the important ones, as
well.
This is the Christmas to
really show those you love
that you do love them, in
important, little ways . . ~.
and in large ways, too. It
is so human to take care of
the vital, “large” ways,
and overlook the small,
also vital ways! This is the
year to do something
about that.

I think that the Day Light
Savings Law was a foolish law
to start with. It was meant to
give workers time after their
day at their regular job. to raise
a garden but I doubt if theo*
was one extra vegetable raised
on account of the law. Any one
wanting to raise a garden would
have raised it any way. When it
comes to saving fuel oil it will„
take more than instead of less.
It is colder in the morning than
any other time of day so getting
up an hour earlier will take extra
fuel for one hour as most homes
are not centraly heated and
often use no heat except in the
morning.

How to Re-Use
Gift Boxes, Cans
Don’t be too quick to
throw out those good boxes
or cartons that hold your
family’s Christmas gifts —
you can make them Into
handsome containers for
everything from hair roll-
ers to sewing materials, not
forgetting the canisters and
cookie tins you can make
out of those plastic-lidded
coffee cans!
Cover your boxes and cof-
fee cans with self-adhesive
plastic, decorate them with
braid or tape, and label
them with cut-out letters.
It’s easy to do with self
stick plastic — just make
sure surface of box or tin Is
clean and dry. Then cut
your plastic to fit, allowing
for an overlap at seams or
edges, and press It down
smoothly. Or you. can use
fahrlc or gift paper, which
you’ll have to glue on.
It’s a great way to ‘‘re-
cycle" your boxes and earns *
— and you’ll have attractive
containers for all sorts of
things, in kitcheta bath-
room. or at desk or phone.
A Kris Kringle is not a
German term for Santa
Claus. The name is a modi-
fication of “Kriatkind,”
who according to German
legend, is the Infant Jesus.
Realism Reflected at
Christ’s Birthplace
In the Middle East,
where Christ lived, Christ-
mas has a touch of real-
ism. The patriarch comes
from Jerusalem with a
troop of cavalry in gorge-
ous array. The service
lasts from 10 p.m. until
long after midnight.
After the reading of the
gospel the clergy and con-
gregation leave the church
and journey to the Grotto
of the Nativity.
industry cannot raise the pn<*
of gasoline as it has to say how
much each person can buy.
believe the government should
tell the oil companies to supply
the farmer first as I noticed a
department official predicted a
food shortage, then supply
Industry next, theo if it wanted
to discourage use by taxing, Ua
all except that to the farmer and
that used in industry. I am
opposed to rationing as I think
it lakes more than not during
the last world war everyone got
all the gas they needed and it
took extra gas to go to the town
and back to get your ration.
Some people had to drive 25 or
30 miles to get their ration.
