WhatrIn
A Nae?
It has sometimes been asked
why the mother country of the'
British Commonwealth is known
by so many different names.
Sometimes it is called the Unit-
. •t'd Kingdom; sometimes, Great
Britain; sometimes, just Britain.
The official name is The Un-
ited Kingdom of Great Britain
and Nor•bhe•rn Ireland; and that
lodes the island of Great
Britain W.11 (IMprises,En•gt..,
land, Wales and Scotland, in
eluding the smaller coastal is-
lands) and the province • of Nor-
thern Ireland.
The name Great Britain was
officially adopted as the title of
the triune kingdom of England,
Scotland arid Wales in 1707,
when the crowd of England and
Wales was formally united with
that of Scotland, (even though
one monarch had ruled over all
three countries since 1603).
.In 1801, with the union of Inc
British and Irish parliaments,
the name of the realm was
changed to the United Kingdom
DI Great Britain and Ireland.
. Then, in 1922, the Irish Free
State (now the ilepublic of Ire-
land) was ..estahlL heel, and se -
retied from Great Britain: How-
ever, points out the Encyclo-
pedia Americana, the six cen-
t ral and eastern counta.to, of Ire -
remained loyal -lo the
Crown and thus became the
Province of Northern Ireland.
In short, Great Britai -pro-
perly refers only' to they three
countries, England, Scotiland
and Wales, plus the offshore
i4ands; whereas. the United
Kingdom also, includes North-
ern Ireland.
-The total population of the
United Kingdom (1 61 census)
was 52,675,556, with England

FANTASY OF CHRISTMAS,

The fantasy of Christmas be-
'coines an integral part of your
