broadcast by the UN via the cards sold each Yule-tide season for the benefit of the UN Children\u2019s Fund.ALL OVER the world, even .those parts of it that are not populated by followers of Christ, the last days of December and early January are a time of holt-Slay and rejoicing.The traditional turkey and mince pie feast of the United States has its equivalent in other nations: In Spain, leg of lamb in the South and codfish in the Horth; in Latin-America, cool drinks instead of hot punches; in Scandinavia, lut flak and ham.But whether it is Santa Claus, Father Christmas, Pere Noel, or Saint Nicholas whom the smalt fry hopefully expect, the season 5s anticipated by peoples of all languages in much the same spirit.In the Christian world, the earliest official celebrations are held on St.Nicholas\u2019 Day, December 6.In Sweden, St.Lucia's Day, December 13, is commemorated with parades and special ceremonies.Festivities in the Philippines begin on December 16 with the first of a series of \"Misas de Gallo,\u201d or masses of the rooster.The church services are held before dawn, as the name implies, and In churches adorned with representations of the Manger at Bethlehem.In Mexico, too, Christmas begins on December 16.It continues till a week after New Year's Day.The emphasis Is less on gift giving, more on fiestas and religious ceremony.The Spanish world does not use the Christmas tree as a Nativity symbol except In some larger Philippine and Latln-American cities where the American influence has penetrated.But the traditional seasonal colors of red and green are almost universal In recognition.In Spain and most Spanishspeaking countries, gift exchanging Is held off until January 6, the Feast of the Epiphany, commemorating the visit of the Magi to the Infant Jesua with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.There Is a general absence in Spain and Latin-America of the carols so traditional In Teutonic, Scandinavian and Celtic countries of the North, The English carols and German hymns have never been widely circulated In Spanish, In the British Isles and most of the empire, Christmas Is a two-day celebration; the day itself Is a holiday and the day after is \"Boxing Day.\u201d The December 26 holiday got its designation from the custom of distributing Christmas boxes, or gifts, the day after Christmas, In England, Wales and Scotland plum pudding generally is substituted for the United States mince pie or fruit cake.In Scotland, New Year's Day is more Important than Christmas; it is traditional for the tenant to visit his laird on January 1, pay his rent or other debts to whomever due, and enter the New Year \u201cIn the clear.\" It Is \"open house\u201d day with a cup of tea, or something stronger, for every visitor.The Scot Is not \u201ctight\u201d on January 1, except perhaps after a wee too many exchanges of toasts at open house.In countries In the Southern Hemisphere, from Australia to South Africa to Chile, the seasons are reversed and the weather Is usually that of the height of summer.In Argentina, though, mistletoe is Imported to insure that one good custom of Christmas is not alighted.Another Argentinian custom that probably would be welcomed enthusiastically throughout the world\u2014except by harried employers\u2014is double pay during December.Employees are paid the month's wages or salaries twice during the month, once on Christmas Eve and again on New Year\u2019s Eve.The Scandinavian equivalent of the United States eggnog is \"Glogg.\u201d While Latin-Americans below the equator slake their summer thirst with cold drinks, the Swedes and others in the Northern climates favor warm beverages.Glogg is a punch cooked with almonds, raisins and other spices, served at steaming, temperature.The Scandinavian Christmas season is the longest of any throughout the world.It opens on December 13 with St.Lucia\u2019s Day and does not close until January 13.On the last day of the season, children are allowed to raid the Christmas tree for any small gifts, fruits and candies hung as decorations.The animals and spirits are remembered, too.In Norway, for example, farmers give cattle a tub of home-brewed ale at Christmas time.Danes of the peasant class often leave whole suppers on the table for the Christmas spirits.Beds are not slept in on Christmas Eve for fear that one of the ghostly visitors may decide to rest for the night.Christmas shopping starts early in the littie world of Vatican City, There is no import duty there and prices are far less than on the Italian market, In fact, it is one of the best bargain centers in V\u2018\u2018'~ There are meat and packed fish delicacies from the Scan da-navi an countries, the best of French shoes and more elegant clothes, suits and cloth for all purposes from the British Empire.American cigarettea go for one-third the price on the Italian market.There are the latest types of Christmas cards, soma Christmas treea\u2014and even turkey.The great Vatican bakery makes its best bread in December, and there's a good reason.It is called \"the Pope\u2019s Bread.