World; the presents, that He is
Gods Greatest Gift to man; the
green branches, that He gives life
everlasting; and the tree itself,
that Christ is the Tree Of Life.
The origin of the Christmas tree
dates back to German medieval
mystery plays, One of the central
features of these plays was the
Paradise tree, or Tree of Life. "
When abuses caused the prOhibi-
tion of these plays being enacted
in the churches, the symbolic Par
adise tree was taken into the
home.
In the 18th century il was Gus
tomary to decorate the tree with
white waters representing the Holy
Eucharist. The waters were later
replaced with cookies cut in the
shape Of stars, angels, hearts, flow.
ers and bells. BY 1905 decorated
Christmas trees we're very popular
in StrausbOurg They were hung
with paper roses, apples, gilded
nuts and candies.
From Germany, the tree custom
was taken to France by Princess
Helen of Mecklenburg after she
married the Duke of Orleans.
Through Prince Albert, Queen Vic
toria's husband, the Christmas tree
came to England. Remembering his
childhood in Germany, he decorat-
ed trees for his own children and
the charming custom soon spread
all over England
When Germans emigrated to
America about 1880, the beloved
Paradise tree soon became a com
mon sight in German-American
homes. The custom was picked up
by their neighbOrS and today
Christmas trees bedeck not only
most American homes but class
rooms, stores, streets and public
places generally.

Christmas Tree Legends
BY MarY Ann pienner

Next to the Crib, the most pop
uiar symbol connected with the
feast of the Nativity is the decorat-
ed evergreen tree. Every year we
buy one, trim il and place under
il the Crib and gifts, but tend TO
forget the lovely legends that add
richness and meaning to the sym
bOiic tree.
One of the earliest legends about
the tree tells us that on the night
of Christ's birth trees bore fruit
and flowers blossOmed out of sea
son. So great was natures rejOic-
ing that the stars came down and
nestled on the branches of those
trees which had no fruit. Thus
the evergreen was decorated even
on the first Christmas.
According to the legend associat-
ed with St Boniface, the evergreen
tree has rich symbolic appeal to
all mankind. The candles remind
us that Christ is the Light of the

What Christmas
Truly Means
Rev. DR.. Max Jordan

Sand the Word was made
flesh and dwelt among us"
Triumphantly, the Christmas
liturgy leads up to this passage
of the Gospel of st. John.
Throughout the year we hear
it, at the end of every Mass,
but now it stands before us in
all its majesty and splendor,
as the supreme message of sal
yation.
Christ is born! "Not of blood,
nor of the will of the flesh,
but of God" as st. John tells us.
The divine life became a reality in
the Goldman. Glow shall this hap
penn" the Blessed Mother had ask
ed And the Angel Gabriel replied:
"The divine spirit shall come upon
Thee"
This is the meaning of Christmas.
The Incarnation! The Word made
flesh! God, the eternal Father in
Heaven, the Creator OF all things,
assuming the nature of man, becom-
ing flesh and blood, a reality, tan
gible and visible.
This is the meaning of Christmas
that in the darkness of this world
the divine light is made manifest,
il only we follow the heavenly Star
of Bethlehem =. Not any of the
man-made stars which spread a SUI
perficial and artificial light but the
star of eternal life. OF this life the
Book of Wisdom says: When all
things are in quiet silence and the
night is i'm the midst of her course,
Gods almighty word leaps down
from heaven into the midst OF
the land of destruction" A."
Always this world. all human
life, truly is a 'land Of destruc-
ton" Always there is chaos when
man is not related to the eternal
orders of God. Our present day is
indeed a vivid illustration of this
truth, but ali history of mankind
reflects it.. Unless the light of heav-
en- pierces our darkness, we can
not overcome il.
The inspiring liturgy we eele-
brsfe in the Midnight Mass is 20
make Us understand that this light
must be born in our souls !. that
spiritually Christ is TO be born in
Us, as He was born in the flesh
some two thousand years ago. Man
would be helpless in this world,
were he TO face by himself the pow
ers of darkness, the evil forces
causing hate and strife, war and
revolution. Peaee-the true peace
which the world cannot give - he
can find only IL he turns TO Christ,
IL he kneeIs hvmbly al the manger

time and again in our hearts II we
are prepared 70 receive IL.
son this day the great Light
came down upon the earth, says a
prayer of the third Christmas Mass.
Christ was born into this world, to
make evident this light, to reveal
the supreme mystery of the Incar-
nation. The Word of God was made
flesh. The light of God became a
reality for us TO grasp.
''The darkness understood 1t
not" says st. John. Men who de
pend on their own, ephermar light
understand it not. But those who
throw their anchors into eternity,
who do not turn away from the
true light, they understand it and

Prince of Peace will reign forever
and ever.

