Merry Christmas From Mrs. Mary Christmas! —~z~7 ' ‘ •! 1 *. J£PhMFjB A VI ifc- . *t" -r ‘ WA 1 ■ V' > ft <SSHk 1 " [ < Mrs. Mary Christmas signs hor name to holiday greetings. By DOROTHY REED Central Press Correspondent RACINE, Wle.—lf you're worried about ail the Christmas cards you have to address this year, remember Mrs. Mary Christmas of Racine. Mrs. Christmas, because of her name, addresses over 4,500 cards by hand every Yuletide season—and she doesn’t even know most of the recipients! She began sending out cards in quantity several years ago when she discovered that some shut-ins were cheered by her name. Then the ’ word got around; Mrs. Christmas' list grew; and now she has to start i early in May in order to finish her cards by December. “I enjoy the work usually.” she says. "However, sometimes when it 1 gets too much for me, I wonder why a girl called plain Mary Myrtle Eldred had to marry Sam Christmas, and get a name that just asks to be signed over and over again every Dec. 25.” g3<Jhfistmas £ A Scrapbook Compiled by Clark Kinnaird ® w A CENTURY ago, a question of a king started a S 5 x*. search for the name of the anonymous originators If of the beloved song, Silent Night. When the king of *3 jjf Prussia heard the song in December 1’854 and asked the M V name of the composer, no one could tell him immediate6 ly. The music had been published without credit to the gL men who had written the words and music. Months jg SF passed before researchers were able to answer the king's M V question. m W The words had been written by Fr. Joseph Mohr, the fit parish priest at Oberdorf, Austria, on Christmas eve, Q Sr 1818. They had been set to music by the church’s or- O W gantst, Franz Gguber, and sung for the first Um* in the JR fig church the next day. The organ got out of fix before JK & the Christmas service and Gruber played the accompani- j® A meat on a guitar.’ Gruber was found to be alive, and he - sf confirmed the story of the song’s origin. He lived until A ts 1882. . ”• f X & Os numerous translations of Fr. Mohr's words into R English, the following is the most popular. The translat- W er is as anonymous as Gruber was when the German ft V king asked his question in 1854.
