Carols Traditional

Every Christmas Eve the lights
of Boston's Beacon Hill shine
more brightly as happy carolers
sing out their Yuletide greetings.
The custom of Beacon Hill car
OILS was originated by Frederick
w. Briggs, in 1895, after spending
a merry and musical evening in
an English town. In recent years
some 10000 Christmas celebra-
tors have joined the wandering
minstrels in celebrating Joyous
Yuletide on the Hill.

ed State House to Charles Street,

good fellowship and the echo OF
happy Yuletide greetings.

Christmas Holiday
Was Once Forbidden

Christmas has not always been
a legal holiday in this country.
In 1859, the general court of Mas
sachusetts Bay colony passed this
resolution:
"Whosoever shall be found OBJ
serving any such day as Christ
mas or the like, either by fore
bearing labor, feasting, or any
other way, as a festival. shall be
fined five shillings."
The first legal observance in
this country is believed to have
taken place in Boston in 1886 when
Governor Andros conducted serv'
ices in the town hall. And it was
still many years later, in 1856,
that the State of Massachusetts
officially passed laws which per
mitted the observance of Christ
mas.

Of the transit firm to run buses
over the Spout Run parkway to

from Chairman David Krupsaw
who said he is opposed to rout-
ing buses over the two scenic
routes unless someone can
Justify 1t as in the best inter-
ests Of Arlington County"
Further Study Asked
The board asked the State
Corporation Commission to
keep its hearing records open
until the board can go into
the matter.
The board had a recon-
mendation from the county
public utilities commission that
it approve the requests, but no
one from the commission was
present.
Jesse Stokely. traffic man
ager for the bus company, said
the CHA asked for bus transport
tation between Washington and
the new agency headquarters
being built at Langley in Fair
fax County. He said the buses
would travel on the parkway
between Memorial Bridge and
Langley. and that no passengers
would be picked UP along the
parkway.
Mr.. Stokely said the request
involving the Spout Run park
way was. to provide faster serv-
ice to the outlying areas during
rush hours by avoiding trafflc
congestion in the Rosslyn circle
area.
Cites Scenic Value
These are beautiful drives, /"
said Mr.. KrupSaw. Il would
hope that commercial vehicles
and buses could be banned"
Lee Urbanske. who voted
against Mr.. Krupsaw's motion,
said bus passengers are entitled
to get a view Of the Potomac
just as the drivers Of Cadillacs. "
He SAFE that the buses would
be using the parkway during the
rush hours at a time when no
one is out for a scenic drive. :"
In other business. the board
voted to tighten procedures gov
erning use Of county-owned
cars. The board concurred in
administrative regulations pro-
posed by County Manager A.
T. Lundberg prohibiting any
county employe from taking a
county car home without spe-
cific authorization from Mr..
