Make Record
Of Greetings
See Newest Radios For
Smart Gift Idea

One of the newest, smartest and
certainly the most modern, of all
the ways to dispatch Christmas
greetings, is to send a friend OF
loved one, a record of your own
voice.
It's easy and it's a lot of fun,
and because many of the newest
combination Interchangeable are
now also equipped with home re-
corders'' which make these discs,
why not consider one of the new
machines for giving to the family
this year. 49,,
The combination set, on which
you can make your own greetings
record in advance, will then play
your little presentation speech for
you and the whole family.
Even better, is the fact that
with a home recorder in the living
room on Christmas morning, a
most delightful record of the good
wishes of each member of the
family to every other member Of
the family, and even the spontane'
GUS EXPLANATIONS Of surprise and
happiness when gift packages are

disc that you will be able to play
back from time to time to relish
anew what would have been only a
memory otherwise.
Radios equipped. for home re-
cording come in both table and
console models and of course are
also equipped for playing as well
as making the records.
They are of special interest tc
parents of young children, for the

recorded, and through the years, a
record of the .child's speech de-
velopment may be preserved.
For those who have no home
equipment with which to make
records, there still is . possibility
for you to send your greetings by
voice. Many music and radio
stores now have equipment which

Be Practical
Is Advice To
MOdernWife
No Doubt She Is Buying
Gift For Him With
His Own Money

Even the most sentimental wife
will do well to look her Christmas
cash straight in the eye, and admit
that if she hasn't earned it herself,
hubby is paying for his own gift
and for that reason she'd best be
practical and give him clothing
he'll enjoy wearing.
No matter how generous a soul
he may be, the thought may fit
through his mind that if it weren't
for the money he doles out as head
of the house, there just wouldn't
be any Santa Claus for him. But
once the thought has fitted out,
he'll be most a%ppreciative of a gift
which contributes to his good ap-
pearance or cherished ease.
For Indoor and Out
The racks and counters of stores
selling mems veal all through the
city, are laden with appropriate
garments for wrapping in bright
paper and gay ribbons, to cheer
Dad on Christmas morning and
long after.
For indoor hours there are robes
and cocktail jackets, pajamas and
slippers as carefully styled as
street shoes.
For business and social wear
there are shirts and ties, hose and
handkerchiefs-and even a hat or
suit which may be bought by size.
If he's a great outdoor man, he'll
welcome the cur-coat or SLACK set'
The leather jacket, hunting or fish
ing apparel, or a pair OF sturdy
boots.
Clothing Practical
Some gifts which can be bought
for a man might seem to m
feminine extravaganza. But not
clothing-which he always NEEDS
O of, but seldom takes the time
to get enough of.

NEW GIFT IDEA

A charming idea for Christmas
giving is to buy mother and daugh-
ter, father and son, or sister and
brother gifts that are replicas OF
each other.
Mother and sister, for example,
would love white fabric gloves for
party wear. Father and son will
get a kick out of wearing the same

And brother and sister will look

Santa Claus Finds Way To Fit
Auto Into Christmas Stocking

Ingenious as modern science
is, it still hasn't produced a
stocking large enough for an
automobile. But that needn't
deter you from presenting a
car to someone in the fami-
ly. A few GREATNESS ways to
dramatic such a complete gift
follows:
Get the dealer into the plot.
Have him deliver the car to
the door by an attendant. The
attendant rings the bell. Your
wife answers the ring. "Yes?"
she asks quizzically. And here
in lies the climax. The attend
ant merely answers: "Y our
car is here, madam"
Another way is even simpler.
And it affords an opportunity
for the entire family to join
The Wilmington morning star., 1940-11-21

in the raptures of delight. Put
the keys, neatly and attractive
ly wrapped, in the Christmas
stocking.
Comes the morning -. and
then someone for whom the
keys are intended opens the
package, sees the keys and
goes rhapsodic over one of the
grandest gifts you can choose
for Christmas happiness.
This latter technique might
also be used to present her
with a new home. Or if you
care for the theatrical, y o
might drive her to the home,
step out with her, march her
up to the door and present
her with the keys.
Either way, you've found a
magnificent way Of producing
GREATNESS joy.

