Spectacular Christmas Pie
Whatever the dessert at holiday dinner, it mustbe of a spec
tacular nature—and one of the handsomest is Christmas Choco
late Pie. The chocolate chiffon goes into a crust of mellow corn
flake crumbs. The pie derives its chocolate flavor from semi
sweet chocolate morsels, the same candy-like pieces the children
love for out-of-hand nibbling. And thanks to the presence of
reliable unflavored gelatine, the filling requires little cooking
only the few minutes necessary to dissolve the unflavored gela
tine and melt the chocolate morsels. For the rest, Christmas
Chocolate Pie simply chills until ready for serving.

Snow Scenes Say,
"It’s Christmas Time”
By AHNA MANG
Where the sun shines bright,
the air is balmy and never is
heard the discouraging howl of
a blizzard, Christmas is still
a winter wonderland.
In northern climes the com
plaint is, “We just don't have
j snow for Christmas the w a y
: we used to," and even in cli
: mates where decorated palm
trees substitute for evergreens
and holiday picnics are more
likely than sleigh rides, snow
and plenty of it seems an es
sential part of the vision of the
Yuletide.
Country snow scenes are
popular greeting card subjects
and Christmas illustrations in
Southern states. South Ameri
can countries and many other
places where snow seldom or
never falls. Songs and stories
tell of a Christmas world wrap
ped in wintry white.
The popularity and persist
ence of the “winter wonder
land’” idea seems more re
markable since “snow for
Christmas" must have been
improbable, if not impossible
as a part of the Holy Night.
Rain was more likely, especi
ally on the date officially cel
ebrated as Christ's birthday.
December 25 is right in the
midst of the- rainy season in
Bethlehem.
Early art depicting the Na
tivity and the events follow
ing it was faithful to the prob
abilities. In these paintings, the
shepherds watched in fields
free of snow, and the Holy
Family fled to Egypt under
sunny skies, their route mark
ed by palm trees. Later, snow
appeared in paintings of the
Holy Night.
HOLIDAY CANDLES
Don't deny yourself a can
; dlelighl atmosphere at Christ
mas if such is your desire.
Just remember that the can
dle represents a potential
fire hazard.
Never place lighted candles
on a Christmas tree, or in the
window. Do not use them in
any manner with decorations
that are flammable. Light
them only in rooms where
someone will be able to watch
them closely.
Extinguish candles when
ever you leave the room or
the house.

PALMER A
BENSON
AMUSEMENT CO
Part of the explanation may
be that white, rather than red
and green, was early chosen
by churches as the color of
Christmas. White is, of course,
the symbol of purity and in
nocence, and a landscape
white with snow thus becomes
a proper expression of the true
spirit of Christmas.
Other explanations m a y be
found in the origins of Christ
mas customs. Many of the
pagan rites which were ab
sorbed into the Christian cele
bration came from Northern
Europe and, if not associated
directly with snow, at least
reflected the need for warmth
in winter.
The Yule log, for instance,
became a part of the early
Christmases, and certainly an
open fire indoors is enhanced
by a blanket of snowr outdoors.
Consider, too. that a number
of modern Christmas customs
—the tree and its lights, for
instance — came from Ger
many, where cold, snowy win
ters might logically contribute
to the legends and lore of the
season. The first lighted tree
was, supposedly, created by
Martin Luther as a symbol of
a starry sky on a snowy night.
In modern times Irving Ber
lin and Bing Crosby have usb
stantially strengthened the
vision of a “White Christmas.”
Bing singing Berlin’s famous
song is now a traditional part
of the Yule season.
While many, perhaps most,
people may be able only to
dream of a white Christmas,
| including Palmer, and create
’ts semblance with cotton or
spray-on snow, it’s a safe as
sumption that the happiest
season will continue to be en
visioned as a snowy winter
wonderland.

FOG WORMS
By BOB KLEM
I wander lonely in a fog
Through hallways I had long
forgot.
No window, roof or any floor
Confine my idle trend of
thought.
Where fog worms squirm
through empty minds
To search the nothingness
they need,
I struggle weakly to survive
And think half-heartedly of
creeds.
I would prefer the easy way—
Let no emergency arise
That needs bring life to
common clay —
It’s too much trouble to
be wise!
