Parkins and wife. Christmas carols express better than anything else, probably, tne j true spirit of Christmas. The word "carol" it.-elf signifies Joy and was originally used to ac company a dance. William Wallace j Fyfe concludes that the term carol "signifies a son ui joy or exulta tion." Another defmit.on states: "A carol is a hymn of praise especial ly such as is sung at Christmas in the open air." In England, which gave America most of its carols, they were some times gay and sometimes convivial until the time of the Puritans, who tried to suppress the Christmas spirit. After the Restoration, the re ligious nature of the day was for a time almost forgotten in the reaction from Puritanism, and the carol was temporarily lost In the songs. There are many quaint customs associated with the early carolers that might be used today to break the monotony of going from house to house singing Christinas hymns. It was about the 16th century that caroling became a Christmas custom, and is supposed to have been brought to England from Italy by the traveling clergy. The first real Christmas carol is attributed to St. Francis of Asslsi who made a model of the Bethlehem manger to help him tell his people the Christmas story. The idea of caroling fitted ad mirably Into the English con ception of Christmas as a com bination of religious celebration ani a great home day wltb nel;;lilrrly feeling, so it grew a n:l nourished in that country. Little bands and groups of singers which sprang up in the towns and villages came to be known as "Waits." A natural explanation of the name seems to be that it refers to watching and waiting, for Christ mas Eve is called the Vigil of Christmas. As early as December 21, which is the day dedicated to St. Thomas, mummers and caroiers would begin going from door to door, announc ing the great feast at hand. It was natural for the householders to offer hospitality to these Christmas troubadours, and gradually in many places the custom of giving alms and presents of various kinds was established. This benign custom threat ened at one time in England to become a profession and to lose its original simple charm. For a period beginning just when no one knows and ending in 1320, there were in London and West minster companies of "Waits" whose leaders held office by pub lic appointment and who obtained an exclusive right to solicit con tributions from the public. The carolers were often accom panied by entertainers who gave a spirit of revelry to the occasions. The mummers often interrupted the singing to give their interpretation of "St. George and the Dragon." Tumblers, dressed in bright red, would perform their arts of skill to cnlcrtain the onlookers. iNews From South Clyde A program of Christmas carols featured last Monday night's meet ing of the South Clyde Commun ity Development Program organi sation at Louisa Chapel.

(UP) Her son's quest for a skunk tail gave Mrs. Adrienne Roy a lot of trouble. Also, the skunk still has his tail. Mrs. Roy thought her automobile hit a skunk along the highway. Her 14-year-old son, Alfred, said he wanted the tail. The jIiging mother backed her car off ihe road. The ear struck a telephone pole, which broke off and crushed the hood and right side of the car. Telephone wires entangled the car and covered the highway. No one was hurt, particularly not the skunk.

The rainbow of at least one human de sire had fulfillment at the end when Judy Sue Warschauer found herself face to fce with the doll of her dreams and It was the very one she wanted for Chirstmas. ZuMSatt People lit "S Rojdestvom Xristovym." That's what a Russian would say to you if you were in Russia on Christmas day and he wished to ex tend the season's greetings. The phrase is the Russian's way or saying: "Merry Christmas." In the past, the Russian's Christ mas was closely associated with his church; but how the day is ob served now that the religious life has been subjugated in the Soviet, one would have to be behind the "iron curtain" to know. But it was not always like that. In other days, the Russian Christ mas was much like the Ukrainian. There was a Santa Claus known as "Dedushka Moroz" and there were traditional gifts of red boots for children and golden slippers for young girls. In certain parts of the country the "baboushka" (grandmother) was ine legendary dispenser of gifts. According to one story, she repented of unkindness and ever since has tried to make amends "by distributing gifts to children at Christmas. 4 1 1 i r 1 1- iyn l W..L1 xu rear Tree FalU -""'Hil'f). n Alte, ST.
