The customs of the orthodox pop- ulation, very plcturcsque, stretch back into the misty past. The mornilig before Christmas the boys of the family go out to seek the Yule tree.

'

These simple, harmless folk Cana.da‘s “uncriminal criminals," were served an extra ration. Tur- key? No. just nice juicy apples. Their religion teaches killing of any living thing is contrary to the will of God. Hence the _extra apple.

December 25 is not their Christ-

mas. They are Russians or descend- ants of Russians, whose Christmas falls on January 7, in accordance with ilie Greed Orthodox Church. But they are not adhcrcnig of the Greek orthodox church. They are non-conformist peasants, members of a sect which had its orig`n in Russia in the middle of the 18th century and attained such strength by the beginning of the 19th cen- tury ihai. it was deemed advisable by glie Ruslan Government to dis- band them.

Poor “Business ”

At Reno In 1932

(Associated Press)

RENO, Nev., Dee. 26-The busi-

ness of making the unhappily wed single and happy again fell off so markedly during 1932 that Reno wondered today if, after all, there might not be some truth in the old saying about two being able to live cheaper than one.

At least that was the only con-

clusion Reno attorneys could reach as they sought an explanation of why some 1,500 fewer couples aired their domestic woes in district court here this year than dur- ing the previous 12 months;

“It was the depression that did

it," said one, who estimated that in dollars and cents local barristers did about $200,000 less business than in 1931. “Folks just found," he concluded, "that they could bet- ter afford to remain unhappily married than to be divorced."

From January 1 through Decem-

ber 23, record books showed that only 3,214 divorce complaints were filed here, whereas during 1931 exactly 4,754 couples asked the judge to sever the tie that binds.
