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.

People took turns dragging them
up the hill for the next exhll-
aratli« run • heavy four-place
bob sleds nude of tough white
oak and shod with steel run
ners. 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.
