By LYN CONNELLY
A SONG which made its appear
** ance in 1942 entitled “White
Christmas," is in its fourth year
and well on its way to permanent
recognition as a Christmas fa
vorite.
The amazing popularity of
“White Christmas” as a yuletide
song reached its peak last year
when a poll conducted to establish
the favorite carol of servicemen
revealed that 22 per cent of the
votes went to this early war song
written especially for the occasion
by Irving Berlin, graduate of Tin
Pan Alley.
The birth of the song was entire
ly by accident despite rumors to
the contrary which attribute its
conception to the war. Actually, it
was composed in 1940. A Hollywood
studio had an idea for a motion pic
ture to be called “Holiday Inn,”
co-starring Fred Astaire and Bing
Crosby. The theme of the picture
was based on the holidays of the
year and a song was needed to
represent each holiday. Irving Ber
lin was contracted for the composi
tions. The picture, released in 1942,
was synonymous with our second
wartime Christmas, and in that
year the song sold one million
copies in four months. Although
nothing is done on the part of the
publishers to exploit the song, it
automatically rings the register
each year as the holiday season
approaches. Berlin calls it his fa
vorite song, with the exception of
his “God Bless America” written
during World War I. “It’s difficult
to predict a song’s future,” says
Berlin, “but judging from its past,
I would say “White Christmas” has
a very good chance of becoming a
permanent song along with other
Christmas carols.”
LITTLE 0L’ SANTA
The little oT santa propped under
our tree ... is little the worse for
wear . . . he’s lost
- a leg and an arm,
, you see . . . but no
one seems to care.
Not that we’re un
sympathetic, rath
^ er, we are just a bit
nostalgic.
Time was when
our santa, bright
and new, benignly welcomed Tom
my and Sue ... as they tiptoed
downstairs to see . . . their presents
spread beneath the tree . . . very
early Christmas morning.
’Tho Tommy and Sue have out
grown their toys . . . and entwined
their hearts with grown-up joys
. . . that little oT santa, propped
under the tree, symbolizes Christ
mas—as Christmas ought to be . . .
with toys for children, good will
among men ... on earth, Peace
dawning.
Dorothea Waitzmann.
WHITE HOUSE CHRISTMAS . . .

The Puritans disliked the cele
bration of Christmas, preferring
their own celebration of Thanks
giving.
In 1659 the high court of Massa
chusetts held that “anybody who is
found observing, by abstinence from
labor, feasting or any other way
such day as Christmas Day shall for
each and every offense be fined
five shillings.”
