Hawaiian Feasting
Lavish feastS accompany
Christmas In Hawaii. Menu for
a traditional dinner in a Poly
nesian family might be: roast
pig, prepared in an imu, a COW
cred rock oven; gray-brown
poi; raw salmon, with vinegar
and herbs; island spinach cook
ed In scoconut milks and pick
led pineapple. Dessert might
be passion fruit pie - tangy-
tart, yet sweet, topped with
macadamia nut ice cream.
In Sweden as family, guests
and household servants as
semble. each person sticks a
piece of bread on a fork and
dips 1t into a kettle of pork
and sausage drippings. Accord
ing to tradition, this bread is
eaten for luck before the feast

POir.Settia Puzzle
Is Christmas Fun

A fun-maker at Christmas
is to ask family or friends this
question: "What color is the
blossom of the poinsettia
plant7" Chances are, the an
swer will be, "Red, of course"
Actually. the red blossoms"
o. the poinsettia are not the
flower of the plant - they are
leaves. The real blossoms are
the tiny yellow flowers in the
center of the red clusters.
A comparative newcomer to
the traditional Yule greenery,
the tropical poinsettia was dis
covered in Mexico In 1928, by
DR.. Joel Robert Poinsett, first
u. S. minister to Mexico, He
aroused interest In its beauty,
and the plant is named for him.
Albert Ecke, a California far
mer, developed and improved
the plant, and first marketed
1t in 1906.

AS much a part of Christmas
as Santa Claus are the holiday
dinner, the candies, cookies
and cakes, the pies and pud-
dings. Almost every country
in the world has contributed
its own culinary heritage to
the celebration.
Turkey and all the trim
mings have become traditional
In America, and other coun-
tries have their own menus for
the Christmas feast.
Belgium and Holland have
special cakes and sweets for
St. Nicholas season. The Let
terbanket is baked in the form
Iof letters SO that one may or
der his name In cake. Marzi :
pan candies, once made only
in the shapessof hearts. now
come In many forms.
An Italian Christmas feast
might include Capitelli =
white meat of chicken and pork
chopped and mixed with eggs
and spices, encased in an inch
high Ounce cap of noodle dough
- or Capitoni, made from fried
eels.
What Austrians Eat
Characteristic foods of
Austrians at Christmas, say A
mericana Encyclopedia, re-
searchers, are fruchtbrod, a
cake made of raisins, currants,
chopped figs and dates and SER
we'd hot; chopped and baked car
pa; beef, vegetables and beer.
On Christmas Day in Hun
gary the family sits down for
a roast goose dinner.
Instead of turkey, Norwe-
gians have Christmas porridge,
Goldfish, roast ribs or pork,
Ipickled pork, and sometimes a
barbecued young pig, with an
apple in its mouth, and paper
frills upon its ears.
Mince pie is an old English
custom. 1t represents a COM

Evergreen
Still Tops
AS Tree

Nowadays Christmas trees
are made out of almost every
thing, from aluminium to plas-
tic - but the worlds favorite
Christmas tree is still the ever
green.
Many legends explain how
the evergreen became associ-
ated with Christianity and
Christmas. One is the story Of
St. Wilfred, according to The
Book of knowledge.
Speaking to a group of con-
verts, the saint sought to illus
trate how they had broken a
way 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 OBJ
jects of Druid worship. AS it
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"
''It is the sign of an endless
life," he said, "for all its leaves
are evergreen, and 1t points
toward heaven.
sit is the wood of peace, for
all your houses are built of the
lfir. Let this be called the tree
of the Christ Child; gather about
it, not in the wildwood, but in
your homes.

In Italy

Santa Claus is gaining favor
with Italian children, but the
traditional gift -giver, espe-
cially south of Rome, is Be-
fana. Usually represented as a
gray-haired witch who rides
a broom stick, she brings toys
for good children, but stock
ing full of coal or ashes for
naughty ones.
Legends say, variously, that
she misdirected the Magi or
that she refused shelter to the
Holy Family. Repenting, she
now goes around the world on
Christmas Eve, seeking the
Christ Child and doing good to
children.

