Choirs Join In Singing of Carols

The Kinsmen carollers again gathered at the "'1':-es" on the oar- ner of Queen and Grafton last evening to sing of peace on earth and goodwill towards man. Their voices were heard over Paul's sound system through the gener- ous co-operation of Moore and Ma.cl..eod. and people who heard the music three and four blocks away came to listen, and some- times to sing.

The choir was composed of volunteers from all city choirs. and was under the capable dir- ection of Mr. Stanley Lancaster. It is hoped that this will become an annual event. bringing as it does the spirit of Christmas and the simple pleasure of joining in the singing of the beautiful Christmas music.

Santa was present with his rosy cheeks and hearty greeting, and was surrounded by an excited group of children immediately he made his appearance.

This evening the giris' choirs from the Baptist Church and the Kirk will be heard between 1:30 and B p. m.

three-pronged offensive.

At Chongong, 32 air miles north of Seoul. the Red invaders were punching at United Nations de- fences south of the lmjin River, trying to break out on the road

to Uijongbu. Farther colt, two pincer: were slicing across the parallel to sni-p off Chunchon.

highway and rail centre 45 miles northeast at the South Korean capital.

Camels were reported to have been seen in the immediate area. "suggesting that the attackers were Chinese Communist forces." an army spokesman said.

Aggressive. Probing

M.-icArthur's headquarters said "persistent. aggressive probing action" in the 38th parallel area "indicated the enemy intention to repeat his late-November offen- sive."

That was the Chinese drive which drove Lt.-Gen. Walton H. Walker's U. S. Eighth Army back from the approaches to the Man- churian border to positions now south of 38th parallel. and which has restricted the U. S. 10th Corps to a toehoid in Northeast Korea.

Headquarters estimated that two reorganized North Korean army cor-ps and one Chinese Red army corps formed the vanguard of the new Red offensive-a force total- ling probably 10 to 12 divisions. This meant a minimum of 80.000 and a maximum of 120,000 Reds.

Another 15 Chinese divisions are believed moving up from the rear.

Still Holding Bewshhal

In Northeast Korea. where Am7 erican soldiers have been holding a dwindling beachhead since com- pletion of the Marine withdrawal from the Changjin reservoir sec- tor, Dec. 11. two Red attacks were smashed.

The Chinese Reds. who hid ringed the beachhead 100.000 strong. appeared to have turned the costly siege over to three re- habilitated North Korean Red divisions-perhaps 30,000 then. i

An American spokesman said the I-Iungnam operation is pro- ceeding according to schedule.

At Hungnam. the curtain of military security was lifted brief. ly. U. S. gloth Corps authorities said 25.000 Korean civilians. in- cluding 300 officials. technicians and police had been loaded aboard tarnsports and evacuated to Pu. son. the biz Allied Port in south-

east Korea.

"WHAT CHRISTMAS DOES TO ME" Alfred Grant Walton

Bring the candles. light the tree. There's something Christmas does to me. It weaves a charm, it casts a spell.

It shed: a warmth I cannot tell-

It melts the years with magic art. It makes me young again in heart: I long to give where pity pleads, I think of friends and human needs.

I thrill with joy as from afar

I hear a song and see a star. whatever else may be- For all that Christmas does to me.

” CHRISTMAS . Ce 6 it 14.? .4:

Christmas trees that couldn't find their sea leg.

when the Nootka left Halifax Nov. 25. bound for Korean wat- ers. four Canadian fir trees were potted and stowed aboard the de- stroyer, a present from Mayor Gordon B: Kinley of Halifax to the Mayor of Honolulu.

only a few hours out of Halifax. the Nootka ran into a. wild At- lantic gale and while crew mem- bers struggled to gain their sea

legs with varying degrees of ne- cess the four trees writhed in their tubs and wilted.

By the time the Nootka had shaken her bows free frmn galo- drlven Atlantic oombers she wal into the sizzling hot oi thl trorpim-and the trees just couldn't take it. Their limbs sagged, till needles turn-ed brown.

The Mayor of Honolulu won't have Nova acotian trees for Christmas this year.
