Christmas, with its magic of
colored lights, is one time when
the individual really comes into
his own. With the same basic
materials, and the same general
ideas to express, it is a source
of continual wonder to see the
vastly different effects which
can becreated. And, it is not
necessary to go to a great deal
of expense to create something
which is lovely to look at and
which says "Merry Christmas"
to all who see it.
Keeping a few simple rules
in mind and giving your imagi-
nation free rein, you can make
your Christmas decorating a
project in which the whole fam-
ily can share, giving everyon~e
a feeling of satisfaction in his
own individual contribution.
Selecting and Caring for Tree
, For many of us, the tree itself
will always be the central figure
in any decorating scheme, Se-
lecting it, bringing it home
visualizing it in its dressed and
lighted glory--all add to the
sense of anticipation.
Select a tree that is full and
beautifully shaped. As soon as
you bring the tree home~ stand
it in a pail or tub filled with
water until you are ready to set
it up and trim it. This will pro-
long the life and appearance of
the tree, keep the needles from
falling and minimize the danger
of fire.
Trimming Your TIee
Lights can do A
a great deal to
improve the
shape of a tree.
If your tree is [ \
long and slen-
der, string, the

and squat, string them in verti-
cal rows, from top to bottom.
(See Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.) Don't
guess at the number 'of lights
you need for your tree. Profes-
sional decorators use this for-
mula: Multiply the height of the
tree by the Width of the branches
"at the bas~, then multiply by
three. A tree seven feet tall, and
five feet wide at the base thus
would have 105
lights. Using
this rule and
~pacing you
ights evenly,
you will always
have an excel-
lent balanced
effect. .(See
Fig. 3.) Fl~. a
Don't limit yourself to con-
ventional Christmas lights.
Lamps which simulate ice crys-
tals or snow balls are now avail-
able and'produce a very inter-
esting appearance. Consider also
the flashing, twinkling or bub-
bling lights which give the
effect of motion and are par-
ticularly appealing to children.

Feeder Calf Sales
A tdtal of 7,913 feeder calves
were marketed through two State~
and nine regional Demonstration-
al 'Feeder Calf Sales, during 1999,
for a total of $932,462.33, it was
reported this week by Joe Emch
Extension a~nimal husbandman at
West 'Virginia University. This
number represents an increase of
1,270 calves over the number mar
keted in the 1958 sales.
The 4,7,16 steer calves sold for
art average of $30.17 per hundred
weight or $1.28.70 per head. The
3,917 heifer calves brought an av-
erage of $25.,34 ~per hundredweight
or $101:80 per head.
"Lack of rainfall and ample
grazing resulted ix~ calves that
were lighter than the calves sold
in the 1958 sales," Emch commen-
te'~he average weight of the steer
calves was 427 pounds and the av-
erage weight of the heifer calves
was 402 pounds. These weights
were 10 pounds per head lighter
for both the steer and heifer cal-
ves than the calves in the 1958
series of sales.
All calves marketed in these
sales were dehorned, vaccinated
for blackleg and shipping fever,
and all ,bull calves were castrated,
~Emch explai~aed. All calves were
graded into uniform lots accord-
ing to grade, breed, sex and wei-

Plan Meals To Keep
The Famil Well Fed
Tempting holiday sweets are tas
te-pleasers, but they are apt to
upset the homemaker's plans to
keep her family well nourished,
Extension home economics spec-
ialists at West Virginia University
I . ,
said this week.
To help keep a family well fed,
it is suggested that homemakers
rely upon a good meal plan. Such
a plan should include foods that
will supply the nutrients ~eeded
daily.
To satisfy bodily needs, meals
.must provide at least the follow-
lng:
(1) Food ~for building and re-
pairing t>ody tissues. Body tissues
and bones, mainly are made of
,protein, minerals and water. Chief
sources are milk, eggs, lean meat,
cheese and dried beans and peas.
(2) Food f'or the body-regulat-
i~ag processes (minerals and vita-
mins). Best sources are fruits and
vegetables, especially citrus fruits
and tomatoes, and leafy green
and dark yellow vegetables, Pro-
tein foods such as milk, lean
meats, eggs and dried beans and
)eas are rich sources of certain
minerals and vitamins, too. The
For Winter
Have you put your garden to
bed for the winter? If you have
not, now is the time to do so.
There are many plants which, al-
though hardy, will not take our
cold winter winds and sun. Good
examples of this are rhododen-:
drons, boxwood a~d most of the
other broadleaf evergreens.
Such plants should be protect-
ed from December ! to April 1.
The best method to protect such
plants is .to select the right place i
in which they are protected. Many
folks do not plant rhododendron
and other plants in protected lo-
cations. If you have broadleaf ev-
ergreens that are exposed to win
ter winds and sun, the best way
to protect them is to build a scaf-
fold on three sides-east, south and
west. Now cover the frame with
burlap. This will give the needed
protection.
' ~Hybrid tea roses are not hardy
in northern West Virginia. The
best way to protect .them "is to
make a mound of soil 8 inches
deep around the base of the plant,
Other materials such as straw
hay and the like have been tried
but none has proved as success-
ful as soil.
Many of the chrysanthemums-
both single and double-which
are plar~ted are only semi-hardy.
The best way to protect these
plant is to lift them and. place
them in a coldframe. Around the
~base of the plants, peat moss
straw, or leaves may be added for
further protection.
Other means of protecting ten-

put in place. Then the lights
should be strung, top to bottom.
Reflectors and halos add much:
to the brilliance of lights.
Now you arc ready for the
"string type" decorations. With
this much done, you can begin
to place your most interesting
ornaments, selecting spots whcre
they will show to best advan-
tage. When all the ornaments
hgve been placed the tinsel can
be arranged, each piece hung
individually on the branches.
Angel hair or a spray of artifi-
cial snow may be added at the
very end.
The top-to-bottom procedure
should be followed throughout.
It is the easiest, the fastest and
above all, the safest way. That
word "safest" is one which you
should be conscious of through-
out the Christmas season. All
light strings should be inspected
carefully and all sets with worn
or exposed wires replaced with
new U/L approved sets. Protect
against short circuits or blown-
out fuses by making sure you
have at least one set of lights
with a safety fuse plug (such as
those manufactured by NOMA
LITES). This set should be con-
nected to the wall socket or
other source of current; other
light strings can be attached
to it. Should a fuse blow, it can
easily be replaced at the socket,
with a twist of the fingers.

paper and place it over a dowel.
The paper should be heavy
enough to keep its cone shape,
and translucent enough for the
light to shine through.
The traditional Christmas
greens provide many beautiful
arrangements. Laurel and Pine
branches wound around a stair-
rail can be decorated with lights,
canes and a few simple orna-
i ments for a glowing effect.

ments. A set of lights inter-
twined with Pine or other
greens on top of a bookcase

One of the most attractive,
and least expensive, means of
outdoor lighting is to run strings
of lights along the eaves or roof
edge. Ordinary drive rings, avail-
able at any hardware store, can
simplify the job enormously.
U-shaped, the drive rings can be
affixed to the under-
edge of the roof, and the
lights threaded through
tl}etn. The same tech-
tuque can be used in
outlining doors andwin-
dows with lights. The
drive rings will keep
them in position, pre-
vent• sagging or uneven effects.
Important to any outdoor dec-
orative scheme is the front door.

or into chicken wire cut to form
a foundation for a spray. Large

ollers complete a pretty, wel-
coming Christmas doorway.
Your permanent evergreens
and shrubbery also lend them-
selves beautifully to Christmas
decorating. To protect an expen-