Since St. Matthew first de-
scribed the star of Bethlehem,
its mystery has fascinatedm dman-
kind. Was it a miracle2 Or
was it a brighter-than-usua
star or other celestial object2
Astronomers, while seeking
to identify the star, emphasize
that it may have been indeed
a miracle that can't be ex-
planned in terms of natural
phenomena. However, research
has provided material for con-
lecture that the star may have
been a natural occurrence.
One Discovery
A Danish astronomer, Tycho
Brahe, discovered a new and
brilliant star in the constella :
ton Cassiopeia in l572, ac-
cording to the Encyclopedia A
mericana.
Since that discovery, The
Americana says, it has been
suggested that this might be
an especially brilliant star Wis
ible only at long intervals.
A reported appearance of a
bright star in the part of the
heavens about the middle OF
the 18th century, coupled with
a vague account of a similar
appearance a little more than
800 years caller, led to the
thought that these might pos
sibly be former appearances oi
the star of l572.
If, as this might indicate,
the star appeared at intervals
of 3l0 to BIS years, three in
tervals of 300-odd years from
the time it was first reported
would carry it back to about

the time of the birth of Christ.
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 config-
ration, or close grouping, of
the planets Jupiter, Saturn and
Mars.
He determined that such a
configuration occurred each
sos years, and calculation es-
tablished that the same group

YIlIE SERENADE

Serenading their neighbors

terprise in St. Louis, Mo. More

pate, under the guidance of the

buttons to the carolers are

g BIC. (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
Testament, only the wise men
saw the star.
While the three planets
grouped together would shed
unusual brightness, the aver
age observer might not notice
them while the wise men as
astrologers, would.

Yes; Virginia, There

Sixty-wo years ago, an etght-yedr-

tdl staff of the NelD York Sun. The
newspapers dnS1Uer has become one OF
the Christmas seasons classics The
little girl tDGnted to kn010 simply, us

is reprinted here, as it appeared in
The Sun.
Virginia, your little friends are wrong.
They have been affected by the skepticism
of a skeptical age They do not believe ex-
cept they see They think that nothing can
be which is not comprehensive by their
little minds All minds, Virginia, whether
they be mems or children's are little. In
this great universe of ours man is mere
insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared
with the boundless world about him, as
measured by the intelligence capable of
grasping the whole truth and knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there is Santa Claus. He
exists as certainly as love and generosity
and devotion exist, and you know that they
abound and give to your life its highest
beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary would be
the world if there were no Santa Claus!
1t would be as dreary as if there were no
VirginiaS. There would be no childlike faith
then, no poetry, no romance to make toler-
able this existence. We should have no
enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The
eternal light with which childhood fills
the world would be extinguiShed.

Not believe in Santa Claus You
might as we'll not believe in fai-
ries! You might get your papa to
hire men to watch in all the
chimneys on Christmas Eve to
catch Santa Claus, but even if
they did not see Santa Claus COM

Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that
is no sign there is no Santa Claus.

Virginia O'Hanlon's letter to The New

The most real things in the world are those
that neither children or men can see. Did
you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn?
OF course not, but that's no proof that they
are not there. Nobody can conceive or
imagine all the wonders there are unseen
and unseeable in the world
You tear apart the baby's rattle and see
what makes the noise inside, but there is
a veil covering the unseen world which not
the strongest man, nor even the united
strength of all the strongest men that ever
lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy,
poetry, love, romance, can push aside that
curtain and view and picture the supernal
beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? All,
Virginia, in all this world there is nothing

No Santa Claus? Thank God
He lives, and he lives forever. A
thousand years from now, Vir-

sand years from now, he will con-
tinue to make glad the heart of
childhood.

