But he didn't mind, or seemed even to know That on that night, that a Saviour was born. The shepherds that tended their flock on the hill Felt and knew of the strangness that night. As they followed a Star that beckoned them With a mystic holy light. They followed its course into Bethlehem Past the City and onto a hill. _ And they came to a manger filled with straw Where a little babe lay so still. He nestled close in Mary's arms She whispered and sang to him low. As she lifted to heaven, up her eyes Toward the East was strangely a glow. (A Star appeared as tho a jewel.) It was there for all to see. And slowly it crossed until it shone On a mother on bended knee. Milling about were the sheep and the lambs As the night, it wore silently on. and the Star that shown over Bethlehem Was the light when our Saviour was born. Tis the Light of the world, Star of the East A Pledge and Promise fulfold. It lit the path of the Three Wise Men That came laden with chests of gold. Mary held him aloft, for all to see. As the angels burst forth in song. Singing "JOY TO THE WORLD" for unto you On this night has a Saviour been born. Born to the world a King of Kings An Angel in disguise. And the three that came from far away Nodded their heads so wise Peace on Earth, Good Will towards all men Was the message, they came to say. As they laid at his feet, the gifts they had brought And silently stole away. To the^^0"tney turned their faces toward home, The Star still continued to shine. As it lit up the heavens with glory Down through the ages of Time. LET'S HAVE ANOTHER CHRISTMAS DAY Let's have another Christmas day Just as we did a year ago today, With that sparkle, that gleam, That all around glow really means It's Christmas time again. Let's have another Christmas Day And once again to say that love is here to stay Just as we did a year ago today In a moment of tenderness A mountain of joy and happiness For the rest of the forever Christmas days. How many new ways is there to say I wish you a Merry Christmas? I wish I only knew and hope There are a million or two So I can say them all to you. By Henry W.

Lenk Infant Christened In Local Church The first child of Mr. and Mrs. Karl-Heinz Lenk was christened David Hadley at a baptismal service which took place at St. Mary's Catholic church, McHenry, Dec. 19. Father Eugene Baumhofer officiated at the ceremony. Godparents for the baby were his cousin, Miss Jane Kiesgen, and his uncle, Gunter Ernst Lenk. David was baptized on his father's birthday, wearing a christening dress handmade by his mother. After the service, cake and coffee were served at the Lenk home in observance of the double celebration. The baby's grandparents are Mrs. Ft.E. Williams of Griswold Lake and Mr. and Mrs. Karl Lenk of Barrington. Maternal great-grandparents are Mrs. C. Reith and Mr. and Mrs. E.R. Williams, all of Chicago, and Excellent insurance for provid­ ing for holiday drop-in guests is an ample supply of ready-to-serve smoked sausage products such as salami. Sliced,- cubed or cut in julienne-style strips, salami is ideal for quick sandwiches or snacks. It can be combined with many convenience pasta or rice products to produce a hot and hearty luncheon or supper cas­ serole. a Beef fondue fits well into the picture for small, informal gath­ erings. A eook-your-own treat, it frees a homemaker for hostess­ ing. Simply supply inch cubes of sirloin steak, a fondue pot con­ taining hot oil and sauces for dipping. Hot Dog Bites rank high as an appetizer on many points - popu­ larity, cost, and convenience. Re­ posing in a chafing dish in a zippy sauce, they stay hot and inviting an entire evening. .But keep an eye on the chafing dish; it will need refilling. Either bite- size pieces of frankfurters or cocktail franks can be heated in barbecue sauce spiked with hot sauce. the paternal grandmother, Mrs. Ida Eichler, of Fassberg, West Germany.
