The ancient Druids of Britain at- tributed mystic powers to the mistletoe plant and believed it effective against diseases, poi- sons, and. witchcraft. To an- nounce an engagement with a kiss beneath its berries was considered the best guarantee of happiness, good fortune, fer- tility and long life. Fine Wrapping Enhances Gifts Decorative wrapping can do much to enhance the appearance and value of the most simple gifts. Here are a few suggestions to help you to better gift wrapping: Always work on a solid surface -- a kitchen table, for instance -- that affords plenty of "extra"' room. Carefully measure paper before cutting. Cutting away excess paper after gift is half wrapped is cumb- ersome task, does not make for heat wrapping. Make your bow separately and do not attach it until rest of wrap- ping is completed. Be sure that ribbon matches at least one of the colors in wrap- ping paper. Don't use dainty designs or pas tel paper for a man's gift. Paper with large designs or broad stripes should not be used to wrap small packages. The Haileyburian Epiphany Cake Helps French Choose 'King' 'TassGalette. des Rois;., te "King's Cake," is the French form of Epiphany cake, according to the editors of The Encyclopedia Amer- icana. Epiphany cake is baked all over Europe, either at Christmas time to eat until Twelfth Night, January 6, or on Epiphany day. French peasants put a bean into the cake mix, and the finder of the bean, when the cake is baked and cut, is "King" for the evening. He then chooses a "Queen" to share his honors.

"Oh come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant." "Silent night, holy night.' "God rest you merry, tlemen."' "Tt came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old." "Oh little town of Bethlehem." "Deck the halls with boughs of holly." "On the first day of Christmas." Wherever people gather, the glad sounds of hymns and carols ring out at Christmas time, as they have for centuries. Although the words and music of favorite carols are well known, the meaning of the word "'carol"' itself is obscure. One explanation holds that it comes from the old gen- 'rench word, '"'caroler," meaning 'to dance." The first carols were ften sung by worshippers dancing MN a) circle: There is also the belief that "'ca- 'ol'? comes from the Greek word 'or flute player, in compliment to he musicians who played for he Christmas ring-dances.

The name, 'Father of the Yhristmas Carol.' is often given to St. Francis of Assissi. At Greccio a 1224, he arranged a -Nativity scene and led the singing of songs of praise to the Christ Child. Al- hough carols had been sung ear- ier, this act by St. Francis gave impetus to the idea of happy sing- ing at the Christmas season. Early carols were in Latin. As carols gained popularity during the fourteenth and fifteenth cen- turies, many people preferred to sing in their own languages, and new carols were developed. : The growth of carols was helped along by "wassailing" or 'good- ing'? expeditions. Children went from house to house, singing. songs and receiving treats. af Wynkyn de Word,. apprentice to the famous English printer, Cax- con, issued the first printed book of carols in 1521. ; Later, English people learned 2arols from printed "broadsides"' which sold for a penny..When the Puritans abolished holiday observ- ances in the seventeenth century, the broadsides were still printed. and '"'bootlegged" to the public. Students of Christmas stories might be puzzled whether it was a case of carol singing or carol stinging in an English legend. Ac- cording to the legend,-bees used to gather on Christmas eve to hum carols. Mystery of Magi Leads to Legends Familiar to all the visit of the Magi to Bethlehem -- and yet lit- tle is known about it. In the books of the New Testament, only St. Mathews reports the visit. St. Mathews called them "wise men from the East." In the le- gends that have developed, they cause this word, meaning "aug- ust,"" was the name given the priests of the ancient Medes and Persians. c Tradition says they had heard that a bright new star would an- nounce the coming of a Saviour to the world. After years of watch- ing, they saw the star and set out from Babylon to find Him. In Bethlehem, they gave the Christ Child gold in a shrine-shap- ed casket, a sign that they accept- ed Him as their King; frank-in- ecense, a symbol of His deity; and myrrh in a golden horn, a prophe- ey of His death. CANDLE CARE Candles are popular at Christ- mas, but they can be dangerous. If a candle is too large for the opening in the candlestick, dip the base of the candle in very hot water and you can then press it gently into the holder. Coat all but the wick of your candle with soap suds and allow to dry be- fore lighting. The candle so treated will neither smoke-nor -drip. . += .~ : Mt N NV VENTE NI VPUS UES VE NEVE DENEVE NEE 2DDPEIEENE ESEMEIENIEIET, VEINS IARI INE I Nee Ie ee ee Nee eI ICE NIT NE NN IU UR UE NNR NTI are sometimes called "Magi," be-| eee ee ee EEE EEE LEEErmr rere BUSTER'S LUNCH BAR | OS 2-3384 ADA MNAMAAANAAB sora Be Bee BeBe ee Se Dee ee BBD Bee See Er rer rere Be Haileybury | Pt ~ ?.