JUNEAU R - Gov. Wm. Egan said Tuesday he was "dismayed" by an Air Force decision to shut down three Aircraft Control and Warning Stations this year.
 The Alaskan Air Command Sat urday identified the three stations as those at Ohlson Mountain, near Homer; at Bethel; and at Middle ton Island.
 q feel very definitely" Egan said, "that our Alaskan defenses are not adequate, in relation to the number of aircraft and ballistic missiles stationed here.
 "The radar network, then. is the only real defense line we have in Alaska"
 Egan said he plans to "discuss the situation thoroughly with B, VI sai Ciiief Of the Alaska Command in Anchor age next week.
 Egan is. scheduled to attend an Armed Forces Day banquet in Anchorage on May IT and to take part in military ceremonies at Ft. Richardson the following day.

'COrdOva Residents Think of Future
 And Not the Past

II. told residents of this fire-stricken community Monday he was pleased to see you are thinking of the future and not of the past"
 The governor made the com ment during a personal inspection of the damage caused last Thurs day when fire burned out the heart of Cordova's business dis trict.
 q had not looked forward to this trip because of the loss," Egan told the Cordova Chamber of Con- merce at luncheon meeting, "but after a short time visiting with your people found you are already planning ahead. This is very en- couraglng to see ou are 'peing offered the help of governmental agencies and now is perhaps the time to think of some sort of urban renewal pro- gram for Cordova.
 "I am pleased to see you are thinking of the future and not of the past"
 Egan said he has instructed the State Division of Insurance to urge major fire insurance carriers to process claims arising from the Cordova fire as quickly as possible.
 A number of fire and casualty companies which have written in- surance policies in Cordova are al- ready in the city.
 Following is the text of a letter mailed by Director Joseph Loonam of the State Division of Insurance Tuesday to all fire and casualty insurance companies operating in Alaska:
 'As you may be aware the City of Cordova suffered a disastrous fire on May 2, 1863 A large DOT tion of the business district was destroyed and many residents of the community are presently homeless.
 'In the event that your com pany has written coverage in the Cordova area, we are taking this opportunity to urge that all claims be handled as expeditiously as pos sible. The construction season is just starting and those who have suffered heavy losses will need all possible assistance in the job of repairing and rebuilding.
 Your cooperation in this emer- gency situation will be appreci- ated, by all those involved, includ- ing this office.''
 Egan said the Small Business Administration has sent a repre- sentative to Cordova and that representative from the Federal Housing Administration is due here.
 Egan said he was particularly impressed with the attitude of people who lost all or most of their belongings, the strong spirit and enthusiasm they are exhibit ing.
 ''The Air Force is entitled to special commendation," Egan said, "for getting fire equipment to Cordova from Elmendorf Air Force Base as quickly as it did.
 If the equipment had not been sent promptly, there is a good chance the damage would have been even greater than it was."

Letter To The Editor
By L. E. Ost

Treaty concerning the cession
 of the Russian possessions in
 North America by His Majesty
 the Emperor of all the Russias
 to the United States of America
 Q5 Stat. 539).
 Article III. Citizenship of in- habitants; uncivilized tribes.
 The inhabitants of the ceded territory, according to their choice, reserving their natural allegiance, may return to Russia within three years, but if they should prefer to remain in the ceded territory Alaska) they, with the exception of uncivilized native tribes, shall be admitted to the enjoyment of all rights, advantages and immu- mites of citizens of the United l iIi $ II tsi Ii i.!yi and protected in the free enjoy ment of their liberty, property and religion.
 The uncivilized tribes Eskimos, Aleuts, Indians of AlaskO will be subject to such laws and regula- tions as the United States, may from time to time, adopt in re- gard to aboriginal tribes of that country.
 I think it necessary that this part of the treaty should be known by all and sundry. Some politi- clans and agitators would have us think that the treaty obligations, concerning the then uncivilized natives have been broken. It seems to me that Eskimos now should stand before the law and in re- sponsibility on an equal footing with the white people-according to proven ability. People are not first class citizens because they have right to vote. First class citizenship must be earned - it cannot in reality be created by political pressure at taxpayer ex- pense. Let us have true discern ment in this.
 The white people paid $7,2OO,OOO to the Russians for Alaska. Since. to the average people, the white people have poured untold millions of dollars into Alaska for the pre- stunned benefit of the native people.
