The Goose Hangs High Al Christmas Time!

By IDA BAILEY ALLEN

In former days, "the goose hangs high" was a phrase denoting the Christrnns festivities. !'odsy.the goose waits in the food lraeaer, all ready, without fuss or feathers. to be roasted in a heat- uontmlled oven.

so more families are going to en- Ioy this festive bird every year.

Iow It Started

It all started with Deane Stali- mI.nn of Texas,a big cotton and pecan planted with I passion for research. He discovered that the fnvorite diet for geese is made up of the weeds and grasses that bother the average Southern cotton farmer.

Deane had a sudden flash:

"Raise geese to run in the cot- ton fields and eat up the weeds. and there will be a double crop to sell--one of cotton and one of goose-at lc.-ts expense for both grower and consumer!"

The idea paid off. Southwestern farmers have raised and frozen thousands of geese. headed nation- wide for the Christmas dinner table.

the happiest time of the year for every family. Yet frequently this gay season turns into tragedy for many of them.

Now. I don't want to dampen )our holiday r-ntliusiasm and I doubt that I could, but I think a few.words of caution are in order.

Chriatmls Tree Instructions

Every year about this time you are warned by newspallef 51915155 on what and what not to do with your Christmas tree. Let me re- peat a few of these Instructions again.

Place the tree in a corner of the room where frolicking children are not likely to bump into it. Place it. in a firm stand containing water. and fasten the tree to the wall with I wire.

Check the Wiring

Check the electric wiring for the tree lights, and don't try to patch up a frayed wire with tape. Get. a new string of lights. They dont cost much.

If you spray your tree. don't use a spray that is highly flammable. Have a bucket of sand handy too. just in case.

If Someone Is Burned

T)FSpll,8 all these precaiitions. someone in your family may get burned. It may not be as serious as being burned by a blazing tree; it may only be a burned finger from an anxious peek at a roasting tur- kev.

In any event. I'll tell you in de- tail tomorrow what you can do to aid someone who is burned.

Unbreakable Ornaments

unbreakable

ornament should fall and break

they knocked it down. This could mean it nasty out that would at least momentarily spoil the holi- days for you.

Wslch Your Visitors!

One more thing. Be careful of visiting friends who obviously have colds. They may be spreading more than Christmas cheer. Caution them against hugging and kissing the children.

As you see. there's a lot you can do to insure. a happy. healthful holl- day for your family. To give just a little thought to these simple mat- ters wlll save many heartaches.

QUESTION AND ANSWER.

Mrs. M. L: What. is the cause of burning of the tongue?

Answer: Burning of the tongue is usually rluo to infection. Some- times It. occurs in individuals be- tween 40 and 60 years old. The ex- act cause for this IYPC of trouble is not. known.

An examination of the mouth and nose by a physician should be made to see just what ulsorders may be. Then the proper treatment for the condition can be given.

everyvvhere in Europe and was lin- porled into America from there as well as the Orient. and much was written about it in those days. Since then many new varieties have originated in all couutrieg so that we have lovely flowers to choose from in different colors. Almost daily now a new variety becomes available. They are worth growing for their rich. glossy foliage alone; added to this there are the gorgeous flowers. two to six inches in diameter and beauti- ful in form. ,

Camelias are very much worth while if you have a cool, well- lighted place to grow them In win- fer. They do not need as much suruhine as some house plants. they need to be kept moist but not wet. p

In summer they do well out- doors in la shady pldce and when repotting they need an acid soil

The Camellia is the tea plant and it is interesting to know that more wild forms are found in China than in any other region. Reading the history of this plant tells us that In 1745 Lord Pelre of Essex England had Ciimellias growing In his greenhouse. In IROO they were brought to this contin- ent and large numbers grown for the trade.

Take Steps To Prevent iwrjwprm Yulencle Tragedies A COUNTRY GARDEN

The Christmas holidays should be Sing again the Christmas carols dcns all through the southern

States and visitors to these lovely gardens in Charleston and Florida have told me about them. There is a large collection in Sacramento, California, on the capital grounds. and here and there plantings for scientific study have been start- ed. In various cities and towns of the south and west. Camellia shows of outstanding interest and beauty are held in winter and draw large crovi'ds of people,

Garden makers, in those areas

where Camellias may be grown outdoors. have available plant mi- terial of unsurpassed value. In our country we can grow them indoors and enjoy their loveliness. l The world of flowers is a world of its own --- so rich. so varied and so limillcss that it is diffi- cult to express in mere words the full meaning of all that it. can- jures up. In the dim and distant past. long before the printing press, the magic of flowers was recorded on the walls of temples and private dwellings. and on dec- orative obyecls as well.

That passion for expression has persisted and. in the centuries that followed. the skill of men. re- flcclcd in a more realistic way. began to I?” the story of the marvelous appeal of flowers their beauty of form. their texture and their color and the ways In which they could be utilized for decoration.

In every age. artists with the creative urge have endeavored to cxpress this deeply rooted emotion in a new way. While the store- house of tradition is unlimited in its example for inspiration, it is always the individual taste of the creatorlthat we enjoy particularly. This mark gives personality to a work of art -be it a picture, a carving or a garden.

As makers of gardens and grow-

us are privileged to create forms of art that vibrate with color and life.

Unlike the artist who may relay on a palette of mere pigments PLUS OIL or water and canvas or paper. we have the living roots. the stems, the foliage, the flow- ers and the fruits as our pigments and the earth around us as our canvas. What manner of picture we paint is ours to make as we choose in all the fullness of three dimensions.

Even more to be treasured is that personal touch which .springs from our imaginationsnd experi- ence. .

How rich and multltudinous are the blessings of gardeners'. How infinite and unlimited are our op- portunities to spell out the infinite beauty of flowers. Thus. we look back over the cycle of seasons he- hind us to ask how well we have stood up to the challenge that was our. Likewise we look forward to another year full of eternal hope and promise in our world of flow- ers.

and all are asking me for dates. And when one learns that I have a date with another boy on a fol- lowing evening, he gets angry, as if I were "betraying" his love. even though we aren't going steady. Then he drops me. Around here you practically have to go steady; I mean it's just the thing to do. But each boy thinks he hasn't a chance with me; so he begins to ignore me. or to make cynical remarks before groups, who go along with him to embarrass me. In these circumstances. I jump around in the field of dates. as first they like me and then they hate me-and it looks silly. I stand well with the girls. not running ai'l,.ind with any particular group. but with many. But I am mixed up and losing friends. be- cause I don't know how to manage the dating problem. Please. please help me soon.
