, and reluctantly
going up to bed a good stairway
shot, with
nighties.
These are pictures that introduce
the Christmas story properly. Placed
in the album in proper sequence,
they lave tremendous story value.
They give you much more to re
member and half the fun of Christ
mas is in getting ready for it.
Christmas morning, of course, you
can picture the opening of the gifts;
the children enjoying new toys, and
other members of the family trying
on new gift scarves or jackets all
worth while. Then there are pic
tures at Christmas dinner, and in
the afternoon, outdoor shots show
ing the new sled or bicycle on 1ft
first trial run.
Since many shots will be indoors,
you'll need high speed film, a couple
of amateur "flood" bulbs, and an
inexpensive set of cardboard "lampshade-type"
reflectors to use with
them. Better have a few flash bulbs,
too, for the occasional shot that
requires them. And by all means
make a list of "must" pictures
snapshots you are just boivnd to get.
Telling the Christmas story is easier
if you have such an outline to work
from.

THERE was very little sunlight
in the forest. The trees were
so big, all the grown up trees.
The little fir tree stretched himself,
and tried to imagine himself as full
grown. Looking -up at the sky and
the stars and. the moon, he listened
to the big trees talk. "Isn't the
moon brieht tonieht." one would
ftay: and there would be a gentle
rustling of their leaves as the trees
would shake their heads in agree
ment. "I'm afraid you're going to be
stunted, because there is so much
shade here," a little squirrel said to
the fir one day as he jumped into
its branches and brushed the top
limbs with his bushy tail. "It takes
sunlight to make . anything grow
strong and tall."
So the little fir tree stretched him
self up, and kept his head pointed
up toward the spot of sunlight he
saw clear up through the maze of
heavy tree growth. He could be
straight and upstanding, even if he
hadn't grown tall.
Today the ground was all covered
with the snow which stayed white
in the forest. All but a few birds
had gone south. Every once in a
while there was the sound of steel
striking against wood, and infre
quently a crashing sound of falling
trees.
The tall trees began to tremble.

is a funny time of year," one mur-

"I never saw a more beautiful
tree," he said. "It seems to glow."
mured to the others. Then one of
the little snow birds spoke. "Have
you forgotten that every year they
come to cut Christmas trees?"
"What are Christmas trees?" the
little fir asked.
"Oh, they cut down the trees and
take them in the house, and put
candles on them so they look like
stars, and spangles that look like
snow shining in the moonlight. And
the people sing songs and give each
other gifts, and it is a time of being
glad," the little snow bird twittered.
"Oh, I wish they would take me,"
the little tree cried in excitement.
"I'd love to see it all. I'd love to
make people happy. But I'm too
little," and he sighed unhappily.
"Sh! Let's all be quiet," one of
the tall trees exclaimed. "The
woodsmen are coming near us. We
must be quiet so they won't notice
us. Then we won't be cut down and
left to die."
But in spite of their silence, the
men drew near. They looked at the
trees, and one of them said: "Oh,
these are all too tall. No house or
church could hold them. Let's get
on."
Just then a little lad who was
riding in the sled, called to his fa
ther: "Dad, can we find a little tree
for sister? Couldn't we find a cute
little tree to put in her very own
room?"
"Ho! Ho!" laughed a big rough
man. In her own room? Wo little
girl will stay in her room on Christ
mas day!"
The lad's father answered, sadly:
"Yes. my little girl will. She had
infantile paralysis last summer, and
hasn't been able to walk since. Sure
ly, son,-we'll find a little tree for
her."
"Here I am, here I am! come
and get me,'' the little fir tree called
out lustily. And the little boy turned
and saw the branches trembling,
and the little snow bird flying away.
"Why, dad, there is a cute little
tree over there. Such a beautiful
straight tree. Wouldn't that do?"
he called. r
The man got out from the sled.
He walked to the tree and fondled it
gently. "I never saw a more beauti
ful tree. It seems to glow. Molly
will love it," he said with a smile.
The little tree was so happy that
he didn't feel the blows from the
ax that cut him to the ground. And
when they put him into the sled, he
was still happy. The little boy
called to his father: "It sounds as if
the little tree was singing when the
wind blows through its branches."
And the little tree laughed delight-
