YuLE ENDS IN SAFE BLAZE

Christmas can come to an end
in blaze of glory = and a safe
one, too. Custom sets a date for
the disposal of the tree by burn
ing. It's January 6. the Twelfth
Night of Christmas, or Epiphany
-traditionally the night when
the Three Wise Men, or Magi
made their visit to the Christ
Child in Bethlehem.
The modern world, reviving
the Twelfth Night custom of bon
fires for disposing of the tree
and other greenery, combines the
safety factor with community
spirit and fun.
Twelfth Night celebrations are
planned in many communities In
public parks for neighborhood
groups. It's a great night for the
kids and their parents.
Children bring the trees to the
park, or the town collects them.
On Twelfth Night everyone ga
theirs around the bonfire of trees
and greenery to sing carols.

First Christmases We're Festivals

More than a holiday, Christmas
is a holy day. In church services
and private dsvotions. Christians
commemorate a night of awe and
wonder nearly 1000 years ago,
when a Star shone above a Child
in a manger, when angels sang
and shepherds watched.
December IS - as even the
youngest children know - is the
date. And yet. in the first centur-
les of the Christian church. there
was no celebration OF the birth OF
Christ, no Christmas.
There were festivals in the De
cembers Of those times. but they
were pagan festivals.
Celebrate the Sun
December IS was the date OF
the Mithraic rites Of the birth of
the sun - Mithras. the Persian
god Of light. Teutonic tribes in
Northern Europe celebrated the
rebirth of the sun at the winter
sOlstice with a Yuletide season

Of feasting and rejoicing, while
the Romans winter festival, the
Saturnalia. was held at about the
time that is now the Christmas
season.
How then did December %
come to be, not day Of pagan
festivals, but a day dedicated to
Christian devotions?
Some scholars believe that the
Christian church may have set
December IS as Chris.'s birth
date in order that the traditions
Of winter festivals might be hal
lowed by association with the Ma
tivity. When the date was estab-
lished in the fourth century AID,
other dates that were considered
included January /, March 81,

Mugi's Visit To
Bethlehem Told
In St. Matthew

Familiar to all is the visit of
the Magi to Bethlehem-and yet
little Is known about it. In the
books of the New Testament, only
81. Matthew reports the visit.
ST. Matthew called them wise
men from the East" In the leg
ends that have developed, they
are sometimes called "Magi" be-
cause this word, meaning "aug.
ust," was the name given the
priests of the ancient Modes and
Persians.
Tradition says they had heard
that a bright new star would an
nounce the coming of the Saviour
to the world. After years of

continued the familiar merry
making customs of the winter
festivals, but they linked them
to Christmas instead of to pagan
fevelry.
Where formerly pagan people
had looked to NEUROLOGICAL gods
of the sun as source of the re-
birth of light. now they gradual
ly changed to religious observ-
ances Of the Saviour's birth. with
its symbols of faith, hope and
life eternal.
From the winter festivals come
many of the traditions that are
now part of Christmas. The Ro-
man Saturnalia provided model
for Christmas feasting, the Civ
ing of gifts and the burning of
candles.
Christmas lighting also derives
from winter solstice rites, where
lights played an important part.
The Teutonic Yule feast contrib
uted the customs of the Yule log

When winter festivals merged
with Christmas, customs such as
gift-giving 6 gained a new and
deeper meaning.
Gifts For Him
Christians felt that they should
celebrate Christ's birthday with
"gifts" for Him-commemorating
Christmas with a renewal of re-

generosity, compassion, peace,
gratitude and reverence. Giving

AS Christmas became a holy
day, many peoples began ex-
changing presents on other days

Der 6. or Epiphany, January 6,
for instance. In some countries
these customs still continue, with
Christmas reserved solely for
worship.

