It is a good thing I am an electrician. I’d possibly starve to death.” (The kids should have heard such heresy!) A few seconds followed while he put on his dark green knit tie be- fore he continued his slightly weary talk: “It was all right at first and the pay was good—$4 for a party appearance or a club or a lodge. Or $2 for a private home call. But I guess I can’t take it anymore. Any how, the kids won’t miss me. (Imag ine that, the kids not missing Santa Claus!) Comes next year there will be one ex-Santa who isn’t filling stockings, and putting presents under trees, or telling pop to take it easy with son’s electric train. That retired Santa will be just sitting in his own home—not, definitely not, at the North Pole—listening to the Christ mas carols on the radio, and wig- gling his toes. For his shoes will be off. | I AY you be blessed . . . with 305 happy, healthy and prosper ous days during 1943 SAM MOORE & SON E- ;, j ( A) E are proud to have done our part - 12 j in this community during 1942, )s / and equally proud to have had W the hearty support of so many of 6. its citizens.

Behrman and Employees | | i Fortunately, the “idea” in the | minds of some to tel) the truth to | the kiddies—that there isn't a San- ta Claus—isn't catching on as well as they hoped Everybody—and this includes the kids—enjoys a good story, especial- j ly around the Christmas season. Down through the years have come many beautiful stories, jammed with the kindness of the best in hu manity. It is from such stories that many of our Christmas customs have come. For the observance of | such customs the United States is indebted to many lands. Palestine, Egypt, Turkey, Italy, Germany, England and Holland all have done their bit to contribute to our added enjoyment of Christmas customs j and traditions. To the Holy Land, | more than any other, all civiliza tion is indebted for the matchless | history of the Christ child One writer who has investigated I the observance of the birth of the Christ Child has noticed one curi ous fact. That is, Christmas was not among the eat liest festivals of the church. Irenaeus and Tertul- lian, early church fathers, omitted | it from the list of feasts. According | to what Origen noticed in the Bible, only sinners, not saints, celebrated | their birthday. It was in the year 200 A. D. that I evidence of the feast of Christmas was first noted. This was in Egypt. And it wasn't until years afterwards that December 25 was decided upon as being the date for the celebra- | tion of Christ's birthday. During | ' that time Christmas was celebrated on various days, one of the dates being as late as May 20 Eight hun dred years after the first feast of Christmas, church authorities used the term Christes Maessi, from which comes the English word ' Christmas This was in 1038. Ancient Yule Customs Still Lit e in England first time in the state in 1943 will receive a set of 1942 plates in addi tion to the stickers. The stickers are to be attached to the top right center of the windshield, directly behind the rear-view mirror, according to Earl Snell, secretary of state. The sticker must be soaked in wa ter 30 seconds, preferably in a warm place. It then is smoothed on the in side of the windshield with the de sign facing the front. The back of the stcker may then be pulled off, leaving the design on the glass. Care should be used in attaching the stick er and it should be allowed a reason able period to dry, it was said. j Christmas Stories Revealed by History Season’s ureetings THURSDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1942.
