' From heaven's all-gracious King!" THE ,GUARDIAN. CHARLOTTETOWN DECEMBER 18. 1950 In this sixth Christmas season after those anxious ones of war- Tlme days. the age-old message of Peace and goodwill to men will Waring comfort and joy as it peals out from bell towers and echoes chroug-h vaulted ceilings. . Choir directors have gone far .in, their search for carols which will express adequately t1he'g1ad spirit of the day. They have drawn on old traditional airs. such as In duilci. jubilo. and Greensleeves: -they have adopted many of the tender lullaibies in which the Ger- man musical literature is so rich; the-:v' have borrowed freely from the many fine French carols; and they have adopted many of the Latin hymns, using them in the origirial language or,in a "macar- onic form. comibining two lan- guages. SILENT NIGHT Silent night, Holy nightl All is calm, all is bright. 'RoundC yon Virgin Mother and Holy Infant so tender and mild, Sleep in hcaver.-ly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace!

Still through tihe cloven skies they come With peaceful wings unfurled: And still their heavenly music floats Oler all the weary world; Aibove its sad and lowly plains They bend on hovering wing, And ever o'er i-ts Babel Sounds The blessed angels sing.

These are easy to make and materials for them are easy to find. An utter- tcrnoon session with the children helping turns out more than enough for your tree, with plenty to spare for the tree at school or the one you plan for the club. You will need: Pipe cleaners. C rcolatc drops wrapped in sil- ver foil. The narrowest red dc- corative stlck-on tape - 1-4 In . Paper, metallic. and red and w to striped. Water colors. Pllable wire. To make the chain, dip pipe cleaners in water first, then paint with bright water colors, red yel- low, and blue. The pipe cleaners keep their chenille-like fluffiness better when the water color is brushed on than when they are soaked in paint. or dye. when the paint is dry, twist each pipe cleaner into a circle, linking cir- cles as you go. Bells for the bell ornaments are silver foil wrapped chocolate drops. Because the chocolate drops look so much like bells they'll in- spire you to try ideas of your own. The string of bells is made with the narrow red stick-on tape. Lay a length of the tape, adh ve side irn flat on a table. Not that each candy has a very thin tissue paper strip at the top. Stick these paper strips on to the tape so the bells space about 4 inches spurt. Now double the tape back on to itself so the colored sides are out and ":2 sticky sides are together. The other bell ornaments are made with pipe cleaners. Make a hole in each chocolate drop to about half its depth with an ice pick. or nut. pick. For the curllcue ornament, wrap a. pipe cleaner thc bell cluster use three pipe around a pencil and insert one Are met in Thee tonight. end into the chocolate drop. For cleaners and three chocolate drops. 1:”!

You might use the whlrllalgs with other trimmings or you might like the idea of a Whirligig tree. These little flyaway ornaments in red and white striped paper would make a vcrv gay and different tree. of course you remember how to make them - squares, cut. dia- ' cnnally from the corners almost to the centre. Face the striped 9 paper with another square of the same because both sides show. Gold, silver or colored metallic paper should also be douhlcfaced. Use pliable wire to fasten the points together. Twist the wire at the front and back of the whirli- gig to hold it loosely, then use the same wire to fasten the ornament to the tree.
