brought the custom of using a
decorated and lighted tree at
Yuletide to England in 1841. The
custom spread to America soon
after. Thus, for more than a cen
tury, the tree has been the sym

speaking countries.
Candles have been used since
many thousands of years before
Christ in the ceremonies of
Pagan festivals, the speaker
(aid. Later this custom was ab
sorbed into the Christian yule

mince pie Is likewise symbolical
of the spices borne by the wise
men to Bethlehem when the
Christ child was born. '
Other Interesting legends of

and the eating of apples and
cherries at Christmas time were
recalled by Major Jaeger.

TO BE CURTAILED
Washington, Dec. 30 (U.FD
Petroleum Administrator Harold
L. Ickes today prohibited use of
credit cards at gasoline stations
after Jan. 1, except where only
one retail outlet is involved.
It was provided, however, that
credit cards already issued to
motor vehicles with "T" ration
stickers or operated by govern
mental agencies can be honored
until Feb. 1.
The move was made to enable
marketers to reduce costs of
bookkeeping and personnel.
An oil company official here
Interpreted the foregoing dis
patch as meaning that after
Jan. 1 credit cards could not be
used in so-called "chain" stations
operated by companies, but that
privately-owned stations would
be able to issue some sort of a
credit card to enable customers
to obtain gasoline on credit.
Local oilmen said they had
not yet received instructions
from their head offices concern
ing the coming ban on the use of
credit cards.

FOR VICTORY

was enjoyed last Sunday eve
ning at the Outpost. Soldiers and
hostesses revived the schottlsche,
Virginia reel 'and other old
dances and after a gay evening
had refreshments at the "chuck-
wagon." Music was furnished
by Mrs. Eve Prentice's accordion
band.
A group of service men who
regularly make the Outpost
their recreation headquarters
have practically taken over the
"chuck-wagon," hostesses state.
The boys, many of whom are ex

own hamburgers and such and

what they want After using the
canteen they are very careful
to make it neat as the proverbial
pin, even taking the trouble to
put fresh paper on the shelves
before leaving to return to camp.
VICTORY TAX DATE

The first American-made Diesel engine was built to create more and better power for
the brewing of Budweiser. Adolphus Busch, founder of Anheuser-Busch, acquired
the first rights to manufacture this revolutionary engine in America and thus started
our great Diesel Industry on its way. ; -
He 'also founded Busch-Sulzer Bros. -Diesel Engine Company which made subma
rine engines In World War I, and today holds the Navy E Award for excellence in the
production of Navy ordnance and Diesel engines essential to the war effort.
Year after year, we have striven with research and resources to better the methods
and facilities for brewing Budweiser. To do this, a laboratory specializing in ferment
ology and nutrition was necessary. Discoveries made in the laboratory and in the
plant have led to the development of products contributing to human necessity and
progress. Some of these products would appear to have only a remote relationship to
brewing, yet, they are the result of scientific research into many allied fields.
Endless research In making the world's leading beer
