Consequently, it is used throughout -the year for sickness, deaths, and sometimes in cases of emergency.

Two basketball teams, composed of Livonia Township boys played their initial games Tesday, December 16, at the Fisher Y.M.C.A. These two teams playing as units for the first time were pitted against two veteran Y.M. C.A. teams and were defeated in both contests. Nevertheless, the L.R.C. basketball leader, Bill Jenkinson, reports that both units gave surprisingly good perform- ances. "Livonia Township", Mr. Jen- kinson stated, "has the native material to build great teams." Two games are scheduled for Tuesday night at the Redford Presbyterian Church.

But shake hands with Santa Claus, as American as you or If True, the prototype of Santa .. Claus was ancient Saint Nicholas, but there the semblance ends. The good St. Nick was a thin ascetic, clad in bishop's robes whose home was deep in Asia Minor. And HIS day is really December 6th,. But Santa Claus, the jolly, apple-cheeked elf, was born in this country. Our first word -picture of him was penned by Washington Irving in 1809. And some 60 years later Thomas Nast, the famous New York cartoonist, closely followed Irving's description in creating the first published drawing of this beloved Christmas character. Now—so �rf famous has Santa become—the course of tradition has been reversed, and many older lands are fast adopting him as their own. \\ In many countries he still has many names w and guises ... Santa Claus ... St. Nick �,� ... Papa Noel ... Old Man Christmas ... Grandfather Koleda. Whatever he's called, his meaning is one: The Peace and Goodwill that arise from giving with the heart— from wishing well to all our friends. It is in this spirit that we repeat, in these troubled times, this age-old wish: "... and on earth peace, good will toward men:' Page Twelve L I V O N I A N fWANoON THE TOB — — THOSE LITTLE BMW JL Saws 11 Only 25 Cents Phone Plymouth 16 FOR SALE SHOE REPAIRING, -27500 Ply- mouth Road, corner of Inkster.
