Mcdaniel, born in Washington

and stacks up as heavy box office
draw, with ringsiders anxious to get
a gander at the sensation who gave
Perry one of the worst beatings OF

Personalities and traditions asso- ciated with Christmas, vending their way through folklore and history, may be likened into trimmings upon a huge and fanciful Christmas tree.
 Approaching the central climax of ,the Nativity Scene, pre-Christian peoples and symbols crowd the low CT branches; Arch-Druids advance bearing boughs of mistletoe to sym bolize the Divine blessing; palm branches from Egypt and the glow ing Yule log of Northern peoples be- speak of the winter solstice; nine branched candelabra of Hanukkah represent Judaism, and Roman pom tiffs proclaim the festival of Sat- urnslia time for gift-giving and gaiety.
 The Holy Infant lies within His Manager hovered by Mary, Joseph, and watchful angels; reverential shepherds stand by and Wise Men, bearing gifts, kneel in adoration. Legend reports that generations of patriarchs awaited the Star of Beati- tude. Epiphany is the day of gift giving in many lands and, in Spain, the Wise Men bestow gifts as they travel to Bethlehem on Epiphany eve.
 Santa Claus, with his traditional paraphernalia, stands beside the real St. Nicholas surrounded by an ascending swirl of gift-bearing satel- lites; Italian Befana and Russian Babouska, awaited with eagerness by children of their respective coun- tries; Christkind--from whom Ger man children receive presents; Tan te Aria of Franche- -Comte; the Mag ic Mule of Syrian legend, and the Youngest Camel who, exhausted by the hastening Wise Men, was blessed with immortality by the Christ Child.

Hymns in honor of the nativity were written as early as the 4th century, but those monotonous church chants neither properly nor musically ante-date our modern carols. Experimentation with modal and intervallic relationship during the 18th century, together with the folk songs and minstrelsy of the times, made definite contributions to the traditions and popularity of Christmas music.
 Puritan England forbade public performance of carols; so for a while they travelled underground" by word of mouth, and broad sheets,' printed annually, served to preserve the texts with variance of accuracy.
 With the restoration of English royalty voided the Roundhead Par liament's abolition of Christmas fes- tivities, residents of colonial Boston placed lighted candles in their win dows to welcome the Waits who, re suming the Old English tradition went about the city singing carols on Christmas Eve:
 Tt came upon the midnight clear
