K HIVE'S ! ROBES, flood (election in oil tiyle., color □ SWEATERS choot« from the latett »»ylä». tobnci EDGE □ SKIRTS t ot the new fo»h« •on» BY GEORGE MAC A LEVY A cross snow drifted fields, w here nodtrtnor tracks marred the smooth white billows, came the sound uf a b ell. The sound came from a sm all village tn Western Pennsylvania. It was also long ago. The village strung out along a brick road up one side of a hill and down the other. The snow on the road had been plowed to within a foot of the surface aid packed hard. During the course of a single moonlit evening two, maybe three cars would come along. The church at the south end of town was summoning the v il lagers to the annual Christmas pageant. The sound of the bell carried far out across the win ter landscape, carrying the signal to farm s, far distant from the main roads. Sleigh bells were a real part of the scene. Horses were a standard item tn the farm steads. Tractors of those days couldn’t be started in the winter time unless you built a fire under the transm ission and crankcase. On a bright winter evening a one-horse cutter complete with jingling bells on the harness was a vehicle oft heard and seen. On the snow packed road, children and adults both would be out on any clear evening. Bobsleds raced down the hill. F This Christmas Give a Copy o f the Bi GRESHAM. the friendly city .

It took at least two people to pull one back up the hill. Perhaps a big farm bob sled, drawn by a team of Percherons, Its great box filled with hay, and carrying ahalfdozenm erry couples would com e trotting past. Wishes of a “ Merry C hristm as,” all the sounds of a wholesome happy time, com bined with the ever present sleigh bells rhymically rung by the smooth up and down motions of the horses. Sleigh bells too, are the B ells of Christmas. Not too far away was a small city, cut tn two by a large river. Two bridges crossed this river. For the Christmas season all the lights on the bridges were globed alternately with green and red. The glistening water sliding sib - ilantly under the bridges r e flected back equal numbers uf colored globes. In the crisp air a carillon rang out with all the fam iliar carols that tell the original Christmas story. This too cam e from a church. Scurrying sh opiers stopied to listen, perhaps to look to wards the church where the carillon was housed. Look up at the great stone bell tower with Its parapets frosted with snow; the ledges of its open ings piled with m lnlaturedrlfts, as the b ells, great and small rang out with their m essage. Little tinkling b ells rang from the street corners as Sbnta Clauses and Salvation Army people collected for the needy. In som e old towns, the chang ing patterns of Change B ells would completely catch the ear. Change B ells go well with win ter. They seem in place with the snow and in tune with a frosty night. Church B ells, Carillons, tinkling hand b ells, you still hear them but not too often. Change B ells never got west of Pittsburgh. New England, New York, and Pennsylvania, probably defines their Amer ican range. Consisting of eight bells ringing the (8 )basic tones, they range in size from an 8 ton giant to a 100 pound midget. It takes a synchronized eight- man team of hell pullers to make music with the bells. Each man rings his tadI in order and a cadence <4 eight tones Is established. Each cadence changes the position of one bell in the cadence. The ringing con tinues, cadence after cadence, until the changes have gone full, circle and the final change re produced the original cadence. This might sound monoton ous, but it isn’t. Stop and think uf the many different starting orders y<iu could have, and then multiply this by the number of changes of order possible to pursue, and you have quite a repertoire for Change B ells. Truly, the sound of bells Is the music that best typifies Christm as. Yet, the complaints uf a few cranks about notse has silenced the Carillon tn Portland except for the one night. Many churches do not have bells any more; not even single bells. Outside in the streets, be It city or village, the air Is too sterile; the vibrant passage of Christmas B ells is something from other years to be carried in one’s memory or to be lost In the Umbo of the past. □ BLOUSES, (onty Let our qualified sales people play "Santa's Helper" for you in making your choice . .
