Christmas Cards Reflect New Color;
Emerald Foremost of Jewel Tones

NEW YORK, Dec. 8-(UP)-Color
is the big thing in Christmas cards
this year, but the plain reds, greens
and blues are bowling to jewel tones,

Emerald, a clear lighter green
than the usual Yuletide hue, seems
to be about the most popular COM
bination with gold, and perhaps a
bit of white. Ruby and garnet are
a close second, combined with either
gold or silver. Then there are rich
sapphire blues and striking COM
binations such as turquoise with
coral, aquamarine with tourmaline
or rose-quartz colorings.
However, the jewel tones have
rivals-new browns which go in for
wood tones from soft honey maple
to deep walnuts and mahoganys.
These are set off by metallic notes
of gold, dull silver and shining
chrome. They interpret the Christ

cure in going to bed with the doors
unlocked, city with practically no
boy problem, in which there was no
gambling, no serious moral haz-
ards such as are found in nearly
every city of the size of ambos No
gales anywhere, and that it is one
of the few cities remaining in the
United States. possibly the last one,
in which the friendly custom of
calling on newcomers was still ad

tendant festivities, headed by Mrs.
Charles S. Smith, Mrs. Marguerite

ton, have perfected their organiza-
ton and will start their collection

The mayor and city council have
started the ball to rolling" by a
contribution for the decoration of
the city street lighting system and
their money is now in the hands Of
w. j. Macgregor, treasurer of the
Christmas Activity Committee.
Since the drive which begins Mon
day is a community drive organized
in order to eliminate indiscriminate
collections by individual organiza-
tions, every citizen should lend all
possible cooperation to the workers
when they appear asking for contri-
buttons. This will eliminate being
approached by numerous persons in
behalf of each group individually.
The time is growing short and
plans are well under way for a fit
ting and interesting program for
old and young alike. You can do
your part by meeting the committee
members with smile and making
your contribution in a manner that
