How the Best-Loved Carol Was Given to the World

One of the most revered Christmas carols in the whole world emerged from the small village of Obendorf in the Austrian Alps, On Christmas Eve, 1818. Father Joseph Mohr listened to Franz Gruber, the church organist, attempt to repair his prized instrument — broken beyond repair. It seemed there would be no music for the traditional midnight mass on Christmas Eve. Later, a sad Father Mohr made his pastoral rounds through the village in the night's bitter cold. Suddenly, his mind flooded with thoughts of another starlit night in Bethlehem. Unconsciously, he began to repeat, ’’Silent night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright!” Hurrying home, he

seized a piece of paper. Several verses flowed from his pen. When he finished, he told Gruber, ’’Write some music for my new poem, Franz. Simple music you can play on the guitar. Organ or no organ, we’re going to have Christmas Eve music!” That evening, the two men, accompanied only by a guitar, sang the loveliest of carols, "Silent Night.” Soon the song left the remote Alpine Valley. Karl Mauracher, who eventually repaired the church organ, requested a copy of the song. He gave the carol to a group of child singers, Amalie. Andreas, Caroline, and Joseph Strasser. "Silent Night" was among the songs these children sang to attract customers at the great Leipzig fair. While visiting the fair. Saxony's famous directorgeneral of music, Herr Pohlenz, heard the children and invited them to sing the lovely song before the King and Queen on Christmas Eve. 1832. The acceptance of the carol, given to the world through the voices of four small children, was immediate and widespread. For all, the beauty of "Silent Night” remains part of the magic and tradition of Christmas.

THE PHOTO dates back to the 1890 s and has nothing to do with Our Town, however, we found the information with it interesting and decided to share it with our readers this week since many who live here do drink soda pop from time to time. The next time you stop by your favorite restaurant, look the waitress straight in the eye and try ordering a hamburger, fries and a bib-label lithiated lemonlimesoda. If she looks confused, just explain that you want a Seven-up. C. L. Grigg, who created 7-up. originally named it for its lemonlime flavor: one of its chemical properties at the time, lithium; and for the dominant paper label which hung like a bib over the neck of the bottle. How the name 7-up evolved in 1919 is a subject for speculation at company headquarters in Saint Louis. Mo. No one know s for sure. The Shasta Water Company, as it was first known, was born in the shadow of Mount Shasta and took its name from the towering northern California landmark that is part of the Cascade mountain range. The company began as a bottler of mountain or Youths arrested for van theft A 14-year-old Leesburg boy and a 15-year-old Warsaw boy were booked at the Kosciusko County jail on two counts of theft and one count of resisting law enforcement officers. The two juveniles were arrested last week by Warsaw city police after abandoning a stolen van on the east side of Warsaw and fleeing on foot. The youths stole a van from the parking lot of a west side city establishment Monday evening, Nov. 27. The van is owned by Jeffrey A. Kindle, 22, r 2 HideAway Hills, Warsaw. Kindle was stopped at the intersection of East Center and North Lindberg streets, at 12:50 p.m., when he spotted his van. He turned onto Lindberg St., and started toward the van on foot. The youths spotted Kindle and the 15-year-old, who was driving, started to turn west on Center St., when the van collided with a car operated by Yvonne N. Polise, 33, r 1 Leesburg. Police said Polise was westbound on Center St. Police assume the suspects left the scene of the accident and came to a stop at the corner of Maple Ave. and Main St., when they jumped out of the van and fled on foot. Kindle had alerted Warsaw city police about spotting his stolen van. The searching began, by police, on the east side of the city where they observed tracks in the snow leading from the van to the rear of the Maple Ave. Greenhouse. City Police Lt. Gerald Oswalt said he was chasing one of the suspects when the youth leaped on the roof of the greenhouse, falling through the glass. The 14-year-old attempted to hide in the basement, but was caught by City Police Captain Eugene Brown and Cpl. David Curtis. The teenager suffered a minor cut on one finger and was treated at Kosciusko Community Hospital. City Police Sgt. Jerry Hatfield and Lt. Oswalt continued searching the area for the 15-year-old who was arrested when he was found under a trailer on the same property. A 12 gauge shotgun reportedly stolen from Kindle’s van was recovered in a Warsaw home. Polise’s car was estimated at S4OO damage and S9OO damage was set to the van, according to City Patrolman Steven Foster. The 15-year-old boy was cited by police for failure of duty at a property damage accident. Assisting in the arrest were City Police Sgt. Doug Brumfield and Patrolman Larry Engle. The two teenagers also are thought to have stolen a pick-up truck owned by Thurman Kittrell, 1904 Road 225 West, Warsaw. The truck was parked in a parking lot on an east side blowling alley when that theft occured Monday evening. Kosciusko County Patrolman Gerry Moser recovered the truck Monday in a ditch one-fourth mile north of a bridge on Fox Farm Rd.

spring water in 1889 and years later became Shasta Beverages, a soft drink producer with one of the most extensive flavor lines in the industry. So as none of the readers think this is a commercial for 7-up. we also found out that the Coca Cola Company is the largest soft drink producer. No surprise there! Coca Cola, according to Carlton Curtis, superivsor of corporate communications, got its name from an alliterative coupling of the words cocoa (for the cocoa leaf) and cola (for the Kola nut), the principle ingredients of the product. Coca Cola was developed in 1886 by John S. Pemberton The name originated with his friend and bookkeeper. F. M. Robinson. The company history of Dr. Pepper reads like a ronia tic short story. A young “soda jerk” in Virginia fell in love with his boss's daughter. The disapproving boss, a doctor named Pepper, consequently fired the young man, who then moved to Waco, Texas and "landed a job at the Old Corner Drug Store." In his spare time at the store, he experimented with fountain flavors, finally creating one that he and his friends especially liked. He named it Dr Pepper after his love’s father. Footnote: Thus flattered, the father gave permission for his daughter to marry the young man. Pepsi, according to company spokesman Joseph Block, was developed by a Newburn. N. C., pharmacist named Caleb Bradham in 1898. The trademark was registered in 1903, but how the name Pepsi originated is an unsolved mystery, says Block. The Royal Crown Company markets both Royal Crown and Nehi soft drinks. The Nehi name resulted from a comparison of bottle sizes, according to a company spokesman. The new nine ounce bottles, said a clever sales manager in 1924, looked “kneehigh tall” compared to the old 6'2 ounce bottles. Company history indicates that Royal Crown was a trademark first used about 1905 by Claude A. Hatcher, an Alabama grocer turned soft drink bottler. He began bottling Royal Crown ginger ale and root beer as a service to his customers. As often happens, this sideline outgrew his primary buisness. What is now known as Royal Crown Cola came on the market in 1934. However, the reasoning behind the Royal Crown name is unclear. It could have been related to the particular bottle cap design. Or simply a means of -raising the product above the ordinary. The Canada Dry Corporation began with a young pharmacist and chemist, John J. McLaughlin, who opened a soda water manufacturing plant in Toronto, Canada, in 1890. He developed “McLaughlin Belfast Style Ginger Ale, not unlike a similar product in Belfast, Ireland,” some 20 years later, the name Canada Dry was born of the Canadian-based company. —o— HAVE YOU noticed the headless snowman at the Larry Slabaugh home south of town.
