THE TRUE SPIRIT
OF ST. NICHOLAS
It is thought that St. Nicholas
died about 345 A.D., and for 30
days following his festival day his
genial spirit roamed the earth,
filling the hearts of mankind with
love and generosity. He gave the
gifts without thought of return—
the true spirit of St. Nicholas and
Christmas.
More Than $10,000 Donated
To Family Whose Five Small
Children Burned To Death
MARINETTE, Wis., OR—Contri
butions, already totaling $10,000
in cash and pledges, poured into
Marinette last night in the wake
of a tragic fire that took the lives
of five small children and pros
trated their parents with grief and
shock.
The five children of Mr. and
Mfs. Robert De Gaynor, the old
est six years, the youngest two,
perished in a pre-dawn fire yes
terday. The De Gaynor’s home
and all their possessions were lost
in the blaze.
Basilica Of The Nativity
Among Oldest Churches
The Basilica' of the Nativity at
Bethlehem is one of the oldest
churches in Christendom, having
been built 1,620 years ago.
As it stands today it represents
the original building as erected by
the Emperor Constantine and res
torations and additions made un
der Justinian.
It is surrounded by three con
vents of separate faiths: Greek,
Latin and Armenian. All three
have the privilege of worshipping
in the Grotto of the Nativity, and,
surprisingly enough, all' three cel
ebrate Christmas on separate occa
sions.
AN ORDINARY COURTESY
“Are you planning to hang any
mistletoe in your house during
the holidays, Sarah?” asked the
mistress.
Sarah sniffed in disgust. I
should say not! I got too much
pride to advertise for ordinary
courtesies a lady’s done got the
right to expect.”

In Many Lands
Fish Is ‘Turkey’
At Christmastime
Christmas may mean a turkey
dinner with all the trimmings to
most Americans, but to many of
those whose recent ancestry goes
back to foreign lands, fish is
“turkey,” according to the Fish
and Wildlife Service.
In Scandinavian communities
throughout the United States, the
proper celebration of the Christ
mas and New Year holidays in
cludes the serving of “lutefish” in
large quantities. Lutefish—or call
it “Lutefisk” or “Norwegian tur
key”—is served as the main dish
at community suppers in churches
and lodges or in private homes by
persons of Norwegian, Swedish,
or Danish descent. As tradition
ally served, lutefisk is piled high in
quivering white jelly-like flakes,
with a covering of melted butter
or milk gravy, and garnished with
“lingon” berries, a mountain cran
berry.
Eels, which during most of the
year have only a limited sale in
the United States, come into their
own during the Christmas season,
when quantities of them are
brought into New York for the
Italian - American trade. During
the month before Christmas, fish
ermen from Eastport, Maine, to
Cristfield, Maryland—and in some
Canadian provinces — are busy
catching eels to' supply this holi
day market. Each fisherman has
a live box in shallow water where
the eels can be held alive until
needed for market, for only live
eels are acceptable for this trade.
Christmas Eve in many Polish
households is celebrated by the
eating of carp, while many per
sons from Germany and other
middle-European countries cher
ish carp in “Polish sauce” as a
favorite holiday dish. Thousands
of carp are fattened for months to
be in prime condition for the holi
day trade; for, like eels, carp for
the Christmas market are sold
alive to 'the customer. _