Our Lighted Tree

The spiral pointed Christmas tree.
SymbOlizing the Blessed Trinity,
Was sent TO earth by God afar.
And at the top He placed a star
The star of Peace, Good Will and Light
To guide the lost, the wrong to right,
And far below our star and tree
The Babe of Bethlehem you'll see,
Surrounded by attendants of love
Sent for His care by God above.
We add the bulbs, the colored lights;
Nature the snow and dark cold nights.
When lighted tree through windows peer.
Those out tonight know God is here.

Going See Pycus Here's What Every Patient Should Know

| ing proper and sound training in
child psychiatry are sadly lack
! ing throughout the country
"Majoring" in child psychiatry
requires additional years of
training. In dealing with the
mentally mixed up child. psy-
chiatrists find it's a time-con-
suming job. He must work with
the child's parents, his teacher,
those who have close contact
with him-all as part of the
treatment"
To some, another disturbing
trend is in the drift away from
institutional pSychiatry into pri-
I.vate practice. Institutions, such
as st. Elizabeths, are finding it
more difficult to staff the wards
with competent men. Private
practice, pSychiatrists point out.
is more rewarding-financially
and personally.
The Washington psychiatrist
isa busy man. He does charity
work at local mental clinics,
consultations and tries to keep
up with his private practice. One
reported he had to call six diff
ferent psychiatrists before he
could find one who had the time
to take new patient.
The price per visit can be any,
where from SIS to $25, depending
on the patients ability to pay.
If this seems high. psychiatrists
say, the general practitioner can
see four to six patients an hour
sometimes more.
If pSychiatrists ever do find
what makes people tick, and
sometimes took, if they even
tually do have all the answers,
they might explain why some
people suddenly go of the deep
end. But more important they
could rescue those on the brink.

School Rites Omit
Religion Conflicts

References to Christ as a
Divine being were eliminated
from Christmas programs in sew
eral Prince Georges County
schools. Supt. William S. Schmidt
said today.
He said the program changes
were made after complaints by
Jewish parents that certain ma
terial in the programs conf1icted
with their religious beliefs.
Verses referring to Christ as
the Messiah were eliminated
from carols and New Testament
material originally planned for
use at Langley Park Elementary
School and at two other county
schools which Mr.. Schmidt de-
clined to identify.
Yesterday, the Rev Don c
Shaw, pastor of the Episcopal
Church of st. Michael and All
Angels, Langley Park in his
sermon, spoke of anti-SemitiC
expressions by some parents o1
children at Langley Park Ele-
mentary School and said such
expressions "are suggestive oi
underground communism or Naz
methods"
MIR. Schmidt said making the
program changes is in line with
the National Education ASsocia-
tion's policy to teach effectively
about religion without advocat-
ing or teaching any religious
creed"

something to the patient
The comas and convulsions
offered visible evidence that
something was going on. Elec-
trio shock therapy-adminis-
tered by the use of a small and
readily portable apparatus-ap-
pealed to the unframed; there
are still too many alleged psy-
chiatrists, the extent of whose
therapeutic knowledge is locked
up in their little black box"
Yet, psychiatrists emphasize,
there is no question that shock
therapies have shortened the
course of certain mental ILL

Ice-Pick Surgery.
Still another form of treat
ment. considered in some quar-
tiers as being in the last resort
bracket" is psychosurgery-bet-
ter known as ice-pick surgery.
In the operation, the, doctor cuts
fibers IN that portion of the
brain believed to be causing the
trouble. The operation produces
irreversible changes in a persons
personality.
One remarkable thing about
psychiatry in general is the lack
of child psychiatrists. 1t would
seem that very many of mans
emotional troubles begin in in
fancy-or so psychiatrists indi-
cate. Yet, for several reasons,
psychiatrists tend to stay away
from this form of psychiatry.

there is a tremendous need" for
such men in the Washington
area. He gives these reasons for
the shortage.

Anti-Union Policies

Employer opposition to labor

Taft of Brown University said
today.
He warned that a Communist

Prof Taft spoke at a meeting

ing.
Prof. Taft, author of number
Of books on labor unions, said
some employers are reputed to
have gone beyond neutrality
and shown favoritism to Com
munist unions to gain short
term advantage" by keeping
workers split.
When employers defeated a
union there were no leaders who
could keep the unions out of
the reach of Red influence, Prof.
Taft said. Later the labor move
ment got very little help from
employers in wedding out Com
munists and removing them
from from positions of inf1u-
ence, he said.

$500 Marriage Licenses,
$500 Divorces in 1853

The chances are three-to-one
that couple married in the
District during 1858 will make a
go of it.
Figures at the U. S. District
Court for the District of CO.
lumbia show over $500 couples
applied for marriage licenses
and $500 filed divorce or main
tenance suits.
Last years totals were: 10.l00
licenses and $500 breaking up
their marriages.
Although officials point out
the rate of divorce suits has
leveled since the sharp rise fol-
lowing World War II, the judges
have recommended the establish
ment of three-judge domestic
relations court to handle family
litigation. They belive such a
step would aid the litigants and
take the work load off them,
speeding up other court trials.
The judges expect 5000 civil
suits to have been filed during
1853 and 1000 criminal cases
handed over to them by the
grand juries.

