Thursday we wrote our
column about the great Christ
mas Carol — Silent Night —
saying that this probably was
the most beloved of all Christ
mas Carols.
Os course there are many
other beautiful and meaningful
Christmas songs sung during
the holiday season. There are
songs like “Hark the Hearld
Angels Sing,” “There’s a Song
in the Air,” “It Came Upon the
Midnight Clear”, “Joy to the
World," “0, Come all ye Faith
ful,” and “0 Little Town of
Bethlehem”.
Good Evening believes his
readers would like to know, as
he would know, what is the most
popular Carol of them in this
community. We invite our
readers to help us find out.
Please write Good Evening a
note and list your favorite
Christmas songs in the order
that you like them. And will you
be good enough to mention the
bracket in which you fall? Are
you young, middle aged, or
older? This will enable us to
identify the best loved song, and
to find out by what age group it
is best loved.
We’d also like to have the
results of any “polls” that may
be taken in church or other
groups.
Now if one would like to
“vote” in this poll on Christmas
Carols but does not have time to
write, call Good Evening and
tell him of your choice. Should
he not be at the office when you
call one of the young ladies on
the front counts* will take the
call and list your choice.
And should you happen to see
Good Evening uptown and want
to “vote” stop him and do so.
Believe the results of this
“poll” will be interesting.
We’ll publish the results about

India has openly supported
the rebel Bangla Desh (Bengal

declared its independence from
