C„ Dec. 17—The turbulent year of 1952 finds the Moravian community of Old Salem, in the North Carolina city of Winston-Salem, observing the Christmas season with customs whose serenity and reverence have remained unchanged since they were brought to America from Germany more than 200 years ago. One of the most cherished cus toms of the Moravians is the Love feast, which is a very simple ser vice based on the idea that all Christians are one big family and can show this fellowship by meeting and breaking bread to gether at such religious seasons as Christmas and Easter. At the Home Moravian Church, built in 1800, there will be Christmas Love feasts on Dec. 24 this year, be ginning in the morning and con tinuing on until midnight so that every member of the community, as well as guests, may take part. The service is usually one of songs by the choir and congregation, dur ing which small, handmade bees wax candles are distributed to the entire congregation to be lighted and held aloft as a symbol that each person present will, in the coming year, try to follow Christ as the Light of the World. Coffee and Christmas buns are served at the end of the service. The fragrant candles are made by the women of the church, who begin this work each October. Candle moulds fashioned by early American craftsmen are still used. Each candle is trimmed with a small ruffle of red, fireproof paper. The use of the candles in the Christmas sendees was started in 1747 by a young Moravian min ister in Germany. Some 3,000 candles are required each Christ mas by the various Moravian churches in the Salem vicinity. Old Salem itself represents a unique survival of an early Amer ican planned community. It is ap proximately 16 city blocks in size and is now incorporated as a pari of the thirving industrial city ot Winston-Salem. It was foundec 200 years ago as a religious, cult ural and industrial center of the Moravian settlement of Wachovia a 100,000 acre-tract obtained Iron Lord Granville. In Old Salem an brick, fram^ and log building: ■ which have survived storms, war: and the industrialization of mod ern society and are still servim as sturdy homes, schools an< churches. The roofs are of tile | and the brick walls are of rose I Convictions For Traffic Law Violations Drop RALEIGH, Dec. 15—Convictions for various traffic violations on North Carolina highways in No vember were at a new low, the Department of Motor Vehicles re ported today. Reckless driving violations alone dropped from 1.343 in October to 1,008 last month, the lowest re corded for the year. And driving without a driver’s license resulted in 1.181 convictions, 139 fewer than in October. The speeders held their own however, Arrested and convicted for exceeding the state's legal speed limit were an even 3,100 motorists, or 326 more than in October. Other violations reported in the regular monthly summary were as follows: faulty equipment, 374: failing to stop for a stop sign, 326: improper lights, 151; im proper passing, 144: failing to give right-of-way. 128; following too closely, 88: driving on wrong side of road. 76; and failing to give hand signal, 55. Total convictions for November | came to 6,900 North Carolinians : found guilty of traffic violations, j Out-of-staters convicted came to I 1,032. coloured brick fashioned from the soil on which the town stands. They are simple in design, but characterized by rustless iron rail ings, double-tiered dormer win dows, and beautifully proportioned rooms with thick walls. Buildings are for the most part set flush with the brick-paved sidewalks which line the narrow streets, and the community centers around Salem Square and the Home Mo ravian Church. The word “Salem” itself symbolizes the spirit of j Christmas, for it means “peace.” Candle teas are sponsored by ! the Women’s Auxiliary of the church each December to show people how the candles for the Christmas Lovefeasts are made. Another Moravian Christmas cus tom is the making of the Putz, traditionally a nativity scene or a replica of the church. In the past, almost all Salem families made Putz, but today only a few are fashioned. There is always a very large Putz made in the Brothers House (built in 1769) for display at the candle teas. A traditional Christmas decora tion in Old Salem is the many pointed Moravian star which is used on most doorways. The star, which has 26 long and short points shaped of paper, originated in Saxony. An electric light or candle is placed inside it. Good food is a tradition in Old Salem, where skillful housewives prefer to do much of their own baking, especially for the holiday season. The thin, brown spice cookies known as Moravian Christ mas cakes are always baked in Salem households at Christmas, and have been shipped all over the world. Sugar cake, too, is a Salem favorite both at Christmas and at other seasons of the year. Visitors to Old Salem’s Christ mas services are always welcomed, and come from many states each year to help the community ob service its Christmas traditions. mltrmtrt/yme WANT ADS I Grove Stone & Sand Co.
