United Stated Jj Chridtmad Carol ‘Mreeting, Place 9 j TN TOWNS AND CITIES through- * out America, in churches, public squares and along home - lined streets, over millions of radios and public address systems come the strains of the world’s Yuletide melo dies—old as bygone centuries, young as “I’m dreaming of a white Christ mas. . .” The United States, meeting place of carols from all Chris tendom, contributes yearly to • the traditions of Christmas music by writing new songs and popularizing old ones. T’^e ’s o f Europe r.rriv-c! with the peoples who came to America to settle. “O Come, All Ye Faithful” (Adeste Fideles), even tually translated into 119 languages and dialects, belonged to no cr.c nation but was the common gift of the continent. From Germany came Luther’s hymn for children, “Away in a manger, no crib for a bed. . England sent “God rest you, merry gentlemen, let nothing you dis may. . And France provided the beautiful “Cantique de Noel” or “O Holy Night.” Three American composers did much to revive the ancient custom by writing new songs which are, to day, among the world’s best be loved carols. “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear” was the Inspiration of Edmund H. Sears, a Massachu setts Unitarian minister, tn 1849. Less than 10 years later Dr. John Henry Hopkins, Jr., Epis copal rector from Williamsport, Pa., composed both the words and music for ”W’e Three Kings of Orient Are.” Perhaps the best-known Ameri can carol, “O Little Town of Beth lehem,” was written in 1868 by Phillips Brooks in Philadelphia. The young Episcopal minister, later | bishop of Massachusetts, was in spired to write the poem by the memory of a trip to the Holy Land two years earlier. The rollicking “Jingle Bells,” though non-religious in theme, also came from the pen of n churchman, John Pierpont, and has enjoyed almost a century of popularity.

SHEPPARD, President More to Mistletoe Than You'd Think In America the high • hanging mistletoe is treasured chiefly for its power to invite a kiss from a pretty girl. The bulk of the holiday decoration comes from the Caro- linas, Tennessee and the southwest where off-season agricultural work ers gather the branches for ship ment throughout the nation. The white • berried plant also I serves as a winter food supply for mockingbirds, robins, and wax- wings. These small birds are re sponsible for the spread of the tree-damaging parasite. After eat ing the berries the birds clean their beaks on the trees, firmly planting the mistletoe seeds they do not eat. The tap root of the seedling pierces the tenderest por tions of the tree—young branches or buds—and the tree sap is drawn into the thick leaves and translu cent berries of the guest plant Though the mistletoe plays the dual characters of destructive kill er and promoter of love, supersti tion has it that the plant can switch roles in a twinkle. For in stance, if the yuletide mistletoe bough isn’t removed from a house by Candlemass Eve (February 1), each leaf left will produce a goblin to plague the careless occupants during the year. dear money hurdles Otifdf 9 !!
