And a few flowers around the house also might help. The oldest authority- on the. flower busines here abouts is the former .mayor Harman :cnoi 0f "H street Zachariah Deminien Blackstone, - aged 82, has been putting flow ers in pretty bundles for more than 60 years. . His specialty always has been the poinsettia. i "In the old days, we sold them for $1.50 a big bundle, and the night before Christmas for a lot less." the' old man told me. "To day, we get $4 for a small pot ful." Bubs His Hands When I called on Blackstone he had on a blue half-apron and had his wrinkled little hands in a pot-iWhich.was for,sale.iv; "We were not . producers in the old days," he said, rubbing the good earth off his hands. "We were growers. If we had 500 plants in the hothouse, we considered we were coming up to a good season. Today, a grow er who doesn't have a few thousand plants laying around some, place where he can get at em ain't a big operator."

Like toothpicks or atom bombs. Everything, the old-timer said, is on a time table. He and the other florists send buyers to the West coast early to buy stalk plants. Modern Nonsense ' "It's time table stuff," he said "The cuttings are brought along 1Xf- that ' Vno etc? . 4 V"ii rrV temperature, tender care, and other nonsense we never used to think about over half a cen tury ago. It is something like an assembly line. One plant needs a vitamin, so he gets one. Another is a little too far along so he gets a sedative." So far as table decorations are concerned, Blackstone thinks that anything is all right so long as the things smell and act like flowers. The old man would like to borrow something from the. an cient New Year Scandinavian lore. That of the seven caridles burning within a ring of ever greens on the festive board. He thinks that would be good for Christmas, too. CENTURY FUND -' Dallas, Tex. (U.P.) : The city of Dallas stands to benefit every century from the will of the late Hale Davis.

By UNITED PRESS Old Man Winter made his of fical arrival in the nation today and brought along some sur prises. In Wyoming and Montana, where residents are often dig ging out of snow storms at this time of year, the temperatures were higher than they were in most of Florida. Women in Miami put on fur jackets to do their Christmas shopping. But at mile-high Den ver the weather .was so mild shoppers were going around in jackets. Cold in New York New York City, where the weather generally isn't too se vere, was one of the chilliest places in the. nation. The" tem perature was expected to go to 10 or five degrees above zero today. New England, however, main' tained its wintry traditions with a snow storm that cancelled air traffic at Boston and piled up to 16 inches of snow at Ports mouth, N.H. In Europe, winter opened with hurricane winds and floods in the north and snow, rain and blinding fog in the south. Eight deaths were blamed on the weather. .Meanwhile a Mexican cold wave accounted for 17 deaths. Year's Shortest Day Winter began officially at 1:25 a.m. (PST). At that momeitt the sun reached the most southerly point of its sweep south of the equator between the east coast of Africa and the southern part of the island of Madagascar. It. was the shortest day of the year and the sun's warming rays slanted across --the- northern hemisphere at their flattest an gle. Actually, however, the sun was 3,000,000 miles closer to the earth than it is in summer. Despite the freakish ' weather on winter's first day, the U.S. Weather Bureau hazarded" a pre diction that most of the north east quarter of the nation will have a white Christmas.
