"YULE-TIDE" AND THE
"YULE-LOG"

YULE-TIDE is at hand and we
hear good deal of the "yule-log"
In olden times they laid stress on
"yule-candle" and on ''yule-cake"
In very olden times, five hundred
years ago, they spoke of "yule-
dough" or "yule-baby', which was
dough cut out in the form of little
boy or little girl and baked and
which it was the custom of bakers
to present to their customers at
Christmas.
"Yule" is derived either from
Scandinavian or Anglo-Saxon and
there are four times as many ex-
plantations or guesses at the original
meaning of the word as there are
letters in it. 1t has been said that
''yule-log" is corruption of "ale-
log, and it is set down in old
chronicles that it was custom in
England, more than especially in the
county of Norfolk and other parts
of the North, to allow tenants and
retainers of the lord of the manor
to drink the best or strongest ale
as long as the yule-log burned. For
this reason the lords servants were
interested in cutting the thickest
and longest-burning log that they
could find in the lords forest. 1t
was cut as long as the fireplace was
wide and knotty oak was usually
chosen.
To the ashes of the yule-log were
ascribed certain efficacious proper
ties and they were gathered from
the fireplace with care. For one
thing they were mixed with cattle
feed to preserve the animals from
disease and also to cure them of
any disease. Scattered on the land
the ashes of the yule-log protected
crops against blight.
There are authorities who say
that the yule-log was the center of
the sbonfires which the pagan Scan
iinavians lighted in honor of their
god Thor, at about the time of the
winter solstice, and that, Christmas
coming at about the time of the
winter solstice, the yule-log burn
ng was continued by the Scandina
VANS after their conversion tc
Christianity Another story is that
The Christian missionaries, after
converting the northern pagans, re
quired them to cut down large
tree, hew from it's trunk heavy
.og and then burn that log as a SYM
Dol that they renowned their heath
en- gods. This formal remuneration OF
paganis mand induction into Chris
tianity was often timed to take
place during the Christian celebra
ton of the birth of Christ, and it is
said that in this way the yule-log
came to be part of the celebra-
ton Of Christmas.
"Yule' is spelled in so many
ways, by the early writer's that ii
is confusing and one cannot always
make out what "yule" is meant. A
clear and frequent way of spelling
It in the Middle ages was "ewle".
Some writer's have hit upon a theory
that there is connection between
the words ''yule" and "yowl" or
howl, and it was the 'yowling
time' or the time for making noise
and being festive-the time of
greatest revelry of the year.

Pacific's Deepest Tone

The deepest place known in any
ocean is off the island of Mindanao,
in the Philippines group, where a

ported.

ocean Is near Puerto Rico, 1872
feet; in the Indian ocean, %, o88
feet; in the Arctic. 1880; in the
Malay, 2l,342; in the Caribbean,

RED Is MOST CHEERFUL
CHRISTMAS-TIME COLOR

Red is regarded as the most
cheerful of all colors. 1t is said to
react the most quickly on the optic
nerve. Decorations available at the
winter solstice include holly, the
berries of which are red. It grew to
be the custom to use holly and ber-
ries of a similar nature in preparing
for the festival Of Christmas. BY
virtue of the association of ideas
red came to be connected with the
Christmas season.

MIsTLETOE AND KISSING

The mistletoe and kissing are al
ways inseparably connected in the
minds Of Europeans, and as far
back as tradition and history can
go the quaint berried plant and
kissing have always gone hand in
hand together.

Ring out! Ring out! We happy bells,

For Christ the child has come to us

Make ev'ry hill and valley ring, fill

For we who have received the Christ
would show him welcome here.

gest problem in persuading the
youngsters TO put aside their
instruments long enough for the
necessary and required recre-
alton and supervised physical
training.
This Interlochen idea devel-
oped some Is. years ago when
go young musicians from the
schools of 35 states assembled
in Detroit for the music educa-
tors national conference.
When this orchestra of young
sters some of them no more
than II years old swung
into Beethoven's Eroica SYM
phony, Ossip Gabrilowitsch, then
director of the Detroit SYM
phony, had tears in his eyes
when he said:
This is the most marvellous
thing 1 have ever heard"
That was the real birth of
the National Music Camp idea.
and from year after year the
project has grown until now it
is looked upon as the greatest
single influence in the musical
life of younger America. And

1t is the ideal objective be-

Though this service is over
night and every night, carrying
many business travellers, the
hours of daylight sailing which
il affords, the size and appoint
ments of the boats and the fact
that Niagara Falls is readily
available from Buffalo, give it
more than touch of the cruise
atmosphere and make it fine for
war workers whose time from
their jobs must be held 10 a
minimum.
Departure from Detroit is at

When the war is over, whether it
is of short duration or lasts several
years, we of America can look back
upon our entry into it with pride
and satisfaction. We did not rush
into it heedlessly. We did not go
into it for material gain, to add new
territory, or ito build up our indus
tries. We went into it with clean
hands to preserve, what are to us,
real spiritual values. We went into
it to preserve for ourselves and for
others liberty and freedom from ag-
Preston and oppression. When We
emerge the victors, as we will, it will
be the greatest triumph for the
cause of human liberty in all the
history of the race. The sacrifice
we will have laid upon the alter of
liberty will he great, great in treas
ure, great in blood, great in spiritual
values. We have not underestirnat
the thing for which we are fighting,
and we have not underestimate its
cost. We are a great people, with
great principles, great courage. Our
ideals are founded in liberty and our
courage is born of liberty. For
such there can he no defeat.
