W. C. A. The Christmas customs of various land3 and peoples will feature this year's folk festival of the Y. W.

C. A. to be held on December 5 and 6 In the high school and Woman's Club auditoriums. These will be interpreted by Allentonians who are foreign-born whose parents or grandparents ere born in foreign countries. They promise to provide an evening of rare and unusual entertainment.

The beautiful old Yuletide carols of Ukrainia will be presented in that portion of the program given by the Ukrainian Choral and Dramatic Club cf Allentown which is directed by Harry Pypiuk. This group of talented young people will sing the old carols of their motherland and ofler a colorful pic ture of Christmas as it is celebrated In Ukrainia. The carols play a prominent part in the Christmas festivities of that land which are ushered in with the arrival of St. Nicholas on December 19. 3t Nicholas is considered a holy personage In that land and Is portrayed with long, flowing robe and a crown upon his head and carrvine a large staff in his hand.

He is the legendary giver or gifts in Ukrainia. iiCAb ill uic uusa vauc virmca win Holy Supper, a specially prepared meal, partaken of by the entire family on Christmas eve.

After supper every home in the town Is visited by the boys and girls, who ring the floor-bells and sing carols under the windows or indoors in the event they are invited to do so. A midnight church service is conducted with all the young singers present, which event lasts for two or three hours and brings the day to a close.

The words of these Ukrainian carols are very much different from those we know in that thev dwell mostly on the Christ-Child, asking Him for a better harvest next fall or to help them build better schools or to lessen their hardships. Many new carols have been added since the World War in which there are pleas for the wounded soldiers and freedom for Ukrainia. INKSGIV1NG TOPIC IN BETHEL CHURCH New Studio In Radio Church Used for First Time The Sunday school session held Sunday morning at 9.00 o'clock under the direction of Superintendent P. Ward Musselman, was well attended.

The men's bible class, taught by Pastor Musselman, had a very large attendance. "Thanksgiving to God" was the subject of the morning message by Pastor B. Bryan Musselman. He read the entire chapter of Psalms 118. The text chosen for his remarks was "Let the peace of Ood rule in your hearts to the hich also ye are called into one body, auSsbe ye thankful." He- brought out the fisst that the "Peace of God" Is something that the world cannot give only to be obtained from God.

"Be thankful for all things" not all good things, was emphasized in this message. He illustrated with everyday happenings just how unthankful we are and what we really have to be thankful for. The evening service 'was also filled with the thought of thanksgiving. His discourse was based on Luke 17:11. He spoke about the ten men who were healed of leprosy and the nine of them who forgot to give thanks.

How unthankful they were for even being healed from the most dreaded disease, a disease which was practically incurable. Today, "Jesus Christ came to seek and to save that which was lost," and how unthankful we are. The one leper who came back and thanked God was rewarded by God, because that was what God wanted, and God made him whole not only healed him. God wants us to testify of His goodness to us and to ever live lives of thanksgiving. The auditorium of the church was filled to capacity at these services.

The attendance is so remarkably large that thev expect to open the adjoining room. Both services were broadcast over WCBA. The new studio which has just been completed in the basement of the large church was openea ana usea tor tne first time on Sunday evening. This will fill a long felt need for larger space for these Sunday evening studio programs.

7th St. EASED BY DECISION Judge Trexler of This City Holds Weapons Must Be 'on Person A decision which virtually affects the carrying of concealed deadly weapons was handed down last week in Philadelphia by Judge Trexler in superior court when he reversed the conviction and sentence of Leo and William Lanzetti, brothers, said to be notorious underworld characters, on charges of carrying deadly weapons "on person." The two men were arrested on July 4 in Philadelphia when loaded revolvers were found under the seat of an automobile in which they were riding. In quarter sessions court they were con victed of having weapons "on person" and were sentenced to eleven months and fifteen days in jail. They were re manded to county prison where they have been pending their appeal. In ordering that the brothers be freed.

Judge Trexler declared that the lower court erred in convictine the men on a charge that specified that the guns were on or about their persons. In his written opinion, the superior court judge said: "The question we are required to decide is whether the court below was right in holding that the defendants could be convicted of carrying concealed deadly weapons under the act of March, 1875, for carrying firearms 'on "There are numerous cases from other states construing statutes of similar import, but the laws of the other states employ the words 'about the thus giving a broader meaning than the words 'upon the person. "We are not justified in going so far as to hold that the word 'upon' is to be construed as 'adjacent. We must follow the ordinary everyday meaning attached to the words 'upon the person. We are held to a strict construction of the act.

"We are therefore constrained to hold that the court below was in error In holding that the facts of the case permitted a conviction of the defendants of the crime charged. The judgment is reversed and the defendants are ordered discharged." When the brothers were convicted, Judge MacNeille, in quarter sessions court, charged the jury that if the defendants were sitting in the back of the machine and knew that the guns were under the cushion such facts were sufficient to convict on the charge of carrying concealed deadly weapons to do unlawful bodily harm.
