FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17 1948 CABTERET COUNTY NEWS-TIMES. MOREHEAD CITY AND BEAUFORT. N. C. SECOND SECTION PAGE OKI Carols, One of Oldest Forms of Ilusic By-Gerard Tetley AP Newsfeatures Carols, dear to everyone at Christmas time because of the simple emotions they evoke, are among the oldest forms of music. The first of them was the carol of the Heavenly Host over the plains of Bethlehem (Luke 11.13 14) but the earliest manuscript of a carol is found in the British Mu seum in London executed in the thirteenth century. The carol is perhaps the earliest form of the song and dance known to man, the derivation of the word itself being somewhat uncertain. The more accepted derivatives are cantare, the Latin word for "to sing," and rola which is a joyous interjection. Some musi cologists, however, find a differ ent interpretation and contend that the word stems from the early word for chorus. Even more intriguing that there is a relation ship between druidical rites at Stonehenge in England, that mys tic ring of monoliths. Carol is seen to be a vulgarization of Koroll, a circle, which came to mean a ring dance. Early records contain ref erences to Stonehenge as "the carol." The first book of carols was "auctorissed by my lord of Lon don" in 1562 and bore the title page "Christenmasse Carowles." Some of these were legendary and were drawn from the Cov entry Mystery Play "Joseph Was an Old Man." also from some of the English folk tunes, used as the vehicle for words relating to the Christ Child. There seems little doubt that there is a pagan throwback to the carols carried into the Christian church. Religious dances were of record in Spain in the fifth cen tury when the choir boys equipped with castanets capered, singing, around the lectern. Carolling reached its musical height during the days of the Tu dors alth'ough there is an historic reference in 1528 to the fact that when Henry VIII lay very ill he forbade "carols, bells and merry making." The Puritans endeavored to do away with carols, holding that they had no religious significance and the Scottish people at an even earlier date had tried to suppress it With new RIGHT away you know it's a .

TAYlOt, MuW Nwt Monday! ana' Friday, V the lighter carols considering them "popish" and "pernicious." As time went along, there was a tendency to widen the horizon of the carol and some of the good old drinking tunes were employed for the sacred words denoting the birth of Christ no irreverence being intended, since carols were usually regarded as festive music. The custom of singing carols from door to door is almost as old as the carols themselves. The first form was that of the watch main tained in nearly all English medie val cities. The men of the watch would sing carols accompanied by a flageolet and they would collect pence from the gentry. In the West Riding of Yorkshire today children parade from house to house with "milly" boxes (milady boxes) in which there is a crib and a recumbent babe and into which the money offered them is placed. Rated among the most famous Christmas carols is "While Shep herds Watch Their Flocks by Night" written by Nahum Tate in 1703. Charles Wesley in the eighteenth century wrote "Hark, How All the Welkin Rings," later paraphrased to "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing." "Good King Wenceslas" which de notes the Christmas charity of the Bohemian monarch, also ranks high. The repertoire increased as the carol custom spread through Europe to become known as Noels in France, and Wicgcnlicd in Germany. mm 9 theBuiek SUPER!

AP Newsfeatures SEATTLE The Keenan Kids, Sweetie Marie and Sonny Boy brother and sister dolls are the original creations of Ann Keenan's doll family. "Necessity is the mother of in vention," said Mrs. Keenan, who now has a flourishing doll busi ness here. Five years ago at Christmas time, Mrs. Keenan said, she had presents to buy for nieces, but no money. The girls would want dolls. So she made them. Some cloth and cotton stuffing; a dress for the girl doll; and pants for (he boy doll. A little paint here and there on a cheek and there were the dolls. The girls began to take the dolls to bed with them. Mrs. Kee nan said. They were cuddly and warm. The soft cotton wouldn't lay hard underneath the girls while they were asleep. Friends saw the dolls; they wanted some. A salesman waf amoig the friends, and that is how the dolls joined Santa Claus in the department stores. A Seattle department store or dered 120 dozen. Then a Tacoma store ordered. The orders started Mrs. Keenan in a doll shop. In 1947 Mrs. Kennan visited a toy fair in New York City and had her dolls on exhibit. A toy representative wanted 1o handle the sales for her. Other salesmen took the Keenan kids to other parts of the United States. Now the dolls are numbered in the thousands. With such success for the Kee nan Kids, Sweetie Marie ;nd Sonny Boy, requests came for other brother and sister dolls. Soon Mrs. Keenan had Dickey Boy and Betsy to join their older broth er a'nd sister. Now Mrs. Keenan has several women helping her make the dolls.
