THE SCHULENBURG STICKER—Schulenburg, Fayette Co., Texas
Friday, December 26, 1952
THIS MAY BE the post office'*
biggest Christmas. The post-
master general estimates that
more Christmas mail—packages
and cards—will be handled in 1032
than in any previous year. With
this i> mind, the post office de-
partment has hired extra employ-
ees and arranged for use of extra
trucks for the holiday period.
The post office is Santa Claus'
good right arm. It delivers gifts
and greetings throughout the
world, and it will do its best to
get them there by December 25—if
they are mailed on time.
Much Christmas mail going ov-
erseas is handled in cooperation
with the postal systems of other
nations. But in the United States
and its possessions, in U. S.-
trusteed Islands in the Pacific and
among U. S. servicemen in all
parts of the world, delivery of
holiday greetings is strictly a
! United States affair.
The army takes over, through its
army post office, for troops serv-
ing outside the United States, be
they in Germany, Korea, or some-
where on the way.
1 Best known special Christmas
business done by any post office
is that of Santa Claus, Indiana.

Christmas Rose
Enhances Yule's
Festival Mood
A MERICANS usually decorate
their homes at Christmas time
with holly, evergreens, or hot-
house plants. Recently, however,
they have found a new friend in
the Christmas-rose. Nurserymen
say this plant's popularity has
skyrocketed in the last few years.
The Christmas-rose is not really
a rose at all but belongs to the
crowfoot family. It is a small plant
no more than a foot high when
jmature. Nevertheless, it can put
forth seven or eight small white
roselike blooms tinged with pink.
Called by botanists Helleborus
niger or black hellebore, it gets
this name from its black stalks.
(The Christmas-rose is no freak,
ao super-precocipus flower or
early-blooming plant. This ligiti-
jnate child of winter flowers nat-
urally in December or January. It
Withstands snow and low tempera-
tures, demanding only some sort
of shelter from the snow,
j Helleborus niger does not propa-
gate well in the United States.
! Hence, most of the tiny plants are
! imported from Belgium and the
Netherlands. They develop best
only in the western part of those
countries where they thrive in soil
.peculiar to thp region.

e Christmas-rose and eager!:

a greater toll than in Korea. Yet
few of us do anything about it.
Hindsight isn't foresight—by a
damsight.
