CHRISTMAS HURLEY'S FISH AND CHIP RESTAURANT Christmas in Korea For Troops Depends on How Negotiations Progress By BILL BOSS With the Canadians in .Korea (CP) -- Christmas for Canadians in Korea will depend on progress at Panmunjom, ; An armistice would mean an ati: out go wish - meals, unit pr Hous a Pe an pio to hostil- es. No armistice will mean business as usual. For some soldiers in the front line there will be a special meal. For others in stickier positions that would be too dangerous and they will eat the same canned ra- tions that go up to them every day. No armistice meare no Christ- mas for the 2nd battalion Royal 22nd Regiment and for parts of the 2nd battalion Royal Canadian Regiment and of the 1st battalion Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry. : For those men not even the turkey dinner, Christmas cake and pln pudding will go up into the S. Men of the 2nd regiment Royal Canadian Horse Artillery how- ever, will spell one another off as usual for meals and have the big meal in their battery mess tents. There will be no carol or hymn singing in the front line, although services are planned for the rear echelons. For the people back home a short service has been re- ative of most units in the Cana- dian brigade. Unit commanding officers and chaplains are, however, planning to visit each of their companies if the "police action" is still on. Brigade headquarters en- tertained an estimated 170 men Dec. 15 to a midday Christmas dinner, the men representing all units in the brigade, including Bri- tish and United States army units under command. However, even if the men along the front may not be celebrating, they are taking up a brigade-wide collection for gifts for an orphan- age adopted in Seoul by the 25th Canadian Field Dressing station, which is stationed there. The orphanage has 350 children, and men in the rest of the brigade are chipping in to buy them cloth- ing, cloth from which to make garments, and gifts. Gifts sent from Canada by wo- | men's auxiliaries will be sent up | {from the auxiliaries of the RCR {and the RCHA to the units Christmas Eve. Al- ready in the theatre are shipments Tactics will govern the observ- ance, and unit quartermasters are holding themselves ready to jump in with all it takes if they do get a chance. Said Lt.-Col. Geof Brookes of | 8hillo, Man.: "We don't even need Christmas Treats Ample But Costly By MURIEL NARRAWAY London (CP) -- Britain's govern- ment leaders may be bandying words on a proposed "austerity" Christmas in rationed food, but there is no shortage in the special delicacies that are favorite items on most festive tables. A walk through any of the big, downtown food stores sets house- wives calculating how many good- ies their bank balances can afford. For the only restrictions on non- rationed goods are the prices. As yet the threatened cut in can- ned food supplies has not reached the counter, and delectable dis- plays include tins of cooked ham weighing anything from around 15 pounds to as little as six ounces, and a choice of varied sizes in tinned chickens, cooked and pre- pared. There are tinned turkey, whole or sliced, chicken and pork livers, cocktail sausages, frankfur - ters, lobster, crayfish, prawns and a wide variety of fat French, Italian and German sausage, sold by the pound. The price of these goods may be somewhat higher than that of rationed fare, the cost of which is kept low by government subsidy, but most housewives spend that "little extra" on Christmas fare and supplies of non-rationed goods are large and 'succulent. EASILY HANDLED Best selling point about the can- ned varieties is the ease with which they can be handled in kit- chens and rooms with inadequate cooking facilities. Many would-be hostesses breathe a sigh of relief at the ease with which they can obtain tins of pre- pared chicken and turkey savories that help make an interesting buf- fet luncheon or dinner. And for those who don't mind the cost, most big stores have a variety of poultry and game, ex- pertly cooked and prepared, trus- sed and garnished with imagina- tion. Not only that, but a complete dinner can easily be built up on prepared foods alone. Favorites still notable by their absence -- they have been almost unobtainable since the end of the Second World War -- aré North American canned pears, peaches and pineapple. Housewives need not be dis - mayed, however, for there is a wide variety of bottled fruits, including all three, and varied types of fruit salads. Bottled pine- apple pieces, for instance, cost as little as 36 cents. An expensive item on most ban- queting tables will be the Christ- mas crackers.

Yuletide Candles Have Been Used By Many Peoples It would Be astonishing, indeed, if no candles appeared in homes throughout the nation on Christ- mas Eve. The legend which sur- rounds the custom is believe dto have started in Ireland. There on Christmas Eve a large candle was burned which could be snuffed out only by one named Mary. As the Irish put it: "Who knows, on some Christmas Eve, Jesus and Mary and Joseph may come 'again, not to Palestine, but to the Holy Isle on the farthest edge of Europe?" Their first use for Christmas is not recorded in the annals of any nation, but that the "Christ Child Candle," burned in the window of Christmas Eve is, according to an old legend, placed there to light His way if He makes an earthly visitation and in atonement for the night of His birth when there was no room for Him. Also among the wend is one about bayberry candles burned on Christmas. During the early history of our country, animal fats were rel- tively scarce. The branches of the bay-berry shrub were covered with waxgiving berries and chil- dren were given the task of gather- ing the berries when candles had to be made so that the animal fats could be conserved. According to tradition, one who burned a bayberry candle on Christmas Evé or Christmas Day would have long life and a happy one. An old verse reads: "To learn you luck for the year they say, Burn a bayberry dip on Christ- mas day. If the flame burns bright the light shines clear, Good luck will be yours through- out the year." and Arabs to Open Barbed Wire In City of Nativity Bethlehem (AP) -- The barbed- wire of no - man's - land will be opened to let 2000 Christians living in Israel worship at Christmas Day services in this Arab - occupied village where Chrisi was born. The announcement came today from the foreign ministry of Mos- lem Jordan, whose troops occupy Bethlehem and the old city of Jerusalem as a result of the Palestine war of 1948 between Jews and Arabs.