\u201d During the Nazi occupation of World War II, the Vatican distributed bread freely, especially to the poor at Christmas time.Those days have not been forgotten and Vatican bread at Christmas time Is a treat Romans await expectantly.Japan, never a Christian nation by tradition, now has festivities adopted from Western customs.In December the pedestrian or rider in Tokyo streets sees tinkling bells, snow scenes, lavishly decked department stores, \"Santa Sans\u201d and giant Christmas trees.In Tokyo as in Kyoto, Kobe, Yokohama, Fukuoka, and Sendai, native choruses give Christmas performances of Handel\u2019s \u201cMessiah.\u201d Irving Berlin\u2019s \"White Christmas\" is heard in Jukeboxes from one end of Japan to the other.In other Buddhist, Moslem, and oriental countries, New Year\u2019s Day is noted if Christmas is not.In Africa, even if the natives are not Christians, they welcome another holiday and delight in the Christmas tradition of gift exchanging.Although the majority of countries in the United Nations are not Christian and do not observe Christmas in a religious manner, the holiday is recognized by the world organization.Sessions of the General Assembly In New York are arranged to end in time for delegates to return to their homes by Christmas.In the past few years, UN headquarters has been adorned with Yuletlde decorations, and UN Christmas cards ilftltB bfifiB soli {Qf y)9 hiBfifit Oi the United Nations Children's Fund, While now only the North American, the Latin American, Western European, South African coimtries, Australia and New Zealand, recognize Christmas as a religious holiday, all members of the UN send out greeting cards.Such countries as Israel and the Communist States distribute just as many cards as do the Western nations.However, theirs avoid mention of Christmas or New Years and merely wish the recipient \"Season\u2019s Greetings.\u201d The tacit acceptance of the Christmas season by UN delegates is perhaps recognition of the universal wish of the organization for \"peace on earth, good will toward men.\" The latter phrase might well be translated by the United Nations into all its member languages.This is how \"peace on «KUb good will toward men.\u201d appears in a number of them: Chinese (romanized) : Dzai tlen-shang yu yung-gwang gwet Shang Di, dzai di-shang yu ping-an, rem du meng en.Swedish: \"Frid pa jorden bland manniskor, till vilka han har behagl\u201d Italian: \"Pace in terra, benl-voglienza inversogli uomini.\u201d There is less difficulty in translating familiar Christmas greetings exactly.The United Nations Chriatmas cards have put them into print: Wesolych

Beaupense had become Christians.They crowded the castle hall on Sundays to listen to the teaching of Brother Marcus.Now drew near the Christinas season.Brother Marcus told of the keeping of Christmas in the great houses of the South.Beaupense too would keep the birthday of \u201cthe King.\u201d They followed the suggestions that the teacher made.Boys gathered green vines to decorate the hall.Gifts were prepared for loved ones.The castle gates stood open, the tables were laden with food, and all wayfarers were welcomed lo enter and partake of the good cheer.The youths learned carols to welcome in the day of rejoicing.The Count and his children came into the hall two days before Christmas.Many strangers rose to bow before him and thank him for the hospitality.Among them he saw an old man with a harp.\u201cHa.a minstrel,\u201d he cried.\u201cYou are doubly welcome sir.This is what we need to make our Christmas complete.\u201d \u201cMy Lord!\u201d said the minstrel.\u2018T know some noble ballads of Christmas cheer.\u201d \u201cTonight you shall sing them,\" said the Count.\"But.first we sit down to our feast.