WINDOW PAINTERS — Members of the Milford Junior High School Art Club have spent their free time painting local merchants* windows for the Christmas holidays. Each group was responsible for approaching a business and designing the windows which meant drawing and painting backwards because all windows were painted from the inside. To facilitate easy clean-up, temper paint combined with a soap mixture was used, explained Jim Zielasko, art instructor. Sixth grade club members responsible for the painting in Campbell's window from the left are: Pam Shock. Evelyn Stricklin. Shawna Miller and Tisha Galloway.

Famous Christmas traditions

One of our best loved Christmas traditions started in Germany in the 16th century. Martin Luther, legend tells us, placed lighted candles on the branches of a fir tree. From that simple beginning, tree decorations expanded to include multi-colored paper roses, apple wafers, gold foil and sweets. German immigrants brought the Christmas tree custom with them to America. A Pennsylvania man’s diary dated 1821

carries the first known mention of a Christmas tree in America. For years, people paid admission to see decorated trees in stores and churches. The trees were festooned with cranberries, cookies, cotton, eggshells, figs, gas jets, lemons, nuts, paintings, plums, popcorn and toys. Contemporary Christmas tree decoration takes many forms. There are city chic all one color scheme trees, trees decorated with gilded paper fans and trees that twinkle with hundreds of white lights. In recent years, there’s been a return to a more traditional look. Victorian lace, country American and quilted gingham ornaments are favorite themes along with the perenially popular popcorn and cranberry garlands. Busy hostesses are taking the “tree” concept to create a new kind of Christmas tradition. Edible mini trees, ranging from cookie trees to cranberry popcorn trees, are an original way to decorate a holiday table and feed your guests dessert easily and conveniently.
