Christmas Carols In The Camps
Feature American Soldiers Yule
LUCKY indeed is the soldier who ob
tains a Christmas furlough and spends a
portion of his holiday season at
home, but what about those hun
dreds of thousands of American
boys in our Army w'ho will re
main on duty in the canton
ments and island bases and in
garrisoning distant outposts?
The ansiiver is voiced in a song—a glori
ous hymn that will be heard from virile
young throats singing in praise of Him in
whom reposes mankind’s steadfast hope in
this dark hour of the world’s history.
The hymn, a favorite of the American
soldier and of his forebearers in arms j in
since colonial campfires, “0 Come, All Ye
Faithful,” will be sung in 200 new Army
chapels where this year Christmas services
will be held for the first time.
In his spiritual life. Army chaplains de
clare, the citizen soldier finds the closest
tie linking military duties with the cherish
ed customs of his home. Especially among
young men from the farming communities
and the towns and smaller cities the obser
vance of Christmas in the camps will not
be unlike the programs in churches
throughout the land where friends and
neighbors assemble for the Christian fes
tival. In Army chapels the same midnight
services wdll be held, the youthful wor
shipper will join in the same inspiring mu
sic, he will hear again he same messages of
hope, the same feverent prayers for peace
and good will.
During Yuletide the singing of familiar
carols will enliven the camps, not only
in the training
areas at home
but the same
music of cheer
and comfort
will echo from
the cliffs (f:
Iceland and
the wa.stes of
Greenland as
well as among
the tropic of
Guiana,' Trin
idad and the
Orient. For

ing the best in sacred themes, subdivided
for Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish forms
of worship. Special visitations will be
made to the hospitals. Neither will the in

All will share the spirit of Christmas.
At this season the 1,626 chaplains in our
Army take stock of their effoi-ts through
the year, and the Chief of Chaplains ad
vises the Chief of Staff as well as the home
folks that most encouraging progress has
been made for the spiritual well-being of
the troops. Where 11,640,000 soldiers ,it-
tended religious services during the last
fiscal year with an average of 97.8 persons
at each service, it is pointed out that there
is now a much larger participation and a
corresponding increase in the ministration
of holy sacram’ents.
Said a veteran chaplain:
“The tradition established by those
pioneering soldiers who bowed in prayer
on the eve of Bunker Hill and in the storm-
swept camps at Valley Forge is still alive
in the hearts of America’s defenders in
arms.”—War Department.

THE SILK STOCKING ERA
(Mount Airy 'Times)
As prominent women begin setting an
example for the conservation of silk by
wearing cotton stockings, it is interesting
to review the rise and fall of the silk
stocking era.
In 1899, at the turn of the century, silk
stockings first made their appearance in
American stores. That year, 12,572 pairs
of silk stockings were sold, which consti
tuted one pair sold for every 2,500 pairs of
cotton stockings. It didn’t look then as if
silk stockings were going to go over with
women and even ten years later, in 1909,
less than one per cent of the stockings sold
were made of silk.
It was not until after the last war that
silk stockings approached the popularity
which they have had recently. Even in
1919, over half of the stockings sold to wo
men were made of cotton, but during the
next ten years cotton stockings became a
drug on the market. In 1929 about 86 per
cent of women were wearing silk stocking!
and last year over 90 per cent of the stock-r ^
ings sold were made of silk or rayon. %
