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.
Here is the recipe for a cherry
bowl which will help extend a
hearty welcome to your Christmas
guests.
CHRISTMAS WASSAIL
2 quarts sweet cider
6 whole cloves
1 three-inch stick of cinnamon
6 whole allspice
H cup light brown sugar
Juice of 6 oranges
(16 to 20 punch cups)
Simmer the cider, spices and
sugar for 15 minutes. Let stand for
12 hours. Then add orange Juice.
Strain, reheat end serve.
Serve wassail hot from a large
bowl and green cherries, orange
slices or small baked apples float
ing in it. 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.
TEST PILOT This seven-
year-old is wide-eyed with de
light as he operates a remote
control plane, pylon and airport
shown at New York’s Ninth An
nual preview of toys. 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.
