Christmas Decorations
ChrMmaj decorations can very well become Family tra

practiced fvery year they become a tradition that 1 rjronen

were so many beautiful decorations, the Judges had to elim

Their recommendations listed below may be guidelines
for future decorations for Heppner families.
1 We had no list of previous winners. In case of tie
or very close competition, it might be well to give preference
to one that may not have won the year before. What about
giving recognition from year to year If the same residents
have outstanding decorations, but eliminate them from the
money prize and move down the scale one notch?
2 Many window decorations were beautiful but all look
ed so' much alike there was no preference. If this category
is continued, residents preparing inside decorations might be
urged to make background, framework, more outstanding,
and more original. What about larger prizes for outside on

Still Wondering
Is It a school or a church? The old time pictures in last
week's Gazettc-Times has some old timers talking. Someone
has come up with the Idea that It may not have been taken
in front of the old school, but maybe in front of a church.
The group is much too old for a high school class. Everyone
is dressed up like they were at church.

A Review of Christmas
Now, that this year's Christ-

a back glance to measure what
h, a ntinnnH tn iic I'm crnincr back
75 years to certain Chrlstma.ses
when friends and relatives rifled
a tree that was decorated with
strings of popcorn, popcorn balls,
and tinsel strips. It was lighted
by colored wax candles held in
place by tin holders. It was an
enchanting sight When it was
stripped of gifts, the men had
felt boots, German sox, ear-
muffs, Bull Durham and plug
tobacco. The women had shawls,
high button shoes, long kid
cloves and curliner Irons. The
older boys had metal-toed shoes.
and knit mittens. The older
girls had beaded fascinators,
"peek-a-boo" sweaters, and dec
orated side combs. We young
sters settled for the popcorn,
slates, pencils, tablets, picture
books and a tin horn (that
would blow once) and a drum
that lasted longer. After gloat
ing over their gifts, all turned
to the Christmas table loaded
with turkey, mince and apple
pie, home made "twisted dough
nuts" and grandma's cookies.
There was the Chirstmas spirit
then. It is the same today but
observed more at random.
