Design and workmanship are of the finest, and our prices are most moderate. "A pine always has two or more needles in a place on the twig, while the balsam and spruce occur singly. Balsam needles are flat and will slide between your thumb and forefinger, while spruce are foursided and tend to roll. Furthermore the spruce needle is sharp-pointed and prickly while ba1. sam is rounded and more pliable." "Do you go out to the country with your children and cut your own tree?" "Occasionally, but we always ask our farmer friends permission and he usually comes along so we do not cut trees which he is saving for a timber crop. If you help yourself and get caught you could be charged with theft." "What are the main features you look for in a Christmas tree?" "We generally get a recently-cut scotch pine or balsam fir, five to six feet high, whirls of branches not over a foot apart and evenly balanced; when we were in the apartment we found we could buy a tree that was flat on one side cheaper, and it fitted into a corner much better." Here are a few DONT'S. DON'T forget that fire kills. DON'T leave the Christmas lights burning on the tree when you retire or go out. DON'T set up your tree near an open fireplace. DON'T use candles near your tree. DON'T let your Christmas tree, through carelessness, leave you or your family a skeleton for Christmas. Foresters report a big demand for scotch pine Christmas trees. Prices range from .75c to $1.25 on the stump. The higher price each year shows the increasing popularity of scotch pine. Several years ago 30c and 50c for select trees was paid by the American buyers and there were com- paratively few sold locally. FEDERATION OF AGRIC. PASSES 2 MOTIONS R. S.

Hello Homemakers! The bells will ring thorughout the world on Christ- mas Day. In a few European centres there are people who believe that the bells of a demolished church will ring every Christmas Eve. One such place is in Holland where a whole city, famous for its beauty, also its wicked- ness, was swallowed up by the sea, From the depth the ghostly bells peal only once a year. Another legend con- cerns the bells of Raleigh, a ghost town, which echo in a country valley in England. Do you know that a set of bells, usually not more than 15 in number, tuned to the intervals of the major scale is called a chime. A large set with chromatic intervals, is called a carillon. And the largest ever made in England are installed in Riverside Church, New York. However, we shall hear many carillon chimes and bells throughout the season, especially over the radio ... Bells, seem to say repeat- edly, "Peace on earth, goodwill to- ward men." REQUESTED RECIPES Almond Shortbreads (for Mrs. J.

It looked more like the hall rack than a Christmas tree," "That was probably a spruce and it had probably been cut three weeks before you bought it. I've always tried to get a balsam fir or a pine because the needles hang on so much better. If it's a spruce, we make sure it has not been cut too long." "How do you tell the difference be- tween pine, balsam fir and spruce?"
