Selection of
Christmas
TreesTold
The cutting and trimming of a
Christmas tree nas always been
an anxiously awaited event in
American families every since the
Pilgrims celebrated their firstt
Christmas at Plymouth Rock
more than 300 years ago.
But vast changes in the selec-
tion of the beloved tree have oc-
cured since the days when father
and children trudged out into the
woods, axe in hand, in search of a
suitable spruce.
NOWADAYS the coming of the
Yuletide season is heralded by the
arrival of millions of Christmas
trees in cities and villages all over
the country.
More than 12,000,000 trees
are cut every year, as farmers
and foresters have turned the
business into a $2,000,000 in-
dustry.

Santa Leg-end
Old AsLdove
When you want your dreams to
come true, don't wish upon a star
-ask Santa Claus.
The legend of the generous old
man with the big bag of gifts goes
back 1600 years to Asia Minor,
when he put in an appearance to
give his fellow immortal, Cupid, a
helping hand.
AN ANCIENT nobleman with
three daughters and no money
was worried about finding three
husbands for his daughters. No
money meant no dowries, and in
those days, no dowries-no hus-
bands.
Just as papa was becoming'
frantic about their future, St.
Nick appeared one night and
tossed a bag of gold through
the window. Inside was enough
money to get a husband for the
eldest daughter. Later, Santa re-
peated the process and the two
younger daughters were mar-
ried.
Later, his legend invaded Eu-
rope. Gradually, the name of St.
Nick became connected with an-
nonymous philanthropy, and it
became customary to give presents
on the anniversary of his death.
People began to call St. Nicholas
by the affectionate nickname of
"Santa Claus."
In answer to the 'frequently
asked question of whether the
cutting of these trees is a serious
threat to our National Conserva-
tion Program, Prof.,L. J. Young
of the School of Forestry and
Conservation said, "The answer
is not a direct yes or no, but de-
pends on the conditions. Much
damage results in the northwoods
when indiscriminate cutting takes
place over large areas and clears
out trees valuable for pulpwood."
"IN SOME AREAS, however,
trees of little ' other commercial
importance are out to produce a
revenue which would not other-
wise result," he added.
In some cases, the thinning of
the scrub forests stimulates the
growth of the larger trees.
In past years the majority of
the holiday pines have come
from the forests of the New
England states, the North Cen-
tral states and the Far West.
Recently, however, there have
been increasingly large ship-
ments from the South as plan-
tation owners have found it a
profitable way to utilize their
worn out lands.
New England conservation
authorities report that a quaran-
tine on the shipment of Christ-
mas trees from that area is being
enforced this year, in an attempt
to prevent the spread of the Gyp-
sy Moth.
Something special for Mother's
Christmas present is a cut and
polished pair of glass hurricane
lamps, which are lighted by cand-
les and topped with delicately-dec-
orated globes.
