Saint Nicholas
Was Bishop of Myra

St. Nicholas lived some 1600
years ago in Turkey where he
was for 17 years Bishop of Myra.
Today,- the place is known as
Demre, province of Antalya—
where his church may still be
found and one may yet hear of
the generous acts which gave
him the ‘Santa Claus’ character
we all know today.

It is said that Saint Nicholas,
a man of great virtue and piety
became the patron saint of the
sons of a rich Asiatic, who had
been murdered by a robber-inn-
keeper while they were enroute
to school at Athens. It is said
that he was warned of the
crime in a dream, but was un-
able to reach them in time to
prevent the murders. He restor-
ed the boys to lite through pray-
er and the murderer confessed
his crime.

Let's face it— there are no easy New Year resolutions

With each new year, man makes all kinds of promises
tohimself and to others. And, each year these same prom-
ises and resolutions fall by the wayside even before the
NEW wears off the incoming year.
* There is no easy resolution, for no resolution is worth
the making unless it corrects a fault or curbs a bad habit.
Something must be sacrificed if a resolution is to be worth-
while.

The chief reason most resolutions are never kept is be-
cause they were impractical to begin with. This year, 1955,
we might all resolve that we will make no foolish resolu-
tions that we shall not be able to keep.

With the world situation being what it is at the present.
time, we might all do well to settle on one single resolution
—the will to work together for the achievement of world
peace. If we do this, and each live up to our individual
responsibilities in regard to the achievement of such a
high ideal, no other resolutions will be required.

of such evergreens,

cones.

These simple decorations are
readily available to most every-
one at no cost and to use an old
axpression: “The woods are full
of-them.”
A trip into the country to ga-
ther them can also be turned in-
to a pleasant excursion for the
whole family and a brief rest
period from the “getting ready”
for Christmas company parties
and holiday affairs.

One word of caution, how-
ever: Don’t kill trees or bushes.
Prune carefully when selecting
your evergreens.

The Christmas tree—whether
large or small—should be the
centre of the decorations. Place
your tree in front of a windows}
so that its bright cheerful glow
ean be seen from within and
without. Decorate the tree with

your front door—these signify
to many who pass your home
that you are celebrating this
joyous season,

A rope of evergreens requires
approximately four or five yards
of rope. The place you plan to
use it will determine the exact
length. Next, you'll need several
short lengths of wire, short
sprays of evergreen, balls, bows,
red berries or bells. Place a
bunch of evergreens against the
rope and fasten in place with the
wire; repeat until the rope has
been completely covered. The
rope may be draped over the
door frame, mantels or along the
stair rail. Pick out other spots
where additional decorations,
like berries, balls or bells will
add to the effectiveness of over-
all appearance.
