California Holly Decorative Plant For Local Gardens
California holly, or Toyon as most people know it, is one of the most beautiful native Southern California ornamental plants that can be grown in our gardens.
This plant reaches its peak of perfection right here along our coast, according to Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg. On the islands of Santa Rosa off coast of Santa Barbara there have been reported specimens of California holly with a trunk diameter of 18 inches.
This native plant used to be so common on the southern slopes of the Hollywood hills that it suggested the name of Hollywood. Larger berries are found in the plants in the lower lands than up in the foothills probably because or better soil conditions lower down. The best growth of berries, however, is in the low foothills where the soil is still deep.
It is a sturdy plant and will grow under rather unfavorable conditions on hillsides with a southern exposure, states Wahlberg.
California holly can be most easily propagated from seed. There are, however, some selected varieties that are propagated by grafting. This method is difficult and usually increases the cost of production so that only special varieties such as the yellow berry type would justify the expense.
Some pruning may be needed to shape a young tree and occasionally an older plant will need some thinning out in the center, but excessive pruning should be avoided. Fire blight, a disease which attacks this plant, is much worse on trees which are making heavy growth. A considerable amount of wood is removed when the berries are harvested and this usually serves for pruning.

WHITE KITCHEN
I'm dreaming of a white kitchen
Just like the ones I used to know.
Plaques and decals missin'
My walls will glisten
And gleam like freshly fallen snow
I'm screamin' mad at striped kitchens,
Plaids, checks and florals gaudy bright
To my gaze seem glaring and trite
Above all, my kitchen must be white!

Campus Groups Express Yuletide Spirit in Decor
Evidence of the Yuletide spirit was everywhere present on the Fullerton junior college campus last week in the decorations placed by 17 different campus organizations.
High above the campus, between the administration building and the commerce building, Santa Claus, with a loaded, bright red sleigh and six reindeer, is streaking through the air. Responsible for this familiar Christmas reminder is the Associated Women Students organization.
On a balcony above the main entrance, one sees a Nativity scene. Shepherd's and wise men, sheep and donkeys crowd around the entrance below—all out-of-figures, lifesize and 'brightly painted. Members of the Skid club prepared this decoration.
In the dean's office, miniature show scenes decorate the counters and dean's desks. Upstairs in the administration building, a big snow man looks out of the big windows. Decorations here were arranged by the DiGamma Nu Alpha pre-nursing club.
Other organizations whose efforts contributed to the merry appearance of the campus include the Phi Alpha Omegas, the Theta Nu Theta, the Associated Men Students, the Hornet "Y", the Kappa Lambda Sigmas, the Language club, the Future Business Leaders, the Pep club and the Women's Athletic association.
THE INGREDIENTS of mince pie traditionally symbolize the gifts of the magi: the crust—gold; the spices—myrrh; the aroma—frankincense.

Tangerines Make This High C Slaw
Tangerines, the wonderful kidglove fruit from Florida, are back in plenty to brighten the winter food picture with their high C—C for their bright color which accents duller foods. C for their high vitamin content.
Cabbage slaw, that wintertime favorite among salads and side dishes, takes well to the addition of this tangy citrus fruit. The tangerine flavor is a nice addition to the cabbage, and since both foods boast high Vitamin C, the salad will be good for everyone.
When you're buying fruit during January and February, be sure to include plenty of tangerines. The season is short, and the fruit is so good that you'll want to pack it in each lunchbox; use it in salads and fruit cups, and have it around for between meals snacks.
Here's how to make the slaw so easy you'll make it a men standby. Particularly good with ham and pork dishes!
Tangerine Slaw
4 Florida tangerines
2 cups shredded cabbage
2 teaspoons sugar
½ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon vinegar.
Chill tangerines before preparing. Peel; remove white membrane. Pull sections apart. Cut off center section membrane with scissors. Cut sections in half; pile on top of cabbage. Combine remaining ingredients; spoon on top of tangerine sections. When ready to serve, toss lightly. Yield six servings.
Cross-Section Of the Old Yule Log
Lucky are the children who live in or near Torrintgon, Conn., at Christmas time where the community has an annual project of making a replica of Santa's north pole residence. There is a spangled throne for Santa, a tinsel-decked caroller, and a work room where Santa and his elves make toys for the children. Two record books are conspicuously placed respectively, "Good Boys and Girls" and "Bad Boys and Girls." The day before Christmas is Toy Hower day when local citizens come to the help of Santa. Every child in town gets a worthwhile gift from Santa's village. Here is, of course, a huge Christmas tree with snowy branches and colored lights make the snow pink, green, purple, and yellow by turns. Red sleigh stands nearby into which the children may climb, and we reindeer that love to be peted and fed by the children are sheltered not far from the sleigh. Creche completes the scene.
A Singing Christmas tree is an annual event at Fort Meyers, Fla.
Santa Claus salads are fun to serve. Place half of a pear, round-side up, on lettuce. Make eyesinkle with clove heads, use bits of candied cherry for nose and mouth, rub a bit of food coloring "cheeks" for ruddy complexion. A bit of the coloring in whipped cream makes a jaunty red toogan cap, and make the white usel and Santa's whiskers of white whipped cream.
The old favorite, candle salad, is specially effective at Christmas time: a slice of pineapple for the handle holder, one half of a banana for the candle. Top with a layer of Brazil nut feces the wick. I just before serving touch a patch to the "wicke"—the oil in nut will burn for several minutes. A little dressing dripping from top of the "candle" gives it fine style, and the house is clean from stem to stern!
FESTIVE WEEK
Aren't the holidays wonderful? True, the little woman (meaning you) has run herself ragged getting ready, but the last package was sent off in the nick of time in spite of everything, junior's costume for the school play worked out all right after all, Santa made the deadline in fine style, and the house is clean from stem to stern!
Like Cinderella at the stroke of 12, the harried housewife assumes another role as if by magic. The flurry of preparation over Mrs. Homemaker emerges the glamorous creature that she really is with a bit of rest, the satisfaction of seeing the family all so happy, a fresh hair-do, and the Christmas finery, she is ready to live a little, and perhaps extend some good old fashioned hospitality to relatives and friends.
Since maidless households are the rule rather than the exception in Anaheim, the hostess who hopes to enjoy her own party plans to keep it as simple as possible. Of course the big doings include food and drink and of course the celebrations are as festive as possible.
Open house is a pleasant affair when guests are invited to drop in any time on a specially designated evening. No need to plan special entertainment as good conversation is all the diversion needed.
"Come over for dessert and coffee at the Christmas tree" is another invitation that is appreciated by all who love the holiday traditions.
A buffet supper is one of the most satisfactory of holiday meals—fun for the guests, easy on the hostess.
