Home Grown Xmas
Tree for Bachelders
A Nome grown, home grown,
Christmas tree is blooming at the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. Everett
Bachelder.
About a week ago they brought
in a frozen willow bush which they
had cut for this purpose earlier
in the season and planted it in
the house with plenty of water.
Within the week it was covered
with fuzzy pussy willows and it
is now turning green with fresh
shoots of leaves ready to be de
corated with Christmas tree orna
ments on Christmas.
This type of Christmas tree is
frequently used in remote villages
which are bare of spruce and their
blooming is somewhat of a Christ
mas miracle in the middle of
winter.
Yvonne Mozee, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Ben Mozee, who now
make their home in New Mexico,
is in the film studio of MR A at
their headquarters on Mackinac
Island in Michigan. This new
MRA film is an African story aim
ed to bring an answer to superior
ity on one hand and bitterness on
the other, she states, something all
nations seem to need.
Increased Spending Expected
Family Christmas spending is
expected to continue high in 1962,
with the average American family
of four spending around $162.
“This represents a slight increase
in Christmas gift expenditures over
last year and a 10 per cent increase
over three years ago,” says Sol
Weiner, president of Chicago
Printed String Co., which annually
surveys the nation’s gift buying.
Women buy most of the gifts for
the family — 24 out of 30 — but
men are bigger spenders. Nearly
half the men spend under $5 for
gifts but there are enough men who
spend more than $100 per present
to bring the male average up to
$11.38 per gift. This is more than
double for $4.58 the women spend
per present.
According to the survey, Christ
mas is by far the single most im
portant gift occasion, accounting
for 43 per cent of the nation’s
yearly gift buying.
Weiner predicts, “the stock mar
ket gyrations of earlier in the year
will not affect people’s attitudes
tow’ard the established custom of
Christmas time gift giving.”
Virginia Calkins, formerly of
Nome, is now employed at Mt.
Edgecumbe School at Sitka.

Nearly two thousand years ago, the first Christmas came to pass. Yet
our imagination never ceases to he captured hy the wondrous spirit
typical of its commemoration. A sense of humble anticipation is in
evidence as we await this beautiful Festival.
In this Holy Season may we all enjoy the beautiful simplicity of
faith and realize the joy for which the Prince of Peace has come to
bring to our hearts.
