ALL I WANT for Christmas is a TV set was
the theme of the performance by Marjorie
Carter, Darlene Thompson, Anna Haugh,
Judy Malda and Charlene Krohn. The
short skit was a recital of Betty's letter to
Santa Claus. Apparently Betty knew what
she wanted for Christmas and. it wasn't
candy, clothes or toys. The skit was per-
formed at the :t'ur•nberry. Central School

How Many Wise Men? A nszvers Are Many!
Three wise men?
In New Testament stories
of the Nativity, only St. Mat-
thew tells of "wise amen from
the east" — and how many
wise men followed the star
to the manger is not stated.
The tradition that there
were three probably comes
from St. Matthew's descrip-
tion of three gifts — gold, .
frankincense and myrrh.
Another explanation for
the number three i§ the leg-
end that thevwise men sym-
bolized all humanity, in turn
represented .by the races of
Shem, Ham and Japhet, ac-
cording to the editors of The
New Book of .Knowledge..
Early traditionls mention.
varying numbers of wise.
men. Tvielve was the number
traditional in the Eastern
church, while in the West,
mosaics•and paintings show-
ed sometimes two, sometmes
,three, four or more wise men.
During the sixth. century,
the idea that there were
three came to . be generally
accepted. In legends, the wise
-men were given names ,TtMel-
hior, Gasper, Baltasar.
A FULL. HOUSE crowd of parents .beamed with pride as
they listened to their youngsters in concert, The occasion
was the Christmas festivities concert held at Turberry
.Although St. Mathew did
not use `the name "Magi," he
implied it when he wrote of
"wise 'men," for "magi" was
commonly used in Palestine
to mean "great, illustrious."
Today, Nativity scenes
show three wide men or Magi
present at -the manger along
with the shepherds, who
hastened to Bethlehexn on
the night Christ was .born..
Some historians, however,
believe that.. the II visit of the
Magi didn't takes place until
much later perhaps a year
or even • two years -after the
birth . of Christ. .
