The Russians can bring them in

powers can bring them in over
the Soviet blockade to western
Berlin is via the airlift. But the
airlift is crowded to capacity
with more important things.

ty at the home of Mrs. Charles

added beauty.
The short business session was
followed by the christmas Sto-

Single contests and group
games for which prizes were
awarded, also afforded pleasure,
after which each one present re-
ceived a gift from the brightly
lighted tree in the solarium.

Hatten presided over the punch
bowl and Others assisted in serv-

Carols, Among Oldest forms Of Music,
Have Survived Centuries OF Censure

old drinking tunes were en-
ployed for the sacred words de-
noting the birth Of Christine ir-
reverence being intended, since
carols were usually regarded as
festive music.
The custom of singing carols
from door to door is almost as
old as the carols themselves. The
first form was that Of the watch
maintained in nearly all English
medieval cities, The men of the
watch would sing carols accom-
panied by d ~flageolet and they
would collect pence from the
gentry. In the West Riding of
Yorkshire today children parade
from house to house with "milly"
boxes (milady boxes in which
there is a crib and a recumbent
babe and into which the money
offered them is placed.
Rated among the most famous
Christmas carols is while Shep-
herds Watch Their Flocks by
Night" written by Nahum Tate in
1903.
Charles Wesley in the eigh-
teenth century wrote "Hark, How
All the Welkin Rings" later par
APPRAISED to "Hark. the Herald
Angels Sing" Good King Wence-
las" which denotes the Christmas
charity of the Bohemian monarch
also ranks high. The repertoire
increased as the carol custom
spread through Europe to become
known as Noels in France, and
Wiegenlied in Germany.

BRITAIN MAKES USE OF

women can be very useful in
helping Britons understand how

says Sir Stafford Grips, tn e
nations economics minister. Ad-
dressing a recent meeting Of la
Dor party and trade union wom-
en-, Sir Stafford smilingly noted:
1T may be that men are wrong
in accusing women of being Cos
sips, but from the point of view
of putting across the true story
of our problems, our efforts and
our successes, who can do it
better than the woman in those
casual and intimate talks that
she has with friends?"

THAT GUN MAY BE A KNIFE

BA~NGKOK-AP)-Even if the
the weapon in the hands of a
holdup man is obviously only a
wooden imitation of a pistol,
Eangkok's citizens hesitate to
offer any resistance. The toy
guns too often have deadly dag
ger blades concealed in their
handles.
The tricky wooden pistols, on
sale in Bankok's many bazaars,
are skillful limitations of auto
matte pistols, carved from hard
wood and painted blue-black.
Their barrels act as sheaths that
can be quickly stripped from
dagger blades set in the handle
grips.

offered for them in the black
market. Although the Russians
have declared western marks il
legal, even the Germans of the
Soviet sector want to get their
hands on the coveted money al
premium rates.
Western authorities also expect
that the Russians will offer
Christmas trees to western Ber-
lin on-Communists as bait to
come into the Soviet sector of the
city to register for rations. Pre-
vious attempts to win over the
people of the U. S., British and
French sectors of the city were
made with food and fuel rations,
but with only seant success.

won't be nearly enough trees &c

So the u. S. Army's German
Youth Administration is planning
community Christmas parties for
10000 German children in the
| American sector of the city.
About $4,000 and large contribu-
tions of sweets and other articles
are being collected for this pur-
pose from the American popula-
ton.
In addition. the air life is ex-
pected to bring in enough trees
for church and community cele-
brations in the blockaded two

Carols, dear to everyone al
Christmas time because of til .
simple emotions they evoke, are
among the oldest forms of music
The first Of them was the caro-.
Of the Heavenly Host over tbs
plains of Bethlehem Uuke
11:13-14 but the earliest manu-
script of a carol is found in the
British Museum in London exc
cuted in the thirteenth century.
The carol is perhaps the earli-
est form of the song and dance
known to man. the derivation OF
the word itself being somewhat
uncertain.
The more accepted derivatives
are cantare. the Latin word for
ito sing" and rola which is a
Joyous interjeetion. Some must
cologists, however, find a differ
ent Interpretation and contend
that the word stems from the
early word for chorus. Even more
intriguing is the belief by some
students that there is a relation
ship between druidical rites at
Stonehenge in England, that mys-
tic ring of monoliths. Carol is
seen to be a vulgarization of Kor-
oil, a circle, which came to mean
a ring dance. Early records con-
tain references to Stonehenge as
the carol"
The first book of carols w a 5
authorised by my lord of Lon
dom in 1862 and bore the title
page "Christenmasse Carowles,"
Some Of these were legendary
and were drawn from the Cow
entry Mystery Play Joseph Was
an Old Man" also from some of
the English folk tunes. used as
the vehicle for words relating to
the Christ Child.
There seems little doubt that
there is q pagan throwbaek to the
carols carried into the Christian
church. Religious dances we're of
record in Spain in the fifth CEN
tury when the choir boys
equipped with castanets capered,
singing, around the lectern.
Carolling reached its musical
height during the days of the Tu-
doris although there is an historic
reference in 1923 to the fact that
when Henry VIII lay very i'll he
forbade carols, bells and merry
making"
The Puritans endeavored to dc
away with carols, holding that
they had no religious significance
and the Scottish people at an even
earlier date had tried to suppress
the lighter carols considerine
them "pooish' and "pernicious.'
As time went along, there was
a tendency to widen the horizon
of the carol and some of the good
