CREEK ORTHODOX
CHRISTMAS JAN. !
viii Be Widely Celebrated Here;
Only One Arrest; Youngsters
Entertained

In just twelve days Steelton will
again celebrate Christmas
This time, however, it will be the
Christmas of the Greek Orthodox
Church, which falls on January Z.
This difference in the dates of the
two holidays is due to the difference
in the calendars of the churches. The
Gregorian calendar used by the
Greek Orthodox Church--is just thir-
teen days behind the Julian calendar,
by which we mark time.
This second Christmas celebration
Is widely observed by the foreign ele-
ment in Steelton. Numerous pig
roasts, picturesque folk dances and
other affairs to us rather odd, mark
the day in Steelton's big foreign dis
trict.
Yesterdays Christmas celebration
here was almost unique. Only one ar
rest was made. The unlucky offender,
who fell into the laws clutches, was
Stewart Palmer, of Harrisburg. Stew
art, it seems, had been celebrating
rather freely when he was elected
from a TROLLEY car. He retaliated, it
is alleged, by hurting a whisky bottle
through a car window. He will be
arraigned before Squire Gardner.
JOY was brought to the hearts of
just eighty-one kids through the
movement inaugurated by the Rev. A.
X. Wier, pastor of Centenary United
Brethren Church. The children, after
attending an entertainment in their
honor, were taken into the homes of
the church members, where they
spent the day. The Rev. Mr.. and Mrs.
Wier entertained just fourteen of the
little tots-rather a houseful
The big plant of the Pennsylva-
MIA Steel Company was closed down
tight and still is. Operations will be
resumed gradually after Monday.
