(WITH BILL SMILEY)
This is a trying time of year:
Across the land, a lot off people
are in a stew about something.
'Merchants who have gone to the
hilt on the overdraft, for a big
are sweating out the pre-
ChriStm as ' d'ultdrums. • Students
W410 have had a ball all fall are
green as they face Christmas
,xams with AI &thing in ,the bel-
fry. Housewives look torward
t) the Christmas chaos with
sheer dread.
*
But I'm not worrying too
much about any. of them. The
merchants will,wind up a few
dollars ahead of last year. The
students will totter through on
a mixture of luck and nerve.
The housewives will emerge on
Boxing -Day, bloody but unbow-
ed. The people who have my
deep sy.mpathy, this time of
year, are the men and women
in hundreds of municipalities
who are standing before a
mirror, trying to look firm, in-
telligent and able, as they seek
to muster enough courage to
run for public office.

HANGING OF GREENS
AMONG OLD, CUSTOMS
• The custom of hanging ever-
greens and other decorations
during the Christmas festkval is
perhaps, the olde.st Yuletide
custom. It probably dates from
pre -Christian days, for the time
of the winter solstice, ,Deeember
21, when the sun appears to
pauSe before returning to the
earth and the days begin to get
longer, was an occasion of re-
joicing.
The decorations were left up
for a long period and, on Feb-
ruary 1, 1444, St. Paul's Cath-
edral, in London, was almost
burned- ,down aflt,er fire' had
taken hold of the evergreens
