This scene is near Kake a Wisconsin. ovel Decoration Theme If fou would like to dress - up your #Christmas card display this yearbe business-like about it -- by borrowing the bulletin board "idea.i: tas is inexpensive and easy. All that is required is a suitably-siz- ed piece of wallboard and, if you want: to be _fancy about it, some half-round or marrow moulding. Sométimes these materials can be unearthed from your let's save /it, it may come in handy"' stockpile in the basement but they can always be picked up from your local' 'building supply dealer. The. wallboard, trimmed either squafe or rectangular to your re- quirements, should be painted with to blend in with the wall on which it is to be: hung and to provide a suit- able background for the cards. Fortunately, the best paint for wallboard is the easy-to-use, no- muss: latex paint. This requires' no sizing for, unlike oil-based paints, | not. absorbed by the porous wallt oard. And _ practically any. ~ shade you ° 'desire can be found in . latex'paint... : The: painted. past can- aS nee in hall or livmgroom as is, or framed with half-round of mould- ing "for. a more finished look. Frame can be painted to rmatch: or, for contrast, in white or gold to complement almost any color. Then with your prettiest cards pinned on it, you have a decora- tive and festive holiday conversa- tion piece. If you have lots of cards and 'lots of room you can expand the bulletin board idea into a screen. Two or_three oblong - panels of wallboard nailed to hinges of three- quarter round, (which also serve as legs) .and suitably painted, make a striking decorator screen. Either method will pose no stor- age problem after Christmas -- bets are bulletin board or screen will be grabbed by younger mem- bers of the family for year-round pinup duty in their room. -- Mistletoe One cannot help but wonder chow mistletoe came to be the "kissing plant." The mistletoe is a parasite, or "thief'" which attaches to a host tree and- "qamder. certain - circumstances -- will sap. the life out of a heal- thy, sturdy tree. Mistletoe usually grows on. oaks, mostly in the tep bran-- ches. The seeds are probably goneeted by birds. . rr x ida Coa ei gE t Bae Tes ps Por eae Pee Pa Fede Pe ee ete Pe Pe Pee eee re ca Barley bury We hope you have @ _ wonderful Christmas Rs fe a teas SS DEF Sree Fer! aay STOR, pears § 2.3402, SET EE MOR SADLER CONTRACT ING iin LUMINESCENT wate! Siri ie miievne Genes i _Hoileybury: » Fee retested Twelfth Night in Old Plays During the Middle Ages, Epi- phany, or Twelfth Night, was commemorated with plays pre- sented in churches. Solemm ob- servances largely disappeared in Elizabeth England, and they be- came a time for revelry. Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night' reflects this» mood. It was prob- ably presented in a command per- formance at Whithall Palace on January 6, 1601, according to his- torians. Today child "kings" crowned with golden paper coronets roam the streets of Europe on Epipha- ny, singing hymns and carols. In Italy, millions of children awake to find their stockings filled with presents from La Befana, the good- hearted witch who takes the place of Santa Claus. -_In France, a portion of the Epi- phany cake is often set aside as "Ya -~part de Dieu'--God's share. It is given to the first poor per- son who comes to the door. In Greece, three pieces of cake are cut: one for Christ, one for Mary, and one for St. Basil. In Britain, Twelfth Night cake is washed down with Lamb's Wool, a drink made with hot, strong ale spiced with nutmeg and sugar. Some folks pick up a box of Christmas cards and mail them out. Others snap a picture of the children under the tree to illus- trate their Yuletide greetings. But for 25 years, a State Col- lege, Pa., couple have been doing it differently, and their friends won't let them stop now. They are David and Madeline Campbell who for the past quar- |ter--of a century have collected zesty' little bits of news from mutual friends -- who broke their legs, were married, or had some other dramatic adventure -- then boiled the information down and flavored it with Campbell poetry for an annual Christmas letter. How did the Christmas letter get started? "Who knows how it got started?" says Madeline. "How do you quit? Our friends won't let us quit." Campbell is a retired Pennsyl- vania State University professor who for nearly 30 years taught engineering drawing. Now, he is a once-a-year author and some 500 friends of Dave and Madeline Campbell -- in a half dozen foreign countries and most of the United States -- refuse to let the dynamic Campbell Christ- mas letter give way to a conven- tional card. Aerosol 'Snows' Aid To Novel Decorations For the party-minded, aerosol "snows"? can be used in making novel table decorations from such | simple materials as pine cones, boughs, and sprigs of holly. Col- orful centrepieces for candlelight suppers can be made with a short length of birch log, drilled to hold red candles, and then sprayed with the snow. With a little ingenuity and imag- ination, the homemaker can use the white and colored snows in "spray painting'? simple Christ- mas designs on window panes or glass surfaces. Cut-out paper or cardboard masks can be made for each color area. For best results, the aerosol snow should be sprayed from a distance of about 24 inches--the deposit of simulated snow. "MISTLETOE CUSTOMS . The ancient Druids worshipped mistletoe because it grew on their sacred oak. At the end of each year, a Druid priest would cut down the mistletoe with a golden sickle, and not: one twig was al- lowed to touch the earth. Later, 'sprigs of mistletoe were fastened over doorways to ward off evil spirits...
