Folks who had their free chest
x-ray at Windermere station loca-
tion Tuesday afternoon found the
volunteers working under the shell
ter of an umbrella-equipped table.
Later in the afternoon when the
skies really opened, the volunteers
took to cover in the x-ray bus
caxryall and the umbrella table
was moved to its doorway, protect
ing persons signing up. That UNI
brella-table, folks, was loaned by
avic-minded John Owens of Owens
Plantation.
Would you like to have some
thing valuable at no cost to you?
Sounds like a phoney, but it isn't.
It's the chest x-ray you get at abb
solutely no cost to you. All you
have to do is to step before the
x-ray machine in the big white
Christmas Seal bus when it comes
to your part O. Town, or for that
matter, wherey e it chances to be.
DR.. James P. v inkler, our director
of health, waits 1000 persons
here to get their chests x-rayed.
Out of $4,000 there really isn't
much of an excuse to total any
less, is there?
AS you go about town have you
noticed the lovely bouquets here
and there 1t seems to be an East
Cleveland custom to share ones
garden with others. Employers,
employees, neighbors, friends
bring in or send in flowers for
stores, libraries, schools, city hall.
One sees them in so many places,
adding their enchantment.

Rome, and in 47l4 Of the Julian

Saint Nicholas Was
The Bishop OF Myra

Saint Nicholas lived some 1900
years ago in Turkey where he
was for II years Bishop Of Myra.
Today, the place is known as
Demre, province of Antalya-
where his church may still be
found and one may yet hear Of
the generous acts which made
his life a great legend and gave
him the Santa Claus" character
we all know today.
1t is said that Saint Nicholas,
q man of great virtue and piety,
became the patron saint of boys
when he restored to life the sons
of a rich Asiatic, who had been
murdered by a robber-innkeeper
while they were enroute to
school at Athens. It is said that
he was warned of the crime in
a dream, but was unable to
reach the inn in time to pre-
vent the murders. He restored
the boys to life through prayer
and the murderer confessed his
crime.

Mary And Joseph
United By hnQels

According to the familiar old
carol, st. Joseph was an old man.
He probably was considerably
Older than Mary, but people may
have thought of him as being
older than he actually was be-
cause he enjoyed earnest con-
versation and the companionship
of selected friends rather than
boisterous pleasures.
When Joseph thought Of Mary,
he forgot the difference in their
ages, she was the girl he had
waited for, his beloved. They
Wre espoused-or, as we would
say, engaged-which was almost
as official as being married. His
heart scared on wings of the ap-
preaching wedding day, and
then
What Mary insisted had come
to pass, simply could not be!
Joseph wanted desperately TO
believe Mary, but such things
just didn't happen, and if they
did, they happened to somebody
else.
Much as he loved Mary,
Joseph was righteous and God
fearing man and while he could
not even think Of making her a
public example, he had just
about made up his mind to put
her away privily. That is, he
thought he had made up his
mind. In his heart, he knew he
couldn't; what would become of
her of her child
Then one night, after he had
exhausted himself with tortured
thinking, he fell asleep and the
angel of the Lord appeared to
him in a dream: saying,
Joseph, thou son of David,
fear not :"
And when Joseph awOke, he
did as the angel had bidden
him, and took Mary as his
lawful and cherished wife.
Fear not" the angel spoke
unto Joseph.
Fear not" the angel had de-
clared unto Mary.
Fear not the angel said unto
the shepherds of Bethlehem.

Keeping Christmas just
Means A Lot OF Thinqs

We Americans could do no
better than to learn how to keep
Christmas.
Long ago Henry Van Dyke
wrote:
9Are you willing to forget
what you have done for other
people, and remember what
other people have done for you;
to ignore what the world owes
you, and to think what you owe
the world; to close your book of
complaints against the universe.
and look around you for place
where you can sow a few seeds
of happiness-then you can keep
Christmas"
The secret Of keeping Christ
mas is to be found in doing
something for someone without
expectation of return. To give
without expectation of return is
the spirit cf Christmas.

Penance is also a feature of
Hindu observances, solemnized
in accordance with the ancient
lunar calendar during the spring
equinox.
The Moslem calendar, which
dates from 626 A. D., is unique,
since the twelve months of the
year begin with the approximate
new moon without any calcula-
tons to keep them geared to the
seasonal equinoxes. Thus, the
months-and New Years, too -
rcstrograde through the entire
year in about 33 years.

