For 150 years carols were part and parcel of Christmas celebrations. But, even though carols were harmless, encapsulating the joys of Christmas, they went underground, to be preserved and sung in secret when Oliver Cromwell abolished Christmas in 1647. As carols were songs full of "joyful character' Cromwell would have none of them. Although the recovery of the Christmas carol was slow, in 1766, Goldsmith could say that the Vicar of Wakefield's parishioners had "kept up the Christmas carol." By then, the could well have been sing-- l Krishioners deep religious significance like "While Shepherds Watched" and "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing." And by the time one American visitor arrived in Britain, the prelude to the modern day ca rollers had begun. On Christmas night in 1820, Washington Irving was surprised to hear "beautiful music from rustics." They were the waits - the musical descendants of the nightwatchmen of mediaeval times who would sound a horn or play a tune to sound the hour. By the time of Queen Victoria, of course, Christmas style was in full swing. Victoria, through her consort, Albert, set the fashion for Christmas trees. The Victorian Christmas - immortalized by Dickens promoted the idea of Christmas cheer and goodwill, of groaning tables laden with turkeys, plum puddings and mince pies. Today's Christmas celebrations mark the birth of the Christian Redeemer - yet British families eat a bird from the Aztecs, in the glow of a fir tree from Germany, with mystical mistletoe perched amongst the decorations and very possibly to tne strains of a Bohemian carol, Good King in the this year's Christmas carols stamps from the British Post Office are part and parcel of Christmas festivities. The set of four stamps will be issued on November 22. There will also be a presentation pack of stamps, a special stamp-boopostcards depicting the stamps as well as a special Christmas airletter. The carol is a reflection of Christmas. It can be lusty, jolly and genial. It can be spiritual, religious and k, pious. The combination of religious rejoicing and material feasting characterizes the feast of Christmas. For, although it is essentially a Christian celebration, Christmas has roots buried in the pagan past. Christmas is still Britain's richest customs feastday, taking over age-ol- d and traditions. Flickers of the ancient fire festival of Yule flare when the Yule log is burned. Even brandy flames round the Christmas pudding bring back a dim memory of the perpetual fire kept by early man. In bleak midwinter, thousands of years ago, mankind celebrated the turning of the year. On December 25, the days started getting lighter - it was a time of hope for the new year. The first celebrations of the birth of Christ in late December can be traced back to the middle of the fourth century. Yet many of the traditions and Christmas trimmings of modern-da- y festivities go back before Christianity ... holly and ivy, mistletoe, evergreen decorations, exchanging presents, eating and drinking too much, making merry. The Christmas carols shows a gentle, as surely as it pagan influence celebrates the birth of Christ.

The first step is to check the battery The colder the weather, the weaker a battery' becomes and the more likely it won't respond when needed If you add water during freezing weather, drive your car several miles afterwards so the water and electrolyte will mis and prevent freeze damage The most frequent cause of winter is loose or corroded battery cable clamps You can nutralize corrosion by washing the clamps and battery posts with a mixture of baking soda and water, but be sure the caps are on tight so the soda solution won't contaminate the electrolyte. Have fluid levels checked throughout the car transmission, differential, power steering, radiator, windshield washer Have your antifreeze tested For easier starts, change to a winter-weigoil, unless type you use a multi-viscosit- y Have the entire exhaust system checked for leaks. Carbon monoxide from a faulty exhaust can be deadly. Whenever you notice a change in sound of the exhaust or a smell of fumes inside the car, or if the underside of the car has been damaged, have a mechanic inspect the entire system for leaks.

First the group determined how much it cost per linear foot to provide road, water and sewer services. Costs for police service were figured on a per capita basis. Using these figures the EFS figured how much it would cost to develop a building lot in five different location: (1) city block infills, (2) mile from town with existing police and road services, (3) mile from town without these services, (4) one mile from town with existing police and road services, and (5) one mile from town without services. As might be expected, study results showed that public costs are reduced as the density of development increases and public costs are reduced as the distance of the development from the city LOGAN These days when the high cost of housing is worrying everyone from prospective home buyers to city planning officials, a simple housing fact is sometimes overlooked: it matters, in dollars and cents, where those new houses are put. Although land developers tend to be more aware of costs of development than the average citizen, Mike professor of landscape architecture and environmental planning at Tim-mon- Utah State University, believes that everyone should know what it costs to open land for new houses. "Ultimately, it is the taxpayer who pays for the provision of municipal to new residential developments," Mr. Timmons pointed out. Mr. Timmons and the USU Environmental Field Service (EFS), a group of faculty and students from landscape architecture and environmental planning, biology, history, sociology and natural resources, who give planning aid to growing communities, recently completed a study for Wellsville, Cache County, which center decreases. "The study supports the conclusion that development costs to the taxpayer can be minimized by paying careful attention to siting of houses," Timmons said. HOLIDAY HAWAII BOWL D. 20.23rd SAQQ00 ht.
