adamant however, that no colored lights,
tinsel or Santa Claus be included because they
were not part of the old festivities.
Throughout the fortnight, coStumed
carolers representing churches, clubs, musical
societies and schools will stroll through the
streets of the old city and several candlelight
concerts of Christmas music will be given at
the Governors Palace. Community singing will
also be an activity on the public green's, at
the lodge and at Chownings Tavern. Cos
TUNED walters in the restored taverns are
versatile employees of Colonial Williamsburg,
who lead carols and spirituals as they serve
guests
Also included in the hospitality are recep-
lions to be held in several historic buildings
and a nearby plantation. Among these is
the Christmas Day open house at the recon-
structed Capitol where Virginia's General
Assembly convened during most of the period
that the town served as the seat of Colonial
government 1889 to 1890. In this building,
George Washington was applauded by fellow
burgesses for his part in the French and In
dian War; Patrick Henry defiantly protested
the Stamp Act, and George Mason'S Virginia
Bill of Rights became law.
On December 20, coStumed performers
will present 18th century dances by candle
light at the Capitol in the House Of BurgesSeS
Chamber. The season will end with bonfire
of discarded Christmas trees and with fire

Just before the event, Opris
explained later. the editor of the

said he wanted to escape his

editor agreed to help him find
refuge in England.
II remember hardly anything
about the race. All knew as
jumped the last hurdle was that
the prize for me was liberty
Opris said.
The crowd cheered the winner
P. B. Hildreth of Britain. While
the attention of the Communist
officials who accompanied Iron
Curtain athletes to the meet was
distracted, Opris slipped to the
dressing room and changed
clothes. Then he hurried out
of the stadium.
