Christmas Eve dinner table
with layers of straw in mem*
ory of the night in Bethle-
hem. An unconsecrated
wafer, symbolizing the love,
harmony, and good will of
the season, is snared by all
the members of the family.
and give the town youngsters
a holiday treat; a ride through
the streets of Hanover in a
shiny red fire engine! Young-
sters of all ages line up in front
of their schools and pile into
the fire trucks. (Children that '
are.too young to "hang on”
ride at the head of the proces-
sion in the Fire Chiefs car.)
More than five hundred boys
and girls ride as the fire engines
"race” (at five miles an hour)
through the town as bells ring
and sirens screech. .
Back at the fire station the
children line up for a visit with
Santa Claus, who stands next
to the shiny fire pole with a bag
of candy and a toy for each
boy and girl. When he asks
them the perennial question

To most boys and girls,
"Jingle all the way" refers to
sleigh bells and a one-horse "
open sleigh; but for Hanover, •
New Hampshire, youngsters’
bells at Christmas time mean
only one thing; the clanging of
the fire bell for the annual
Children’s Fire Engine Ride!
This happens each Christmas
when the local fire fighters step
into the role of Santa Claus

Gifts Not Tradition -
In early times, even Christi-
anity, pagan followers ex-
changed gifts at the New Year.
. At first the gifts were collected
by priests and distributed to
the poor. The exchange of
Christmas presents Is not a
< tradition of modem vintage.
With Christianity, the exchange
of gifts was changed to Christ-
mas.
This lovely float, entered in the 19M Pasadena, Calir,, pourna-
ment of Roses Parade by Rotary International, is typical of the
60 flower-bedecked floats to be seen in this year's Parade. This
- oldest of all mobile floral spectacles, being held on Monday, Jan.
, t, for the 78th time, will be seen by more than 100 million viewers >
when the Parade is televised by all three major TV networks.
Nearly a score of bands and dozens of equestrian units will also
participate in the "granddaddy" of all parades.
ine appreciation for the pleasant rela-
tions we have enjoyed with you, we
extend the season’s greetings and best
wishes. c.u2, , i
