'Christkindli' Is Swiss Counterpart Of Santa Santa Claus plays a very insig nificant part in the Swiss celebra tion of Christmas, observed mostly on December 24. It is Christkindli.1 the Christ Child, who makes the rounds of Swiss homes on Christ mas Eve. This radiant angel is said to have come from the North travel ingon a fairy-like sleigh pulled by ' reindeer, much in the fashion of our Santa Christkindli brings good Swiss children a beautiful tree, and many gifts. Like Santa, he stresses obedience and admonishes naughty youngsters.

My Favorite Stories By CARL GOERCH j | ( The Griswold's are really very nice people. There's Mr. John Griswold, Mrs. Hattie Griswold. and their two children. John, Jr., aged 7. and Rosalie, aged 12. i There's nobody w e know who , eels more out of Christmas than John does. Several jears ago he j went out to his brother-in-law's | farm three weeks before Christ j mas and chopped down a fine cedar tree. He took it home, kept it on the side porch for a week, and then proceeded to put il up. Of course, by the time Christmas 1 rolled around, the tree Was as dead | as a door-nail, but that didn't make any difference to him. Another thine: John was born and reared in Harrisburg. Pa. His great-aunt; his father and mother. I two uncles and three aunts are | still living up there. When Christ mas Eve comes along, and folks start singing "Silent Night" on the j ?-adio, he can't stand it. He gets to thinking about all his relatives, j and then goes out on the back ' steps, sits down and cries like a baby. ? After Christmas is over, he sel dom thinks very much about them ?int.il the next Yuletide arrives. This particular Christmas. John Tr. and Rosalie were up bright and early. They rushed down stairs to see what Santa Claus had left *hem. Mr. and Mrs. Griswold had heen up late on Christmas Eve. Tohn woke up at about six o'clock ?>nd insisted upon joining the chil dren. Mrs. Griswold begged to be allowed to sleep for another hour or so, but John was so insistent ?hat she finally had to get up. From then on, it was the custo mary thing. Packages were un ? "mapped, and paper and string ?"?ere scattered all over the living -oom. So were the toys and other "hristmas presents. "Oh. boy!" exclaimed John Jr. as he opened uo a package and found, that it contained a beautiful bow ?>nd arrow. He immediately fitted the arrow o the bow and shot it through one -?f the living room windows. One -?ane of the window was busted 'nto smithereens. Mrs. Griswold immediately scolded him. # , "Oh. let him be," advised John. "He didn't mean to do it. Besides, this is Christmas, and children i should not be scolded on Christ- i mas day." In due course of time, the family 1 set down to breakfast, Geneva, the cook, dropped a plate of bacon and ' eggs on the floor. John felt that cooks weren't included in the non scolding edict, so he bawled her out. Whereupon Geneva grabbed up j her hat and announced that She | was through. "If another tiling happens this! morning, 1 11 go crazy." said Mrs. Griswold. "Nothing is going to happen." . John consoled her. "Don't ?et all excited and give yourself a head ache. It'll ruin the entire Christ mas for you." When the breakfast dishes had been cleared away. Mrs. Griswold announced: "If you don't mind, I believe I'll go upstairs and lie down for an hour or so. "Go right ahead," said John. "I'll look after the children." "Please see to it that thev don't 1 get into any trouble;" begged his wife. "I'll keep my eye on them," he assured her. So Mrs. Griswold went upstairs to bed. The children were busy, playing with their toys. John sat down to read the , morning paper. When he finished with it, he : threw it on the floor. Then he | glanced about him. Both the liv- , ing room and the dining room were in a mess. Things were scat tered from here to yonder and back again. John got to thinking. He knew that his wife had a strenuous day ahead of her. For one tiling, there was Christmas dinner to prepare And a lot of other housework be- ; sides. She hadn't been feeling wel1 lately and he was afraid that too much extra work might put her in bed for a few days or a week. So he rose to his feet. "Rosalie," he said, "Where is the vacuum-cleaner?" "In the hall closet." Rosalie told him. He went and got it. He plugged it in. And then, starting in the dining room, he proceeded to clear up. Add then it happened! The top of the bag blew up and almost hit the ceiling. Out of the bag camo an accumulation of two weeks' dirt, rug-fuzz, and grime, it rose in clouds and spread throughout both rooms. John Jr., after a moment of sil ent amazement, ran to the door, opened it and shouted: "Fire!" i Next-door neighborse responded promptly. But bv that time, the clouds of dust had begun to settle. They set- ' tied on the Christmas tree, on the rurnjture, on the Christmas pres ents, on the wrapping paper, on John and the children, and upon everything else that was conven ient. Mrs. Griswold came clattering down the stairs, and when she saw what had taken place, she collap sed. She sat down on the bottom step and wept. Never had she had such a feeling of complete frustra- j lion. The upshot of it all was that John spent the next two or three hours cleaning up things, alter Which he had to take the whole family out for* dinner. When Geneva, the cook, heard about it, she laughed fit to kill herself. ' The nearest relative to the hip- i popotamus is the pig. Tradition Says Tree Originated In Egypt The Christmas tree, now almost a universal symbol, probably came to America from Germany, al though tradition has it that Christ mas trees originated in Egypt. The palm tree is supposed to put forth a branch every month, and a spray of this tree, with 12 shoots on it, was used in Egypt. German writers mention the tree as early as 1605. The German prince Albert, consort of Queen ; Victoria, introduced the Christmas I tree in England when he had a tree for his daughter.' Basilica Of Nativity j Is 1,620 Years Old The Basilica of the Nativity at Bethlehem is one of the oldest churches in Christendom, having ! been built 1.620 years ago. As it stands today it represents the original building as erected by the Emperor Constantino and res torations and additions made under Justinian. It is surrounded by three con vents of separate faiths, Greek, Latin and Armenian. All three have the privilege of worshipping in the Grotto of the Nativity, and, sur prisingly enough, all three cele brate Christmas on separate occa sions. Clyde Drops Two Games To Cherokee The only Haywood County cage team in action this week, Clyde, conducted an unsuccessful invasion of Cherokee Tuesday night, losing both ends of a doublehcader, the girls losing 51-25. and the boys, 49-29.

Naturalized Citizen That's Our Santa Santa Claus as Americans know him is a naturalized American citi zen. and "as such is America's con tribution to the Christmas legend. That's the opinion of Dr. Gustav O. Arlt of the department of Ger manic languages on the Los Ange les campus of the University of California. "The Norwegians who settled early in America brought the first version of the modern Sanfa Claus, who in Europe had been known as St. Nicholas, but never adequately personally described." said Dr. Arlt. "When the American Clement Moore described the jolly, rotund gentleman in minute detail in his poem " 'Twas The Night Before Christmas," he assumed-the pro portion of living legend and thus became an integral part of Chris tian legend and folklore," the pro fessor stated.
