POPCORN FOR HOLIDAYS
What makes popcorn pop? The
I moisture inside the kernel which
turns to steam when heated. If
you are going to make popcorn
balls for the holidays, keep the
popcorn in" a sealed container so
the moisture can't escape. Home
economists also recommend that
the corn be popped at a tempera-
ture of about 375 degrees.
In an old-fashioned way, but with
all the appreciation we can think of
we wish each of you a
MERRY AND
JOYOUS CHRISTMAS

Bach, Handel are
favorites for many
lovers of music
For a great many people the
music of Bach and Handel make
difficult listening — until Christ-
mas comes around. Then, sud-
denly, everybody starts singing
and humming tunes by the two
old masters.
The reason for this is that both
Bach and Handel were church
musicians. One of their tasks was
to compose songs for church con-
gregations to sing. They proved
themselves masters of beautiful,
easily followed melodies in their
Christmas music. Our most fam-
ous Christmas oratories and carols
came from Bach and Handel.
"How Brightly Beams the Morn-
ing Star" was composed by Bach
and his "Christmas Oratorio" con-
tains the themes of several other
popular chorales.
In almost every town and vil-
lage in American this Christmas
a church choir will render at
least a portion of George Frede-
rick Handel's the "Messiah."
When carolers sing "Joy to the
World," they'll be singing part of
the "Messiah" too, for that coral
conies from themes found in the
.meat ortario. Handel also com-
posed the musical theme of
"While Shepherds Watched Their
Flocks."
It is a strange fact, but both
Bach and Handel were born in
1G85, lived for many years within
thirty miles of each other, and
never met. Yet today, the Christ-
mas music they wrote is sung by
men, women, and children in
countless churches of many faiths
all over the world.
If success made the heart swell
like it does the head, this would
be a far better world.
CHRISTMAS BELLS
ANCIENT LEGEND
From the familiar Christmas
tradition stories by William Auld
comes the legend of the Christmas
bells. When Christ was born and
Satan dies, the bells of the church
were rung.
At exactly midnight, the tolling
changed to a joyful peal, an-
nouncing the birth of the Savior.
LEGEND BEHIND ALMS
GIVING AT YULETiDE
Giving alms at Christmas origi-
nated in the belief that the Christ
came sometimes to the door dis-
guised as a beggar during the
holiday season, and it was feared
that he might be turned away un-
recognized. There is an old legend
that tells of the Christ child going
from door to door on Christmas
Eve in search of those who were
kind, and deserving. His test was
to plead for aid and often he was
turned away from the door. The
story led to alms giving of Christ-
mas Eve and it was rare that a
beggar was refused.
Isn't it peculiar that middle age
always starts a few years earlier
for the other fellow?
May your Christmas be merry and joyful _N
. , . and your New Year filled with pros-
pcritv and real happiness.
For your kind patronage of the past may we
extend our appreciation, and express our desire
to continue to serve you faithfully in the future.
