Kids Day at Base Planned
For Saturday, y,September8

the world, the USAF Drum and
Bugle Corps is considered to be
without peer in the realm of
precision marching skill. Bear
ing but little resemblance to
the normal concept of a Drum
and Bugle Corps, this Gilman
group is one of the most mus
iciany ever heard and per-
forms with such rare ability as
to create a sensation wherever
it appears. Its highly intricate
formations and faultless foot
work have been acclaimed the
most exact ever designed.
Organized at Boiling Air
Force Base in December l949
under the supervision ofColon-
el George S. Howard, Chief of
Bands and Music, USAF, the
unit is a part of the United
States Air Force Band but OPP
crates as a separate unit. F rom
a modest beginning in which its
performances we're confined to
a single military installation,
it has in a brief period of time
achieved a position of inter-
national eminence.
Playing to an estimated mil
lion people yearly, the USAF
Drum and Bugle Corps has ira
Veled more than one million
miles. 1t has appeared before
an aggregate audience of twelve
million people and has toured
extensively in the United States,
Canada, Puerto Rico, Bermuda,
England, Scotland, France,
Germany, Libya, French Nor
occo, Holland, Luxembourg,
OklnaWa, Japan, Korea, Turkey
and Greece. Some of its ac-
complishments include playing
for the Inaugural parades of
| Pre- sidents Eisenhower anc
Kennedy, appearing on nation
wide television shows, being
featured performers at the Or
ange Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Cotton
Bowl, and Gator Bowl football
games as well as in practic-
ally every major festival and
parade in the United States.
Officials from Dover AFB
and the Dover Kiwanis Club

Lights on for Safety" cam
paign, Governor Ebert N. Car
vel this week commendedmem-
bers of the Delaware Motor

Delaware Safety Council for
"their public spirit and their
interest in promoting greater
safety on our highways. The
truckers group and the Safety
Council are the sponsors of
Delaware participation in the
Lights on for Safety" cam
paign.
After noting that more than
500 persons we're killed on the
nations highways during the
1861 Labor Day holiday period
and nearly $50 additional high

4th, the chief executive express
sed the hope that the campaign
presently being waged by Of
ficials at all levels of gov
ernment and representatives of
private industry would con-
tribute to "a substantial re-
duction in holiday highway ac-
cidents."
From August 81 to Septem-
Der A, many truck fleets
throughout the nation are plan
ming to operate with their lights
on as a means of reminding all

Another Theory

Another Theory
Johannes Kepler, a German
astronomer, made discoveries
that led to still another theory
about the star of Bethlehem.
In 1904, he observed a configu-
ration, or close grouping, of the
planets Jupiter, Saturn and
Mars.
He determined that such a
configuration occurred each 805
years, and calculations establish
ed that the same grouping might
have appeared in 6 &c
which, some research indicates,
may have been the correct year
of Christ's birth.
Since legends identify the
wise men as astrologers, this
theory accounts for the fact that
as reported in the New Tesla
ment, only the wise men saw the
star.
While the three planets group
ed together would shed unusual
brightness, the average observer
might not notice them, while
the wise men, as astrologers,
would.

Fuvorite Christmas
Tree Is Still Native
Grown Evergreen

Nowadays Christmas trees are
made out of almost everything,
from aluminium to plastic - but
the worlds favorite Christmas
tree is still the evergreen.
Many legends explain how the
evergreen became associated
with Christianity and Christmas.
One is the story of st. Wilfred.
according to The Book of Know
ledge.
Speaking to a group of con-
verts, the saint sought to illus
trate how they had broken away
from the heather worship of the
Druids.
He chopped down a giant tree
an oak, since this kind of tree
was one of the chief objects of
Druid worship. AS ii fell with a
crash, it split into four pieces.
From the center a young fir
tree sprouted.
st. Wilfred told the converts
that the fir should from then on
serve as their "holy tree"
at is the sign of an endless
life" he said, "for all its leaves
are evergreen, and it points to-
ward heaven"
at is the wood of peace, for
all your houses are built of the
fir. Let this be called the tree of
the Christ Child; gather about
ii, not in the wildwood, but in
your homes"

Christmas Songs For Ships

Ships arrive on Christmas
morning, carrying Jesus, Mary
and Joseph, says the English
CAROL" | Saw Three Ships Come
Sailing" This is one of many
legends developed by seafaring
peoples to connect Christmas
and ships.
Stories of the first st. Nichol-
as we're carried from Asia Minor
to Northern Europe by sailors,
and children in Holland long be-
lieved that st. Nicholas arrived
by ship from Spain. In Greece,
st. Basilillo comes on January l
to deliver gifts, and he too is
transported by ship.

Modern Scientists And Scholars Still
Seek Explanation For Star OF Bethlehem

mericana says, it has been sug-
gested that this might be an es-
pecially brilliant star visable
only at long intervals.
A.reported appearance of a
bright star in that part of the
heavens about the middle of the
18th century, coupled with a
vague account of a similar ap-
pearance a little more than 300
years earlier, led to the thought
that these might possibly be
former appearances of the star
of 1872.
II, as this might indicate the
star appeared at intervals of $40
to 3l5 years, three intervals of
3O0-odd years from the time it
was first reported would carry
il back to about the time of the
birth of Christ.
The Glacier reporter. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1953-current, 1962-12-20

Since st. Matthew first de-
scribed the star of Bethlehem, its
mystery has fascinated mankind.
Was il a miracle? Or was II a
brighter-than-usual star or other
celestial object?
Astronomers, while seeking to
identify the star, emphasize that
it may have been indeed a mira
Gle that can't be explained in
terms of natural phenomena.
However, research has provided
material for conjecture that the
star may have been a natural oc.
currence.

Brahe, discovered a new and
