Christmas.

Pondering on Christmas overseas
of that homesick boy of yours and
mine affects my thoughts so poign-
antly that I am not even going
through the pretense Of writing the
usual Merry Christmas" message.
Instead, let us simply consider some
interesting facts about the word
Christmas.
Christmas is formed from Christ
plus mass, "a church festival for
in the beginning Christmas was a
strictly sacred church holiday COM
memorating the Nativity, and had
none of the present-day spirit of
secular celebration.
The word mass, in the ecclesias-
tical sense, evolved from the Latin
word missa. meaning dismissal"
for. it is said, the phrase Ute, missa
est" Go. the congregation is dis
missed" was used at the end OF
church services. The word mass,
bulk; a large number or quantity"
has an altogether different origin
1t is from the Latin massa, "a barley
SoAS, AlSAASNs q AlCdOCo llldSo VI
dough-"
Yule evolved from the Anglo
Saxon "geol" (the feasD. In ancient
times December was called the for
mer yule." January was called the
latter Yule." On Christmas eve a
large backlog was placed on the
hearth for the Christmas fire, hence
the term "Yule log" The tide of
Yuletide is from the Anglo-Saxon
It'd" meaning time; season."
In France, Christmas is known as
Noel, from the Latin natalis, "re-
lating to birth or nativity" The
same meaning is found in the Span
ish term for Christmas, Natividad
de Jesus, and the Italian Natalie.
The only sincere Christmas mes
sage I can contrive today is: Good
luck to you and yours, and God bless
and keep our sons.

Famous Trick

One famous trick was used by
an actress in a show called The
Behavior of Mrs. Crane" The
actress had nothing 10 do in one
scene. She just sat, listening.
The audience was supposed TO
rivet it's attention on the others.
But she changed that, brother,
she changed that. Shed light
cigaret, drop her arm over the
arm of her chair, and hold
filmy handkerchief in the same
hand. Little by little the hand
kerchief would drift toward the
cigaret. The whole audience
watched breathlesSly, waiting
for the handkerchief TO catch
fire. The rest of the scene was
a dud.
The same actress invented the
trick OF balancing a cocktail
glass precariouSly on the arm Of
her chair. The audience watched
for the glass to fall off.
The noted Clifton Webb, ar
irving at the CaSs in "Blithe
