Thomas defeate 7-3 by the Cyclones, The score could have just as easily been doubled in favor of the Cyclones but a seven-day lay- off since their last game dulled the local sharpshooters. Their passing was off and their shoot • - ing erratic, keeping the score re- spectable against • a, club which - had little to offer offensively.

Listowel - Fleischauer (Lockridge, O'Krafka) 11:19 Dutch Celebrate FeastofSinterklaas Patron Saint of Amsterdam Was Born in Child Benefactor Asia Minor; Famed as For centuries, the Feast of Sinterklaas has been unique as a Dutch and Flemish event, honoring St. Nicholas' Calendar Day on December 6, but celebrated on the eve, December 5. Why is St. Nicholas' in- fluence so strong in Hol- land? Primarily because he was the , patrol!' saint of merchants and sailors. The actual Saint lived from 271 A.D. to December 6, 342 or 343, so that his Calendar Day honors the date of his death. He became fainous as the Archbishop of Myra, in Asia Minor, and per- formed many good and saintly deeds. Legend tells us he performed miracles as well, such as calming stormy sea's, dropping dowries into the shoes of penniless maid- ens, . and saving children from dire harm. He ' is now the patron saint of the city of Amsterdam. All Dutch children believe that Sinterklaas, as the saint is now known, lives in Spain, where he spends most of the year recording the behavior of all children in a big red book while his servant Piet (Pete) +ocks up on presents for h next December. 5 After mid-No- vember, Sinterklaas mounts his milk -white ; steed, Piet swings the sack full of gifts over his shoulders, and they board a ship to sail for Am- sterdam harbor and a for- mal welcome by the May- or and prominent citizens. Then comes a fabulous par- ade through town, watched live and on itv by people all over the country. At night Sinterklaas rides across Holland's rooftops and Piet distributes gifts and candy — in exchange for the hay or carrot which children leave for the horse in each little shoe that's left by the fireplace. A Sinterklaas present is not a bit like an early Christmas present. Dutch tradition . demands that all packages be camouflaged in some imaginative way, and that each gift be accompa- nied by a fitting poem. For the essence of Sinterklaas is sheer fun — with kidding expected between all ages and social groups. Presents are often hidden all over the house — and those who get them must be willing to work hard for their sur- prise. The poems that come with the gifts are expected to play good-natured jokes on the giftees and they must be read aloud. After- ward, each person says a loud "Thank you Sinter- klaas!" -- 'which is indeed the way the Hollander feels about this merry and very special Christmas festivity. Know What "Wassail" Means ? This ancient word, famil- iar to us from song and story, comes from the An- glo-Saxon words "Wes hal" --- which means "be whole," or in more modern terms "Good Health." It was used as a toast, before lifting - one's glass — and by exten- sion came to mean a drink- ing song.
