the georgetown herald wednesday evening december 7th 1936 page 3 xut i am a happy little tree i stand beside thefront entrance of a white cottage on a quiet street bach christmas time i bloom out in beautiful colored lights and all who pass share my beauty apd catch something of the joy of christ- ma but i was not always happy like this once i lived in a great forest surrounded by trees so tall i could only catch a glimbse of the blue sky above me and i felt very small and lonely i too wanted to be tall to look out on the big world like the others and feel the sun shining through my branches x would stretch out my limbs as far as i could and send my rootsdeeper in to the earth but my progress was so slow i grew discouraged one day i saw a man and a boy coming through the forest the man carried something over his shoulder and they seemed to be looking lor something then the boy saw me and cried look father there is just the tree we want he ran over to me and fairly hugged me in his eagerness the man looked me 1 over fine he said but when he began digging with the thing he had carried on his shoulder i be gan to tremble i felt my roots snap one by one and soon i lay a tumbled heap on the ground life seemed over for me next i was tied to a funny looking thing on wheels that sputtered and growled when the man and boy climbed in and we started off down a twisty little road that wound through the forest then out on a big shining highway until we came to a wide driveway that led through a sloping lawn to a white cottage here i was untied and put into a large earthen jar filled with sand and carried into the house and set in a corner of a big room beside a sunny window oh the joy of hav ing the sun on my branches 1 be gan to feel less scared and to look about me in a big mirror opposite i could watch the man as he fastened me upright then he put a string of two little faces pressed against the window pane lights from my top to my toe whistling softly as he worked then i heard a door open and a rush of feet a little boy and a girl dashed into the rsoirr crying mammaj come quick and see our christmas tree they clapped their hands and danced about me soon the mother came with a box filled with shining lovely things and my plain green dress was covered with sparkling jewels i hardly dared look in the mirror for i remem bered i was only a humble tree after all and what 1 saw could not be me at all but the great silver star on my topmost branch made me feel very happy i seemed to draw courage from just looking at tt after a time i was left to myself i was glad as i needed to rest up a bit and get used to my strange surroundings it grew dark outside and snow was falling but inside my star shone and a quiet peace came over me then once more the doors opened nd a merry group of people came in this time there were father and grandfather and grandmolner too and mother leading the little boy and girl everyone was saying how lovely i was but i did not want them to look at me i wanted them to see two little faces outside pressed against the window pane the boy saw them first look daddy mamma he shouted and pointed to the window there are two children out there bring them in daddy give them some of our christmas and the little girl clapped her hands and cried oh do daddy its cold out there when they were brought in look- 1 ihg rather scared but rlad i was so happy i almost shodk my baubles off then mother made music on big box with shining keys and everyone sang christmas carols then father told the old story of the shepherds and the star that led to the christ child then a jolly roan with a red coat and a pack on his back gave everyone presents including the littlestrangers there were candle and nuts plenty for al and such a babble of happy voices i felt the thrill of it myself i- and the big star glowed in sympa thy kemsheads home bakery delicious pies chicken patties christmas cakes special wednesday and saturday cream

pictures are easy to take whether you have a simple box cam era or a highgrade folding camera with ultrafast lens charming silhouettes of persons can be made with the sunset as a background and sunset shots across a lake or stream with reflections are remarkably beautiful the effect of a sunset 1b heightened by a good foreground such as a frame of trees or overhanging leafy branches in the country try shooting the sun set with a piece of farm machinery silhouetted against it a plowing scene with straining horses silhou etted against the sunset sky makes a success ul snapshot one of the most important points in picturing sunsets ts to obtain a strong vigorous cloud effect good clouds are often better than a riot of brilliant color at least for black- andwhite picture purposes in many cases a more striking result will be obtained if yon place a color filter over the camera lens the filter brightens its own colors and dark ens its opposite or complementary colors when in doubt shoot one picture with the filter and one with out a good sunset ts worth an extra shot or two either chrome type or panchro matic film is excellent for sunset pictures short exposures are desir able in order to subdue detail tu the foreground if yours is a box camera which has a choice of lens openings use the smaller opening with rapid- lens cameras try an exposure of f16 at 150 or 1100 second if the sunset is quite bright and you are shooting across water you may use an open ing as small as f22 watch the sunsets keep your camera loaded ready for action and yon will add many a charming

little man there is a santa claus thank god the world would indeed be poor without one it is true that he does not always wear a white beard and drive a reindeer team not al ways you know but what does it matter he is santa claus with the big loving christmas heart for all thit santa claus with the kind thoughts for everyone that make children and grownup people beam with happiness all day long and shall 1 tell you a secret which i did not learn at the postoffice but it is true all the same of how you can always be sure your letters go to him straight by the chimney route it is this send along with them a friendly thought lor the boy you dont like for jack who punched you or jim who was mean to you the meaner he was the harder do you resolve to make it up not to bear him a grudge that is the stamp for the letter to santa claus nobody can stop it not even a crossdraught in the chim ney when it has that on because dont you know santa claus is the spirit of christmas and ever and ever so many years ago when the dear little baby was born after whom we call christ mas and was cradled in the manager out in the stable because there was not room in the inn that spirit came into the world to soften the hearts of men and make them love one another therefore that is the mark of he spirit to this day dont let anybody or anything rub it out then the rest doesnt matter let them tear santas white beard off at the sunday school festival and growl in his bearskin coat these are only his disguises the steps of the real santa claus you can trace all through the world as you have done here with me and when you stand in the last of his tracks you will find the blessed iabe of bethlehem smiling a welcome to you for then you will be home carrolls salmon as f 15c pork beans 7 c chateau
