While not seeking to m in i
mize the Impor tance of any of
tlie above points, perhaps two
should tie stressed: overloads
and physical Inspections.
Overloads are p rim a rily
created by placing more cur
rent on a wire than It can
handle lu t not enough tocause
a fuse to blow. At Christmas
this Is usually due to place
ment of too many bulbs on a
single extension cold. Result:
over-heating; melting insula
tion; exposed wire; shock,
electrocution or flie . Hence,
always look for tie capability
of tlie wiring supplying tlie
lighting.
examination of Insulation Is
a m inor task but one of major
Importance. Wiring that has
been stored In attics or cellars
foi a long period of time can
bucume vulnetable to the ele
ments. Consequently, varying
tamper atures can easily affect
tlie Insulation to the point of
being incapable of serving its
protective jxirpose.

Since 1971 is tlie 30th annl
versary of enrichment, the
nutritional
contribution of
bread to the diet of Amer
icans takes on special Im
portance In this year’ s com
memorations.
Before World
War H,
dietary studies showed that
levels of certian nutrients
were 1 owe re than adequate In
national diet — amont them
the B-vitamtns, Iron, iodine
and Vitamin D. To correct
this, programs were esta
blished fo r the enrichment
and the fortification of those
products that were popular,
readily available and inex
pensive.
In determining a vocabulary
fo r the philosophy of public
food Improvement, federal
authorities limited the word,
"enrichm ent,” to the addition
of particular nutrients to flour
and bread. " F o rtifie d " was
chose to Indicate the addition
of nutrients norm ally not pre
sent In the food — such as
Vitamin D In mild or iodine
in common table salt. "R e
stored" was used to indicate
the replacement of nutrients
which might have been lest
In processing food.
Bread was selected to ca rry
the B-vitarnins — thiam ire,
niacin and roboflavin, and the
mineral Iron. Enriched bread
also
s u p p lie s
valuable
amounts of calcium, from m ilk
solids used in preparation and
calcium compounds added as
dough conditioners and to pre
vent staling.
American cooks, in addi
tion to appreciating bread's
nutritive contributions, find
an astounding variety of ways
to use bread.
Of course.
there’ s the sandwich, but
bread also makes puddings,
casseroles, croutons, crumb
coatings, and stuffings.
"T u rke y Turnabouts" give
a new twist to stuffing ideas.
Instead of making a savory
bread stuffing to put inside
the big bird, put the bird
in the bread. Super fo r sup
per, or lunch, the recipe starts
with enriched Vienna hard
ro lls . Hollow out a cavity for
the fillin g , then mix the
crumbs with choped cocked
turkey, celery, ripe olives,
onion, poultry seasoning and
cream of chicken soup. Pile
the switcheroo stuffing in the
ro lls , bake, and you’ve got a
hot and hearty meal.

First decorated Christmas tree
used in England 130 years ago
Christm as c u s to m s the
world overate as varied as me
patterns of light that shine
from an ornament. But few
legends are as diverse and
alxindant as those sun ounding
the origin of tlie Christmas
tree.
Although evergreens, as
symbols of survival, have a
long association with C h rist
mas festivities, the firs t dec
orated, gift-laden Christmas
tree is believed to have been
used 130 years ago. Prince
A lbert and Queen V ictorla bad
one with lights ami gifts on it
In Windsor Castle In 1841.
In tlie early decades of tie
19th centui y, however. House
ful presents were evei placed
on the tixse’ s branches; they
went on a table nearby or un
derneath. (inly tlx* shining or
naments adorned tlie tree. In
Southern Europe, a custom
was to place a creche beneath
its brandies.
From e a ille st times man Is
known to have used trees In
worship. Ancient legend says
that tlie tree of knowledge In
the Garden of Eden wasanev-
ergreen. It Is said that tlie tree
blossomed and bore fiu it, lu t
that Its foliage shrank to tiny
leaves when Eve plucked its
fru it.
On the night C h rist was
burn. It is believed to have
blossomed again; thus tlie ev
ergreen tree became a symbol
of Christmas.
Ayletie E. and Cameron
Cooke, In OUR CHRISTMAS
SYMBOLS, say thatChrtstmas
trees were firs t used In tlie
medieval German paradise
plAys, held outdoors and por
traying the creation of man.
The tree of life was a fir , hung
with apples. Later other orn-
anments were placed on the
branches as w ell.
One early legend about the
origin of the C hristm as tree,
according to O.A. Battista, a
Yardley, P a , collector of
Chi istmas legends and tra d i
tions, Is based on the three
trees said to have been near
C h ris t’ s manger: the olive, the
date, and the pine tree.
The olive gave its fru it to
honor the newborn King,and
the palm gave its dates as an
offering. But the pine had noth
ing to give. Some stars above,
says the legend, desecended
gently and rested on its boughs
as a g ift of light.
Another legend concernsSt.
Boniface, who completed the
Christianization of Germany
in the HihCentury and dedicat
ed tlie fir tree to the C hrist
Child to replace the sacred oak
of (kiln .
On Christinas Eve, so the
story goes, while the famed
missionary was hewing down
the oak that had become tlie
object of Idolatrous worship,
a tornado blasted it. Just be
hind It stood a young f i r tree
with a green spire pointing to
the stars.
The story | S that on one
Christm as Eve Luther wan
dered outdoors and became
enraptured with the starry
sky. The beauty and bright
ness caused him to reflect on
the gory of the fir s t C h rist
mas Eve in Bethlehem.
Wishing to share this with
his wife and children, he felled
an evergreen, glistening wnh
snow, and took it home. Then
he placed candles on it to rep
resent the brilliance of the
heavens outside.
The use of a candle-lighted
tree spread, firs t through
Europe, and then to America,
where It came to be regarded
as the fairest ornament of
Christm as. E le ctric illu m i
nation of Christmas trees
firs t began in 1902.
Famous Christmas trees In
the United States include the
General Grant Tree in Sequoia
National Park, C a lif, desig
nated in 1926 as Am erica’ s
Christmas Tree; a live oak of
more than 110-foot spread in
Wilmington, N.C., viewed by
thousands of Christmas p il
grim s when it is brightly light
ed; and since the time of Pres
ident John Adams, theC hrist-
mas tree in the White House
for the firs t fam ily.
Lhe
national Christmas
tree, brought In each year
from one of the states and sta
tioned on the E 11 ipse behind the
White House, was firs t lit by
President E isenhower inDec-
ember, 195k, to signal the
start of the Pageant of Peace.
Boniface turned to the pa
gans and said: "T h is little tree
which is a young child of the
forest shall he your holytree.
It is the wood of peace, foi your
homes are built of It. It Is the
sign of an endless life , fo r its
leaves are always green. Let
this be the tree of tlie C h rist
Child. Gather about it, not in
the wild woods, but in your own
homes. There it w ill shelter
no deed of blood, but loving
gifts and acts of kindness."
Historians say thatst. Boni
face fir s t used a star on top of
a Chi Istmas tree, and they
trace the o rlg in o f illuminating
the tree to M artin [.uthei .who
placed lighted candles In an
evergreen.
