Inferior Arrangements Are Amply Suited to AL
 minimum Ware

Fitting in with the modern dec orative scheme of things are the latest hammered aluminium trays, bowls and vases. One big advantage is that aluminium does not tarnish. To clean it, simply wash in warm scapy water.
 The Christmas reporter saw a display of huge trays, hand decor ated with varying motifs, from pine boughs to modernistic de- signs. Large bowls, beautiful for fruit groupings, are surprisingly light.
 One of the beautiful products of the machine age is the spun aluminium bowl, light as a feather. It will make lovely ivy vase ln some home at Christmas time. An other dish, proving the practicality of the modern mind, is insulated made of spun aluminium. Thus It will keep foods either hot or cold. A wood cover fits tightly.
 At first glance it looked like a flat shovel. At second, it looked like an aluminium frying pan with the front side knocked down. F1n- ally the reporter gave up. It was an aluminium doughnut or popcorn serVerl

 DECEMBER

It is five o'clock on Christmas morning. You know it is Christmas because Sister and Junior are play ing little game of hopping on one foot and shouting the fact loudly in your left ear, and by half opening one eye you can see that the clock says it is five am. No, the pillow isn't thick enough to shut out the song the darlings are singing about Santa Claus and his merry little workmen. You get up and sleepily follow the chil- dren downstairs trying to think up answers to-"How did Santa get out of the furnace? Would he get dirty? How can he get all over the world in one nightP" Who started this business of reindeer and Santa Claus anyway
 Wiping a steamy face. you have been in the Kitchen all day you see that all of your relatives are here. Dinner goes off all right ex- cept for one little episode in which Daddy has to explain to Junior that there are only two orumsticks in a turkey and these must be given to cousin Susie and Willie and minor discussions as to wht gets white or dark meat and what makes the pudding so soggy.
 After dinner, as you rescue Baby from sampling one of those cute little red balls on the tree, you look at the clock and think. Such a LOVELY Christmas"

DENVER. CoLO.-Because Louis K. Sigman sometimes went hungry when he was an orphan boy in the streets of Brooklyn, N r., he now gives 50,000 pounds of meat each Christmas for distribution to needy families by Denver newspaper. This custom, followed the past 10 years, has helped make the holiday season cheery for the destitute. There are 5000 parcels of 10 pounds each. In the l0-year period. MT.

He exists as certainly as tOre ana gen erosify and deuotion exist and you know that they abound and giue to life ifs highest beauty and joy"
 Forty-two years ago an editorial writer for the New York Sun penned these now-famous lines in answer to a scrawled letter from little girl named Virginia, whose faith in San ta had been shaken.
 Today Virginia is grown up, mar ried, and serves as assistant prin- cipal in an east side New York school. Her name k Dr. Laura Vir- ginia Douglas and this Christmas she's playing Santa Claus not only to her pupils but her own daughter. Meanwhile, in 42 years she's evolved some ideas of her own on what to tell children about Santa Claus.
 Pink checked. vivacious, yet shy and hesitant in speaking of personal matters, pr. Douglas is not in favor of breaking the news boldly to a child that there is no Santa Claus. He will learn naturally, she says. as he turns from the free, imaginative stage of early childhood to an in terest in the world around him.
 When she first became old enough to realize the full meaning of the Suns editorial, she felt badly be- cause poor children were not able to have Christmas gifts as tangible evidence of Santa's existence. Lat CT. she says. she grew to realize that material gifts were not so impor- tant as the faith which even the very poor child could have in something spiritual.

As HighlUay Head

o. C. Kohl, IS, new chief en-
gineer of Lima Division No. of the
State Highway department, is the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. James B. Kohl,
of near Bluffton.
His parents reside on what is
known as the old Peter Bixel farm,
formerly owned by Alf Kiene, two
miles southwest of Bluffton. They
formerly lived near Columbus Grove.
Kohli's appointment as the high
way division head was announced
last week by Col. Robert Beightler,
new director of the state department
of highways under the incoming Re-
publican administration.
The new division engineer, who
succeeds Charles Ash, will assume
his duties next Monday, the day
Governor-elect John w. Bricker will
be inaugurated.
Former resident engineer of Allen
and Van Vert counties, Kohl has
had wide experience in the engin-
eering field. He graduated from Tri-
State college, Angola, Ind. In addi-
tion to former work in the highway
department Kohl also has been il
government service, directing en-
gineering work at aviation fields.
More recently he has been assist
ant WPA engineer of the GAINESVILLE

cision and won three.
A scarlet fever epidemic IN the
Shawnee area has resulted in the
closing of school there this week,
and for that reason the scheduled
game between Bluffton and the In
dians will not be played.
Ashland's crack team, Bluffton
colleges opponent in a game here
Saturday night, has racked up four
victories thus far, and it has an
average of only a shade less than
so points per game.
Coach Lonero, of the Eagles, has
four lettermen from his successful
contingent of last year, and in ad-
dition he has a flock of newcomers
that actually are taking over posi-
tions held by the veterans.
Five of the most promising sopho-
mores played under Coach Lonerc
at Ashland High school before he
went to the college as mentor. They
were regular members of the Ash
land High outfit that twice went Il
the state tournament at Columbus.
His wealth of material makes i
possible for the Ashland coach t.
place two equally good teams on th'
floor at any time, and accounts il
quite measure for the high scor
| ing record of the Eagles.

Ramseyer, Bluffton veteran who was
unable to report for practice prior to
