Christmas Minus A Sanla Claus Do you believe in Santa Clause? The children of Middle America never heard of old St, Nick, even though their holiday celebration compares happily and merrily to our own. Picnics and outdoor excursions are traditional events of the day, for. Christmas comes in mild summer weather there. Weeks before the holiday, families in El Salvador, Mexico and Panama prepare tiny clay or wooden figures for the creche which most homes display during the universal holiday. In Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Cuba, images of the Virgin are carried through, the streets. Christmas celebrations and customs vary in the ten republics which comprise Middle AmericaMexico, Guatemala. El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panma, Cuba. Hiati, and the. Dominican Republic. Fireworks climax the festival in most of these republics and marimba bands play in buntingbedecked parks while whole families trek from) farm to village, visiting relatives, or ioinmg in the public merrymaking. Mexican familes string their oatios with' colored lanterns and hang the pinata, a large clay iar shaped like a bird or animal and filled with fruits, nuts ind candies purchased at the Dictureeque Christmas stalls in the mrkets. The children are blindfolded and armed with long sticks. They reach for the pinata until one child breaks.-, the jar and the sweets tumble out to be shared by all. v '"; !

I heard the bells on Christmas Day The'r old. familiar carols play, And wild and sweet . i The words repeat ' " Of por.ee on earth, g3cd-will to men! And thought how. cs the dav had came; The belfries of all Christendom, Had rolled along " . The unbroken song ' ' , Of peace on earth, good-will to men! Till ringing, singing on its way, The World revolved from night to day, A voice, a chime, ' A chant subl;me Of peace on earth,' good-will to men! Then from ech black, accirsed mouth The cannon thundered in the South, And with the sound The carols drowned Of peace on earth," good-will to men! It was. as if an earthquake rent The hearth -stones of a continent, And made forlorn The households born " . Of peace on earth, good-will to men ! And in despair I bowed mv head;. . "There is no neace on earth," I said, "For hate is strong And mocks the scng Of peace on earth, good-will to men!" ' Then oealed the bells more loud and deep: "God is not dead, nor doth He sleep! The wrong shall fail, The right preva'l. With peace on earth, good-will to men !" .
