I saw a large truck-load ofyourig

the’usual Christmas trade. It was
a pleasing tHpught to vision them

that everyone will use. cedar this
year and 'not a fir or spruce im-

country,' -This suggestion will not
.plehse the ‘merchants who each
year have the imported ones for
sale but surely there is not an ever-
green more appropriate and lovely
than our own native cedar.

“Santa Fe Trail”
Premiere
A world premiere of the motion
picture, "Santa Fe Trail," will be
held in New Mexico’s ancient capi-
tal of Santa Fe, beginning Dec. 13.
This new picture by Warner Broth-
ers covers the history of the Santa
Fe Trail from its inception until it
gave way to the railroad in the
closing decades of the nineteenth
century. Hollywood stars in the
picture include Errol Flynn, Olivia
da Havilland, Raymond Massey,
Ronald|Reagan, "Big Boy" Williams
and a host of others who will arrive
in a 17-car special train for the
premiere. During the Santa Fe
1 rail’s heyday, between 1821 and
1880, it became a glamorous route
which belonged to a day of Indian
fights, of singing cowboys, of vor-
acious bush-whackers, of gamblers,
desperadoes and fortune hunters,
