RETURN
ENGAGEMENT
BY PATRICIA McCONE
S UE BARNABY, folding the eve
ning newspaper, glanced spec
ulatively at her husband. If he’d
read the announcement of Michael
Haines’ return to the Feather
Room, he was certainly keeping
quiet about it
"Bill, let’s go dancing at the
Feather Room tonight Celebrate
Christmas.’’ She tried to keep her
voice calm. She knew she was
foolish to have a crush on Michael
Haines after all these years.
"Mother’ll stay with the boys.”
“Sure. Let’s celebrate Christ
mas at the Feather Room." Bill
scowled as he ran one square
hand over his thinning brown
hair. "I’d like to see if Michael’s
wearing a toupee.”
She saw he was neither fat nor
wearing a toupee.
“Bill Barnaby, you know
Michael doesn’t wear a toupee!”
Oh, why did she always defend
Michael?
Suspicion
“I know nothing of the sort.
Not only that, but I stispect he’s
put on weight, too.”
Later, at the Feather Room,
when Sue saw Michael mi the
bandstand, she saw at once he
was neither fat nor wearing a
toupee. Bill would be miserable
all right. Watching Bill, Sue felt
her heart tighten, reached for
his hand as Michael approached
their table.
“Sue! Bill! Swell of you to
come!” Michael’s handsome face
lit up. After all, they were old
friends. But she didn’t like the
way Bill looked. He became more
and more depressed as Sue and
Michael caught up on the last
ten years. Before returning to the
orchestra, Michael spoke gravely,
looking at both Bill and Sue,
“You’re a lucky couple! It’s been
great seeing you again. Merry
Christmas!”
Thoughtful
Sue was unusually quiet on the
way home, staring silently into
the gray night. No cooing, no
humming, no tapping of feet.
“Bill, what’d you think of
Michael?” She spoke abruptly but
Bill didn’t even turn his head.
Bill cocked his head and looked
closely at Sue, who continued:
“Well., first of all, you spent two
years in the army, and not sing
ing, either. Then when you came
home, you started the used car
lot with barely more than our
own car, and then you got the
agency, and now you have a
whole city block, with new cars
and used cars and a garage, and
everything. Why, we even have
money in the bank! And the boys,
and our own home—”
“Yeah, I know but—”
“And that Michael Haines isn’t
one bit different in ten years. Not
one bit! He even has all his hair.”
Sue moved closer to BilL “Don’t
you think Michael could have
done better after all this time?
He’s right back at the Feather
Room where he started.’’
“You forgot one thing, Sue. Ten
years ago Michael got a measly
hundred bucks a week for be
witching the crowd at the Feather
Room. ~ For his return engage
ment, he hauls in about five thou
sand a week. You can’t exactly
say the guy’s stood still I won’t
say he’s great or anything like
that; but m give him credit”
Sue noticed there was no angei
in Bill’s voice, no sign of jeal
ousy. It was just like him to sense
it the minute she changed toward
Michael “How come you’re get
ting so generous all of a sudden?”
‘From now on you can hum
ail you want. Tap your feet, too
if you like ”
Sue smiled and felt relieved 11
was ah over at last. Michael was
right about one thing. She and
Bill were a lucky couple “Merry
Christmas. Bill.” she whispered,
thankful they’d gone to the Feath
er Room to celebrate, knowing in
d e dark Bill was happy, too.

THE NEWRERRY SUN. NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROl.INA
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1961
Biblical Star
Even in this advanced
age — with satellites in
orbit, sputniks and rockets
— men of science still find
mystery in the Biblical Star
of Bethlehem that shone so
brightly when He was bom.
Some scholars believe it
may have been a supernova,
or exploding star. Others
think it might have been a
comet or perhaps a conjunc
tion of the bright planets
Jupiter and Saturn.
If it was a supernova in
the Milky Way, astrono
mer's say it would have un
questionably filled ancient
stargazers with awe and the
feeling that a great event
might be taking place.
A “nova” implies a new
star, but actually is not. It
is rather an old star that
suddenly flares up in a dis
play 20,000 to 50,000 times
brighter than the sun. A
supernova is about 100 mil
lion times more brilliant
than the sun.
Astronomers do not know
what causes a supernova.
One theory is that the star’s
supply of hydrogen becomes
exhausted. As the star con
tracts, the core temperature
rises to 110 million degrees
centigrade. The incredible
temperature sets off helium-
fusion processes, and the
star becomes a huge nuclear
fusion reactor which even
tually flies to pieces.

Nicholas, Beloved
Saint of Children
And Christinas
The “Santa Claus” of so
many children in Europe is
Saint Nicholas.
Saint Nicholas, reputed to
be the hardest working
Saint of all — was bom in
Petras, city in Asia Minor.
His history tells of many
great miracles, great deeds
to help the poor and the
needy.
He is patron saint to
bankers, pawn-brokers, un
married girls, children, mar
iners, scholars, and even
thieves. He is said to have
lived in the Third Century
after the birth of Christ.
Over600years later. Saint
Nicholas was adopted as the
patron saint of old Russia
and later by the Laplanders
andSamoyeds. (From whom
he probably acquired his
sleigh and reindeer)
Saint Nicholas is also re
vered in Germany, France,
Switzerland, Holland and
Luxembourg —* and it is in
these countries that he ap
pears traditionally riding
his white horse, carrying
gifts for good children and
whipping rods for the bad
ones. His gifts are bestowed
on December 6th.
When the Dutch settled
hi the American colonies,
they brought with them the
tradition of Saint Nicholas
or “Santeklas,” as he was
affectionately called.
From the tall, lean and
spiritual looking character
in long robes, he was grad
ually transformed into the
image we know now.
