Singing Carols at Christmas Survives Through Tradition The joyful strains of "God Rest you Merry Gentlemen," "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing" and other carols each year renew a lovely tradition as they fill the air at Christ mas. , All Christian nations have carols which are religious, seasonal songs, usually happy In soirit. The singing of carols at Easter time has declined over the years, but Christmas carols have survived and grown In popularity. Carols originally were sung to accompany a ring dance in which dances joined hands to form a circle. Many of these tunes . still retain their lilt. About the 13th century, traditional dance ' melodies were . adapted to religious texts.; Worshippers welcomed something less severe than the old Latin hymns and found these more lively than plain song or chants Many WrlUrs Carols were written by Clergymen, poets, composers, peasants, and by university scholars. They were equally at home in the ale-house, hall, marketplace or cloister. Hundreds of carols were written in England between 1400 and 1647, when the Puri tan Parliament abolished Christmas celebrations and suppressed carols. The favorite songs survived by oral tradition and ' in crudely printed broadsheets. They did not fully regain their popularity for some 200 years. . In the middle of the 19th century, texts for several old carols came to light when a book belonging to Richard Hill, a London grocer, was found behind a ! bookcase. From about 1500 to 1530, Hill recorded all manner of things In the book. Among his many . notes were transcriptions of long lost carols. Create More Interest The Rev. J. M. Hcale and the Rev. T. Hclmore created more Interest In carols when they published "Carols for Christmas tide", in 1853 which set England texts to 16th cen tury Swedish carol tunes. One of the favorites in the collection, "Good King Wensccslns," was written to the tune of a Spring . carol, "Tcmpus Adest Florldum." . The resurgence of carol wrlllnff in the miri-ioth ron. tury led to many American carols, including "We Three Kings of Orient, Are," and "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear." Traditional old Encrllsh oar. ols, as well as carols from oiner European countries, especially Germany and France, remain as favorites. New Card Form Is Tape Recording Nothing can personalize a Christmas greeting like the voice of the sender. And with the magic of magnetic record ing tape, distance and money are no longer obstacles. For little more than it costs to send an ordinary greeting card, a "living letter" will transport the sound of voices you love across the miles. A "living letter" Is a three Inch reel ,of "Scotch" brand sound recording tape, no big ger than a woman's compact, in a ready-to-mail carton. Some three million Ameri can families are expected to utilize this unique form of Noel card, according to Min nesota Mining and Manufac turing company, producers of most of the world's magnetic recording tape, v A really different Christ mas "card" would be greet ings from all members of the family, including baby - talk, recitations or carols. Harmonica Makes Small Popular Gift A Christmas gift that is in expensive but valuable, small but durable, and for young and old alike, is the increas ingly popular harmonica. M. Hohncr, Inc., the world's largest maker, reports that there are over 20,000,000 of these music Instruments in this country and many hun dreds of thousands abroad. The harmonica is easy to carry, easy to handle and easy to learn. It can be played for amusement or seriously studied and played profession ally. It's an especially good gift for a child who wants to "make music -as its easy on the ears even when they're learning! Holy Land Sma Historical Region Most of the events we 'find recorded in the Bible oc curred in an area 80 miles Wide and 400 miles long. Although the Holy Land Is a small area, it is filled with historical landmarks and is a land of contrasts. Around Galilee the rainfall is bundunt, while Negcy is a desolate dessert. In 15 miles you can travel from 2,600 feet above sea level to 1,207 feet below sea level. Damascus, the oldest city in the world which has been continuously Inhabited, today has many modern areas. The old Damascus wall still stands and is so thick that some families have made living quarters In It. . Has Modern Idai Jericho is the oldest town in the world, 10,000 years, but has not always been lived jn . . . there have been four Jerlchos in various periods, all within two miles of each other. The River Jordan, where Jesus was baptized, is only (bout 50 feet wide, muddy ,, . deep In the spring, but dry before winter.' The Sea of Galilee is beauti ful, but Is In reality a lake about 13 miles long and eight miles wide. , Fortran City : t Jerusalem, a fortress city which has been besieged over 30 times and razed to the ground and rebuilt at least six, covers somewhere over 80 acres. It, like Damascus, is still surrounded by the old wall.,. The Mount of Olives is out side the wall and there, you will find the Garden of Gcth scmane. Nazareth, where Joseph and Mary started from on their trip to Bethlehem, is a humble litte town and some what barren. Today, the Holy Land, birthplace of three great re ligionsChristianity, Juda ism and Mohammedanism is not the peaceful country we pray It would be . . . but perhaps one day Its problems will be solved. k 1 I I I II I 'I I I I rrrn r inm www PircvuDV a is 7-cm TVi oy at w : fl siif id?"u vDMiiie tn.iini?rt 17 FOSTORIA SANDWICH TOASTER &' WAFFLE IRON Two appliances in one!
