It isn't pretty. It isn't burdened with the usual war-movie ingredients like heroic speeches and man-talk about women, With out being a great film, it manages to lie one you won't forget soon. It's' sufficiently, realistic that you'd probably never guess its battlefield was plaster mountains and artificial snow ground gyp sum and ground ice inside a sound stage.'.. ItsYealism and force stem from Samuel Fuller,8 a talkative, tough little ex-infantryman who wrote and directed it. His low-budget "Steel Helmet" won him a contract at 20lh Century-Fox, which produc ed the new film. He starred Gene Evnas again, as in "Steel Helmet," as a hard-bitten sergeant. Michael O'Shea is ' another gritty three-striper.

His soldiers gripe freely. None is over-anxious to prove him self a , hero. Some are stupidly careless. Some of the action Is a little stagey. Some lighting is so sub dued it's hard to tell U.

Records show, however., that the , holiday was spoken of in the fourth century as a custom of long standing. Christmas began as Christ's Mass, or the Mass of Christ, sometirne during the fourth Century. It tobk that long after the blessed night for the . great importance of Christ's birth to be realized by the people. Until this time it had been the cus tom of the church, to celebrate the anniversaries of deaths, rrrthc than births. Christ's birthday was the first to. bo ' madq an., occasion for feasting. The date for the celebration of the Christ Mass was selected by the church. So many years had elapsed that the actual date of His birth could only be a matter of conjec ture. The festival and spirit of Christ mas spread through the Christian wqrlds. Pagan customs, oven as they do today, attempted to adapt themselves to the Christmas season. For many years after the origin of Christ's Mass the church frowned upon the practice of exchanging gifts during the festival season. Later, however, the practice was condoned, in remembrance of the spirit of the Three Kings of the Orient who had followed a shining star to the crib of the new-born Christ, bringing presents with a sense of humility.

Countless customs from the Old t World have been absorbed through the centuries into the cele brations that we participate in to day. A few, however, hav been passed down from one generation to another, remaining always the same. The Indians of Canada, for ex ample, believe that the deer kneel in prayer each Christmas 'Eve. An early missionary probably is re sponsible for the idea, but it still lingers and wily Indians have al ways attempted to catch the deer in the act. ; ' V,, '" In England, it is believed that the bees express veneration the ) nativity by singing in their hives at midnight. The bee hives are al ways adorned with holly sprigs for the Yuletide season. In Europe it was custom for a young girt to creep to the family woodpile on Christmas Eve and pull out the first stick that her hand touched. If the stick was a straight one, with AO; knots, tradition said that she would have a good husband. Farmers in' Europe also gave torches to their children and sent them singing into the apple orchards and the fields. The mice, caterpil lars and moths were said to flee before the approaching songsters. In. early. Germany it was a belief that water turned into wind during the hour ielore midnight on Christ mas Eve, -, 'yy " WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY, DEC 26 & 27 DOUBLE FEATURE 'ROUGH RIDERS OF DURANGO' -- Starring: ' ALLAN "ROCKY" LANE ' .'
