Christmas Date Set
During Fourth Century

The history of the Christmas
observance is one that has in
trigued clerical and lay schol-
ars for countless years.
Researchers have found that
as far back as the fourth CEN
fury, the Christmas festival
was already an established
custom dating back to earlier
eras.
The word Christmas began
as "Christ's Mass" or as in old
English "Christes Masse' or
the Mass of Christ. Following
the custom of the church in
observing the anniversaries of
deaths, rather than births.
1t was not until st. Cyril,
Bishop of Jerusalem, set out to
affirm one day for a universal
observance that Christ's Mass
was changed from its previous
celebration in the spring Gas
we now observe EASTER.
The good Bishop was granted
permission by Pope Junius /
to appoint a group of theolo

rately as possible, the exact
date of Christ's nativity.
Too many years had elapsed
for absolute accuracy, and
after discovering various con-
Predictions of calendars, astro-
logical and astronomical cal
2ulations, the date for the cele-
bration of Christ's Mass was
7et by the Church for Deem
Der 18th.
So it is that since the year
354 A. D., this date has been
bserved as the date of the
Saviour's birth.
Members of the Greek, Rus
ian and Ukrainian Orthodox
churches celebrate this on JAN
uary 9th.

this country from Denmark.
In 1907, a magazine article,
which Pts wrote about seals,
attracted the attention of a
Ped Cross worker, Miss Emily
Rissell. She was concerned
about the fate of a small sani-
torium and decided to use the
idea in its behalf.
The first seal in America, de-
signed by Miss Bissell, was a
wreath of holly encircling the
words, Merry Christmas"
She promptly had $4,000 of
them printed, but had no way
of selling them. The aid Of a
columnist on a Philadelphia
newspaper was enlisted. With
IN a few weeks $1,000 was col
lected.

The idea of seals for use in

BALTIMORE, Dec. l5.-Rev-
enue officials have given Gov
Tawes a bright picture OF
Maryland finances.
The Board of Revenue Esti-
mates yesterday told the Gov
ernor that the State is expected
to have a $20.3 million surplus
at the end of the fiscal year
June 80. 1860.
This surplus, plus increased
revenues predicted for the next
fiscal year, will provide the
Governor with about $38 mil
lion more money than current
spending as he works up the
State budget for next year.
The healthy condition Of the
State treasury is likely to bring
increased demands - particu-
larly from teachers - for a
chunk of the extra funds.
Gov. Tawes is preparing the
State budget for submission to
the Legislature in February.
The Governor has indicated
previously that he will not rec
ommend spending all the
surplus funds.
Warning on 1862
Revenue officials said yes
terday that to jump the State
budget abnormally on the basis
Of the expected surplus might
put the State in a bad flnan-
cial condition in 1862 when the
high surplus would not be
available. The average rate of
growth in the budget has been
about SIT million year, said
w. Irwin Young, chief of the
Bureau of Revenue Estimates.
Gov. Tawes, who said yester-
day he will meet soon with
budget advisers to 60 over the

next year would be very de-
moraliZing" to teachers.
Windows Approved
He noted the District and
Montgomery County already
have a basic $4,000 starting
salary.
In other business, the board
decided to have windows in the
proposed Fairmont Heights S
Junior High School on an g.
acre site at Addison Chapel
road and Fifty-third street.
Ronald S. Senseman, school
architect, in October asked to
be allowed to offer a "schematic
plan" for windowless class
rooms. School board members
later received considerable op-
position to the proposal from
residents in the community.

