Tho ancestors of Prrslclent

By LOIS STEWART
Lucky Kluiiiuth folks when It
comes to Uucorutlona for the
home during tho Chrlstmus and
New Year holidays. And the
greem which they find, prac
tically on their own dour ittcpn,
are tho tradlllonul green which
tho lover of tho old fualiloucd
holiday decoratlona finda heud
and ahouldcra abovo any other
klndl
All you need In tlila part of tho
world la a llttlo gusollno In tho
car, aomo old clothoa and the
thrill that coinea from prowling
through tho wooda after bougha,
conea, Juniper and Oregon grape.
STYLES DIFFER
Some people Uucorato the
wholo houae. Some aimply Ilium
o wreath on tho front porch, put
up tho treo, and let It go ut thut.
Hut thla atury has to do with thut
school of decorntora who enjoy
turning tho houae upside down
with grocna Inside und out.
A bit of heavy wire Is needed
to mako the gurlunds of fir
which often decoroto tho door
way entrance, and thla treiitnicnt,
coupled with airing of electric
lights, makes a moat effective
greeting for your guesU as they
knock on a door, the window
glaaa gleaming clear, and a
wreath of holly in the centor.
Klamath's mountain do not
yield the old English holly, heav
ily laden with berrlca, but In our
own hllla thore la a beautiful
Oregon grape, an evergreen bar
berry berberl aqulfollum to
the probera which can be found
In excellent condition thla time
of the year. Now Oregon grape,
especially the small shoots of
brilliant reds and greens, la mar
velous for Chrlatmna wreaths.
Uut If you use this for your
wreaths, don't keep them Indoors
as tho Oregon grape has a habit
of dying quickly and curling.
Tho grape loaded with bluo
blsck berries makes an attract
ive wreath, too.
CONES HANDY
Another particularly effective
combination to put Into wrraths
is Juniper and cedar. Cedar
grows profusely In this country
and although It takes practically
a wholo carload for two small
wreaths. Is well worth the
trouble. Our favorite Is the type
loaded with tho small white flat
berries. When you get through
working with a wreath of cedar,
the floor will look like you've
spilled a box of rochel powder
all over tho plnco, but it's Just
the pollen and won't hurt a
thing.
Also attractive and easy to
find In this aectlon are cones,
big Ponderosa pine conea which
come with huge green needles,
or the smaller pine cones In clus
ters. Tied with a hugo red or
green ribbon, or a bow of cop
per screening, this Is as pretty a
thing as comes from the woods.
The big sugar pine cones
(lucky If you get very many)
are products of tho Oregon
woods and highly prized on the
east coast as well as the middle
west. These cones fall ot this
time of year only If a high wind
or a busy squirrel takes them
from the branches. Otherwise
they are available If you can
get In a "cutting" where the
loggers have laid low the
branch of the mighty pine. Three
of these huge cones caught with
a bright bow, miikc the cheeriest
of door decorations.
Incidentally, If you want to
moke eastern relatives happy,
send a box of greens to ttfcm,
sufficiently early to give them a
chance to enjoy them for a few
weeks. Lots of people take down
the decorations tho day after
Christmas. We come from the
"take the tree down New Year's
day" tribe.
TRADITIONAL THEE
Going Inside the house there
Is, of course, the Christmas tree,
for which there Is no substitute.
We know some people who came
here from the dust bowl. With
them enmo a small green paper
tree, a guy Utile thing they had
used for years. But hero they
came Into this country, rich with
evergreens, Shasta firs, lovely
trees of all sizes and shapes.
They wore bcsldo themselves
Kinully they settled on a shapely
llttlo fir, and for three weeks
It graced their living room. They
took It down with much sorrow
and almost a fear In their hearts
thnt never again would they find
a tree so lovely and so gay.
This year tho slores seem to
have outdnno themselves with
ciitullrs. All aorta of randies,
candles like nngels, candles like
rholr boys, candles like SnnUj
Clauses, and candles well, like
candles. Hest of all, to the mind
that likes tho old, ore tall, slim
white candles, fat "plumber's"
candles of red which send off
a great deal of light, or the love
ly soft leaf green candles which
are very pretty rising from a
ring of greenery and a bright
red bow.
MANTEL TABLEAUS
Mantels may be trimmed for
next to nothing. Favorite Is the
use of pine cones and candles,
but lovely Is the mantle on
which glows from subdued lights
the scene of the nativity. Maybe
when the little fellows in the
futility are a bit older and can
admire without the loving pat
given the animals and shepherds
so that they fall over In a heap,
this scene can be laid about the
base of Ihe tree. The local dime
stores have lovely angels in pale
pink and blue, shepherds, the
Holy Family und the stable.
Christmas tree ornaments this
year are definitely "made In
America." since we have turned
up our noses at Japanese and
Cierman made wares. Hut it is
with sincere regret that many of
the lovely things made by Ger
man craftsmen, such as "flying
angels," birds with gossamer
wings and other tree trinkets
aren't available. American fac
tories are turning out Interesting
baubles, however, and they are
reasonably priced. Our tasto runs
to the old fashioned green tree
with everything In the house
glistening from It. If you prefer
the sprayed silver, blue, or red
affulrs. that's up to you and we
haven't nnv suggestions.
FOR THE TABLE
Table decorations are so vari
ed that never will you find two
tables alike. However, as long as
wo are stressing Klamath grown
products, we might offer this
around a mirror place a wreath
of cedar, pine, or fir, depending
on tho size of tho table and
mirror. At various points lay
very small red, green, blue and
silver Christmas tree balls, or
for dinner, use real small fruits,
oiled with olive oil to bring out
the color. Small red peppers and
limes are alwnys good. So arc
some of the lowly vegetables like
onions, garlic, and brusscl
sprouts, just look around, and
you'll find plenty.
Juniper trees are simply laden
with blue berries. The pungent
odor of Juniper is offensive to
some but there s some that
likes It." Juniper responds nice
ly for garlands, wrenths. clusters
to tuck In packages and In many
muny woys.
WRAPPING IDEAS
A quick glance at Klamath's
stores puts the average package
wrapper In a dither. A surrcs
tlon, however, wrap In deep
green or brown cellophane. Tie
with contrasting ribbon and tuck
a cluster of pine cones and
needles under tho bow. You'll
be surprised at the pleasure this
package gives, especially when
sent to a part of tho world where
pine cones are a treat. Some
people we know are tucking
hand made corsages of pine
needles, Incense cedar pods, and
cones, to be worn for a long
