It all started in 1920 when Mr. Berg decided to give a free Christmas party for every kid in Provo if he or she wanted to come. They very nearly did, and eventually it became necessary to limit it to children from two or three consecutive grades in school. In that way every kid could attend the party at least once, and more if desired. By H.J.

The contractor seemed to have little enthusiasm for doing anything about the situation, so the homeowner wrote to the National Association. A staff man there sent the invited.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said it was not ordering automakers cars already sold. to recall Under one system, a temperature sensing device is installed under a car's hood. During cold weather, the device will cut out the emission control system while the car is being started. That is designed to stifle complaints that auto emission devices designed by the automakers have made the automobile harder to start, and cut engine power. A second device in common use limits temporarily effec- tiveness of pollution control at certain low speeds. The two devices appear on a majority of 1973 automobiles.

No matter what the moniker, he's still a good and generous fellow chocked full of cheer. But, er, he's not always a he. In Germany good boys and girls receive their Christmas gifts from Kris Kringle, a young girl wearing a golden crown and carrying a tiny Yule tree. In Denmark the bearer of Yule gifts is an elf by name of Julenissen. Legend says the elf lives in the attic during the year, keeping a sharp eye on the family. He knows who's been good and who's been bad and adjusts gifts accordingly. In that Scandinavian country, Christmas dinner never is served until the Nisse, as the elf is known, has been treated to a bowl of rice and milk in his attic home. In Poland gifts come from the stars. In Hungary, Christmas angels bring gifts. In Syria, a gentle camel brings surprise gifts for children. The camel got into the Christmas act this way: a legend holds that the youngest camel carrying the Wise Men to Bethlehem lay exhausted from the long journey. Children brought water and wheat to revive him. Ever since, the camel travels over de desert each Christmas with presents for the young.
