NOtEUen A Stable
In This List

Among the SurnameS OF uloee-
san clergy in the United States
having Christmas significance,
the first word that comes to
mind is "carol." True. in only
one instance is it spelled Carol
but there is also a Carel and "a
Carrolls-two of them Bishops.
Less mundane but of greater
spiritual connotation is the
name af another Bishop; Lamb.
The Diocese of Pittsburgh
besides Bishop Carroll and his
brother, the General Secretary
of the National Catholic Welfare
Conference, has a trio of An
gels. And Bishop Lamb of
Greensburg, is not far away.
Chicago has only one Angel
but boasts six CAROLS.
Neither Pittsburgh nor Chi
cago has a Bell. If you want TO
pick UP two at time, 60 to Los
Angeles or st. Louis. If one
will suit your purpose, try Al
bany, Fort Worth, Milwaukee,
Newark, New York. Scranton,
Wheeling or Worcester.
You can locate Father Christ
mas any day of the year in Prov
idence. For a tree, there is
Balsam in New Orleans. For
decorations, Berry's-but none
of them Red-in Baltimore,
Brooklyn, Detroit. Milwaukee,
New Orleans and New York.
Herolds could be summoned
from Baltimore, Brooklyn,
Crookston, Indianapolis (three
of them), Natehez, New York
and Washington. No Mary is
listed but there are four JOS
eph's-Boston, Buffalo, Grand
Rapids, Newark-and six Shep-
herds. Three of the latter are on
the West Coast - Monterey
Fresno. Los Angeles and San
Francisco - the others in Buff
alo, Davenport and Owensboro.
San Diego and San Francisco
have STAIRS, but the one Starr

number, are not far apart:
Wiseman each in Boston, Prov

But neither could he endure the
thought of another ruler in the
land.
"These men," he said to the
scribe, "call the king a babe newly

is, but they wish very much to find

essary for him to refer to the scrip
lures. He knew the prophecies,
from years of constant reading.
Nevertheless, to please the king,
he lifted his scroll and carefully
unrolled it until he came to the
words he sought. Then in a solemn
voice he read, "ARd thou, Bethle-

Herod listened intently. Half to
