GOOD READING FOR THE WEEK

Christmas is coming, so light the
candle" spirit The festal day is
celebrated all over the world. The
Rose and the Ring, by M. A. Tit
maish. William Makepiece Thacle-
cray created this in order to enter
tain some English children in Rome
on winter holiday. It's ridiculous
fooling has amused generation after
generation. Come Christmas, edited
by Leslie Frost, and Away in
Manager, compiled and decorated by
by Jean Thoburn are collections of
Christmas poetry, song, drama and
prose The Christ Child, by Maud
and Mislsa Petersham, The Long
Christmas, by Ruth Sawyer, and
Christ Legends, by Selma Lagerlof,
are good for children to read, or
fine stories to read to them.
There are beautiful tales of ami
mails; five in particular are interest
ing to old and young. All Through
the Night, by Rachel Field, is sim
pie and beautiful story of the nativ-
ity as the animals in the stables saw
it. Christmas in the Woods, by
Frances Frost, is a lovely little
poem of shy little wood animals set
to exquisite snowy pictures. Under
the Little Fir, by Elizabeth Yates,
is the story of all animals at peace
together under the tree trimmed by
the children DuIce DOmum, by
Kenneth Grahame, Is the memorable
story of the field mice who came to
sing carols at Mole End. The Tailor
of Gloucester, by Beatrix Potter, is
the old, old story that animals can
talk in the night between Christ
mas Eve and Christmas Day in the
Morning"
The lovely story, Christmas!
Christmas, by Frances Clarke Sag
ers, is one Of the incest ones to read
aloud, Tooloo, aged five, wanted
Christmas one inch high. Her
Christmas Eve party, her full stock
ing are answers to her wish. A gem
eral family favorite too, is Why the
Chimes Rang, by Raymond Alden,
also Silent Night, the Story of
Song, by Hertha Ernestine PAUL..
Not to be forgotten is Hagerstown's

This year, more than ever, we
need to keep the old spirit of Christ
mas. Set the mood for the holiday,
get out the old carols and start
humming. Read the Legends Of
Christmas to the family, while you
sit by the Preside. Recall the
Christmas stories, Washington Irv-
ing's The Bold Dragon, A Story of
Christmas Bells, and tell them to
your friends, by candlelight Dig
out old Christmas games and have
a regular Christmas at home this
year.
Do not overlook Christmas Carols,
by Dickens. II needs reading year
ly Clement Moore's poem, A Visit
From st. Nicholas, was written to
be enjoyed by young and old alike.
There are so many old favorites,
sometimes overlooked in the mass
of new material and new interests.

Many novelists have used Christ
mas as a background for their books
Running of the Deer by d. Wick

Happy Christmas, Elizabeth
Goudge's Sister of the Angels and
Well of the Star, Legerlof's Legend

the Christmas theme.
There is wealth of short stories
for Christmas-Hans Christian An
derson's The Fir Tree is classic.
Bret Harte's Santa Claus at Simp-
sons Bar will broaden your Christ
mas spirit, as will Little Rogers
Night in the Church, by Susan Coo
lidge Robert Haven Schauffler has
a very short story that presents the
ideal of Christmas so poignantly
that none should miss it, Read The

the universal Christmas message.

lemen that it is much easier and

snow without clothes or blankets"
History tells us that Congress did
little to relieve the sufferings of the
army. All this time the enemy ar
my was comfortably quartered in
Philadelphia and the officers were
billeted upon the inhabitants.
The winter of 1779-90 was passed
by the American Army in huts near
Morristown. It was one of the Sc
verest seasons ever experienced in
America The harbor of New York
was frozen over as far as the Mar
rows and the ice was strong enough
to bear the heaviest artillery. Com
munlcation between New York and
the sea was entirely cut off and the
British garrison and the citizens
suffered from a scarcity of provis-
ions.
The pilgrims, when they came to
this country to escape religious per-
secution in 1920, no doubt spent
their first Christmas in the new
world in joyous manner. We cam
not visualize them displaying much
pomp and show and as they did not
have the wherewithal to do it with,
even if they had been so inclined,
but we imagine they entered into
the simple Christmas spirit which
they believed in and which they
were taught. When did they ar
rive at Plymouth, New England?
On Dec. II, 1920, old style of the
calendar, and Dec. %, new style, or
our present system, the exploring
party of the Pilgrims landed at the
head of the harbor they had dis
covered. The place was explored
and chosen as the site of the settle
ment, and was named Plymouth, in
memory of the last English town
from which the Pilgrims had sailed.
There comes to mind the way
people usel to do in early days in
the way of communication. There
were no telephones nor automobiles.
When a death occurred, especially
was this true in the rural sections or
the country, relatives were notified
by horseback. Some member of the
family or friend would ride
across country and tell about the
death, the time of the funeral, etc.
A Smithsburg Postscript
The Bowman name is one which
for many years has been associated
with Smithsburg history. And we
must not forget the band which en-
ivened the occasion of many a
country picnic and festive event.

fine music. It was real band.

