Burial Place OF
Santa Claus Is
Said To Be Italy

Santa Claus, otherwise st.
Nicholas, otherwise the onetime
bishop of Myra in Asia Minor, is
buried in Bari, Italy. His body
was stolen from its original tomb
in Myra and swiftly borne to
Bari by Italian sailors, who
thought back in 1887 that a
saints body brought prosperity
and good luck to your town.
St. Nicholas, who was tortured
and imprisoned for his faith dur
ing the reign of Emperor Dio-
cletian, found no rest in his first
tomb at Myra. Always some
expedition was attempting to re-
move his remains.
However, once buried again in
Bari. the saints body was credit
ed with curing 80 people of dis
temper and performing other
miracles. So Bari became place
of pilgrimage, and the legends
about ST Nicholas multiplied
| apace
We owe our notion of Santa
Claus as a secret dispenser OF
gifts to a story that st. Nicholas
once saved three girls from life
of prostitution by throwing
purses of gold through window
in Patara, thus permitting a pow
erty stricken nobleman to give
his daughters suitable dowries as
custom demanded.
In addition, ST Nicholas was
credited with resotring life to
some boys who had been slain
and dismembered by wicked
innkeeper of Myra hence the
occasional stained glass windows
in which the saint is shown be-
side three lads in a tub.

Christmas trees, filled with
natural pitch and resin, can burn
so quickly it is almost impossible
to extinguish the flames by or
dlnary methods.
Trees should be taken down
when the needles start to fall,
even if the holidays are not over.
And they should be disposed of
out-of- doors, in fire-safe areas.
Never attempt to burn an old
Christmas tree in a fireplace,
furnace or stove - they burn
with almost explosive violence
and the fire is most likely to get
out of control" ;"
Buy a fresh tree and keep it
in cold place until you are
ready to put it up. Before setting
up the tree, saw off, diagonally,
at least an inch of the trunk.
Place the base in water-con-
tanning holder and keep the
holder filled with water while
the tree is up.

Observance Grew
With Christianity

The observance of Christmas
as we know it today is one of
JOY and peace, making it difficult
for us to realize that the holiday
has not always been universally
recognized and observed.
When Pope Gregory sent out
missionaries in Col A. D., he told
them to let pagan converts weave
the harmless features of their
festivals into the spiritual fabric
of Christmas observance.
The popularity of the Christ
mas observance grew with the
progress of Christianity, but
there were setbacks. Abuses OF
Christmas reached such pitch
in fuedal England that the Pur-
itan Parliament outlawed the
holiday in 1914 The observance
declined until the middle of the
18th century when Charles Die
kens published his heart-warm-
ing Christmas Carol"

Greeting Cards Are
EnQIi5h Contribution

Greeting cards are an English
contribution to the Christmas
observance.
This simple idea of wishing
your friends Merry Christmas
was originated in 1916 by Henry
Cole, a middle class Englishman
and the idea brought Cole great
honor as well as knighthood.
Coles original cards depicted a
Victorian family gathered at the
festive board and he had thou
sand of them struck off by litho-
graph. Although the cards met
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1958-12-25

dom, Americans produce more,
and have more to enjoy for
themselves and with which to
help others.
The ideals of Christianity, and
the idea of the soul itself, link
to the dignity of the individual
person. Without liberty Of choice,
man becomes subject of COM
pulsion and is deprived of his full
natural dignity.
Our American Santa Claus has
thus grown out of those same
basic concepts of mans moral
worth that were expressed by
the Christ whose birth Christ
mas celebrates.

Thousands Send Cards
To The First Family

Last year some $4,000 Ameri-
cans sent Christmas cards to
President and Mrs. Eisenhower.
This number was almost twice
the total received by the EiSen-
hoWers the year before.
About rs per cent of the send

FESTIVAL ON ITS WAY


THE FESTIVAL COMMITTEE under the chair
manship of G. Luz James has reactivated itself, and it
isnot a bit too soon. With the amount of work to be done,
and the countless details, early planning is a must.
NOW THAT THE Festival is fast becoming an in
~stitution, as it were, some reflections might not be map
propriate al this time. At least the committee, respon-
sive as it normally is to public sentiment, will undoubt-
edly welcome suggestions and ileas, giving whatever
consideration seems warranted.
WE SHOULD NOT lose sight Of the fact that the
Festival is more for sentimental reasons than anything
else. There was a need to celebrate the Christmas season
in the true old fashioned manner and spirit. Carol sing
ing, music, both vocal and instrumental in the streets
were common, and great troupes Of masqueraders de-
lighted spectators and enjoyed themselves. Friends
would visit back and forth, and the entire season was
one Of merrynaking. That is what was intended to be
recaptured.
REGARDLESS OF WHAT else takes place, no fes-
tival, however, big should ever dream of becoming big
business, and therefore highly commercialized. It is only
natural that funds are and will continue to be needed for
tbs countless tasks which can be done only through APP
~propriate funds. Yet, this does not have to put the festi-
val on the other side Of the fence. It should clear its ex-
penses, and perhaps have little carry over for next
time.
AS TIME PASSES the Festival will certainly be-
come the focal point for gathering natives and friends
from the mainland. They will see ST. Croix at its color
full best, and share in the many programs and activities
planned for that period. In time these groups Of natives
might get together for the trip, and perhaps, too, trans
~portation might be arranged on a package basis. Sub
stantial savingsScould be effected in this manner.
ALL ALL, the Festival IS in good hands, and we

Los programs oceanograficos del AGI han
nevado a un gran aumento del conocimiento del
fondo del oceano en- Ell Atlantico tanto como en-
ell Pacifico, ash como del movimiento de las co.
%rrientes oceanicas. Sc ha descubierto una CO.

Del punto. de vista de Estados Unidos, los
programs del AGI han causado satisfaction tan
to como desilusion. con Ell resultado total de que
ha habido I'm estimulo tremendo para ell mejo-
ramiento de las facilidades educativas para la

La desilusi6n surge del hecho de que Russia

ron este como un desafio a mayores e~sfuerzos

La satisfaction deriva de la demonstration de

tiva de mantener la direction international. Mas
