Are you planning to retire
soon? If you ere. one of your
first questions will probably be,
"What must I do to receive social
security benefits?"
According to Gus Jones, district
manager of social security in
Sherman, an early Inquiry can
speed delivery of the first social
security check. A worker can
file a claim for benefits up to
three months before his retirement
date. This advance filing will all-
ow you the time to get the Infor-
mation and the evidence necessary
to establish entitlement before the
first check is due.
If you are a wage earner or sa-
laried person, you should bring a
record of your 1962 earnings, such
as the withholdings tax statement,
Form W-2, given you .by your em-
ployer.
If you are self-employed per-
son, it win be necessary for you
to submit a copy of your 1962
Federal Income Tax Return and
evidence that the tax has been
paid to the Internal Revenue Ser-
vice.
You should have on hand a fig-
ure for the total amount of your
wages or self-employment net in-
come received to date in 1963, and
also be prepared to furnish an es-
timate of the total earnings you
expect to have in the entire yEkr.
You should also bring proof of
age for yourself and for any de-
pendents who are eligible for bene-
fits. While a birth certificate or
baptismal certificate made at or
near the time of birth is prefer-
able, many other types of evid-
ence may be accepted. However, it
is not necessary to delay filing a
claim solely because evidence of
age is not readily available.
Last, but not least! (Bring your
social security card with you!
Jones stressed that, for prompt
payment of your first social se
curlty check, you should INQUIRE
BEFORE YOU RETIRE.
Your local social security office
is located at 315 W. Mulberry
Sherman, Texas.
If you live In the Bonham area,
you may contact the representat-

peratives, Inc., Bonham, 9:30 a.

Most Christmas
Traditions Have
Ancestry
are children of
end l^e two
most popular Christinas customs
- Santa Claus and the Christmas
tree—may have the strangest
heritage of them all.
pm? it pome as a surprise that
ttw lighted tree if «®gr*ly Chris-
tian in origin while the jolly fig-
ure sometmes called St. Nick was
bomTM» iwmikttt
True, the tm «mte Claus is
derived frpm #t. Nicholas - or
Sinter Klass, as the Dutch called
him. But the saint and the elf have
wetMng tB wimt^nn except the
name.
This is how they came to be
joined in Christmas lore:
For years the feast of St. Nich-
olas, Dec. 6, was observed in Eu-
rope by giving gifts to children.
He Is their patron saint, and the
custom still is practiced in some
European countries.
Few historical facts are known
about the saint. He was bishop
of Myra in A9sia Minor and died
about the year 350. He was an
orphan, and a generally accepted
legend Is he often helped poor
children by slipping coins through
their windows at night.
Dutch immigrants to America
brought the traditional Dec. 5
“v“l.t from St. Nicholas" to their
colony of New Amsterdam. T^ey
clung to the custom even aft-
ormation.
Later, when tfie English found-
ed the colony of New York hi the
fame territory, their children
liked the idea of a nocturnal vis-
itor coming to their homes, too.
feut the Idea of a bishop was
disagreeable to the New Yorkers,
many of whom were Presbyter-
ians. 'A'iso, they did not celebrate
leasts of saints.
ftotLU.ORfc
In ihe withered pages of Ger-
manic folklore, fahufar to these
Anglo-Saxons, was the pagan god
Thor.
H.e was the god of the peasants;
an elderly, jovial man with a long
white beard. His color was red,
his element wag fire, and the
hearth was sacred to him. On the
Occasions when he left his home
among the icebergs of the North-
land, he frequently would come
down chimneys into his element.
He rode in a chariot pulled by
Gnasher.
Exchanging gifts at Christmas
was traditional with the English-
Americans, and ft was not sur-
prising the jolly old elk now fam-
iliar to us all, should emerge as
the new delivery boy.
AMERICAN
Santa Claus is slrickly an Am-
erican citizen.
The source for tfcjfe Christmas
lore Is the Rev. Fraafcls X. Wei-
ser, S. J., of Weston College, Mass.
He is one of the nation’s fore-
most authorities on the subject,
and also gives the derivation' of
the Christmas tree.
In medival days a favorite pre-
Christmas pageant was the “Par-
adise Play," depicting the fall of wd mynh, a WUe shepherdess,
Adam and Eve, the promise of watching from afar, wept because
a Savior and tl? ewming torty of
Christ..
A fir tree hung with apples re-
presented the Garden of Eden, and
the symbol soon found its, way In-
to homes on the feast day of Adam
and Eve, Dec. 24.
PYRAMID
Germans also had the custom
of erecting in their homes during
Advent a candle-bedecked wooden
pyramid topped by a star, signi-
fying the ‘night of the world"
which shone from the stable at
Bethlehem.
During the 16th century they
began combining the two symbols,
usually adding beneath the tree
the Christmas crib which former-
ly stood At,, the foot of the pyra-
mid. 1
Trees began appearing In
American homes after the first
big wave of German immigrants
In about 1700.

. The Christinas Rose, a winter
blooming plant which has been
known to flower to the snow, has
an interesting and heartwarming
legend associated with it.
According to an old lpgeqd, f»
the Ttore* Wise ‘
their gifts of gold,
she had no gift to offer th*Cfcrift
Child.
As her tears fen to the ground
flowers sprang up, says thi'*leg-
end, which the child gathered and
hastened to bring to the Infant
Jesus. While kneeling at the curb,
so Jesus could see the flowers.
His hands touched the petals and
a delicate pink appeared on the
flowers,.
And so, a flower that had never
bloomed before came into exis-
tence — the Christmas Rose.
Irish peasants depended almost
entirely on the potato far food
to the first half at the -19th cen-
tury.
