Students Enjoy Christmas Play At High School

The play "Don't Open Till Christ­mas" by Rllla Carlisle was present­ed December 21 in the East Haven High School auditorium. The case

•Includes Madelene RlcciteiU, Robert Heeler, Edward McFarland, Mary-ann Dalkln, " Marjorie Ahlberg, George Byrne and Suzanne Boyce. Stage and Lights were taken care of by George McManus and Richard Merrill. It was directed by Mary Anne Soallse; assistant director was Audrey Sause.

A typical Christmas story suitable for a high school audience was en­joyed by the entire student body. Many holiday problems arise and are confronted by tlie "Bells" of "Don't Open Till Christmas" but the once selfish family ends the story happily especially for Mr. Bell. This play was under the super­vision of Miss Eileen O'Neill who is in charge of East Haven Drama Workshop.

DECEMBER COLLECTIONS ARE HIGH, RAFTER SAYS, BUT MANY STILL OWE

December collections will probab­ly exceed those for the past five years, Wilfrid J. Rafter. Tax Collec­tor, announced this -week. "Decem­ber, is normally slow for collections, but delinquent tax-payers have been advised by. notices and per­sonal contact that additional in­terest and' penalties would be in­creased if their, taxes were not paid. The results' are 'i ery 'gratltyihe,' the tax collector said. • , .' ^

Mr. Ratter urges those who have not yet paid their 1948 automobile taxes to do so immediately in order to avoid delay in removing tiielr names from the delinquent list at the motor vehicle office.

January. 15, 1950 Is the deadline before Hens are . placed on real property where the 1948 tax has not been paid. If a lien is recorded a penalty of $3.75 must be charged before it can be removed.

Tlie cii'oumstanoo la unusual since Miss Weil's effort was not Judged in tha Connecticut llpols duo to,,an erriirbti the pattdf the state chair­man.

In no way Is the New Haven group or Miss Wells liable for the dis­appointing event which nearly cost her a right to the national title.

The state chairman neglected to notify the New Haven Chamber of the date of the state finals hold in Hartford The contest was held without the New Haven entry and the Westport High School entry was Judged the winner.

Because of the "grevious" ad­ministration error, tho New Haven Junior Chamber of Commerce ex­erted every influence to have her transcription considered. .

It was decided that Miss Well's transcription would b e Judged with the Westport entry before a special panel ot Judges in Washington, D. C. to determine a state winner and entry into the national finals.

The New Haven group has already forwarded Miss Wells' transcription to tho nation's capltol tor considera­tion tjy the Judges.

In throe years of competition, the New Haven entry has been taken by East Haven entrants twice and they were runners-up once. Mary-anne Doolcy and Joan Wells are the winners and Miss Wells was the second place contestant a yeariago.

To many thlnklnp; .people tills greeting will strike an ironic note In the year 1949; "How," one might ask. "can you l)ave a merry Christ­mas when the world Is in such a turmoil of hate and lll-wlll? In the midst of what, looks like the pro­logue to ClvlllzatlBn's self-destruc­tion, how can you be~merry?"

The answer can be found In each person's heart and conscience. This celebration of the birth date of the Prince of Peace Is indeed an occas­ion for sober reflection. I t need not be sad, however There are forces at work in the world which can dam the flood of disaster, and If we as individuals are , taking our maximum part In assisting those forces, we can have real reason for rejoicing.

Probably the most destructive force In th6 world Is hate, and It may fairly be said that many of the world's troubles .stem froni this one cause. Hate is a cancer which grows in the.person who harbors it.untU like any other cancer.it destroys him while harming the object of its har t rednot at all. Hate is the product of fear, so that the prob­lem resolves itself In this respect Into one of convincing those who hate that they have nothing to fear.

At this Christmas season It Is well to remember that He whose bU'th we commemorate was a doer, as well as a thinker and philosoph­er. He was never one to be satisfied merely to know what should be done; He did It. If you have thought out what you believe is necessary to substitute peace for war, love for hate,, and law tor chads, you need only ask. yourself whether you per-sonally'are doing every -thing, no matter how small, which you can do to accomplish that end.

Let us add our labors to our pray­ers, to the end that the prophecy of."Peace,on .Earth, Good Will toward Men" may become a-living reality, and we may say with the ring of real conviction,

"Merry Christmas to alll" •VVllllam C. Starkweather,

•J -v "Heavenly Choirs sins Allelujah" What shall I render to my God,

that shall constitute a perfect gift? Qod gave his perfect gift, to man­kind, and the Angels sang and heaven sent Its, hosts of angelic choh-s, to sing of the heavenly gift. Kings from the east brought price­less gifts, to honor tlUa heavenly gift, and shepheards worshiped In •wonder and adoration, ^Vllat shall I offer to this Priest from the heavenly courts, this King of Kings, this Prince of-'Pence? No ordinary gift must I pftisiilt to him. Once upon a time liV tile long, long ngo. So the legend saysVa Saintly woman spent her whole life doing good to her neighbors, •feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting those in distress, a},>d-, comforting - tlie broken hearteo; And as a crowning gift to her ooiiipmimlty, she built a beautiful church lor her city, and In the Tower qf the great Church, She caused to he hung beautiful bells, but there vvcce no ropes placed on the bells, and .llie Bell chamber was seald, and then BIIQ instituted a custom of bringing to the Christ­mas on Christmas day, a "Gift" to be placed at theleet of the infant Jesus and she' told the people that when any one brought a perfect gift, then the bells would peal out In all their beauty In Praise and Glory to God, Now, away back In the hills, lived two little boys, brothers, one was Petro and the younger brother was Tony, And Pelro decided that Ho would give-to the Christ, this perfect gift, and Ho decided It must be Gold, tor that was what the wise men, gave, Soi all the long years lie saved each Jlttle thing he corn­ed, ,and just before Christmas he had gotten together, the price of the little gold coin. His gift to the Lord Jesus, And very early, when It was yet dark, -the brothers started

Moss In the beautiful Church, and Petro's heart was near bursting with Joy, as he saw himself placing his gift, on the Altar, Tlie snow, was very deep, and before they reached the Town, they found an old woman loylng in the snow, where She had follen, asleep, Petro raised Her and began to revive her. He could not leave Her to die, so said he to Tony, Jesus would never like me to do that, so He gave his Gold coin to Tony, and sold for him to hurry to tho Church, and put It on the Altar, and then ask the-Father to send back help to him, lor tlie old Lady, and so Ttony went through tho deep snow to the Church, in the mean­time all tlic people; had placed their gifts, on the Altar; .but tho bells Hi the Tower had not rung, even the King himself had placed his Jewel­ed crown and his Septor upon the Altai, but no sound .tamo from the bells In the Tower. And then a little snow covered boy came down the Aisle to the Aliac lihd put his brother Petro's little gold coin on tho marble Altar, and as the gift rang on the Altar, tho bells of tho Tower burst forth In glorious song, peel after peel of silver tone, fot the perfect gift had been given, Petro, had gWon himself, ho surrendered all, tn save a dying soul, and so ho rendered unto Qod something greater than Gold or earthly power, for God ftave life, when lie gave his son.

He was Harry W. Brlnloy, creator of the column called "As Mr. Bcln-''ley Sees It", •which appears weekly in these pages. Outside his home-In, lilic Annex, inite shoppers were scurrying with a r m s laden with packages.

To bo sure his eyesight never re turned to lul l vision but brilliantly I colored, birds new, green was more than a color, It was grass green or elspltclonUfled with other shades such as leof green.

To feed birds this winter, feeding stations well stocked with varied fare should be located In strategic positions where one can observe the birds.
