Christmas, tl- - - rw been looking over old Christmas 1945! The message I sent you that Christmas came from amidst the rubble and the rum of shattered Nuernberg where I experienced the saddest Holy Day season of my memory. It was spent with the ugly symbols of mans inhumanity to man all about me, the bitter negation of our Saviours teachings. a I was in umform, the uniform of correspondent but I felt unhappy in it, though I had dreamed of wearing what we called in olive drab 1918, once again. assimilated My was undrank eserved. Young men had fought, survived or fallen, finishing a job that I and my generation in high-necke- d "blouses and wrapped leggings had only started. On that day, Christmas, 1945, I wrote: I was as homesick as any young soldier in a lonely outpost with the threat of battle about him. I pictured my own hearthside, my wife and the others about the happy tree, my own tinseled packages unopened and my empty hands reaching out for them vainly over the oceans too wide to span. Everywhere I looked that damp day I saw, not war, but cold, some- thing more tragically eloquent stunned, cramped souls in pinched bodies, hurrying amidst the wreckage of a city which had seen the blossoming of art and handicraft m stone and canvas and parchment which had enriched the world for centuries. Now 1945 what is Nuernberg? Seat of the trial of Nazi war criminals. That was my Christmas, 19451 Christmas, 1946! The second one in seven years when one could really talk about peace on earth without shamed and downcast eyes. Thats what I wrote in this column then and I went on: are and my eyes drop to the rushes. A tranquil water gone turkey! We slow down and pull in toward the shore, close to an island swamp, its edges laced thick with mangroves, those mysterious plants whose grim brown fingers clutch deep into the water as if they sought some invisible and ghoulish enemy in the depth of the water. Low tide leaves them skeleton bare. The sun and part of the sky is overcast but the rest is robins egg blue and the water about it is tinted lilac. Trout begm to bite. And the snook! We are very busy for a while. Then the fish begin to elide me so I take up the camera. A stubborn crane lures us on but always manages to hide behind the mangroves out of focus. One more cast! A fine, fat trout and its time to go in. We push back through the twilight. Into the truck and we bounce back to a gay little tree with the familiar decorations on its branches branches which never knew the kiss of a snowfla'ke, although the spot where I cut the pine tree the day before, a sandy flat, shone as white in the sunlight as a snowbank in Maine.

Twelve men formed a brotherhood in honor of St. Sebastian, promising to pray to him to safeguard their town from further distress. They also undertook to nurse those afflicted by the plague and to bury its victims. Pestilence in medieval days was ascribed to evil spirits in the water, and when the Sebastiani Brethren make their rounds of seven fountains on Christmas Eve they start at the fountain in the Frosch-weid- e where the plague started in the sixteenth century. Their song dates back to the Middle Ages. For their Christmas Eve singing the 12 Brethren are dressed In dark clothes and black silk tophats.

Christmas racketeers take advantage of peoples normal tenden cy to be charitable during the Christmas season. These fakers often fool the public by imitating famous chanties or religious insti tutions. A few years ago groups ol men and women appeared on the streets of several cities In blue uniforms trimmed with red. They used the word Army in their name, and at first glance appeared to be members of the Salvation Army. With tambourines in hand, they went up and down residential streets soliciting at Christmas time. They took in a lot of money, fur themselves. Not a penny of this money helped bring a merry Christmas to a needy home. Using such ruses, it is estimated that Christmas racketeers annually rake in over $100 000,000 during the Christmas season. To avoid being taken In by Christmas racketeers, make the bulk of your contributions to established agencies, such as the Red d Cross, Community Chest, charities and local Institutions which have proved merit and permanency.
