World Still Doesn't Know
"True Date of Christmas
The exact date of the birth
Christ is shrouded In confu-
Eon and, as a result, the cele
ration of Christmas occurs on
itny different dates through

Calendar of Philocalus which
appeared in the year 334 A. D.,
it states: "In the Year One
After Christ, the Lord Jesus
was born on December S3, a
Friday, and the 13th day of the
New Moon."
Another ancient book writ
ten by Tippolytus In 202 A. D.,
tells us that Jesus was born in
Bethlehem "on Wednesday, De
cember 25th, in the 42nd year
of Augustus."
However, according to as
tronomy, December 23, A. D. 1,
fell on Sunday.
In terms of our American
Christmas, the holiday is cele
brated from six to 10 days lat
er in some countries, and in
others it is observed earlier.
December 6 is the date of
Christmas in most Western
European countries and is the
beginning of a long holiday
season.
The Armenians were the
first people to set up a Chris
tian state and their Christmas
Eve is January 6. ...
Original St. Nick
The original St. Nicholas
was born in Patras in Asia Mi
nor in the tnira century A. v.
His history tells of many mira
cles and great deeds and of
help to the poor and needy. He
is patron saint of children,
bankers, pawn brokers, mari
ners, scholars, and thieves.
KEEP TREES MOIST
Keep your tree fresh and
moist by placing It firmly in
a bucket of sand. Wet the
sand generously and water
every day. This reduces the
hazards of fire and keeps the
needles fresh.
Don't Let Careless
Accident Spoil Yule
Don't let carelessne-. cause
home accidents that couid spoil
a happy holiday. Play it safe
with the following precautions:
Never use a makeshift box
to stand upon to decorate the
top of the tree. Be sure to use
a sturdy, well-balanced ladder
and avoid painful falls.
When you use an extension
cord for your Christmas tree
lights, be sure it's placed so
that no one will trip over it.
Never run cords under rugs as
walking on them causes fric
tion which could result in a
fire.
On Christmas morning, after
the gifts have been opened, re
move the paper wrappings and
boxes promptly. A carelessly
dropped cigarette or match
couid start a sudden fire.