Maryland Surplus SOB Million;
Revenues Also Swell 81 Funds

various departments of the
State government have asked
for an additional $50 million
next year. These requests likely
will be scaled down consider
ably.
In addition to the depart
mental requests, the Governor
has indicated he will recon-
mend salary increases for
teachers and other State en-
ployes costing nearly 81 mil
lion. This is far below the
amount requested by the State
teachers and employees asso-
Citations. and both groups are
expected to battle for more in
the Legislature.
The current budget is ap-
proximately 1904 million. The
Bureau Of Revenue Estimates
said the revenue from State
taxes in the next fiscal year
should total about $222.6 mil
lion. The latter figure does not
include the $20.3 million ex-
pected to be left over at the
end Of this fiscal year.
Two Dim Spots
There were two dim spots in
the report Of the Bureau of
Revenue Estimates composed
of State Controller Louis l..
Goldstein, Treasurer Hooper
S. Miles and Budget Director
James G. Rennie. The report,
prepared by DR.. Young, said
the rate of increase in corpo-
rate profits is far behind the
national rate. 1t also said the
revenues from horse racing
will drop.
Benjamin F. Marsh, chief
of the Income Tax Division,
said Maryland's corporation
profits for 1859 will increase
only 5 per cent over 1858 while
the national average is ex-
pected to be 80 per cent higher.

increments of 5000 to $500. The
basic teaching scale now Is $4,-
200 to $4,000 in II steps.
Drafted by 2 Groups
The proposal was drafted by
the county's Teachers and Edu-
cation Associations. The board
took the request under study for
inclusion in the new budget.
The estimated $3.3 million
increase includes 280 addition
al teachers to be hired next
year, raising the classroom in
structional staff to 2,94O per-
sons.

sion and planning consultant
was taken despite strong op-
position registered by Attorney
John T. Hazel. jr., on behalf
OF Frederick Westenberger, de-
veloper of adjacent Madison
Manor subdivision.
Mr.. Hazel and three sub
division residents contended
the new development would re-
duce land values in the Madi-
son Manor area. They urged
that residential zoning for the
area adopted last spring in the
city's master plan, be retained.
Mr.. Eglin's lawyer, Robert c.
Fitzgerald, argued that the
apartments would provide a
suitable buffer between nearby
homes and the industrial prop
erty facing Wilson boulevard
He said the development would
be profitable, tax-wise, for the
city" and would create little
additional burden on the city
schools.
Also adopted at the six-hour
meeting was a public informa-
tlon policy for Falls Church Of
fered by Councilman Lee M.
RhoadS. The Al vote on the
resolution climaxed an ex-
change between Councilmen
Charles J. Hedetniemi and
Charles Kellogg as to the real
intent behind the proposal.
Mr.. Kellogg contended that
the new policy implied criticism
of City Manager Lewis z.
Johnston. MIR. Hedetniemi and
Mr.. Rhoads denied this.
The policy indorses the
theory of providing all reason
able information on the public
af1airs of the CITY," The city
manager was designated as
the initial source of inquiry
and should be available to the
extent his duties permit" The
policy specifies further that
the department heads should
be available to furnish routine
information directly connected
with the operation of their de-
partmentS." Finally, questions
regarding undecided policy
matters will be directed to the
Mayor or council members.
In other action, the council
informed the city's chamber
OF commerce by letter that the
prospects of annexing a portion
OF Fairfax County in the near
future ARE considered un-
likely" However, the possibility
OF bringing into the city the
two Falls Church schools 10

Receipts from the income
tax on corporations is esti-
mated at $64.2 million in the
current fiscal year and $67.5
million in the next fiscal year.
The figure in the past fiscal
year was $63.7 million.
Racing Competition
Taxes on horse racing are
expected to drop 10 to is per
cent mainly because of compe-
tition from surrounding out
.of-State race tracks. The tax
take from horse racing is esti-
mated at about $5.4 million
this year and next, compared
to $6.5 million last year.
Big jumps are expected in
retail sales and personal in
come tax receipts.
Maryland's 3 per cent sales
tax Is expected to bring in
1888 million during the current
fiscal year. nearly $3.5 million
more than expected when the
budget was approved last
March. Next year the receipts
are expected to climb to 1858
million.
Personal income taxes are
expected to yield $64.2 million
this fiscal year. approximately
$4.3 million more than ex-
pected. Next year it is expected
to Jump to $67.5 million.
Tobacco taxes are estimated
to produce about $ll million
this fiscal year and about $1l.3
million next year.
Receipts from the alcoholic
beverage tax are expected to
drop slightly this year, from
$6.7 million to $6.4 million, but
are expected to rise next year
to nearly $6.7 million again.
