THE OLDT00,ER RECALLS
Recollections from 50 Years Ago
By Lafe Redafe
Wal, here it is nigh Christmas time, an I ain't got my
rrlas shopping done yit. I bin so bizzy readin' up on some
o' them old ,/ournals I got layin' around here, I just ain't
had time fer nothin'. (Cilrlstmas tree in America: Thet
Yessir, thet wuz shore an wuz the first year they wuz m
interestin' old paper Grant C. New Amsterdam.
The tree as a emblem o' Christ-
Angle 'useta put out round
here. Fer the Xmas issue
back in '97, he had a special
supple-ment with a huge big
picture (; Father Christmas
on the front.
Yep, nowadays, they don't even
know who Father Christmas in.
They all calls him Santa. Claus
'round here, but I recall readin'
that they still calls the same die
feller Father Christmas back in
the Ohl Country, that is England.
IVAL, I recall readin' in this
special supple-ment o' ole Grant
C.'s thet the xmas tree is a insti-
tution more than 30 centuries old.
Thet's a long time fer a xmas
l tree to keep.
Seems the idee o' the tree fer
Christmas begun back in the old
times with the DruidiCal religion.
The Druid religion WuZ a com-
bination o' worship o' natul'e, sun
an' fire.
The Tree wuz wershilped as
part o' nature, all' eventually led
to our Olrlstmas tree when Chris-
tianity wuz adopted bY the civil-
izexl countries, '(R)rdin' to the
Joumml.
TIlE TREE itself has changed,
but the decorations which s used
today in every home is almost
directly traced back to the ancient
religions. The glass globes and
colored balls we use now.-adays
wuz orig'inally used to represent
the sun an' the moon.
The e-lectrie lights which now
take the place o' tim older candles
is also traced back to the old re-
ligions when the torch and "fire
wuz important in their ceremon-
ies, 'cordiW to this story.
The linked paper chains we have
the kids make every year wuz or-
iginally used as so many emblems
n' eternity.
TIlE OLD yule log, too, which
wuz nsed for so many years in
A HAPPY NEW YEAR and also ta this'country,
an' is still to be found in some
plabes o' the worM, originated in
the ancient Germ'hnic tribal cere-
n Furnitu.00
01se Bits o' the ashes wuz used fer
, 14Dr' special incantations, an"p/eces O'
cMtrcoal is still treasured by
Y9ung boys as possessln' special
powers o' a supernatural nature.

which we celebrate now-adays is
also a resnlt o' ancient celebra-
tions o' Saturnalia, or sun wor-
ship, which begun in Italy.
BY BEIN' persuasive, the early
priests and preachers o' Christi-
anity wuz able to change the an-
nual celebration to become in hoi]-
or o' Christ instead o' the Sun's
return every year.
Before that time, His birthday
wuz celebrated anywhere from
December ] to January 15, and
mas didn't get; to become popular
with the Puritans until after 1800.
They associated it with the Papal
church, an' they didn't want noth-
in' to remind them o' that.
Later. though, they got the
Christmas spirit, mid now prac-
tically everyone in the country
uses evergreen trees to celebrate
Christmas. Even down south,
where they can't always grow
their own.
Times shore hain't changed
much when it comes to Christ-

Hoodsport Kids
Present Pageant
At Canal School
UnuSual en'tertainment wa of-
fered at Hoodsport school last Fri-
(lqy evening wllen a Christmas
pageant and cantata was pre-
sented for the entertainment of
friends and parents by the school
children. Original dialogue, writ-
ten by Principal Sparks. wan com-
bined with Bible quotations to
form the story of the play as nar-
rated by Carolyn DeBard at the
microphone.
Twenty-seven students formed
the choir which was seated in
three rows, each child clad in
a white robe. They sang Christ-
mas music accompanied by Mrs.
Helen Cook at the piano, for the
background of the pageant de-
picting the Christmas story.
Members of the pageant were:
wise men, Bill McKasson. Wallie
Smith and Eddie Burling. Shep-
herds, Eugene Sweeney, James
Sweeney, LOuis Day and Dale Os-
terholm. Angels, Patsy Seymour
and Jeanne Pkercc. Mary was en-
acted by Lois Robbins and Joseph
by Russel Simpson. Assisting as
stage hands were Arden Pierce
and enneth Neagle.
Intermission numbers were fur-
nished by Hoodsport pre-scho01
pupils who sang songs led by Mrs.
Merle Smith to piano music by
Mrs. Helen Bowles, and a com-
bination of first and second grade
,pup.tls who. formed a rliythm band
un(ter the direction of their teach-
er, Mrs. Lee Wiggs, :Mrs. Cook at
the pianO.
Special numbers were presented
by Jim Radtke who played "Silent
Night," and "Brahms Lullaby,"
on his musical saw, and a girls
trio consisting of Judy Palmer,
Janet Rostquist, and Carolyn De-
Bard who sang, "White Christ-
mas,' were encored.
Hoodsport pupils are receiving
unusually fine dramatic instruc-
tion this year due to monthly gen-
eral assembly Programs when one
room each month is responsible for
the stage presentations. In this
way every student in school re-
ceives special training.
A lighted Christmas tree formed
a background following the pro-
gram when Santa Claus passed
out sacks of Christmas candies,
nuts and orangvs which were gen-
erously donated by citizens of the
community.and business houses.
Special thanks to large contrib-
utors should go to Wally Hanson,
who gave a box of candy weigh-
ing over 30 pound's, Steve I4ale
who gave orangesp Fred Paine
who gave nuts, Archie Calahan,
Cal Wilson and other merchants
who gave sizeable cash donations.
Hoodsport PTA ladies who col-
lected donations under the chair-
manship of Mrs. Alice McClana-
hen, also deserve thanks as well
as the sacking committee, :Mrs.
Alice :McClanahan, Mrs. Mtllie
Deschamps, :Mrs. EIeanor Addle-