Sen. Walsh Sums Up Defense Need i' 10 Gen. Taylor

Sen. Pearse Walsh talked by phone with Gen. Maxwell Tay- Tor, military advisor to President Kennedy yesterday, advising him of the apprehension felt here over the lack of any regular aerial patrol of waters in this part of the world although foreign ships are reported from time to time within sight of St. Lawrence Island and even close to the shores of that American outpost. He ex- pressed the feelings of Americans in this part of the globe at the lack of interest shown by the mili- tary. Although the military strength is continually increased within the state it is confined to the central part of Alaska with absolutely nothing on the coast to support the Alaska National Guard, he advised Taylor.
 He explained how bush pilots and Eskirnos report these sight ings, but nothing is done to i'm prove the situation. When asked by Gen Taylor what he would recommend, Walsh urged that a unit, nothing less than battalion, be based here to maintain patrol and study first hand the terrain and coastline, rather than confine their training to the interior where there are no intrl1ders and where the weather conditions and other factors are entirely different than the coastal area. Walsh suggest ed that research work done here would be most valuable in time of trouble.
 Gen. Taylor assured Sen. Waissl that this matter would be taken up with the Secretary of Defense Robert MeNamara immediately and expressed much interest in the suggestions made.

 The decision by the three top military chiefs was reached here and government source said 1t already has been transmitted to Brasilia, the inland capital
 If acceptable to congress and government political leaders in Brasilia, it might end the serious crisis, which has been rocking the country since Janio Quadros re- signed as president last Friday.
 Previously the three military leaders had opposed having Gou- lart even as a figurehead presi- dent
 The formula proposed by the military chiefs differed consider ably from the recommendations presented to the National Con- gress earlier today by congress sional committee.
 The important difference is that congress rather than the president would chose the prime minister.

Rescue Workers Remove 81 Sightsecrs from Dangling Cable Cars

CJ1AMONIX, France lM Rescuers today completed removal of 81 sightseers who spent hours of terror in tiny cable cars stalled high above an Alpine glacier by a freak accident that killed six others.
 We've had an awful time and we're glad it's over" was the comment of a Rriton numbed by night of little leg room and freezoing cold on the slopes of Mont Blanc.
 Helicopters ferried the last sur viors back to the warmth of their Chamonix hotels.
 Some of them had spent near ly 20 hours suspended hundreds of feet in the air while workers slowly wound in the broken trac~ tion cable.
 The cable was snapped Tuesday by a French Air Force jet com bat plane flying low through the valley between Mont Blanc and Aiguillie du Midi.
 The lift runs along a three inch thick traction cable strung for more than three miles from the Aiguillie du Mdi to the French Italian border.
 A German family of four and an Italian man and his son were killed when their cabins jumped the cable and plunged 700 feet to the glacier below.
 More than 25 other cable cars were left hanging high above the Alps. A winch was hurried into place and Alpine rescuers inched their way out on the support cable to attach cables to pull the cars to safety.

 Of the 20 hunters who were permitted to start hunting on Sat-; urday and Sunday, all IT. who checked in with the department as required said they had killed a bison, Brooks said.
 Brooks said each hunter has 48 hours in which to report to the Fish and Game Department. The states game chief said there was a good chance that worlds record bison might be taken in the area before the special per- init hunt has been completed. Fifty hunters who drew per- mits in a drawing at Delta Juuc- tion last month are taking part in the special hunt.

Reds Will Destroy
 Intruders in Their Territorial Waters

MOSCOW H = Charging that foreign submarines have slipped into Soviet territorial waters to spy and maneuver, the Soviet Union has warned that it's armed forces will destroy any such in- truders discovered in the future.
 No dates, locations or nation alities of the underwater tres passer were given in a statement published Monday night by the Soviet News Agency Tass.
 The statement said foreisIs sub- marines must have permission to enter Soviet territorial waters and even then must cruise on the sur face. The Soviet Union has ex- tended the area over which it claims sovereignty to 12 miles from shore, and farther in the case of some bays. The United States recognizes the old three mile limit.
 U. s. nuclear submarines have been cruising submerged off Flu rope since ear1y this year, but they are believed to be operating generally in the Atlantic where their Polaris missiles are still within range of Soviet targets.
