CANDLES ON XMAS
HAVE Been USED
BY MANY PEOPLE

1t would be astonishing, indeed,
if no candles appeared in homes
throughout the nation on Christ
mas Eve. The legend which sur
rounds the custom is believed to
have started in Ireland.
There on Christmas Eve a large
candle was burned which could be
snuffed out only by one named
Mary. AS the Irish put it: who
knows, on some Christmas Eve,
Jesus and Mary and Joseph may
come again, not to Palestine, but
to the Holy Isle on the fartherest'
edge of Europe?"
Their first use for Christmas is
not recorded in the annals of any
nation, but that the Christ Child
Candle" burned in the window of
Christmas Eve is, according to an
old legend, placed there to light
His way if He makes an earthly
visitation and in atonement for the
night of His birth when there was
no room for Him.

Also among the legends is one
about hayberry candles burned on
Christmas.
During the early history of our
country, animal fats were relatively
scarce. The branches of the bay
berry shrub were covered with wax
giving berries and children were
given the task of gathering the ber-
ries when candles had to be made
so that the animal fats could be
conserved.
According to tradition, one who
burned bayberry candle on Christ
mas Eve or Christmas Day would
have long life and happy one.
An old verse reads
ITO learn your luck for the year
they say,
Burn a bayberry dip on Christ
mas day.
If the flame burns bright and
the light shines clear,
Good luck will be yours through
out the year."

 He is Roman Rybarski, 55, father of seven, who said fellow workers al the Lindley mine of the Pittsburgh Consolidation Coal Company think his idea is a good one.
 Its my personal opinion that ii John L. and his lieutenants would go payless for one pay day, they could buy us miners a lot of bread, Rybarskt declared.
 They could take their pay and spend it on food and distribute it They wouldn't go hungry. And why couldn't they sacrifice their pay fol a few days?
 we miners have had lot of pay less paydays since last June

DAVIDS OVERCOME ONLY FOE TO STOP
 THEM-THE WEATHER

The long-awaited House of David basketball quintet finally arrived in Juneau late this afternoon. after battling with a snow storm which set them down at Gustavus several hours following their takeoff from Anchorage.
 The only opponent able to squelcf the famous bearded cagers during their Alaska tour has been old man weather. They couldn't make 1t north from Ketchikan week ago having to return to Seattle and fly direct to Fairbanks.
 Their game here, to be against two Channel teams, was set for tonight and this afternoon it looked as II weather had stopped everything. But Pacific Northern Airilnes came through, and tonight boards ana basketballs will fly.
 In the meantime, game officials have squeezed in 13 more seats into the high school gymnasium stands, which are now on sale at Juneau Drug Store, POP Front St. After they're gone, general admission only will be available. which means standing room only. The game be- gins at 7:30 o'clock.
 Although no reports have come in on how the bearded five cayorted in Fairbanks and Anchorage, they've won handily all along the northern front so far, furnishing pa- irons with plenty of laughs and gasps at trick shots and ball hand ling.
 Their 6 foot inches center named George Wagner, is lay-in man, and piles up most of the David's points. In Ketchikan they played a different team each quar- ter, the Davids horsing around more against some teams than others, but winning all quarters ex- cept against the Elks, who played last.
 Tn Prince Rupert they raineo basketballs from all over the flool into the basket, outclassing tht locals easily and playing pranks or the officials until the latter were almost driven crazy.

 GOAL STRIKE:
One of Two Issues Which May Gle ar Way for
 Reaching Agreement

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10-tR-A court decision cast doubt today or the legality of four of John L. Lewis contract demands, and a top otli- cial expressed hope this might speed an agreement ending the soft coal strike.
 NLRB General Counsel Robert N Denham said the ruling by Fed eral Judge Richmond B. Keech might narrow the area Of disagree ment between the United Mine Workers president and the nations coal operators-thus finally clearing the way to settlement of their long dispute.
 Some sources suggested, however that by stiffening the miners resis- tance it might have just the oppo- site effect.
 It was at Denham's request that Judge Keech agreed late yesterday to issue an injunction against union contract demands which mine owners complained were illegal.
 All four of the contract terms in- volved were contained in the coa- agreements which expired last June 30-setting off the dispute which eliminated this week in the Walkout of 370.000 UNIV members.