Use inconspicuous wires to hold
the tree securely upright. The
tree should be so placed that it
will not obstruct n doorway which
might be used to escape from 4
room should fire break out.
Keep open fame decorations,
like candies, away from the tree,
curtains or tiammable decorations.
Better still, use electric lights in
stead. And check your lights be-
fore placing them on the tree to
be sure wiring and light sockets
are in good condition.
When indoors, Christmas
tree dries out rapidly with in
creased fire hazard the result.
Take it down after Christmas just
as soon as possible. December 26

could hardly end on a happier
note than Henrietta's holiday
and summer should be easier to
simmer through as result of
the pictures inevitably extended
run.
Holiday for Henrietta" is a
satire on the movies, than which
no theme lends itself SO merrily
to burlesque. It is played by one
of those talented French casts
whose members could not ask a
more delicious opportunity to
travesty its way of earning its
daily bread.
Heading this group are Dany
RobiA, Michel Auclair and Hide
garde Neff. Theirs are the major
roles but even the performers in
the minor ones know, and use
gaily, all the tricks of exuding a
poisonous charm. The single res
ervation with which they may
leave moviegoers is that Henri
etta's holiday sometimes seems
a bit overlong.

frenzied believer in the melodra-
matte clicheS, sex, homicide.
nudity, phantom of the-opera
chases, etc.
The other is writer of dig
nifty. urbanity. gentleness whose
idea of a holiday for a Paris
midinette is tender, quiet ro-
mantle interlude.
Duvivier's device is to shoot
the different scenes as each au-
thor would write them, letting
the corn sprout wildly and pray
ing the players survive their or
deal. The intervals between Sc
quences are occupied with the
scornful clashes of the writing
pair. These are frequently fun

Mile. Robin and her acting as

It would be madness to at
tempt a synopsis of Holiday
for Henrietta" save to say it is
a movie within a movie that
covers every conceivable aspect
of the lives of people who make
movies. Miss Robin is its hero
inc. a pretty young Parisienne
at the mercy of two movie writ
ers who know precisely what
kind of holiday would be best for
a girl like her.
Whereas her own simple
yearning is for an all-Bastille
day date with her young man,
this is the one thing that she is
denied. Instead, she finds her
self impersonating famous

This is the sort of material
that an inspired director and
cast can turn into extravagant
parody of all the hokum which
has manacled the movies as an
art since the days of Pearl White.
Duvivier is just such all inspired
director and his performers are
never more than one-sixteenth
inch behind.

approaching summer doldrumS
has brought Edith Piaf to the
Embassy Room for a two-week
stay. This is her first extended
visit here-she was at the Shore
ham for a one-night stand bene-
|fit performance several years
|ago-and if you haven't encoun-
tered her yet, you should be well
coming the opportunity.
Miss Piaf was in the van OF
what since has become a long
line of accented lasses chanting
the joys and sorrows of amour in
Paris. None of these subsequent
invaders has managed, however
to match Miss Piaf's special ap-
peal. This is understandable, be-
cause it is an elusive appeal, not
easily described.
** Il
One element of it is the sing
er's absolute and unmistakable
Frenchness. If you stepped out
of a rocket at a Spaceport on
Mars and came face-to-face with
Edith Piaf for the first time, you
would know her Paris origin be-
fore she opened her mouth

the Embassy Room, dramatically
clad in simple black, she brings
all of Paris right with her. She's
as utterly Gallo as all nine OF
Les Compagnons de la Chanson

Another aspect of Miss Piaf's
appeal is the rare combination
she seems to be of canine waif
and woman wise in the ways OF
the world. She also has consid-
cradle dramatic power and the
witchery to weave a spell. Her
voice has a tear in it, but vocal
tricks have less to do with a
iPiaf song than some other
things. Eloquent eyes and ex-
pressive hands play their part
too in that spell-weaving.

Miss Piaf. incidentally, makes
only a small concession to the
language barrier. She precedes
each number with a brief an
nouncement in English OF its
nature and content. This is all
that is necessary; her expressive
delivery takes it from there.
