Men, women and childrein from Protestant churches blfnd their voices in carol singing before the blazing Yule log. This Christmas Eye custom is becoming increasingly popular throughout the country.

P j«V g pg * * or* j* LjtWOmWw b» By Ancel Beauregard TTARVEY BUTLER ran a chapped hand through the lank brown hair that fell over his forehead and stared contempftuosuly at Jack and Gordon Linter. Their blue eyes were on him, wide and questioning. “You sure there ain’t no Santa , Claus?** six-year-old Gordon asked worriedly. Harvey laughed. *Course the Linters were little kids, six and seven, but they ought to know better. “You think I’d be parading around in split-out jeans an’ a patched shirt if there was?’’ - • ’’Probably Santa Claus is bringing you new ones for Christmas,” Jack said bqpefully. Harvey sneered, thinking of the barren Christmases at his house. | They whre if they had a tree aven. This year on aceount of his little sister—just over three now—mom had said they’d try to have some presents. “Any new clothes I i get we buy,” he said, “an’ usually i I just get my cousin’s old stuff, hand-me-downs, mom calls them.” | “Well,” again Gordon looked hopeful, “that doesn’t mean anything. Mostly Santa brings toys, not clothes.” “Not to me, he doesn’t. I tell you there isn’t a Santa Claus except lor your folks.” Gordon’s eyes filled with tears and Jack looked like crying. “Are you sure?” he asked, his voice quavering. •'Your little sister told me Santa Claus—Kaws she calls i him—is coming to your house.” The wind seined to whistle I through all the holes and thin places in Haryey’s clothes. “Carol said that? Honest?” I . \ "Yeah,” Jack said, “you know j how funny she talks. She said he Was coming through the door, you don’t have a chimney, when the lights* are out and bring her a doll and some other things.” “WhatJthings? Try and remember.” Haryey felt chilled. If Carol was expecting Santa Claus, counting on him like these kids . . . How would she feel when he didn’t come? “Doll cradle and a wagon,” Gordon said. “And a trike—“twike’ she called it—painted red. You were just ; ! kidding us, weren’t you, Harvey?” TTARVEY LOOKED at their faces and felt mean that he had told them the truth. After all, he was eleven, big enough to know better, and they were just little guys. “Sure, I guess there’s a Santa Claus, but sometimes he doesn’t get to all the ■ jWk" iiA “You were just kidding us, weren’t you, Harvdy? There really is a Santa Claus?’* houses. Like Carol said, we don’t have a chhnney for him to come down, so he“-probably missed us a couple of times.” The light was back', in the boys' eyes. “Sure, that’s it. What’re ya j making that scowly face for, Hafr- i vey?” This time Haryey chose his words “Well, he might miss our house again this year jand Card’d ■ sure be disappointed, so I yas trying to think Jiow I could see shie got what she wanted. I think I can make her a wagon at the Boy’s Club and a wooden cradle. You think that’d work?” -J “Siire," Gordon agreed enthusiastically, “long as she thi|nks Santa brought them, \she won’t know the difference.” • . I \ “What about the doll and the tri- > cycle? You can’t make those,” Jack j. pointed out. Harvey shivered, leaning against the board fence. “Mom gave me ■ money for a haircut, that I could use for a doll.” Usually Mom give him haircuts ’cause they were so expensive, but she had a burned hand now. “Hey, Jack,” Gordon shouted excitedly, “how about that old trike in the garage? Harvey could fix the wheel ...” - “Sure,” Gordon answered, “and I’ll bet we can find st ne rod paint.”. “And we could make her some blocks at the Boy s Club easy.” Harvey shoved his hands in his pockets, swallowing quickly. "Gee, that’d be she doesn’t have any now/ See you later.” “Gome on, Gordon,” he heard Jack yell happily, “let’s go find that trike." As Harvey hurried toward the bar* ber shop, hei wasi glad he hadn’t J persuaded them there wasn’t a real ■ Santa Claus. It didn’t seem to matter so much with all of them : trying to make Carpi happy. That was the way Christmas should be.
