PITTSBURGH = Bro. Tho
mas Cubelic, we'll known men,
ber Of CF'U Lodge 234, passed
away on Friday, October 25,
1857.
Many relatives and friends
were received at the Paul Ste
phens Funeral Home (former-
ly Lovrencic), where funeral
services took place on Tues
day, October 20, at $3.50 am.
Solemn Requiem High Mass
was said at st. Nicholas R. C.

The late bro. Cubelic was
born in Grubisno Polje,

to the US. in 1910. He mar
ried Anna Rauch in 1916
and entered the tavern bus
mess prior to the prohibi-
ton days. His business has
been located at the present

1886.
Bro. Cubelic had been a
member of the Croatian Fra

buritza player in his earlier
years and many of the men,
with whom he had played,

Timmy one of the happiest
little boys for a short period
of about three weeks.
We are sorry to say that
Timmy passed away on No

God called upon our little
brother and took him away
from all his sufferings, his
family and friends. He was
laid to rest on Tuesday,
November 5, at St. Johns
Cemetery, Brookvale.
The funeral procession was
large, beautiful and very,
very sad, with Timmy's
schoolmates and Nest 81
members acting as flower
girls and pallbearers.
Timmy's little girl friend,
Kathleen Parish, was dressed
as a bride in a white dress and
crown and carried a Broken
Heart spray of red and white
roses. All the little flower
girls were dressed in white
dresses and carried white
flowers.
Our little nest member was
also a member Of St. Johns
r. c.. Church of Connellsville,
and a student at Dunbar
Twp. Grade School in Leisen-
ring s.
He is survived by his pa
rents, one sister, Judith
Ann, and grandparents, Mr..
and Mrs. Mike Savage, and

afraid to have their newborn
baptized, for fear of losing
their positions, and without
that the whole family would
starve.
Glory To God In High
Officially, to be sure, there
is no law against the church,
Christmas or Santa Claus, but
a government employe need
try only once not to come to
work on Christmas Day, or
send his children to church,
and see what happens!
Some day, those in power
will realize that they cannot
within or without the law
fight the goodness of God in
ones heart and endure for
long. Many have tried it be-
fore, and failed.
To destroy faith in the
FatherhOod of God is to de-
stroy the faith in the Bro
therhood of Man. Life with
out either of these is a
farce, but life without both
is no life at all.
Here, in this blessed coun-
try of ours, we know Christ
mas, because we live it.
Some day, there will be
Christmas for all the peoples
all over the world.
Some day, the carols will be
sung everywhere in the spirit
of the day the Christ Child
was born and the Angels were
singing: GLORY to God in the
High, and Peace on Earth to
Men of Good Will"
Merry Christmas, friends!

prunes, mace, chopped suet,
etc., until it eventually evolved
into the traditional plum
pudding.
Mince pie is also a deci-
dedly British addition to
the Christmas feast. AS
early as 1896, "shrid pye",
or shredded pie, was pop
ular.
The delicacy symbolizes the
gifts of the Wise Men to the
Christ child, representing q
compound Of the worlds
choicest spices.
What Hail! Wassail!
Another popular custom,
that of inviting friends and
relatives in for cocktails dur
ing the holiday season, dates
back to the old English prac-
tice of "wassailing".
In Elizabethan times, no
celebration was com p | E t e
without the wassail bowl
filled to the brim with hot
pungent ale - a CHEEKY invi-
tation to all to come in and
help celebrate the Yule.
Then, as the guests
raised their steaming mugs
in a toast to Christmas, the
merry cry of "What Hail!
Wassail!" would ring joy
ously through the hall.
Merry Christmas to all
members and friends of the
Croatian Fraternal Union in
the United States and Cana
da.

or in what land it was being
observed, Christmas has al
ways been a time of family re-
union and feasting.
In the time of the Sax
ons, the festive board was
spread with it's "bord-cloth"
and the guests waited for
the two specialties that
marked Christmas: The
peacock and the boar's
head.s
The peacock, always borne
to the table by a lady, perhaps
the most beautiful of the fe-
male guests, sometimes ar
rived in the form of a pie,
with the head of a bird pro-
truding from one side of the
crust, and it's widespread tail
from the other.
More often, the bird was
skinned, stuffed with herbs,
and roasted. Just before it
was served, the skin was put
back on.
Mince Pie British
The English Christmas
feast of that era ended always
with a dish unknown to mod
ern times.
It was called "frumenty"
and consisted of wheat boiled
till the grains burst. When the
mixture was cool ii was
strained and boiled again with
broth or milk and yolks of
eggs.
AS the years passed, more
imaginative cooks added 9th
er ingredients, such as raisins,

time?
Oh, yes! Only Saint Nj
cholas really came on De-
cember 9Th to fill our stock
ings with some gifts, and
merely helped the Little
Child take care of us on
Christmas Day.
We would sing carols, going
from house to house and
from village to village, until
we had received more pres
ents than we could carry.
In the evening of Christmas
Day, we would slip unob-
served into the village inn,
where we would sometimes
even get a few coins of money
for singing carols.
A Sad But True Story
The memories of those hap
py times came back to me the
other day as | listened to a
friend who was relating to me
the story of the old country
as he saw and heard it while
visiting relatives in the home
land last summer.
The story was a sad one.
They still have Christmas
over there, and churches
and Midnight Mass, but not
for all the people, not for
all the children.
Some children are not al
lowed to celebrate Christmas
Day, receive or give presents,
or even go to church, because
their parents are working for
the government, on federal,
state, county, or city jobs.

