St. Peter's Is, Christendom's Largest Church Twelve years ago, at Christmas, 1950, the late Pope Pius XII announced that excavators had found the tomb of the Apostle Peter precisely where Roman Catholics had believed it to be—beneath the papal altar of the church which bears his name. St. Peter’s, the largest church in Christendom, was built in Rome 336 years ago over the tomb of the Galilean fisherman, i A masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance, the church represents the composite skills of some of Italy’s greatest artists, including ■ Michelangelo, Raphael, Bra- | mante, and Bernini. Many Visitors The church attracts visitors oi many faiths because it is not merely a Roman Catholic shrine but an archive of history recorded in hundreds of monuments, sarcophagi, inscriptions, statues, and mosaic murals. Three queens are buried there—Christini of Sweden, Charlotte of Cyprus, and Clementina, the mother of Bonnie Prince Charlie. The church’s massive founds-' tions dig into the soil which was a place of soothsaying (vaticinatio) in pagan times. Nero built his Circus at the foot of Vatican Hill. Christians tvere tortured there and burned alive. Tradition says the Apostle Peter was crucified head down in the arena. Renovation In recent months, St. Peter’s has undertaken a program of interior innovation: metal stands to replace the cumbersome old wooden structures put up for audiences of more than 70,000; indirect lighting; a new electrical system controlling the bells; a new organ and a new elevator. The old elevator had lifted an estimated 20,000,000 pilgrims about 150 feet closer to paradise, their immediate destination being the roof of the basilica.

Easy Care Tips For Holiday Plant Christmas and holiday gift plant* will live better and last longer if you observe a few easy care tips to insure their health. To guard against over-watering and over-heating, it’s essential to keep them in porous clay pots, used by leading professional growers and florists to insure that you receive plants of the highest quality, well fertilized and well rooted. The porous sides of the clay pots are a major help in solving the problem of over-watering. Clay dissipates excess moisture and leaches out harmful salts, thus preserving the necessary constant moisture condition of soil nourishing the plants’ roots. Thus, even though plants in clay pots are occasionally overwatered, the - pot walls, bottom and drainage hole will automatically drain off excess moisture that might otherwise drown your plant. This is particularly important for poinsettias, which prefer and thrive best under somewhat drier conditions than most plants. Fire Is Unwelcome Holiday Visitor : Hundreds of American homes had a visitor last Christmas that was not only unwelcome but dangerous. , It was fire. Fires in Christmas trees and decorations not only spoiled the holidays in these homes, but cost each family an average of more than $760, according to National Fire Protection Association figures. Far more serious, the lives of children and parents alike were seriously endangered by these fires. These facts show Christmas Is a time to be more—not less-heed-ful of fire dangers. Many of our ; traditional Christmas customs—trees, colored lights, decorations, Yule logs in the fireplace—add substantially to a home’s fire hazards. Sometimes a combination of ' active children and preoccupied parents brings the one moment of carelessness which is all that fire needs.

Another year hat run ita course and we stand, filled anew with hope, waiting for the bells to ring in a bright and shining 1963. 1 Amid the joy of celebrating New Year’s Eve, many will find time to get a bit serious, to evaluate the year that will soon be history, and to recall old-time favorite happenings in previous years. And, what sort of year, will 1963 be? Who can say for sure? Each New Year starts out pretty much the same. Those who were unhappy with 1962 forsee a change for the better; those who did well expect things to become even better. We can, to a great extent, exercise control over much of what may happen to us in the year 1 ahead. We can do more to * get ahead” by working harder, by applying ourselves to the tasks at hand. We should do better for ourselves during 1963. After all, we are a year older—and have learned something from our experiences during 1962.

The course of the nation and the world during 1963 is something else. National prosperity and world peace: where do we stand on these matters? In both instances, tan We say, “It has been better, and it has been worse?” So what, someone might note: “What can the guy on the street do about national prosperity and world peace, anyhow?” The answer: plenty. Just for a moment, let us reflect I upon the type of world we would; realize in 1963 if every human being in the world resolved at the magic stroke of twelve to try to do something tomorrow for family, community, country — and' world. | If every American worked for America, how great would our, nation be? If every citizen of the world practiced brotherhood, would there be wars or threats of war? . We can’t change the world alone, or in a single year, but wouldn’t 1963 be a good year in which to get started?
