Virtue in Toys Here listed are the virtues of a good toy as described by experts in kin dergarten training at the National College of Education at Evanston, 111,: The successful plaything is dur able. Flimsy toys make children careless and destructive. It stimulates its owner’s imagina tion and encourages him to dramat ic play. Although it is not bunglesome or awkward, the well-designed toy is large and simple enough not to cause eye and muscle strain. It is easy to keep clean. It is sa{p. It does not have splin tery edges or rims of sharp tin. Up to the minute play materials are not static, nor do they merely provide entertainment. Every child has two types of toys —those which stimulate individual play and those which encourage him to group activity. Make Face Mask of Santa Any bright boy or girl can make a large face mask of Santa Claus from heavy wrapping paper and wa ter color paints. The mask should be cut from a sheet of wrapping paper, about 18 by 24 inches. Sketch or trace the features with a pencil, then color with water color paints. Red should be used for the hat, white for the whiskers, blue for the eyes, and pink for the cheeks. Out line these colors with black lines, and the mask is finished. JUST THANKS f '*'■ ' - . , \y “Being a husband on Christmas reminds me of Thanksgiving.” “Why?” “Because, about the only thing one gets is thanks." Epiphany Saw Arrival Of Three W ise Men Twelfth-Night is the evening be fore Epiphany, or Twelfth-Day, which is the festival celebrated on January 6, the twelfth day after Christmas. It honors the arrival of the three wise men at Bethlehem. It is held by some that Twelfth Night commemorates the appear ance of the star of Bethlehem to the three wise men. In any event, the festival symbolizes the manifes tation of Christ to the Gentiles Men Used Holly-Bush To Beat Unruly W ives If wives knew history there wouldn’t be any holly in the Christ mas decorations. A stick cut from a holly-bush was a husband's most ef fective means of restoring discipline when his wife “answered back.” He always left the prickles on the stick, too. Fortunately—for the wives—this custom«belongs to the dark past and has long been forgotten. Do It TODAY!!! 4Goody Tree9 Will Brighten Your Home At Christmas—And It's Easy to Make INSTEAD of pulling out that old box of glass ornaments to decorate your Christmas tree, why not make it a “Goody Tree” this winter? It looks nice, it’s lots of fun to make, and it’s still more fun to eat the ornaments when Christmas is over. Popcorn balls, cookie Santa Clauses, surprise nuts, candy canes and a dozen oth- „ er delicacies can hang from the tree on Christmas morning. Instead of just looking at the pretty tree standing in the corner, you can reacn oui ana eai some oi me nice things that hang from its branches. A Goody Tree doesn’t cost very much because the few materials needed are later eaten anyway. No real work is required to make the goodies; parents and children can have a lot of fun working together to make their tree pretty. Popcorn Strings. PopcOTn strings always look pretty on the tree. They’re easy to make, __ too. Paint some popcorn with veg etable coloring. Then thread it on a piece of string, keeping a regular combination of colors, such as one red and one wnue, or one reu aou iwu wnnc. Popcorn balls can be fixed next. Boil two cups of sugar with syrup and pour over freshly buttered pop corn. Mix well and allow to cool slightly. Butter your hands thor oughly, then shape into balls. When the balls are shaped, push a string into them before you put them aside to dry. This will make them easier to hang. Surprise nuts always make a hit with the children—and grown-ups, too. Scoop the nutmeats out of a couple dozen walnuts, being careful not to crack or break the shells. Into each two pieces of empty shell, place a little gift, such as a shiny I new penny, a piece of candy, a lit tie trinket, or even a dime. Place a piece of knotted string betweer the two halves before glueing them together. When the glue is dry, paint the shells bright colors. Be fore long, no one will remember what is inside any one of them. Buy some nice, solid red apple? and a few good looking oranges. Shine the apples__ until they glisten, i then stack them ■ in the shape of a > pyramid at the I base of the tree I Be careful to ar- I range the oranges and apples in L some regular order or design. Christmas Cookies. When you bake Christmas cookies, put as much color into the figures as possible. Break some hard can dy and put in little pieces for eyes, or make a few buttons down the front of the shirt. Push a piece of string through each cookie so it can be hung on the tree. Lollypops may easily be made at tractive. Simply tie some fancy bows made out of cellophane or col ored paper around the stems. Can dy canes always dress up a tree, and can be purchased almost any place. If you have some tinfoil, use it to make a few small cornucopias. Shape it into the form of a cone and push a piece of string through one side. Fill the cone with little candies and it is ready to hang on -me tree. Many more things can be made for the tree. Use any ideas you might have—it will make the tree more your own. The goodies are hung on the tree the same as regular ornaments. It is advisable, however, to place them so that small children can get at some candies without danger of pull ing down the tree. When it is all finished, the Goody Tree will probably give you the most fun out of Christmas you’ve had in years. -1 Is There a Santa Claus? Here Are Two Answers to That ! 1 Important Question: saw®1'”' COURSE THERE IS! (And who could doubt those trust ing eyes?) NO THERE AIN’T! (And who would argue against that determined jaw?) OV Santa Claus Was Born in U. S. A. C'UROPE brought Christmas to America, but America gave Santa Claus to Europe. When the early Dutch settlers came to America, they had never heard of Santa Claus. Old St. Nicho las, who brought them presents each December 6, changed rapidly in the New world. His name became abbreviated and altered to Santa Claus, and his ex ternal appearance underwent great changes. From a lean ascetic he was transformed into a jolly, fat old fellow. His pale face became the color of rosy apples. He laid aside his canonical robes, miter and pastoral staff to become clothed in a cap and brilliant red suit, trimmed with ermine. The new Santa Claus traded his famous gray horse for a reindeer and sleigh. He also stopped giving presents on December 6, and started distributing gifts on the night ox December 24. The changes in his outward ap pearance were reflected in his change of character. When he came to America he left behind his rod and bag of ashes with which he beat naughty children, and adopted an entirely lovable personality. Completely transformed, he again crossed the ocean to be welcomed everywhere from Scotland to Aus tralia.
