C. jHealtk to you In the days of the Saxons, "was- hail” was a popular greeting meaning ‘*health t# you.” It later became a Yuletide drinking toast, and cups of hot wassail were given to visiting Christmas carolers.

Place the bowl on a holly-trimmed tray. WHERE TIME STARTS The starting point of time is the 1 admiralty’s date line, which curves east and west of the 180th mere- dian in such a way that it lies al ways in the ocean. i First to welcome each New Year are the residents of the Chatham Islands, New Zealand, Just east of thp line. From its starting point, the New Year moves westerly at the speed of 1,000 miles per hour. AMERICAN CAROLS Three of our loveMest Christmas carols were written by Americans. In 1849, Edmund H. Sears com posed "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" id in 1859 Dr. John Henry Hopkins Jr., composed "We Three Kings of Orient Are.” “O Little Town of Bethlehem” was written in 1868 by Phillips Brooks.

Helicopter is actually airborn by the pro peller and responds only to the Junior "test pilot” at the con trol panel. Evergreens Mourning Symbols for Finns Evergreens are never used as decorations < in the homes and churches of Finland because the Finns regard them as symbols ol mourning. At Christmas most homes where there are children suspend a “heaven” from the living room ceiling. Such "heavens” consist of a cord framework covered with straw and different colors of paper ribbon, etc., and decorated with paper stars and silhouettes cut in various designs. The effect, when reflecting the firelight and the can dles’ glow, is mysterious and fas cinating. Candles are used profusely in the churches; the altars are banked and the windows are filled with them, so that before dawn on Christmas morning the churches beckon approaching worshippers like brilliant lanterns.
