Tmm4y THESE DAYS OF
hustle and hustle, even
doctors think it is well
4 flor every one to have
= - hobby. The hobby
is a safe place TO forget the
work-a-day world for a time,
and to relax. One of the Ma.
tional Broadcasting systems has
an hour they designate as Hobby
Hour. 1t was Mrs. George L.
Bruning, of East Second street,
South Milford, who let the broad
casting company know that she
had a very fine hobby, and now
they have summoned her to New
ark, N. j., to tell about it. For
several years Mrs. Bruning has
been responsible for a Christ
mas for the small children of her
neighborhood, and each year it
has grown so that she is almost
a Mrs. Santa Claus. 1t is her
hobby. A beautifully lighted tree,
presents for everyone and there
has been carol singing in the
morning of Christmas day. On
the twentieth Mrs. Bruning will
go to Newark, New Jersey, to be
the guest of W0R for three days,
and on Wednesday evening she
will tell of her hobby over a
nationwide hookup. The hour
is usually 7.15. 1t is not likely
to be different next week, so
there will be many radios turned
to that station to hear Mrs. -Bru-
ming and to hear tell of her
worthwhile hobby.

on the bottle is Creomulsion, and
you'll get the genuine product and
