The Nation's Christmas Tree
The famous General Grant Tree, officially dedicated sev-
eral years ago as the Nation's Christmas Tree, will be beauti-
fully lighted and decorated accompanied for the Carols and
Yuletide ceremonies of December 25th, points out the American
Express Travel Service. The celebrated tree located in the
Giant Grove of King's Canyon National Park, California, has
the largest base diameter of any known tree in the world. It's a
giant Sequoia and is so huge its size is difficult to visualize. Its
horizontal base is 40.3 feet and its height is 267 feet. King's
Canyon Park is 30 miles from Sequoia National Park and is
connected by the "General Highway," appropriately named for
the high general's trees in the Park. In the two park areas com-
prising 454,000 acres is the General Sherman tree of the Sequoia
area, the largest living thing in the world, 272.4 feet high. The
age of this tree is estimated between 3,000 and 4,000 years.
Within the two parks are many thousands of giant trees.
The True Light Of Christmas
Three years ago the idea was suggested in Connecticut that \
churches be illuminated during the pre-Christmas holidays. A
few churches adopted the suggestion , the custom has grown,
and now several hundred Connecticut churches thus light their
windows, steeples, and other suitable parts of the buildings.
Standing out above the secular buildings, some of which, notably
the stores, are beautifully lighted and decorated, the homes, and
the streets, gay and yet dignified in their Christmas hues, should
they not over-top all else in their brightness, symbolic of the
note of holiness and simplicity that underlies all gay Christmas
celebrations.
A natural inquiry now is, are there churches on Cape Cod
that have illumination? We find that three, at least, do. The
Congregational churches in West Yarmouth, Harwich Center,
and Harwichport, have flood-lights trained on their steeples
after dark all through the year. There may be others, and we
should be pleased to be informed, if that is the case.
Might not our church governing bodies be thinking a bit
along this line, and, perhaps, next year Cape Cod may send out a
veritable tide of light that shall hold aloft, for all to behold, the
deeper message of Christmas.
Christmas Caution
"What is the most dangerous tree in the world?" is a ques- '
tion asked by the National Board of Fire Underwriters. It an-
swers its own question, "It's that symbol of Yuletide cheer and i
good will—the Christmas tree." It then goes on to say that the I
tragic record of deaths and injuries, many of them to children,
caused by holiday fires, fully bears out the above statement.
A note of caution, therefore, must be injected into all cele-
brating and decorating plans. Have your tree, but be careful.
Here are a few elementary precautions, according to the
Fire Board, that should be followed:
Buy a small tree—it Is less hazardous. It should be placed well
away from radiators, heaters, and the fireplace. Candles should never
be used on the tree under any circumstances. Use only electric light
sets which carry the seal of approval of the Underwriter^ Labora-
tories—It guarantees that the sets meet the proper aafety standards.
Don't use paper, cotton or other flammable material* for decora-
tions. If extension cords are necessary, be sure they're In good condi-
tion—frayed wiring is a potent cauae of electrical fires. Never leave
the lights burning when the house is unoccupied. Dispose of gift
wrappings promptly—they're a real menace Inside the house. Be
especially careful with matches and smoking materials. And, finally,
get rid of your tree as soon ae the needles begin to fall. That means
it's dry and ready to burst Into flame.

Looking back to the days when scientists discovered tli
atoms could be split, we feel that from that time on the wl ?*
world has been splitting into separate fragments that no ]0n
e
fit any part of the human global puzzle we are tryine t« 8et
together. K w M
The dove of peace seems to be
hovering over our heads with a
gun in its beak instead ot an olive
branch. The world has become a
jigsaw pussle with pieces either
tacking or not needed to complete
the picture. We are working blind-
ly on the pussle, for we know not
what the completed pictures'will
prove to be. Every day we read in
the papers or hear over the radio
confusing reports on all subjects
and situations that change onr
point of view. We get very little
satisfaction from all these Investi-
gations that arise from time to
time making by headlines for a
while, then overshadowed by new
scandals or tragedies and maybe
we never knew how they are
settled.
These things only confuse our
minds and weaken our trust in the
great game of politics that is be-
ing played all over the world. "A
little knowledge Is often a danger-
ous tiling", but often we fail to
find any pure fountain of knowl-
edge from which to drink deeply—
that we can apply to present day
problems successfully. We do not
wish to imitate an ostrich and bury
our heads In the sand and ignore
all that goes on in the world, no
matter how small a part we may
fill in the bewildering game of
life.
Many people feel they are just
pawns, moved here and there or
left stranded by more powerful
players who have no right to elim-
inate them other than a better
position to take advantage of situ-
ations as they arise. Just now it
seems that what an old friend used
to call an "aroused public opinion"
is taking place in the world. That
is the quickest way to solve our
problems if it is in the right di-
rection for cleaner and simpler ad-
ministration of government In our
own country. We cannot nape to
help other countries until our own
methods have proved to be better
than those they are using.
It you listen to the Town Meet-
ing of the Air you will hear both
sides of the questions, at least two
sides, but we find several sides
can be presented and in the end
neither side is convinced or con-
vincing, in that case you have to
reserve your own decision on the
subject and wait for further in-
formation.
It Is easy to see why the Presi-
dent could promise not to raise
the price of gold now. We find he
no longer has that power unless
of course, for suggestion. If our
economic system keeps .going on
I from bad to worse, I suppose he
will not hestitate to use that kind
' of pressure if it comes to an issue.
That should not be allowed to hap-
pen. Emergencies should be pre-
vented, not waited for; an ounce
of prevention is worth a pound of
cure"—is true now as ever. We
have heard, "Oh, it couldn't happen
here" so often we have been lulled
to sleep and almost believe it, but
some sign boards should tell us,
"Danger Ahead", anything may
happen here. Emergencies like
what to do about recognizing Com-
munist China are hard to meet,
and there are more obstacles in
the way than we find In that old
story, The Pilgrim's Progress.
It seems unfair to put all the
blame for the Ward affair In China
on Secretary Acheson ; he certainly
would not act in such a delicate
situation as that might prove to
be, without the consent of and con-
sulfation with the President and 1
other high officials.

me, and on mine arm shall they
trust" (Isaiah 51 :5), Correlative
passages from "Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" by
Mary Baker Eddy include: "The
true theory ot the universe, includ-
ing man, Is not In material history
but In spiritual development. In-
spired thought relinquishes a ma-
terial, sensual, and mortal theory
ot the universe, and adopts the
spiritual and Immortal" (p. 547).

When I was just a little girl,
A long, long time ago
And lived in a cottage very small
On old Cape Cod—do you know
That some, one really said to me,
"There 's is no Santa Claus,"
And then my heart went pit-a-pat
And almost made a pause.
But my big brother told me
If I would wait to see,
He knew old Santa really would
His presence prove to me;
And so upon that Christmas eve
Before I went to bed
He set me by the fireplace
And I must hark, he said.
Then he went out and left me there ;
Soon I heard sleigh bells ring;
The sound came down the chimney, too
I watched like everything.
And then I heard old Santa laugh, *
And down the chimney came
An orange and an apple, both
Right in the fire-flame.
My brother then rushed in and said,
'You see Santa is here ;
Mother will put you right to bed,
Perhaps he will appear. "
I think I must have gone to sleep,
But next morn 'round the tree
Were presents he had left for all
And lots of them for me. »*