Uncle Sam faces his greatest re-
sponsibility in the tremendous de-
task for his army of mail
men. But annually this job is car
ried through cheerfully, efficiently
and with elaborate preparation.
Yet, the final answer to this prob
lem of delivering Christmas Gifts
before Christmas Day, rests on the
sender-determined by the time
the Gift was bought and when it is
mailed. This year, more than ever,
mailing of Christmas Gifts should
be done as early as possible.
There is good reason why mail

Christmas slogan equally impor-
tant as the traditional "shop early

improved, forecasting a greater
measure of Christmas Gift joy for
more people, and correspondingly
a heavier Christmas mailing sea-

Secondly, the burden will be
further increased because of the

sands of men participating in

many of whom will be unable to

ing of Gift packages to them adds
a new delivery problem.
Thirdly, the post office depart
ment faces a perplexing and diff
ficult problem in the d%ispatching
of gift packages to foreign lands.
Every one of these problems car
be more easily solved if senders OIL
Christmas Gift packages Will CO.
operate with the post office by
mailing early.
Delays Avoided
Gifts will be delivered to men in
service anywhere in the country
as though they were civilians,
without trouble or delay.
Gifts being mailed to foreign
lands, especially to Europe, must
face war embargoes on parcel
posts and disrupted transportation
facilities in many countries.
However, some nations have no
such limitations yet. and early
mailings may reach their destina-
ton without undue delay. You can
get a list of foreign lands which
will receive such mailings from
your local post office.
Christmas gift packages to Gen.
trail and South America afford no
difficulty and letters as we'll as
Clipper mails will find smooth de-
liveries. But all such mailings
should be early, advised the post
office.
More than ever this year, the
Post Office is urging citizens to get
their gift packages out early and
their usual campaign beginning on
November 1, takes on added signi-
ficance due to the factors men
toned above.
Post Office Is Link
Our link between the boys serv-
inc Uncle Sam in national defense
and home is the post office.
Gift-senders will find happy CO.
operation from the mailmen IN
quick, cheerful service.
The joy that such Yuletide ex-
pressions will bring is certain to
infuse a heightened spirit and pa
triotic significance to these men.
A Christmas gift package is a
symbol of warmth and unity be-
tween the boys at camp and the
folks at home.

Leader Must Prove Himself
With Yale Crew This Year

law degree, an ABB, and Ph.O., is
not letting the warm weather soften
his heart. The crew is going through
its PAGES with the vigor that usually
marks spring training, for this year
is an important one in the annals
Of Yale rowing history. When the
shells line up on the Thames River
at New London for the June classic
from Bartlett's Cove to the draw
bridge, Harvard will have four con-
secutive wins to its credit, a record
that has only been broken by them
twice since the races started In 1852
And Leader is determined that the
Harvards be scuttled this year.
The winning streak began in 1886
when the Crimson took the Elts's
shirts, and was followed up by three
more victories after Tom Bolles in
troduced the Washington stroke to
the men from Cambridge. The short
rythmic motion places a premium on
leg and arm drive, and has done good
service. Leader, 50 far, has taken
the stand that "we'll stick to the Ole
methods. They've worked before
and they'll work again"
Old Grads Wonder
However, the Alumni gathered IN
the taproom of the New York Yale
Club, have begun to wonder. 1t Is
not quite like the early years OF the
century, when the blue crew carried
its shell into the river as a mere
formality, because the Harvards hao
won only eight out Of twenty-eigh'
races.
This is the year for Leader to prove
himself, they feel, taciturn Ed was

Stanley Livingston at stroke, Gross

The rest are new men that Leader
picked as possible winners. But the
lineup today may mean nothing TO-
morrow. The main undergraduate
complaint against Leaders coaching

pens, Leader is out to win. After all
the Washington stroke can't be as
good as all that.
