Little Christmas. Cheer In Korwn Front Lines

By Bill Boll

(Canadian Press Staff Writer)

WITH CANADIANS IN KOREA. Dec. 25 - (CP) - A string of. greeting cards strung across an earthen bunker wall . . . a paper bell and perhaps a streamer or two fashioned from a gift wrapping . . maybe an evergreen bough-that was Christmas on the front line in Korea.

Pfor the United Nations soldier up front it was Just another day. with time out for a bottle of beer, "compliments of the house."

No turkey in the Korean hills-

Just ordinary rations because his outfit is saving its Christmas fare until he can leave the line for a few hours. A letter home in the afternoon . . a little snooze-a daydream of the folks back home . . . check and oil his weapons-and at night.-fail the usual watch over the snow- patched hills for signs of a Chl- nese Communist patrol.

It was not as bleak behind the lines. Most company command posts rigged a Christmas tree. The padres held as many services as possible. There were carol sing- ing and Commnulon services.

NAAFI (navy, army and air force institute) built up is sup-

ply of spirits, fruit cakes and other delicacies.

The Van Docs were to be pre- sented with clgaret lighters. Wo- mentp auxiliaries of most units sent Christmas parcels.

Brig. M. P. Bogert was to spend a full day of visiting.

The Patricias began their cele- brations Sunday when the first company was sent to rear echelon for eight hours of celebration, in- eluding a shower, church parade, in beer and a meal.

The Van Docs sent 20 men daily from each company to rear echelon to s ower, attend mass, have din- ner nd digest it watching a movie. Maj. Pierre Chasse of Ottawa bought paper hats, Christmas crackers, novelties and noise-mak- era for the celebration.

The Communists didn't forget Christmas either. Nightly their patrols have been leaving bundles of Christmas cards in no man's land-gaily decorated cards carry- ing the message; "Peace is a bles- sing."

Local troops retrieved one bun- dle for information punposes. The commander ordered his men to "show complete contempt by leav- lng them to rot."

A large number in York attend- ed the schooi Christmas concert held in Marshfleld Hall on Thurs- day evening, December 9th, when the school students and their teacher, Miss Nelda Richards, a former teacher of York, presented a lovely and well staged Christmas concert.

i The decorating of York United Church, which was undertaken by the members of Evening Auxiliary, was indeed very beautiful to its effect.

A large num- ber of white tapers in white, crys- tal and silver candle holders ad- orned the sacrament table alld pulpit. A large scalloped band of evergreens intermingled with icicles and silver stars surrounded the walls and windows. Back of pul- pit and choir a large dark blue curtain adorned with small and medium stars and one very large star representing the Star of the East was lighted by many colored electric bulbs.

Busiest Season For Postal Employees

A sigh of thankfulness was giv- en by the workers at the Post Of- fice here when Christmas finally came. Captain J. J. Connolly. Postmaster, said it was one of the busiest times ever seen here.

The exact percentage of in- crease in the volume of mail over last year could not be determined last night but Mr. Connolly said that it was more than the normal increase which is being felt each year. One of the factors which entered into the distribution of the mail this year was the weather. Open roads allowed all carriers to reach their destination and as a result there are no ”holdovers" in the post office here.
