DKAC Irre I'reM 4 iitfno)intltHD Mlftif Those who wish to measure to what extent newcomers to these shores have adopted the American w-ay of life, are invited to visit ome of the foreign language-upeaklng groups, churches or homes on Christmas Eve.

The casual visitor will observe that In most cases foreign dishes and pastries are the only thing li ft of the customs brought here by the Imigrnnts of the last half century. The other aspects of Christmas merriment are the same as in the other American families. GAVKTV TONED DOWN In certain groups Christmas Is a strictly family affair; others hold parties for members and their children. This year, because many families have members In the armed forces, these events will lack much of their customary gayety. The general trend is to entertain service men fmm the USO or to raise money for the young men In camp.

For Instance, the Holy Trinity tJkraininan Orthodox Church wiil sponsor its fourth annual Christ mas dinner party at 8 p. m. Wednesday at the Ukrainian National Temple, Martin. The Rv. John II.

Helen Meilak, Mrs. Alice Kircher, Mrs. Augustine Coussement and Mrs. Alice Vassel were in charge. FRENCH RECALL PAST Many Detroiters of French birth will recount the colorful aspects of Christmas in France, especially the magnificent church services in the Paris cathedrals, the "Reveillon" with its pate-de-foie gras, oysters, blood sausage and the infinite variety of choice French wines.

Although in the rural districts the observance does not have the glamour it had in Paris before this war, the country folk had a good time. The children never forgot to line up their "sabots" (little wooden shoes) for the time "le Pere Noel" passes by with his gifts. In the home a creche with the petit Jesus in it lies at the foot of the gaily decorated Christmas tree. Because of the Nazi occupation, Christmas in European countries will be a dreary one. European Unify Drive Is Charted by Teachers Teachers the Detroit public schools are making it their busi ness to encourage a strong, united front among the nationally groups.

This was proved at a meeting held recently at the McKenzie Union, 437 Putnam, under the sponsorship of Beta Sigma Phi, a fraternity which is made up of Wayne University graduates who have received their masters' de gree. The meeting, which followed a dinner, was attended by more than 65 persons who resolved to launch a campaign, among their student bodies to sustain good will and a better understanding between old-stock Americans and others. The discussion was led by Stanley Diamond, social-studies supervisor of the Detroit public schools. Guests included Mrs. Edith V.

Al-vord, executive secretary of the International Center, and Kitty Winewurn, an Austrian refugee studying at Wayne University. Beta Sigma Phi was organized in 1932 under the sponsorship of Willian Pile, dean of the graduate school at Wayne University. JU present administrative board includes J. Roger Gaw, president; Marion Patterson, vice president; Ortha Burns, recording secretary; Eva Cromley, corresponding secretary, and Paul Randall, treasurer. Alice Davics was in charge of arrangements for the dinner and Greek Church in War Bonds The first anniversary of the at tack on Pearl Harbor was marked with the purchase of worth of war bonds at St.

Constantine's Greek Orthodox Church on Grand River. More than $1,500 was pledged by members of the newly formed youth choir alone. The choir leader opened the sales with an offer of $100 from his salary. This brought on a heated competition which raised the grand total to $8,500. Said the Rev.

Alexander Papa Stephanos, pastor: "The Japs tnougnt they would crush this nation with one blow at Pearl Harbor. ve snail snow tnem they were wrong. By that treacherous blow they only stirred us up to a fighting pitch. Now those of us who cannot fight give to help those who can fight win this war against totalitarian aggression." The choir made its first church appearance on this occasion. Sergt.

who is stationed with the Medical Corps in Camp Barkeley, hrought his recent bride ZeUla, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arlos Lee Neil of Abliene, with him. HOME ON FURLOUGH Stephan Eelyi, who is stationed with the armed forces in Wa shins ton, is spending- a brief furlough with his parent. Mr.

and Mrs. James Eelvi, of Women's Chorus nique Haig Ohanian played his oddly-shaped "Tar'' before the Shah of Persia. No competition in his field. He claims his is the only instrument of its kind in this country. Weird Music in Dearborn Traced to 'Tar' For weeks, the neighbors of Haig Ohanian, 2505, Akron, in Dearborn were puzzled by the weird music from the house next door.

Some claimed it was a banjo. "It must be something else," chorused others. Little did the privileged listen ers realize, that the unusual in strument they were hearing was a juu-year-oid "Tar" which Neigh bor Ohanian played for six months, morning and night for an audience no less select than the Shah of Persia. With this "Tar," Ohanian plucked his way throughout Europe and a good portion of these United States. Only recently, he gave a well-attended concert of Oriental melodies at the Fort Wayne Hotel.

At present, he is hoping to find a sponsor who will enable him to stay in Detroit and play for Armenians here. Ohanian was born 33 years ago in Tiflis, Southern Russia. He came to this country in 1925 and is now an American citizen. His "Tar" is protected by a $10,000 insurance. Ohanian savs it is well worth it as it is the "only instrument of its kind in the country.

ARMENIAN ORIGIN The "Tar" originated in Armenia long before Christ and was later much in favor in Persia and other neighboring countries. Made of choice mulberry wood, the "Tar" carries l. strings which the player plucks with a tiny bone pick. The sound it emits recalls that of a mandolin, except that, the "Tar" is much more powerful. Detroiter in Texas with Coast Guard Te native Denmark: the traditional roast-goose supper or "grod," rice pudding strewn with sugar and clnamon; the sheaf of rye placed outside for the birds' feast on Christmas Eve, and the extra portion of hay given horses and cattle which, according to an old belief, stand at midnight in honor of Christ birth.

Nor will they forget to mention "Julenis.se," the attic gnome who stands guard over the family's happiness and brings the children guts. The Detroit Czechs will hold two Christmas parties. The first will be presented at 8 p. m. Monday at the Czech National Hall, Tillman and Butternut, by the Czech Sokols, a gymnastic organization.

Anton Benesh will direct the pro. gram, which will be followed by a distribution of gifts to children. Mrs.

Betty Liska, Mrs. Frances Kovank and Mrs. Josephine Ku- zera are in charge. In Czecho Slovakia, the day before Christmas Is spent fasting The traditional supper, consisting of roe soup and fish, with "vunowky," or braided brAid, is served only after dark. Children are told they will see the golden pig if they fast with their parents.

A manger scene Is placed at the foot of the Christmas tree. Christ mas Eve is spent in merriment and fortune telling with apples, nuts ana candies, on Christmas Day the village watchman goes about playing Christmas carols pn a long musical horn.