\u201d When the supper w'as done, the family, kinsfolk, strangers, and servants gathered about the great fire in the hall to listen to the minstrel.First he sang of the first Christmas in Bethle- L Deck Your Halls With Unusual Creations, Easy And Fun To Make If your house doesn't shine this Christmss il won't be for want of new decorations Shimmer of gold and silver lights holiday messages and motif» in ornament.», mobile», table or mantel decorations, gift wrap papers and ribbon», and Christmas eards.Homes will shine, too.with imaginative decorations concocted from\ti the many\t\tnew kits for the per.»,\ton who\tlike\t» to individualire her\tdecorat\t\t Ev\ten the\t1 fumble fingered ean\t mak.\te li e a\tu ti\tf it 1.star pointed svmmetrica\t\t1 bo\twv with a new kit.\tIt has\ta Mi inch roll of rib\t bon\twith\thold\ti punched every tour\tincite\ts.a\thallow »pindle, .uni\tpaper\tf.lN\ttoners A bras» taste\t\u2022ner is\tpoke\td into the »pind!e ¦ m m mm » ood m Each of us.associated with this firm, extends \u2014 \u2022\tto the population of Sherbrookt \u2022\tOUR FRIENDS \u2022\tOUR FAITHFUL EMPLOYEES AND OTHER FAMILIES Tha Very Best Wishes For A Merry Christmas And A Happy And Prosperous New Year.COMBUSTION ENGINEERING - SUPERHEATER LTD.hem.And so sweetly did he sing that they seemed to see the Holy Babe in His manger bed.Then he sang of a later day: how a poor woodcutter coming home at night on Christmas Eve, heard a babe crying in the woods.He found the child and carried it home.The wife warmed the baby and gave it food; the children brought their toys lo make it smile.Then they put the strange child to bed, and all the family lay down to rest.In the morning they awakened by a radiance that filled the room.The babe, in a halo of j light, stretched out his hands as in blessing.Ever after, good fortune fo! lowed the woodcutter\u2019s family in all that they did.As the minstrel sang the closing quatrain, every one was leaning forward, hang ! ing on his words \u201cBlessing on you, quoth the child, As you have done to me.So will our Father do fo you, Now and eternally.\u201d \"Is the story true, good min strel?\u201d asked the Count's son,; Raoul.\u201cSo the tales of the South say.It is told that on every Christ mas Eve the Holy Child comes back on earth, and if any take the homeless Child in, they bring to themselves blessings such as they have never known before.'

the high road for the traveling was easier.But they made many : trips into the edge of the woods.When the sun was high above the glittering white world, they turned homeward in disappointment \u201cI do not see w:hy he does not come fo us; we would give him such a welcome,\u201d said Felice.Just then a low cry sounded through the trees.The children clutched each other\u2019s hand, too excited for words.After a mom-; ent of breathless listening they plunged into the woods again.A little child was stumbling through the snow, sobbing.As they ran to meet him he sank down too exhausted to struggle longer.Felice look him up in her arms, \u201cDarling little one, don t cry.We will carry you home, and keep you warm.They put the child on Raoul\u2019s back, and bound the cloak around him and hurried back to the castle.The warder of the gate raised a cry when he saw the child, and soon all the household came into the hall where Felice sat with the tiny stranger before the fire.¦\u2019See, Mother, see Father!'\u2019 the children were crying.\"We did find a lost child.Can we keep him?he is so dear \u201d \u201cTo be sure you may keep him if hu parents do not come lo claim him,\" said the Count.Raoul brought him warm milk The child drank, and fell asleep on (he settle with his head on Felice\u2019s lap .They all stood about and gazed and whispered.Was he the Christ Child?In his council chamber the Count sat considering the affairs of his domain.The petty offend era were let off with a warning and the added word that it was in honor of the holy birthday.He thought of all the sad and heavy laden in the realm that he ruled, and sent gifts to ease the winter days \u201cIs there anything more lhat 1 might do to honor Continued On Page 4 Ribbon is threaded on the «pindle, usually in lengths of about five feet and when the bow is to your liking, you slide it o)T the spindle with the fastener.Spread the fastener wings and there's the bow.secure.Mary West, gift wrap stylist for a major home decorations manufacturer, uses the kit to make glittering wreath.» of hows and joins two bows for tree ornaments.To make a wreath, cut heavy cardboard in a doughnut shape a» large in diameter as you like;
