From Where Came
Christmas Trees?

Like so many other Christmas
customs, the origin Of the tree
tradition is not definitely known.
One theory holds that the 9th
century missionary Boniface per-
suaded the Teutons to transfer
their worship of Odin's sacred oak
to an evergreen decorated in honor
of the Christ child.
Popular legend has it that the
first Christmas tree originated in
Egypt where the first trees used
were palm trees. Another story
says that Martin Luther decorated
a tree with candles to simulate an
evergreen shimmering with star
lit snow.
We do know the Germans did
much to popularize the use Of
Christmas trees, introducing them
into both England and America.
The German Prince Albert, con-
sort of Queen Victoria, started the
custom in England when he had a
tree for his young daughter. The
tradition crossed the Atlantic with
Hessian mercenaries during the
American Revolution.

Beauty in a tangled World
Luke, who had an ear for such
things. put into his gospel not
less than four poems connected
with the birth of Christ. OF these
the Glory in the highest is the
shortest. The others are the words
of Mary duke 1:47-55), of Fac
hariah G:67-79) and of Simeon
(chap. 2:29-32) In the R.S.V.
these are printed as poetry, as
they really are. (The reader will
note other poetic passages, but
these are the four most famous
oneS.) The church has set all
these to music many times over,
and in some churches they are
sung every week. Mary's song like
the others has been given a Latin
name, from their first words in
the Latin Bible; ''Magnificat' for
Mary's song, "Benedictus" for
Zechariah's, Gloria in excelsis'
for the angels, and 'Nunc Dimit-
it's for Simeon's. But modern
church-goers do not always real
ize that each of these poems was
called forth in some way by the
birth of Jesus. This is as it should
be. What poetry is to language

Hospital Gives
 Delinquent Accounts To Collecting Agency

Following a decision of the Valley Presbyterian Hospital board of directors, this week ap- proximately $8,000 of accounts receivable were turned over to a collection agency for legal ac- ton.
 This step has been made nec- essary by the mounting number of persons who by making no effort to pay their hospital bills, have made it very difficult for the hospital to pay it's creditors, a spokesman for the board said this week.
 This step is taken regretfully, he said, and only after consider able time and effort was expend- ed in trying to work out com promises with slow paying pa tients.
 A supplimental list of addition al accounts that are becoming "soft" is being prepared for the month of May.

FAIR ASSOCIATION
 MEETING RECESSED

The annual membership meet ing of the Matanuska Valley Fair Association, held April Is, was recessed until May 13 to per init committee of three to ex- plore present articles of incor- poration and bylaws of the as- sociation for proposed changes. Named to this committee by As sociation President Al Brooks were Jim Hurley, Claire Stock and Tom Lepak.
 During annual reports it was announced that activities of the association during the past year included the construction of a permanent exhibit building, graveling of the fairway track, leveling and additional grounds work.
 Approximately $22,OOO was spent for the new building and $1,000 in other capital improve ments. Payments on the new building were originally set up over three year period but were paid off in one year, thereby creating a deficit. Board mem bers announced a $1,000 bond held by the association has been cashed and an additional $4,000 borrowed from the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Corporation and secured by property owned by the association.

ADMINS TRATOR AT HOSPITAL RESIGNS

Lloyd Morley, Valley Presby- terian Hospital administrator, submitted his resignation to the hospital board of directors at the April 15 meeting. His resigna- ton was accepted with regrets by the board. Also resigning the same night was Jasper Skok, board member. His resignation was also accepted with regret. No replacements have yet been named.
 During reports made at the meeting it was brought out that collections the past month have been better, especially in the pri- vate-pay class. Board members attributed this to the education al program being conducted by local doctors and the admins trator. The patient load for March was 12.3 as compared with 9.7 during the month of Febru- ary.
 Members voted to hold open house from 100 to 800 pm. at the Valley Presbyterian Hospital on Sunday, May 8 in observance of National Hospital Week.
 An organizational chart, pre- pared by the personnel and pol icy committee, was accepted by the board and will be put into operation in the hospital. It was adopted to facilitate job anaylis- is and organization of depart ments.
 The hospital administrator and John Weisenberger, association president, will follow up a sug- gestion that the local hospital house two Cerebral Palsy pa tients on a yearly basis. The sug- gestion came from Robert Lewis, chairman of the worthy projects committee of the Territorial Elks The Elks would pay expenses o1 SIP per day for the two patients and supply special beds, equip ment, medicine and therapy as needed. Local physicians would be used on certain check-ur work.
