Old English Lutherans Set Noel Live Yule Custom To Be Revived Over the years the holiday season has been greatly enriched by the observance of traditional rites from many lands. This year, in Salt Lake City, an cld English tradition will be revived. A boxing Day party will be held on Saturday, December 26, at the 11th Ward, at 951 East 1st South in Salt Lake City, it was announced today by Mrs. Ivy Robinson, Secretary of the British Missions on Boxing Day. Committee Commencing at 2:30 P.M. famines will be entertained by Punch and Judy Show, singers, performers, and the Scots Pipe Band and Sword Dancers. Refreshments will be served, and dancing will complete the program. Mrs. Robinson said, For those who have not heard of Boxing Day before, here is a word of explanation. In the days of the Feudal System, the Lord of the Manor, his family and friends celebrated Christmas together. Next day, the servants and villagers were invited to the manor for a feast, and received their boxed gifts prepared by the Lady of the Manor. Since that time the 26th day of December has been known in Great Britain as Boxing Day. It is anticipated that some 500 former British Mission residents and missionaries will gather for this festival. rJhi(net TRAVEL SERVICE Htmwf B nl IhW lM 1 PHONE 3552141 - 1S Tons Of Toys Nativity, pageant andconcert'wereslatedas special Christmas programs at Student body officers from Hillside Junior High School display a few of the many toys donated by students during their Sub for Santa project.

The sky, already grey, was darkening when the lieutenant began rounding up his men for the three block march back to the train station.
