THE NIGHT CHRIST WAS BORN has been commemorated by artists through
out the ages. One of the first to show the Christ Child in a humble manger scene
was Renaissance Painter Bernardino Luini, whose painting, “Adoration of the
Christ Child,” is reproduced above. With the Holy Family is a shepherd, and in
the background other shepherds are shown with their flocks, as the angels bring
glad tidings of the birth of Christ. The painting ,from the Samuel H. Kress Col
lection, is now at the Isaac Delgado Museum of Art in New Orleans, La.

Arboretum Plans Study
of Geauga Weather
Winter is’nt what it was
when grandpa was a boy, or
perhaps grandpa’s memory
has exaggerated the ferocity
of cold weather long ago.
This winter, however, a
comprehensive study, “Win
ter Diary, 1962” under the
leadership of The Holden Ar
boretum will provide the
facts for grandpas and grand
children of the future. Winter
Diary is planned as an annual
compilation of the natural
history of the cold months in
the Greater Cleveland area.
Volunteer “Winter Watchers’
will man the project.
Nature does not stand still
in winter, says R. Henry Nor
web. Jr., director of the Ar
boretum. Plants and animals
adapt themselves in various
ways to life in the cold weath
er, and react differently de
pending on the severity of the
particular winter. Also there
are many microclimates
climate variations within the
general climate in Greater
Cleveland. In order to collect
a panoramic picture of the
whole area, Norweb hopes
that nature enthusiasts from
all parts of the city and the
suburbs will keep Winter
Diary records. School class
es are particularly invited to
participate.
Each Winter Watcher will
observe and report some self
selected aspect of nature in
cold weather animal activity
bird communities, tempera
ture variations. Their labora
tories may be their own back
yards, a nearby park a school
ground or the 1,700 acre Ar
boretum. They will mail
weekly reports to the Arbore
tum. The Winter Diary will
be kept from December 21,
the official start of winter, un
til March 21, the first day of
spring.
An organization meeting
for Winter Watchers will be
held Sunday (December 17th)
at 2:00 p.m. at the Arbore
tum’s Cooper Building.
Dr. Benjamin P. Bole, As
sociate Professor of Biology
at Western Reserve Univer
sity, who will lead Winter
Diary, will suggest interest­
ing but rarely observed as
pects of winter, and help vol
unteers set up their studies.
Some of the projects Bole
will suggest to participants
are: keeping a daily record
of ground temiperature and
what is green under the snow,
checking snow tunnels of
small rodents, listening for
owl calls a good occupation
for the family dog walker, or
studying animal tracks in the
parks. The Arboretum would
also like to know how far into
the city raccoons venture in
their quest for winter food.
At future monthly meetings
participants will exchange
data about the weather and
how it has affected plants and
wildlife in the current winter.
At a final meeting when the
winter has officially ended.
Winter Watchers will com
pare experiences, decide the
most significant aspects of
1962’s winter, and try to
make an informed guess how
it will affect nature in the
coming summer. A summary
of Winter Diary will follow in
the spring.
Although Winter Diary’s
purpose is basically historical
Director N o w e believes
that the Winter Watchers’ re
cords may provide valuable
clues to plant hardiness in
Northeastern Ohio. An impor-I
tant Arboretum u n i o
Norweb points out. is to learn
what ornamental trees and
shrubs the householder can
plant which will survive the
fiercest winter.
Would-be Winter Watchers,
unable to attend the organiza
tion meeting, may write tc
The Holden Arboretum.

tion of future meetings.

goal which has been set for
the Chardon church’s share
in the annual support of these
two fine institutions. The em
phasis throughout the church
school classes of all ages dur
ing recent days has been on
the importance of giving in
Christ’s name rather than
getting for oneself.
A special Sacrament of
Baptism of children will be
celebrated in the Chardon
Methodist church chapel on
the afternoon of Christmas
eve, December 24, at 3:00 o’
clock. Not only parents and
relatives but other interested
friends are invited to attend
this public service. Parents
who desire to have children
baptised at this special time
are asked to notify the min
ister so that the necessary
arrangements may be made
with them.
The annual service of “Car
ols and Candles” will be held
in the Fellowship Sanctuary
of the Chardon Methodist
church on Christmas Eve at
7:30 o’clock. The Christmas
Story will be retold in carols,
scripture and narrative The
offering will be part of the
yearly “White Gift” which
goes to the Methodist Child
