Those who never ut- ter a note all year, not even under the shower, find them- selves giving voice when Christmas carols are a part of the program. One of the all - time favorites is 'Good King Wenceslas'. Everybody loves the dialogue between the king and the page boy. The verses were arranged in parts in this fashion by John Mason Neale of London in the mid - 19th century. The melody came from Sweden; the story from Bo- hemia and the poem from Victorian England. The orig- inal was found in a collec- tion of carols, assembled by Martin Luther. Who was this king that we all sing about so lustily? Was he real? He most certainly was. Historians quibble a bit about his age, but he was born in the early 10th century of the House of Premsyl and became a Duke of Bohemia which he ruled as king from 928 to 935, give or take a year. In the centre of Prague, the old capital of Bohemia and now the capital of mod- ern Czechoslovakia, at the head of Wenceslaus Avenue which climbs uphill, is a fine statue of the noble king, mounted on his charger and surrounded by his country's patron saints, Procopius, Ag- nes, Ludmilla and Adalbert. I felt as if I had met an old friend when I first saw the statue last summer. Trol- ley cars rattle by on both sides of him but literally within a few score yards of this busy thoroughfare are quiet little streets, too nar- row to take even a car. From the rocket age of the 20th century you descend in a few minutes to the Romanesque Age and drink a glass of wine from the Lord Mayor's vine- yard. You cross a street and span seven centuries of his- tory. DELVING INTO this store- house of antiquity, historic characters take on a new and real meaning. Wenceslaus was reared in Christianity by his grandmother, Ludenilla, whose effigy on her tomb shows her to be serenly beautiful. She was a virtuous woman and was canonized as a saint, His mother was 3 violent disbeliever named Drahomira. She hired assas- sins to strangle Ludmilla. By his sense of social jus- tice and his kindness to the poor, Wenceslaus strove to bring order out of chaos. He directed reforms but was ov- erwhelmed in a wave of pa- gan re - action, stimulated by a political conspiracy and at the door of the Church of Alt- Bunzlau he was murdered by his younger brother who as- sumed the throne as Bolas- lav I, long since forgotten. Love and respect for Wen- ceslaus lives on. He is bur- fed in the chapel that bears his name in the heart of the magnificent Cathedral of St. Vitus which he started as a Christian Rotunda in 929 A.D. JO'S JOURNAL BY JO ALDW!NCKLE Women's Editor of The Times and which was completed as a cathedral in 1929. The walls of the tomb are encrusted with Bohemian precious stones and displayed under glass are his helm, his chain - mail rie his skull and other rel- cs, Tapestries illustrate epi- sodes in his life, his good deeds and his assassination at his brother's hand. There are many other statues of Good King Wenceslaus but the one that amused me was a silver bust, dedicated by the Guild of Maltsters, though from the legend it is under- stood that the saint encourag- ed the cultivation of vineyards rather than hopfields. WE DIDN'T SING "Good King Wenceslaus"' in St. Greg- ory's on Tuesday night, but we did sing other beloved car- ols and the interval of yoy- ous Advent music provided a refreshing pause in a pres- surized week. Congratulations to the musicians for their up- lifting contributions and thanks to Monsignor Dwyer for inviting all who would come to share the experience. The city is taking on a col- orful glow with streets of houses beaded with bright lights. To me, it is a sign of warmth and hospitality and this is how most of us would like the world to be. There- fore I am disgusted beyond words with these "screw- bulbs' who steal lights and destroy the beauty that is meant for all to share. These creeps are no better than the reprehensible characters who threw ink into the washing machines of a laundramat re- cently and broke into the Lit- tle Theatre workshop and tore the wardrobe costumes to shreds. In olden days such types were locked in the stocks to suffer the jibes and torments of the general public. Not such a bad idea, either. WHAT WAS OSHAWA like at the turn of the century? This is what an old friend told me: "Oshawa was place then than it is now. No luxurious buses ran through the village on smooth paved streets. <A_ rickety straw - carpeted bus, light- ed by a tallow dip in a glass enclosure at one end of the conveyance, rolled and bump- ed through snow and slush or through rivers of mud during the winter months on the daily journey to and from the Grand Trunk Railway (CNR) station. There was no CPR then. The bus was drawn by a team of horses or perhaps two teams if the roads were bad. Coal oil lamps were the only means of lighting hous- es and streets. The road ways were never cleared of snow from one end of the winter to the other. Persons had to flounder through snow, slush and sticky mud in some plac- es up to their knees." The Good Old Days? a different Slave Woman Brought Peace To Indian Tribes CHURCHILL, Man. (CP) -- A memorial to a Chipewyan In- dian woman taken prisoner by the Crees in 1713 has been raised as a centennial project. "The Slave Woman,"' accord- ing to legend, intervened in the continuing feud between the two tribes and brought a peace that led to the founding of the settle- ment that became Churchill. Her action was commemo- rated as a Cree and a Chipew- yan woman symbolically shook hands, and a plaque and cairn erected by a women's club was unveiled. The woman's story, pieced to- gether from legend and the Hudson's Bay Co. archives, began with the capture of a Chipewyan party by Crees in 1713 Mest of the party was killed SOCIAL NOTICE ENGAGEMENT The Reverend and Mrs. John R.

The Crees, however, saw little good in the idea and used the mission as a chance to continue their warring. The woman or- dered the Crees to stay behind and set off after her own people who had begun to retreat in the face of the new offensive. She talked her people into meeting the Crees in council and a peace was sealed that made possible Stewart's found- ing of Churchill, 140 miles THIS FAMILY can boast of having the unusual coin- cidence of two five genera- tions within a period of 21 years.
