street. Individual stores have provided special lighting effects, and in front of the Town
Hall 'a 30 -foot Christmas tree is ablaze of light, as can be seen from this picture ,looking
n8rth, and .which was taken last year. Adding to the effect are gay figures suspended
from lighted supports on each lamp post standard along the street. The Christmas dee=.

Christmas Variety
Round the World
People from many • lands,
speaking as many different
tongues, bring colorful varia-
tions to the . celebration of
"Christmas, Canada -1964!"
• But through ,,,them all runs
the same glorious thread of
reverence and remembrahee on
that greatest of all holy days,
the birth of the Christ Child,
Jesus the Saviour, in a manger
in Bethlehem one thousand,
nine hundred and sixty-four
years ago.
AUSTRIA, •
The whole world owes a debt
of gratitude to Austria, and
particularly to the little Aus-
trian village of Oberdorf by
Salsburg, on the frozen River
Salzach.
It was here that an organist
named Franz Gruber. a priest
named Joseph More, and a hun-
gry little mouse—unnamed—
combined to give the whole.
world a truly magnificent
Ch istmas present.
I't was on December 23, 1818,
that a Mouse chewed a hole in,
the bellows of the organ in
Father More's Church of St.
Nicolas.
Father More and his organ-
ist, Franz Gruber, were aghast.
Because of the hole in the
bellows, the organ wouldn't
work --and Christmas, without
music, was unthinkable!
-Father More hastily wrote the
words for a simple carol. On
his spinet at home, Franz Gru-
ber'picked out a simple melody.
And just before Christmas
Eve, he rehearsed 12 village
children to sing the carol.
On Christmas Eve, 1818, the
surprised congregation of the
Chprch of St. Nicolas saw the
12 children file up to the altar
at Midnight Mass—flanked by
Father More and Franz Gruber
carrying, of all things, two gui-
tars!
To the soft accompaniment
of the guitars, the children be-
gan to sing.
The congregation listened—
spellbound.
Something infinitely simple
and pure of thought was born
that Christmas' Eve 'in Austria,
146 years ago—a carol that will
endure as long as Christianity
itself.
And the carol's name: "Silent
Night!"
DOWN UNDER!
Australians spend Christmas
upside-down, from the rest of
the world—eating -traditionally
hot Christmas dinner, then cool-
ing off from the boilirfg sun on
the beaches.
Australia's Christmas, though
it ponies in December, has the
weather of the July and August
vacation -time of the Northern
Hemisphere!
The pre -Christmas shopping
rush is the same hectic, never -
again experience; but further
inconvenienced by temperatures
that usually hover in the high
90's.
About 80 per cent of Austra-
lians live close to the beaches,
from Cairns in the north, to
Hobart in the south, and west
to Perth—so it's natural that
most should spend their festive
holidays in beach houses, trail-
ers and tents.
There are no Christmas trees,
of course, but many ,Austra-
lians tear a branch 'or two off
the gum -tree, •to serve as a
stand-in.
In the south, where there are
chimneys, the fireplace is used,
but for the most, Christmas
presents are socked into a
spare pillowcase and placed at
the foot of the bed.
Santa Claus still swelters in
his red flannel suit — though
he'd be much better off in
Hawaiian shorts, a crew-cut
beard, and riding a surf -sled
pulled by 12 prancing sea -hors-
es.
His presents, however, are
more in keeping with the cli-
mate—ranging from beachwear
to summer clothes, with the us-
ual sprinkling of unwearable
ties and socks from Aunt Ma-
bel!
Christmas cards still picture
snow -scenes, in this land where
at least three-quarters of its
10 million people hate never
seen snow!
Christmas morning starts out
with baked ham and eggs, and
then the adult males of the
family—whether at home or at
the beach—troop off in "cheer
squads" to visit neighbors,
while mother is left behind in
a broiling kitchen, roasting the
duck, chicken, potatoes, plum
pudding, and all the trimmings,
for a,Christmas noonday lunch.
