That's what a Russian would say
to you if you were in Russia on
Christmas day and he wished to eX-
tend the seasons greetings.
The phrase is the Russians way
of saying: Merry Christmas.
In the past, the Russians Christ
mas was closely associated with
his church; but how the day is OBJ
served now that the religious life
has been subjugated in the Soviet,
one would have to be behind the
''iron curtain" to know.
But it was not always like that.
In other days, the Russian Christ
mas was much like the Ukrainian.
There was a Santa Claus known as
"Dedushka Moroz' and there were
traditional gifts Of red boots for
children and golden slippers for
young girls.
In certain parts of the country
the "baboushka" (grandmother)
was the legendary dispenser of
gifts. According to one story, she
rcpented of unkindness and ever
since has tried to make amends
by distributing gifts to children at
Christmas.

Christmas has rolled around once
again and Santa Claus with round
red cheeks, Jolly smile and chunky
figure looks the same as he did
nearly so years ago.
His creator was Thomas Mast,
one Of Americas greatest cartoon
lists. During the early 1905 he was
asked to illustrate Clement Clark
Moore's poem, A Visit to St.
Nicholas, better known to us as
"'Twas The Night Before Christ
mas" The result was Santa Claus
as we know him.
Santa's creator was born in
Bavaria in 1870, son of a must
clan in a Bavarian army band.
When he was a fat little boy Of
six, Thomas father left Ger
many TO enlist in the United
States navy, and Thomas
mother Brought the boy to New

Continues to Puzzle

WEOCa eTl Scholars

Once again Christendom sees the
Star of Bethlehem and, like the
Wise Men Of old, rejoices with eX-
ceeding great joy.
Astronomers have discounted pos
sibilities that the star may have
been a natural phenomenon since
such phenomena occur too far from
the earth to serve as any sort Of
local guide. Modern opinion is, how
ever, inclined to hold that there was
a Star - although the story prob
ably has been touched by Oriental
imagery.
St. Matthew suggests that even
the Wise Men may have lost sight
of the star while they were in Je-
rusalem; hence, they rejoiced when
it reappeared to their vision as
they approached the Manger of
Bethlehem.
Come to think of it, astronomers
have sought an astronomically au-
thentic star - and found it not;
historians have sought an historic
ally human Jesus of Nazareth
and are still arguing whether or
not they have found Him; even
Jealous theologians, striving to
harmonic messianic and eschato-
logical theories with the Elusive
historical and human Jesus, have
sometimes lost sight of the Babe
in the Manager Who from His lowly
stable draws unto Himself all who
are weary and heavy-laden.
Pressing close to that sacred
Manager, Christendom glimpses the
Ster of Bethlehem once more and
rejoices in the light of righteous
ness and peace which has con
quered every tyranny that evil men
could think of, the light that
shineth in the darkness and shall
not fail

York to live.

Along about the time stocky Tom
my was Is he landed his first job as
an illustrator for Leslie's Weekly at
81 a week. By the time he was 20
he was sent to England by the New
York Illustrated News to sketch
the Heenan-Sayers fight, an out
standing sports event of the day.
In 1862 he joined the staff of
Harper's Weekly and began the Sc
ries of emblematic drawings which
continued throughout the Civil War.
From those he created certain
Trademarks that have been the in
spiration of cartoonists down to the
present-notably the Republican
elephant and the Democrat donkey.
Famous as the political symbols
are today, Nast's Santa Claus prob
ably holds first place in the hearts
of Americans. Before Nast's day,
a few artists had drawn Santa on
one occasion or another, but could
not seem to agree on how the old
gentleman should look.
Mast changed all that.
He located Santa's home at
the North Pole and gave him a
sleigh drawn by reindeer. He
drew the familiar, fat, merry
old fellow with red cheeks and
white beard, dressed in red,
wearing a cap and boots, carry
ing a pack of toys and smoking
q short pipe.
The artist then gave Santa q
spy-glass so that during the year
he might pick out the good children
from the bad, and also a big book
in which to write their names and
keep their records.
This conception of Santa Claus
first appeared in 1868. Since that
time, the pictured Santa has been
the same, although the spy-glass
and pipe seem to have been
dropped by the way.
