The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, December 23, 1965 SEC. C—PAGE 1 CHRISTMAS HYMN 1966 The first Christmas hymns with the traditional light tone were born in Italy among the early Franciscan monks. A more se rious work, “Jesus Refulsit Om nium”, (Jesus, Light of All the Nations), is the earliest known Christmas hymn. It was written by Saint Hilary of Poitiers in the 4th Century. Silver Decorations Silvered berries, leaves, seed pods and sprays of ivy may be made by pouring a small amount of aluminum paint into a deep container almost filled with water. The paint floats on the water. Dip the mater ial to be silvered into the water and draw it out slowly. Hold it over the container until it has stopped dripping. Then hang it in a dry place for 24 hours. Aluminum paint for metal surfaces works best. Welcome the New, Remember the Old We come to a New Year. Providence passes to each of us a new, clean slate. We have the opportunity, dur ing the 365 days ahead, to record our own individual achievements. This is the way we paint the New Year—time for a new start, with a clean slate. Before we make our first marks for 1966, however, let's not turn completely aside from 1965. Let us look backward with an appraising eye. We cannot merely wipe away our uncompleted assignments because the date on the calendar has been changed. The things that needed doing yesterday, if undone, need doing today, or tomorrow. They are still with us. They won't go away merely because we ignore them. This is as it should be. If we achieve any thing in 1966, it shall be due to the fact that our starting point took into consideration all our successes, achievements and failures during 1965. It is a New Year, yet we as in dividuals are not reborn. We are the same, with the same strength, with the same weak nesses. So, let us welcome the New Year. Let us welcome the opportunity that it provides. But, at the same time, let us be thankful for the experiences of 1935. We are not starting from nowhere, or from nothing. We have things that need doing in the year ahead. ■ 1“ ' ' 'V :V ■■ ■ . V ■ - . . ' -s . id fejaa ■ *. v- ; -- ■ ■ • ■ I yp . Our Best Wishes for A Happy Holiday! ©»CW. INC.
