A decorated Christmas tree
was first used in Ohio about
1847.
In various central European
countries the Christmas Crib,
staged In a box. Is carried
through the streets by groups of
singing children during Christ

ters It Christmas around tne
gaily decorated Christmas tree.
Although primitive trtbea trim
med trees centuries ago. It
wasn't until about 1S17 that
families In the United States
took up this custom.
Those pagans, the Egyptians.
for example, brought palm
leaves Indoors, symbolic of "life
triumphant over death." The Ro
mans trimmed trees with trin
kets and sometimes lighted can
dles with an Image of their sun
cod on top. The Druids tied
apples to the branches to thank
their god for giving them various
fruits.
When these primitive people
accepted Christianity, they con
Itnued the rites but changed
them to honor Christ The ever
green came to mean Christ's gift
of new life after a dark winter.
For even though the cold killed
most trees, the evergreen re
mains the "tree that does not
die."
In Germany about the 15th
century. Martin Luther, brought
a small fir Into hi home and
placvd lighted candles on It; to
denote the atarry fcky over the
manger the night Christ wai
born. He wanted people to ap
preciate the Chrlstmaa Joys but
the Idea spread slowly.
Then In 1SI7. a man from Ohio
named August Imgard decorated
a small spruce tree for his nieces
atdl nephews. Soon families all
around took up the Idea. At first
the decorations were very simple
fcmall toys, colored paper or
naments, strings of popcorn or
tufts of cotton.
Today lighted candles are rare
ly used and factory made orna
ments take the place of nuts and
paper chains.
The cherished tradition of ecle
bratlng Christ's birthday around
a Christmas tree has become
stronger every year. And the
evergreen branches, symbolic of
immortality, give us the faith
mat has endured since the first
uiristmas.

According to legend the phrase
"Tell It to the Marines" goes
back to the London of 16C4.
when Charles II was King of
England. A ship's master, re
turned from a long cruise, told
him a sea story he couldn't be
lieve. "Fish that fly like birds?" the
Merry Monarch exclaimed. "I
have my doubts."
"Nay, Sire, it is true," said Sir
William Kllligren, colonel of the
new British Marine regiment
raised that year. "I have myself '
seen flying fish many a time In
southern waters. I would vouch
for the truth of this strange tale.
your Majesty."
The King thought it over. At
last he turned to Samuel Pepys
me secretary or the admiralty.
"Mr. Pepys," he said, "no class
of our subjects hath such knowl
edge of odd things on land and
sea as our Marines. Hereafter
when we hear a yarn that lack
cth likelihood, we will tell it to
the Marines. If they believe It,
then we shall know it Is true.
