learn that he is now so near to his
former home SO that they will be able
to occasionally hear his inspiring
messages.
Rev. Trader is a capable minister,
with splendid delivery and is noted
for his interesting and deeply inspir-
ational messages. At each of his
pastorates he has made many friends,

other churches, reluctantly parted
with him, knowing that their loss
was a great gain to the other church.

Christmas Card Was Invented
By a Man With Many Friends

dinner table Each member of the
family was looking into brimming
glass which he held in his hand.
When these cards were distribut-
ed, they raised furor among tenn
perance proponents throughout the
country. The disturbance focused
nationwide attention on the new
greeting card.
1t was not until several years lat
er, however, that the first litho-
graphed Christmas card made its
appearance. Originality was almost
completely lacking. The greeting
was invariably "a Merry Christ
mas" or "a jolly Christmas. De-
signs seldom had anything to do
with the season, but contained pic
lures of birds, flowers, animals or
children.
America soon adopted the British
custom, and the Christmas card was
born.

Minimum Scale
For Beauty Operators
Goes Into Effect

Revised recommendations of
the Cosmetology Wage Board,
fixing a schedule of minimum
wages for the cosmetology in
dustry, formally were approved
last week by Director George A.
Strain, of the State Department
of Industrial Relations.
The schedule affects all New
ark and Licking county beauty
operators as well as those over
the state.
The action was accompanied
by a directory minimum wage
order, effective Dec. 5, which
officially placed the 25,000 en-
ployees of the industry under
the protection of the State Mini
mum Wage law for probation
airy period of at least 80 days.
During this probationary per-
iod any employer found to be a
violator of the provisions of the
directory order may be sum-
moned on Is days notice to q
pear before Director Strain or
James P. Walsh, superintendent
of the Division of Minimum
Wage, to show cause why he
should not be penalized.
In the event hearing results
in finding of non-observance,
penalty may be imposed in the
form Of publication of the en-
ployer's name.
After probationary period
of at least 90 days, the directory
order may be made mandatory
following public hearing. When
the provisions of the order have
been in effect for a year, the
minimum wage structure may
be reconsidered to determine
whether it should be modified.
The wage boards recommen-
dations fix $13 as the minimum
for beauty operators in COM
munities of less than 5000 pop
ulation, excepting those in me-
tropolitan areas; $14.50 for op-
orators in cities between 5000
and $4,000 population, excepting

CHRISTMAS cards are almost as
~ much part of Christmas as
Santa Claus himself, yet they have
been in use less than a century.
According to most records, the
first Christmas card was designed
in l846 by Mr.. J. c. Horsley,
prominent member of the Royal
academy of London. 1t was pro-
duced at the request of Sir Henry
Cole, a man with many friends.
Sir Cole wondered how he could
express his personal Christmas
greeting to a thousand friends
spread throughout England. After
dismissing the thought of visiting
each personally, or giving presents,
he decided to send them each
card by mail.
One thousand hand colored cards
were prepared with a picture show
