And she brought forth her first-born Son; and she wrapped Him inswaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no
room for them in the inn.And there were shepherds in the same country abiding in the
field, and keeping watch by night over their flock. And an angel ofthe Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round aboutthem; and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Benot afraid; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy whichshall be to all the people; for there is bom to you this day in the cityof David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this is the sign untoyou; Ye shall find a Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lyingin a manger. And suddenly there was with the ang«l a multitude ofthe heavenly host praising God, and saying,
GJory to God in the highest.And on earth peace among men in whome He is well pleased.

MINIERS HOMELESS EOR CHRISTMAS
The Bill Minler family offour, formerly of Kent Rd., nowof four different addresses, in¬cluding City Hospital, are with¬out a place to make their home.Their former home, destroyedby the recent crash of a plane,is charred and gaping.
They want to stay in Stow.Son Bud attends Stow High.
Hattie. his mother, wants to con¬tinue her work as Stow corres¬pondent for the Record-Courier.She has been told by her doctorthat die must not live wherethere' are stairs to climb when
vshe is released from the hospi¬tal.
However, husband Bill hasbeen unable so far to find suit¬able quarters so the family can
establish a home again whenHattie is released from the hos¬pital.
They need a one-floor, fur¬nished apartment or house (theirfurniture was all destroyed inthe Are resulting from the crash)in the Stow phone district.
Perhaps a member of oneof the clubs Hattie has helped
with publicity will Itnow of anavailable place. Perhaps a fam¬ily Is wintering In the south, andwould rent their house tempor¬arily.
If you have any solution forthis small Stow family, callHattie Minier at Akron CityHospital. If they have a mixed-up Christmas, maybe at leastthey can start the new year withhope.

VA/aq Back U/her*by Frank Green
A "GREEN CHRISTMAS" BACK WHENChristmas was mostly a home affair when I was a boy. There was
little of the glittering pagenantry of today. More sincerity, less pre¬tense, in our giving. But this Is not a bitter soliloauy.
So far back as 1 remember.we did have a party in the Sun¬
day School.Often a tree andcolored muslin
bags full ofcandy and an
orange for everychild. Theywere strung allover the treewith popcorn
balls and made a pretty show.A Santy Claus handed them
out to us eager kids. There was
lovely singing too, and a simpleplay in which mammas proudlydisplayed their talented offspring.At home we hung up our longwool stockings and hurried downstairs in the morning from our
chilly bedrooms to be the firstto say "Merry Christmas" and,of course, to find out what SantaClaus (?) had put in our stock¬ings. I especially remember twoChristmas mornings.
Sometime before the first one
I had made it quite plain that Ieither wanted a bought sled, or a
pair of skates. Imagine my gleewhen I found both of them undermy stocking. (In those daysskates clamped onto your shoes.They weren't made all in one
piece with the shoes.)The stocking had the usual
orange, candy, and GrandmaStow's doughnuts cut to looklike little children. I rememberjust how they looked. The sledwas short and rather high offthe ground. I soon discarded itfor a long low one that I couldslam down and go "belly bunts."I think my sister Daisy used thelittle one. I learned to skatewith those skates but I alwayshad to wear leather boots whenI skated . my ankles were weak.After the boots got wet a fewtimes they stood alone and heldmy ankles up.
The other Christmas morning,after we were »1I seated atbreakfast table, five of us Greenchildren . four girls and one boy. Father said "Ellen, now bringon the oysters." Mamma broughtthe big dish pan in.' Instead ofoysters it had five oapkins, each
loidea into a silver noiaer witn
our names epcraved on them.The girls' rings were round,mine was flat on the bottom buthipped over the top. I thinkthose rings are still mixed inwith the silverware.
Father spent most of this timeIn the evenings reading or writ¬ing in his study. The rest of thefamily were clustered aroundthe big wood base burner in theliving room. I had my "nose ina book" or was playing chesswith my sister Mary, the onlyone of the girls that cared for it.Father would come in and readaloud, from anything he liked,to all of us. It might be a poem,a selection from Hamlet, or ifit was Christmas Eve, it couldhave been "The Night BeforeChristmas."
We all liked fun but gotmuch of it right at home. Wecouldn't hop into our new car
for we had none, and we hadsome responsibilities. The cows
had to be fed and milked. I spokeof the base burner in the sittingroom. It was a wood-hog butthere were six other stoves inthe house and only one boy tocarry wood for them, oh well, Ilived a long time through it and Istill love Christmas. I am notso very old!
Town HallLast week Village Council
passed a resolution exemptingfarm buildings from the controland regulation of the buildingcode. Farm dwellings and resi¬dences are not exempted.
Each councilman leaving coun¬cil made a short farewell speechto thank everyone concerned, andconcluded they had accomplished'some good* during their tern.Newly elected council mem¬
bers were present to watch andlisten.
Coming in the future: moreabout Tri-County's plan for Stowand introductions to your newcouncilmen.
Terry Talks of Highby Terry Mclntyre
Here a party, there a party, everywhere a party, party, party. TheChristmas vacation is here and everyone is getting ready for guests,Santa claus, or/and parties. Saturday night after the basketball gamethe members of the Glee Club and all the seniors met at Cindy
Brown's house for eats, chatter,and lots of fun. She had a wonder¬ful tum out and as they say, themore the merrier.
Monday, the twenty-eighth, therewill be a taffy pull and slumberparty at Terry Moore's house. Therewill be a party at her party, earlyin the evening, to which boys havebeen invited.
»»*«**
If you happen to wonder whereall the seniors are on New Year'sEve, you will find them at BernieCzartoski house. They will all meetthere at 9:00 to say good-bye to theold year and hello to the new.
Last Friday night, the high school cooks had a party at Yanko'sin the honor of Mrs. Marie cross, who is retiring. Mrs. Cross has runthe dishwasher at Stow for the past ten years. Attending the partywere Mrs. Donna BiacK, Mrs.Cathy Detzler, Mrs. Lucille Day,Mrs. Edna Gleghom, Mrs. AgnesKirkpatrick, Mrs. Ruth Lawrentz,Mrs. Bea Ward, and Mrs. MargretMurdick. A flaming shish kabobwas served to Mrs. Cross, itwas her first.
Also, on that Friday, theGlee Club and the Band present¬ed a Christmas assembly for thestudent body. They sang andplayed carols and later invitedthe audience to Join themv insinfeing the more familiar tunes.During this program, the DixieDandies took the opportunity toshow us what they could do with"Jingle Bells" and "Here ComesSanta claus." They did a won¬derful job, every foot wasswinging with their beat.
The C.Y.F. of Stow ChristianChnrch presented a Christmaspageant in front of the church.There were a different set ofperformers each night. OnTuesday and Wednesday, therewere two presentations, on atseven o'clock and the other at
nine o'clock. Today will be thelast performance at ten o'clock.