Carbon Monoxide
Blamed in Deaths Of
-Four in Mired Car
BY the Associofed Press

RICHMOND, Dec. 28.-Carbon
monoXide poisoning killed four
persons found dead yesterday
morning in an automobile mired
in muddy field yesterday, DR..
G. T. Mann said today.
The State chief medical exam
liner said autopsies performed
today showed the victims re-
ceived "lethal" doses of the dead
ly gas in the 1910 model car,
stalled hubcap deep in swampy
mud approximately ITS feet from
the hard surfaced road.
The four-all of Richmond
were identified by police as Mrs.
Elizabeth May Price, 48; her
sister, Miss Eula Ann Durrette,
81; Joseph w. Benton, SO, and
his nephew, Earl c. Branner, 81.
Two Dupont employees sighted
the car early yesterday mired in
the field near the company'S
South Richmond plant.
DR.. Mann said the cars tail
pipe was pulled loose where it
was attached to the muffler and
had been held in place by a small
piece of wire. All windows were
closed with the exception of a
small broken vent window.
He said the carbon monoxide
escaping into the car from the
leak would have takep less than
20 minutes to render the four
unconscious.
Police said the ignition switch
was turned on but the motor
was not running. A comhina-
ton electric and hot-water heat
er was on.
The two men were itinerant
welders, detectives said.
Detectives said small branches
had been pulled from a nearby
pine tree and placed under the
rear wheels of the auto in an
apparent attempt to get the We
hicle from the mud hole.

choanalysis is to make the pa

Patients see the psychoanalySt
up to four times a week in hour
long sessions. The treatment can
continue for years.
'Hands-On' Treatment.
One relatively modern off,
shoot of psychoanalysis-a
hands-off type of treatment
is psychotherapy, the "hands-on"
method Psychotherapy is said to
furnish, according to one who
practices it, that certain some
thing the vanishing family doctor
used to hand out along with
pills.
The patient is reasurred. The
psychiatriSt does not tell" him
what to do. but. rather, sug-
gestS and carefully persuades.
And it could be some people
find in the psychoanalySt or in
the pSychotherapist someone
they've never had before-a
sympathetic listener.
For more serious forms of
mental illness. like deep depres-
sions. some psychiatrists are
using drugs and electricity.
Patients have been shocked"
back to normal or to a state
where the psychiatrist can en-
ploy psychotherapy.
Shock therapy came more into
use, a psychiatriSt has pointed
out, because people looked on
psychoanalysis and psychoterapy
with some suspicion. The two
were intangible" and people
wanted quick results. They
wanted obvious proof" some
thing was done for the patient.

breaking down on the part of
the public of their previous fears
of mental disorder. Through re-
turning soldiers the public has
learned that emotional difficult
ties, major or minor, may oc-
cur in anybody. particularly
under stress and that there is
nothing shameful or specially
mysterious or incurable about
them
The practice is divided into
subspecialities. These include
psychoanalysis: d m n istrative
psychiatry; clinical psychiatry;
institutional psychiatry and child
psychiatry.
PsychoalanysiS is probably the
best known method of treatment
in psychiatrS S-and also the most
joked about. The pSychoanalyst
is still using his well-known
couch, while in some cases, a
chair serves the same purpose.
Reason for the couch-which
started with DR.. Sigmund Freud
is to give the patient complete
relaxation. It also serves to re-
move the doctor from view.
AS the patient talks of day-to-
day problems. his relationships
with people, childhood memories,
or dreams, the psychiatriSt at
tempts to pick up threads of hid
den desires and conflict. Before
hand, the psychiatrist tells the
patient its best to tell everything
it'll help them both.

They don't approve of them and
never will.
Yet, there is the patient who
seeks a psychiatrist much as he
would a doctor right after the
first Sneeze or fall. A prominent
local psychiatrist feels it's a
growing fad among the sophisti-
Gated to pay weekly visits to a
psychiatrist.
In the Washington area there
are about 400 psychiatrists. They
are practicing privately. in in
StitutionS, in clinics and some
times in all three. They engage
in teaching, research, and in
veStigative work for the Federal
hospitals, the medical schools
and privately.
The number of psychiatrists
has rapidly increased here since
the end of World War II. Some
230 psychiatrists were registered
at that time.
The increase started when a
number of psychiatrists left the
service while stationed at install
lationS. like Walter Reed Hos
pital. They settled here and en-
tered the local medical field.
PSychiatry in general has been
given a big lift after World War

of mental cases produced by war.
