On the Air
COLLAPSE Was Inevitable
For Tvs Filing System
By Horry Macarthur

At the risk Of being a bore by
f1ogging a deceased equine Cor
even a dead horse), we'll have to
go back into the awards matter
again. You are, in fact, about
to see a man blackball himself
as a member of the nominating
group of the Academy of Tele-
vision Arts and Sciences, a west
coast society not to be confused
with the Academy of Radio and
Television Arts and Sciences.
The ATAS, "a non-profit cor
poration dedicated to the ad-
vancement of television," gives
annual Emmy Awards. The
ARTAS awards are named
Michael. 1t is the Emmys which
are disturbing the peace around
here right now. The nominating
ballot arrived in the mail the
other day.
It is a forbidding document. It
asks a man to make his choice
for best dramatic program. sit
uation comedy, variety program,
public affairs programs, mystery.
action or adventure program. au-
dience participating, quiz or
panel program, children's pro-
gram. actor, actress. comedian,
comedienne and most outstand-
ing personality.
This is as sublime a specimen
of the ridiculous as has turned
up around here in some time.
There are. for example, 80 pos
sibilities for nomination as best
dramatic program. Studio One,
"Celanese Theater," "Television
Playhouse" "Television Theater''
and Robert Montgomery Pre-
sents" are listed, all right. So
are some startling competitors
The First Hundred Years. "
Guiding Light" "One Mans
Family" and Search for To-
morrow" to note few.
The situation comedy bracket
isn't so bad. Each of the 25
shows listed is a situation COM
edy, alright. Of course, "The
Ruggles" got left out. Instead
of competing with II Love Lucy"
it's over in the dramatic pro-
gram list, bucking "Celanese
Theater."
The variety program classif1-
cation is a sort of catch-all.
There are a. possibilities, in
Guiding Milton Berle's situation
comedy show and "Voice of Fire
stone" a program of classical
and semiclassical music. And
right next to Hit Parade" on
the list is Hollywood Screen
Test" a dramatic program.
The choice for best public
affairs program is a real dilly
on the ATAS ballot. You never
saw so many birds of different
feather flocking together. Have

though she believed that he did

deeper sorrow.
He tried to dismiss these dis

in the desk for an envelope. He
wanted to put the bonus money

take it to the bank. But he could
find no envelope. Then he saw a
small white one. 1t was marked:

CHURCH. The collection envelope.
Well, no matter. He could use
that. Sara would have another in
her purse TO use for tomorrow's
Christmas collection. He folded
the bill, stuck il in the envelope,
which he put in his pants pocket.
Without calling to Sara, he left
the house and walked quickly down

An old Irish belief considers ey-

blessed and fortunate. These chill
dren were said TO have the power
of seeing spirits, and even com
manding them. Another legend has
to do with those entering Paradise
on Christmas Eve. Any person dy-
ing at midnight was believed to
enter Heaven at once, because that
is the one time during the year
when the gates of Paradise are
open.
On Twelfth Night in Ireland it
was the custom to set up, as high
as possible, sieve of oats. In it a
dozen candles were placed with a

lighted. This was in memory of our

Irish Christmas Customs
BY Lee Field

Ireland, country that has kept
the Faith intact down through the
ages, has also preserved many an
cient Christmas customs.
Many are the legends told about
st. Patrick, who brought the ceIe-
bration of Christmas TO Ireland in
493. One OF these is the "St0ry of
the Hawthorne Bush" 1t seems
that when Patrick was a young
missionary in France, one Christ
mas day he was travelling around
the countryside alone and on foot.
Coming to the River Loire where
there was no bridge, he plunged
into the icy water and swan across.
He spread his mantle on the shore
to dry and where the mantle rest
ed, there grew a hawthorne bush
which by nature blooms only in
summer. When Patrick removed
his cloak, to his amazement he saw
the bush in full bloom, weighted
down with snowy and fragrant
blossoms. Since then, at Christmas
time, the bush has always blossom
ed though other bushes remain
bare. Seeking a natural explana-
tion for the phenomenon, scien-
lists assumed that the roots of the
bush were touched by warm UNI
derground spring. Investigation
showed that this was not the case
Candles, symbolizing Christ as
the Light of the world, play a very
important part in Irish Christmas
tradition. On Christmas Eve the
mother or father of the house
lights a candle and the whole fam
lily prays for its loved ones, living
and dead. In some parts of Ire
land, no one is permitted TO snuff
out the Christmas candle except
those who bear the name of Mary.
Placing lighted candles in the
window originated in Ireland dur
ing the persecution. Religion was
suppressed. Priests we're in hiding
but secretly visited the faithfuls
homes to say Mass there during the
night. 1t was the prayerful hope of
every family that, at least once, a
priest would arrive TO celebrate
Mass during the Holy Night. On
Christmas Eve, they left their doors
unlocked and placed lighted can
dies in the window to welcome and
guide any priest who might be in

four that Father Michael served as
pastor.
Slender and patient faced, he
stood at the altar rail in his tiny
church. The sermon was ended;
then, as if il we're an after-thought,
he added, "And if some kind per
son really wanted TO give a great
Christmas gift, he would donate
five hundred dollars fer an organ. y
He laughed Shyly. "Of course, I'm
not asking for that amount

Father Michael paused, dreamily,
then turned to continue the Mass.
Melvin Henderson, stocky, past
middle age, glanced at his frail
wife who sat in the pew beside
him. II was almost as if he expect
ed her to make some comment, and
she did.

whispered, her eyes misty, "give

but of all the boys who died with
him in Korea"
Nonsense" Her husband turn
ed from her and gazed fixedly at
the altar, as though trying TO con
centrate on his prayers.
Nonsense, Sara" he repeated
several days later when his wife
once more broached the subject.

tolled a solemn message of mourn
ing, as if tolling for funeral. Just
as the clock struck twelve, the
bells would suddenly ring out in
Christmas JOY. This tolling from

CAA Aide Backs Merger
Of Colonial and Eastern
BY the Asseeiatsd Press

Civil Aeronautics Board Ex-
aminer Edward T. Stodola has
recommended approval of a mer-
ger Of Eastern and Colonial Air
lines.
Mr.. Stodola said Eastern al
ready has acquired control Of
Colonial, in violation Of the Civil
Aeronautics Act, but should be
allowed to buy the smaller COM
pany nevertheless.
Prior control is only one Of
the factors to be considered in
weighing the public interest" Mr..
Stodola said yesterday in a report
on proposals to merge Colonial
with various airlines.
1T has been demonstrated that
the Eastern proposal to acquire
Colonial is otherwise strongly in
the public interest.
THE board should not disap-
prove an economically sound pro-
poSal as a punitive measure for
reasons Of q prior violation unless
the facts are clearly fatal to the
application for approval"
