good weeks out of your poinsettias if you bear in mind these tips keep the plant in a bright sun ny location avoid drafts or hot- air registers poinsettias need steady temperatures water as soon as the soil appears dry temperature is the important factor if a day temperature of about 70 degrees f and a night temperature of 60 to 63 degrees f are maintained your plants will thrive through and for some time after christmas if the lower leaves turn yel low wilt and drop blame dry soil and a sudden temperature change if the plant is stunted with yellowing of the top leaves a nitrogen deficiency is probably the cause after the plarvts are established its a good idea to feed them every 2 weeks with a complete fertilizer dont let poinsettias have any electric light after the first of september

bible says god so loved the world that he gave his only son as we prepare to celebrate an other christmas how many of us remember these words or are our thourhts too completely oc cupied with a present for uncle john and aint susie with the preparation of lavish and expen sive decorations with the table ettinrs for a sumptuous feast god did so love the world that he rave us his son that he gave us this day that we call christmas this he gave us rothins more he did not supply the traditions he spoke not of holly and mistletoe ncr of food ard feasting the many things that have come to b associated with toe observance of christmas by all too many people have been added through the centuries the sad pari of it all is that some have become so fascinated by all the embellishments that they have lost sight of the true meaning of christmas christs birthday the day on which christ was born the day of the redeemer a holy day a spiritual day let us jcocp our bright christ mas trees the colored lights and deck the halls with boughs of holly let us set a tabic that would please the palate of a king but with it all let us find the time to ecarch hopefully for the joy and peace that was

is a santa claus this famous editorial reply to the pleading almost tearful in quiry vt a young girl is there really a santa claus is repeated year attcr year and probably will be a thousand years from now there is indeed a santa claus and he is real as real as we can capect him to be and he con tinues to exist because there is real need for him we can argue most of us argue that christ mas is too commercial the send ing of christmas cards to every body in toan is grossly overdone there is too much emphasis on giftgiving and receiving ah of these things may well b true but we dont see how any one am rightly complain about santa claus he belongs to tho very young to the unspoiled th hopeful he gives some meaning and purpose albeit not completely understood to those too- young to comprehend the true meaning and purpose of christmas and in all fairness it must be said that only the deep religious significance of this great holiday is more rewarding to so many than dear old santa as the new york sun editorial v aptly said a thousand year from now virginia nay tet times ten i years from now he will continue to rnafc glad the heart of dumboofl