It was at Christmas time that
General George Washington decid-
ed to re-cross the Delaware River
and attack the Hessians. Many of
our readers have seen the picture
depicting Washington making this
memorable crossing, standing up
right in small boat. The division
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1944-12-21

collected for the service and was
manned by Colonel Glover's regi-
ment of Marblehead fisherman. The
march was begun just before dark
on Christmas night and Washington
hoped to reach the New Jersey
shore by midnight. But the passage
Of the river was difficult and tedious
by reason of the floating ice and
high wind which repeatedly swept
the boats out of their course and it
was A o'clock before the artillery
landed.
A binding storm of hail and
snow delayed the advance of the
troops, but also concealed their
movements from the enemy, and it
was 8 o'clock before Trenton, the
destination, was reached. The Hes
slams were taken completely by
surprise. The Americans lost two
men killed and two frozen to death
on the march, in their successful
attack. The news of the victory at
Trenton was received with delight
in all parts of the country.
We had the extreme pleasure of
visiting this historic spot. 1t was in
the summer time when the Della
ware flowed quietly and TRANQUILITY
along it's course. There were no
ice foes or drifts of snow as there
were when our gallant soldiers
braved the rigors of hard winter.
We made inquiry as to just Where
the crossing took place. Those
persons, of course of the younger
generation, were not sure just ex-
actly the spot, but sufficient interest
for us attached to the locality, for
it was somewhere around where
the bridge crosses the river into
New Jersey from the south, or
Pennsylvania side. 1t is historic
ground.
The Hessians, according to author
tiles we consulted, were German sol
diers hired by the British to help
them. They were from Hesse, Ger
many. A historian says. ''They
kept the country in terror. They
were inveterate thieves and plum
dered both patriot and royalist with
out mercy. They had earned the
deep and abiding hatred of the
American soldiers by bayoneting
the wounded in the battles in which
they had been engaged"
As another winter is upon us,
history turns back to the time when
General Washington and his army
were encamped at Valley Forge.
The mention of the name at once
recalls the great suffering and pri-
vations of our peerless general and
his gallant men Their privations
were very severe. To describe them
in all their details would be impos-
sible. Men were barefoot and their
steps could be traced through the
frost and snow by their blood.
They were without clothing and
food. Washington, on Dec. %, 1777,
wrote to Congress: Men are con-
fined to hospitals or in farmers
houses for want of shoes. We have

RECOLLECTIONS

RECOLLECTIONS
How dear to my heart the scenes of my childhood,
When fond recollection presents them to view;
The old country store that stood there the corner
A place of great pleasure my boyhood once knew.
That candy filed up with things oh so tempting
Much better than anything else could tell;
Twas kept there displayed at the end of the counter
That penny stick of candy loved it so well.
Twas many times coored and looked SO attractive
And tasted good no I'll never forget,
That peppermint, cloves yes and cinnamon lemon
And hoarhound to help you, and good oh you bet
And lemon and candy striped round to behold it
Because il looked fine, and inviting to eat
II filled with joy when my Ma let me buy it.
That penny stick of candy-'twas always a treat
And then do you know of those kisses cherished
All wrapped up paper, the inside,
Which told how you loved her. those pretty dimples
Were always your pleasure and your pride.
That playmate, oh yes would give sweet morsel
A generous portion I'd give her part
And she'd share with big bite of the sweetness
OF penny stick candy dear to my heart.
These mem'ries will linger till time shall erase them
There's nothing so happy of hsorys lore
As that penny stick candy and kisses delicious
l bought in my youth at the old country store
That penny stick candy, twas lovely and dandy,
The kisses I'll forget Them ah me
Those sticks of fine candy and 'lSisses" will ever
Be fresh in my mind till my bark puts to sea-

Three Fortress Cities OF Saar
Basin Under Fire From

The U. S. third army broke in
to the rich Saar basin along a
new seven-mile front yesterday
and a full-scale battle at the Sieg-
fried line appeared near as three
main fortress cities Of Saarbruck-
en-, Saarlautern and Merzig were
brought within American artil-
lery range.
To the north the U. S. ninth
army seized three towns on the
west banks of the flooded Roer
and indie rivers, closing in on the
stronghold of Julich from three
directions, while the U. S. first
army squeezed closer to Duren,
another barrier to the Cologne
plain.
AS the Woodworking U. S. first
and ninth army battle teams
fought deeper into the enemy's
tough Roer river line, hundreds
of fighter-b ombers roared out in
close support of the ground fore
es.
