'Silent Night' Is
Most Beloved Carol
Of aQ the tongs that return to
bring warmth to the Yuletlde sea-
ion, no carol Is so universally
known as "Silent Night." Certain-
ly no other Is as loved and sung
as this simple German song.
For years Its origin was unknown,
except that it supposedly dated back
for many centuries. Recent investi-
gations, however, disclosed that it
was produced in 1818. The poem
was originally written by Joseph
Mohr, an assistant priest in Obern-
dorf in South Germany. The melody
Was composed by a schoolmaster,
Franz G ruber.
Both the poet and the composer
were part of the choir that sang
the now famous carol that Christ-
mas Eve in the Oberndorf church.
The beloved song wars sung first
to the accompaniment of a guitar,
for the church organ was out of
order that Eve in 1818.
It has since been sung to the
tune of almost every musical in-
strument in the world, in the lan-
guages of many men.

A pair of ancient church bells,
brought to Frankenmuth, Mich.,
from Bavaria shortly after Frank-
enmuth was founded as an Indian
mission, has been calling the con-
gregation of St. Lorenz to Christ-
mas eve services for more than a
100 years.
Ninety-five per cent of the resi-
dents of the small community ar«
members of the church, earning
the village the title of "the most
Christian community in the United
States."
Frankenmuth has never had a
crime of violence, and, as far as
Residents can remember, no one
has been Jailed over a period of
25 years. The only visitors to the
lockup were transients given a
night's lodeine.

Cowboy's Party Is
Real American Fete
One of the most typical of our
American holiday celebrations Is
the Cowboy's Christmas Ball, which
has been held almost every year
aince 1884 in the small town of An-
son, Texas.
The celebration started as a wed-
ding party in the old Star Hotel
when ranchers poured in from the
widely scattered ranges to honor
one Cross P. Charley and his bride.
It was such a success that it was
repeated year after year.
Christmas Eve brought the spirit,
of the old West to Anson. Cowboys1
donned their colorful dress, their!
gay shirts and decorated boots.)
Cowgirls outfitted themselves in
gingham dresses 'Tike mother;
wore". A cowboy band swung out
and the dancers perform the heel
and toe polka, the Varsouvlenne,
and other old folk dances.
Though we travel the worM
over to find the beautiful, we
must carry it with us or we find
it not.—Emerson.

CHRISTMAS LECTURE . . .
' "Now this Is a Christmas tree,"
big brother appears to be tell-
ing the toddler. "It grows in the
living room only once a year,
and it always has a lot of nice
presents under It."
Ranted for c4ll
Make ChridtmaA
family. Party.
Christmas is the time for family
get-togethers. One of the best ways
jto make these gatherings memora-
ble for all concerned is to engage in
games which the whole group can
Play.
A nice one to start off with would
be a Sugar Plum Hunt. Have one
member of the family hide Christ-
mas candies ahead of time in vari-
ous nooks and corners around the
house. At a given signal everyone
starts hunting and gathering the
pieces. The one who gathers the
greatest number would be given a
| prize.
j The Christmas Puzzle is another
good one to get things going. Look
through some magazines, which are
I filled with pictures of Santa Claus
| at this time of year. Cut out enough
I of these to go around, paste them
! on stiff cardboard, and cut them
' into pieces. Then put each group of
J pieces in a separate paper bag. At
[ the signal, everyone opens a bag
I and starts putting the puzzle to-
j gether.
The Xmas Scramble Contest Is
good for a group with older children
in it. This is simply a contest to
see who can unscramble a group of
words the fastest. Just for fun, see
if you can work out the following—
astna, erireden, chsgil, dynca,
gosiknet, erte, trepesn, hupnc,
alsorc, and niborb.
