Much Family Fun
In Group Games

''Make it a real family Christmas
this year by having Santa pack a
few hobby supplies or games into
his pack that the whole family can
enjoy together" This suggestion
comes from E. II. Regnier, a recre-
alton specialist at the University of
Illinois.
There are many hobbies that can
help build companionship between
parents and children. Mothers and
daughters like jewelry construction
and tapestry weaving. Dad and
Junior 60 In for model-making-air-
planes, boats, trains and other items
of special interest to the male pop
ulation.
Everyone enjoys operating q
printing press. Small presses turn
out newspapers that have a real
professional look. Shellcraft and
woodburning are hobbies that pro-
duce genuinely useful articles. For
family fun, rubber-tipped darts, in
door plastic horseshoes and marble
games are excellent.
Christmas is a time of 'togeth-
erness," says Regnier. Lets cap
italize on the situation by starting
a game or hobby that will encourage
the same type of companionship the
year around"

Pagan Rites Basis
Of Many Customs

Strange as it may seem, most
American Christmas customs stem
largely from Pagan rites practiced
long before the birth of Christ.
The custom of exchanging gifts
is one of the few that springs from
the Christian era. Christmas cam
dies, bonfires and Yule logs arise
from the heather festivals observ-
ing the winter solstice, December
81, when the days begin to lengthen.
That was a time of great rejoicing
for ancient sun worshippers who
build bonfres to give strength to the
"winter sun-god."
Pre-Christian Romans ornamented
their homes with green boughs and
flowers for the Feast of Saturnalia
which began December 10. Druids
gathered mistletoe for that season,
while ancient Saxons used holly,
ivy and bay. Modern mistletoe and
holly wreaths come from those peo-
pies.
Christmas trees, too, spring from
the ancient German days when Ger
manic tribes made sacrifices to the
sacred oak tree of Odin. When the
missionary St. Boniface travelled to
Germany in the Eighth Century and
saw these celebrations he persuaded
the natives to substitute a fir tree
for the oak and to adorn il In a
tribute to the Christ Child.
During the Middle Ages the entire
Christmas season was celebrated in
equal fervor with that now shown on
Christmas day. In some lands the
celebration lasted from December
"a to January 6-Twelfth Night
and in others from December q to
February 2. BY the year 1914,
Christmas in England had become
such a wild orgy that the Puritans
forbade its celebration by law.

Christmas Music
By Bach, Handel

For a great many people the mu-
sic of Bach and Handel make diff
cult listening until Christmas
comes around. Then, suddenly, ev-
erybody starts singing and humming
tunes by the two old masters.
The reason for this is that both
Bach and Handel were church mu-
sicians. One Of their tasks was to
compose songs for church congrega-
tions to sing. They proved them
selves masters of beautiful, easily
followed melodies in their Christmas
music. Our most famous Christmas
oratories and carols came from
Bach and Handel.
How Brightly Beams the Morn
ing Star" was composed by Bach
and his Christmas Oratorio" con-
tains the themes of several other
popular chorales.
In almost every town and village
in America this Christmas a church
choir will render at least a portion
of George Frederick Handels the
Messiah" When carolers sing
"Joy to the World" they'll be sing
ing part of the Messiah" too, for
that carol comes from themes found
in the great oratorio. Handel also
composed the musical theme of
while Shepherds Watched Their
Flocks."
1t is a strange fact, but both Bach
and Handel were born in 1885, lived
for many years within thirty miles
of each other, and never met. Yet
today, the Christmas music they
wrote is sung by men, women and
children in countless churches of
many faiths all over the world.

Santa Pictured
By Thomas Mast

Thomas Mast, the famous car
toonist who created our conception
of Uncle Sam, the Republican ele-
phant and the Democratic donkey,
is also credited with giving Amer
lea its first modern DECENTRALIZATION
Of Santa Claus.
Mast first sketched his notion of
Santa Claus in 1873. This Santa was
rollicking, chubby old man smok-
ing a pipe and dressed in what
looked like a night shirt with fur
collar and cuffs. Since that day he
has grown taller and rounder, has
developed a full white beard and
mustache and has acquired the ira
dtional red suit bordered in ermine.

Most Stocks Lower,
But Many Reduce
Early Declines
BY Victor Eubonk
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Spots OF
resistance cropped up in today's
stock market, but the general course
still was downward.
AS in the preceding session, pes
simism regarding taxes, the business
outlook in the year and European
problems, with dangers stressed to-
day by British Foreign Secretary
Bevin, kept most customers op the
sidelines or inspired the further
trimming of accounts. There was
some short covering and other bus-
ing by trading contingents on the
idea that a technical comeback was
a probability.
Dealings slowed after lively
opening in which stable blocks ap-
peared Losses. running to a point
or better, were shaded in many
cases near the fourth hour and a
smattering of plus signs was in
evidence.
At 1918 lows were Bethlehem
Steel, North American Co., Para
mount Pictures, Loew's, Warner
Bros. and Twentieth Century Fox.
