Last Sunday we ran a page of pictures showing how
Severson's of Medford make Christmas candy canes. 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.

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

Joy Huntemann, a member

Girls group and a student at
Roosevelt school, recently re
ceived a letter of apprecia
tion from Miss Goldie T. Cher

arts program at the Camp
Fire Girls national headquar

Joy was one of 1,000 girls

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.

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.
