5arnethig About Carols
In 1521 Wynken de Worde print•
ed the first known set of Christmas
carols.
The carol was originallY a joyous
dance, a sigh of liberation from the
raiigious austerity of the Puritan
era. Percy D,aiu,.t', writinv to "The
Oxford Book of Carols: 'says. "The
carol, by forsaking the timeless con-
templative melodies Of the church,
began the era of modern music,
which throughout ]pas beeu based on
the dance."
The word 'carol" is from roan:
tars," to sing, and "rola' a joyful
interjection.

It was separated into small portions
and divided amongst the Worship-
pers, who carried it house and 1iunl
it over their house doors, as a pro-
tection against minter dangers.
.So here is one reason why misale-
the finds a place in oar 'tomes, at
Christmas. But why do lovers kiss
under it.
Going back to the Norse legend,
we find that Freya'+s spell ordained
that the "Kies or Peace" must be ex-
changed under the Plant, to salvo
the woes which fell upon 'the earth
with Baldness death, and lair this
reason to Druids called it "AB
Heol."
-Tr rap f the Franks, the plant
was still regardedas a peacemaker.

tree where the Mistletoe hung, a

Picture the Christmas decorations on your door. With high speed films
such pictures are easy—even with a box camera, if it can be set for "time"
exposures.
ADEBAT many of us take snap-
shots indoors at night using
flood or flash bulbs and high spee
film. Nowadays, such slots re
about as easy as daytime pictures
outdoors• in fact, anybody arm take
them with the most inexpensive box
camera just by following simple
instructions.
However, there's another field for
night photography with the new
fast films ... briefly, night scenes
outdoors, These .can be pictured
with any camera that can be set for
a "time" exposure,
Taking the pictures is simplicity
itself. Place the camera on a firm
support, such as a tripod box, post,
or other solid object. Loan with high
speed film, of course, and time the
exposure according to the existing
light, se follows:
When picturing street scones,
with street lights of average bright-
ness, give a time exposure of 10 to 50
seconds with a box camera, or other
Camera at 01 lens opening., if
there is snow on the bground, 5 to 1b
When picturing illuminated ob-
jects—such as an outdoor Chrrstfnas
tree, or the decorated doorway
above—expose for 10 to 00 seconds
with a box camera or at f/11 with
the focusing type. If in doubt as
to tho brightness of the light, make
three shots --giving say 15 seconds
for one, 45 seconds for another[ and
00 seconds for the third. Dim light'

Floodlighted buildings can be pica

Try taking a number of outdoor
shots at night this winter. Night
