SEASON’S GREETINGS
■wi
At this time of the year, as on no other occasion, 1
um privileged to give expression to my thoughts
concerning those whoso friendship and good will I
cherish.
The United States ha-s more than
160 municipal police radio stations,
34 state police radio stations, and
34 state police radio services in op- I
eratlon.
if two foemen met underneath mis-
tletoe, they dropped their arms and
embraced hence the modem prac-
tice of kissing under the mistletoe.
The Christmas tree ia entirely
Germanic in origin and first made
its appearance at Strasburg in 1006
It was not until IMO that the Prin-
cess of Meckienberg Introduced it
in England to became Immediately
a Christmas fixture
But one little known fact is that
Um- Christinas tree was a current
Christmas fixture in America before
it was In England because immi-
grants to this country from the
Black Forest brought the Idea with
them. Immigrants also Introduced
the story of Kris Kringle—a vul-
garisation of the German words
Christ Kindleln (the little Christ
child).
Where did Christmas presents
originate? The Germans are totally
responsible for the origination of
Santa Claus though some profess
to see again seme analogy between
gift-giving and the rich bestowal
of gifts peculiar to the Roman
Saturnalia.

brought from Prance to New Or-
leans
Before it was Introduced in this
country, the Italians were using
colored fire on December 26 and
there is abundant evidence that
the Spaniards ateo indulged in ear-
ly pyrotechnics.
In the southern states, fireworks
remain a Ctiristmas "must" noU.
withstanding the fact that many
cities and towns have enacted pro-
hibitive ordinances because in so
many Instances Christmas joy was
turned to Christmas grief in killings
and malmlngs.
lite paganistlc motif bobs up
again in the burning of the Yule
Log which is certainly tied in in-
extricably with Christmas but
which can be traced beck io the
word Jul and the Goths’ festival
commemorating the winter solstice
Mistletoe is another Christmas
custom which goes beck to the
white robed Druids who revered it.
They always cut it with a golden
blade because they considered it a
symbol of peace. In the early ages