Thus we find the true SYM
bolism of the Yule Log and
the reason why Christmas is
often referred to as "Yule-
tide.
Dutch Santer klass
The English, however, are
not the only ones to leave us
enduring traditions.
Santa Claus" is from the
Dutch whose "Santer Klass"
was a contraction of Saint
Nicholas, patron saint of chill
dren. The Dutch also gave us
the charming custom of hang
ing children's stockings in an
ticipation of the jolly saints
annual visit.
And what Yuletide cele-
bration would be complete
without the traditional
Christmas tree: 1t is to the
Old Teutonic belief that the
trees of the forest were in
habited by god-like spirits,
that we are indebted for
this gay holiday decoration.
In order to appease these
Spirits, the Germ a n s
brought the tree into their
homes to show them they
were welcome at the Winter
Solstice ceremonies.
The use of trinkets on the
tree dates from early Roman
days when masks Of Bacchus
were hung on trees to impart
fertility to those who gazed
upon them.

might, but no murmur of hu-
man voices came to his ears,
nor the familiar padding
sound of bare feet on board.
Nothing, in fact, that he
could trace to human sources
but the heavy snoring Of the
sleeping helmsman.
Apprehension turned into
fear. Pedro's heart froze as
the realization dawned that
out of the 40 men and boys
aboard the ship, he alone
was awake.
Desperately the boy looked
seaward for assurance, and
found none. Even the ghostly
silhouette of the Nina had
disappeared. Pedro tightened
his grip on the tiller, and
looked frantically war d S
the sandglass. There, at least,
was some comfort.
Only a little while now and
sands would be run out. Then
he would launch into his mid
night ditty. That surely would
wake someone.
The Resounding Crash
II must stick it out"
thought Pedro, II must. If
they think I'm scared they'll
laugh at me and never give
me another chance at the till
er, maybe. There's not long
to go now. God help me, what
is that?"
Out Of the night, a distant
booming came to his ears,
muffled but persistent, and
seeming to draw nearer.
1T must be the wind, "
thought Pedro. 81 can wake
the helmsman. But no-the
billoWing of the sails has not
changed. What can it be? If
only that sand would run a
little faster!"
The booming increased in
volume, and Pedro began to
feel a rising panic. AS he
clung to the great tiller, fear
streamed in icy rivulets down
his face, and his eyes became
glued to the sandglass like
those of a bird hypnotized by
a snake.
; At last, the grains set
tied in the base of the glass.
Pedro snatched it up and
took a deep breath for his
song: the song announcing
the first Christmas in the
New World.
Even as he did so there was
a crash, so resounding that
it might be heard a league
off" The tiller shuddered and
trembled under his grip as if
caught in the strain of a
mighty current, and t h c
booming turned into the thun.
derous roaring of waves hurl.
ing themselves against the
hull of a grounded ship.

Darling Of Palladium
Being on the starring end
of a Hit Parade song is by
now old hat to the happy-go-
lucky Mr.. Mitchell, who once
broke all box-office records
during a lengthy appearance
in London's world famed
Palladium.
Mr.. Mitchell first hit the
musical headlines some
years ago with his still
memorable "My Heart
Cries For You," a number
worth a million-plus platter
sales.
He followed through not
long after that with another
! Hit Parade money maker,
There's A Pawnshop -"
This brought him many,
many personal appearance Of
fers and a windfall of inter-
national publicity and the coin
of the realm which always
goes with success.
He also took unto himself
a bride; a national beauty
winner, no less.
But there were lean days
ahead, years during which he
tried his voice at many a new
song only to have his record
ings wind up on the $3.50 list
ings.
Merry Christmas, All!
Came the latter stages Of
1856 and Mr.. Mitchell was
back in business in a big way
with Singing The Blues"
The Spring and Summer Of
1857 found him trying his
hand at several newcomers to
the platter world. They died
aborning.
Now he's off again with

to make real $$$ is just one
hit song a year. Which is
nice work, if you can get
it.

py New Year?

Captain" called Juan after
the retreating figure, land
may you dream of mines
enough to furnish a thousand

Gold Not In His Mind
But the admiral did not
hear him. He had reached his
cabin and was already lost in
meditation.
Gold was not the subject of
his thoughts. He was remem-
bering that it was Christmas.
In his minds ear he could
hear the bells of Europe toll
ing, as was the custom of the
time, a sonorous warning to
the powers of darkness that
the Prince of Light and Peace
was about to make his entry
into the world.
| He was remembering that
at midnight they would burst
into peals Of jubilant chimes
to welcome God incarnate as
the Babe of Bethlehem. Com
forted by his brief meditation,
Columbus gave thanks and
fell asleep.
On the quarter deck,
Juan de la Cosa was giving
instructions to the helms
man to steer by a star and,
surprisingly enough, order
ing the men to wake him at
the slightest change in wind
or weather. Surprising, be-
cause Juan de la Cosa was
responsible for the night
watch and his duty was to
keep sleepless vigil until 3
am.
1t was only a very short
; time after the ships master
had retired that the grizzlec
helmsman kicked Pedro, who
was nodding over the sand
glass, and startled the boy in
to wakefulness.
: "Wake up, boy. Wake uE
: l say! If it's a helmsman yol
would be, come; I give you the
tiller for a Christmas present
Steer by that star now, and il
there is change in wind ol
! weather, rouse me-"
And without more ado, the
old seaman curled up on thu
floor and promptly went t
sleep.
Pedro Becomes Frantic