The Sophomores finally gottheir class jackets Friday. Theyare a beautiful soft shade ofbeige, with striking white trim.The emblems are a brown andwhite bulldog wearing a maroonand gold"S".

As some of you probablyknow, there was some questionas to whether or not there wouldbe a Senior play this year. Theredidn't seem to be any teacherwho could arrange to 'spendevery evening for about sixweeks in order to direct the play.Finally Mrs. Ranta consentedto take the responsibility. Sheteaches English and journalism,and even though she has veryfew seniors in her classes they

Stow Sportsby Roy Ktncofd
Although Saturday night The Stow Bulldogs celebrated their firstvictor^ of the basketball season, they had been soundly defeated thenight before by Springfield.
The bulldogs still lack the key to steady victory. They make manyerrors ana tneir play Is ragged.This, of course, is due to lackof experience. Lack of exper¬ience is due to the lack of anintramural program in the lowergrades.
It is a pity that such a finegroup of fellows should have toface defeat so regularly. A well-rounded educational programincludes physical as well asmental exercise, and our teamhas been severely handicappedin the physical department.
Many successful business¬men were once participants inathletic programs. There aremany examples of such partici¬pation resulting in better citi¬zens. It encourages competitivespirit, companionship, leader¬ship, the ability to make dec¬isions, and a sense of respon¬sibility.all qualities becomingrarer in young people.
A lackadazical athletic pro¬gram such as the one whichexists in Stow schools is detri¬mental to society. Statisticsfrom the U. S. Army and Navy,and from physical fitness testsgiven annually in public andparochial schools, all show amarked softening of our youngpeople's muscles and coordina¬tion.
It would behoove the peopleof this community to look intothe deplorable gymnasium faci¬lities at Stow High, which arenot only inadequate by presentstandards, but also present a
safety hazard during basketballgames as they are played inthese times.
A Booster program mighthelp. If the readers of this col¬umn have any suggestions,please mail a note to The StowPress, Box 603, Stow, Ohio, andaddress it to the attention of theSports Editor.
