Not many candy shops do this; most of the canes are now made in factories and entirely by machinery. Henry and Kenneth Severson, father and son were too busy during the cane making and picture taking to answer many questions, and afterwards Potpourri wondered what the history of the popular confection might be. Monday morning the mail contained a release from the National Confectioners association, with exactly the information which we should have had for the paper the day before. But better late than never, we've been told, so here is the story as it comes from the association. Of all the candies ever created to sweeten the Christ mas season, the most ancient Yule confection is surely the candy cane, research by the National Confectioners associ ation reveals. The traditional Christmas cane got its start some 350 years ago when, In the form of a white sugar stick, it was used by harried mothers as a baby's pacifier. The straight white cane retained its rigid shape until around 1670 when the choirmaster of the Cologne cathedral in Germany bent it to his own purposes. To hold the attention of fidgety children viewing the Cathedral's lengthy nativity ceremony, the inventive choir director distributed white sugar sticks curved at the end to represent shepherd's crooks. Legend has it that the youngsters sucked their candy canes in blissful silence. From Cologne, the practice spread throughout Europe until nativity plays were always accompanied by souvenir candy crooks. Later, in northern Europe, sugar crooks, em bellished with sugar roses, were used to decorate the home at Christmas time. The candy cane was introduced to the United States in the middle of the last century by a German-Swedish immigrant of Wooster, Ohio, who decorated a spruce tree with paper ornaments and white sugar canes to entertain his American nieces and nephews. The traditional red stripe wrapped itself around the candy cane at the turn of this century. It was then that peppermint and wintergreen were added as standard fla vors. Now, 60 years later, the ancient but ever-popular candy cane Is competing with some 2,400 other varieties of mouth-watering confections Christmas stocking. Among the other candies Yule season for young and old are hard candies in all flavors and shapes, toffees and caramels, creams and fudges, jellies and gum drops, nougats, licorice, and chocolates. Grandpa came a-visiling ot us were most happy to see him. This family is a smallish one, and therefore each member is doubly important. We've written about Grandpa before, and doubtless will again. He's one of our favorite subjects. The two of us Invited Grandpa for Thanksgiving, but he failed to arrive, and for a time there was no letter. Since he is 90, or thereabouts, and lives alone, we were relieved when the expected letter arrived. "Grandpa has been sick," said Pappy, as he began to read. We expressed surprise, saying "Why Grandpa is never sickl" "That's right," replied Pappy. "He says here that the last lime he was really ill was back in 1888 when he had what was called 'la grippe.' Only now we call it the flu." O.S. School of Hope For Medford Club Members Richard Travis, past presi dent of the board of directors of the School of Hope, Med ford, spoke for the last meet ing of Medford Business and Professional Women's club.

Women's News Safety Rules for Toys Explained by Society New York - IUPD - The toy you buy with the expectation of seeing your youngster's eyes light up on Christmas morn could be the cause of their being dimmed forever. Dr. John W. Ferree, execu tive director of the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness, citing recent injur ies to youthful eyes from mis handled or unsafe toys, call ed on parents for a twin pronged campaign of judi cious toy buying and Christ mastide safety education. "Parents have a tendency to give their children toys that are too advanced for them," Dr. Ferree said, "and inept or inexperienced hand ling of the playthings leads to tragedy." He told of the three-year-old Boston girl hit in the right eye by a playmate's ar row. Also cited was the case of the Indiana boy who lost half his seeing-power when a B-B pellet, fired by an 11-year-old playmate, lodged in one eye. What is the proper age for such toys? - "There is no definite set year at which any child can be ruled old enough for a par ticular plaything," Dr. Ferree said. "Rather than by chrono logical age, parents should determine the child's ability by his emotional development and past experience. "A youngster should be mature enough to know the danger involved in a particu lar toy, and to understand Camp Fire Girl Enters Painting For Convention Joy Huntemann, a member of the Towanka Camp Fire Girls group and a student at Roosevelt school, recently re ceived a letter of apprecia tion from Miss Goldie T. Cher noff, director of the -creative arts program at the Camp Fire Girls national headquar ters in New York. Joy was one of 1,000 girls contributing paintings for ex hibit at the Camp Fire Girls National Golden Jubilee con vention in New York City in November. The paintings were display ed on the mezzanine floor of the Commodore hotel. A large collection of the paintings were shown on television in color during a Camp Fire Girls hour. Many of the paint ings will be used for maga zine covers, photo pages, and for public exhibits to cele brate the group's 50th birth day. Joy recently earned a na tional memory book award and is working on the rank of wood gatherer. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Al bert Huntemann, 2207 Capi tol avenue in Medford.

The group played Christ mas games and had a gift ex change. Next meeting of the club will be Wednesday, Decem ber 28. This will be dessert luncheon with election of of ficers to follow. What Does The Bible Say? Isaac was to be sacrificed on the hill Moriah, the ancient lo cation of Jersualem 2 Chron. 3:1. Analogous to this, Jesus was crucified on Golgotha's hill, the same locality as the type-r-John 19:17, 18. In submission to His father's will, Isaac was bound and placed upon the al tar. By so doing he portrayed the submission of Jesus to his father's will, and the surrender to the mab for crucifixion Matt. 26:39; John 18:4, 5; Isa. 53:7. On the third day, Abra ham arrived at the place for the sacrifice, and on that day in fig ure, he received his son back from the dead Heb. 11:19. In his father's purpose he was fig uratively raised from the dead. On the third day the Savior was raised from the dead. He was literally sacrificed and ac tually raised. Abraham offered a ram as a substitute for his son so that sacrifice on that occa sion turned out to be substitu tionary. The gospel fact con cerning our Lord is that in death, he was a substitute for the life of the world John 3: 16; 2 Cor. 5:14. THE CHURCH of CHRIST Third and Oak Street Central Point, Oregon completely the safe way to use it. The expert warned against buying a potentially-hazardous toy for an older child if there is a danger that a younger one can at any time get his hands on it. Other Christmas safety tips from Dr. Ferree: - Avoid sharp edges and objects that break, leaving sharp edges. -Watch out for flammable toys or costumes, mechanical toys with exposed springs or gears, or poorly - constructed playthings.
