Girl Offers Helpful
Hints for Simple
Christmas Gifts
By Elizabeth Dean, Is
Fairfax (Va.l High School.

Do you have few friends to
whom you want to give a small i'm
practical gift, and yet you can't
think of anything to make to satisfy
your longing? Well, I believe 1 can
give you few helpful suggestions.
We can all get few acorns and
tops from the nearby woods. String
the acorns or even the tops and then
tie them with a gay piece of wool
This will make a nice and ineXpen-
sive bracelet or necklace for any
high school girl or for a woman If
in between each acorn you put small
beads OF different colors you will be
able to wear them with any number
of costumes.
Or maybe you have some pieces
of goods of which you know you
could make something, but you just
don't know what. Why not make
Bingham dog or a calico cat? You
can embroider eyes, nose and mouth
for these animals, These are the
gifts that will catch many a young
persons eye,
I know almost every one has an
old inner tube in the garage that
is usually left around to decay. If
you try you will find that you can
cut out very ATTRACTIVE dog or cat
which you can stuff, and then out
of darker pieces of inner tube you
can cut eyes, nose, tongue and feet,
which can be glued on with tire
glue. Use the blanket stitch to give
it a bright finishing touch.
These gifts will make any one
happy and they cost very little.

II these old walls could only speak,
what wondrous tales they'd
tell,
For things have happened in this
inn you'd never dream befell!
1t must have been quite long ago
the Roman census days
When scores of people came and
went along these dusty ways.
If only I had known, said he, that
day so long ago
But I was poor and so were they,
and how was I to know?
My little inn was full-each room;
the Roman guards were here,
Alexus and his friends, who were
consuming all my beer.
To many a weary one I'd said, no
room-youll have to find
The next place! even though I knew
it was as full as mine.
But late that night there came a
manlAlis wife, too, on beast
She's ill, he said, we can't go on!
My sharp words somehow
ceased,
For something in his quiet voice
COR was it in her eyes
That looked so like my dear Rhoda's,
ten years in ParadiseO
Stopped me short. Unbelievably,
I heard my voice say,
Follow me-I'm sure there's place.
For how could I turn them
away?
I took them to place once used
~ r-1imals for a stall:

The Innkeeper's Story
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION
By Terry Marshall, IL,

1t was wretched sort of place, but
they didn't mind at all.
II I had known. they would have
had my best rooms, warm
a-glow- Q
But I was poor and so were they
and how was I to know?
The old man sighed and then went
on. When all was still that
night
And even the Roman soldiers had
gone out like a light,
Joseph came and said that the Babe
was born! With joyful cries
We went outside and 10, a light
soft, radiant filled the skies.
And in that shimmering armament
all clarifying God
Were angels of the Heavenly Host,
above us as we trod
To where the Babe lay in the
Stall-a wondrous sight!
knew
Not its significance or what that
Child would do.
I went back then and tried to
sleep; a knocking loud and
wild
Soon woke me- Shepherds stood
without inquiring for the Child
I took them to him wondering, and
they worshiped at his bed
And in the morning went their
way-what can it mean? !

I marveled greatly at these things

clock could be put to good use if
it woke the radio, too. Therefore,
he devised a sort of lever which
was connected to the electric wall
socket. When the alarm went of,
the winding key turned and pushed
the lever thus turning on the cur
rent to the radio.
But that's not all While on the
subject of clocks, Danny disliked
the chore of having to wind an old
timepiece every day. "a pendulum
affair, by the WayD Inventive genius
again came to his rescue. He pur-
chased two magnets and set one on
each side of the pendulum. Then
he swung the pendulum, and the
magnets did the rest. When the
pendulum approached one magnet,
1t was pulled toward the other. The
clock kept running for several weeks
without being wound. Danny claims
that he thus discovered the secret
of perpetual motion.
His clever work was destroyed.
however, when he decided to take
the clock apart to look at the in
sides. This he did, but unfortunately
he didn't know how to reassemble
it correctly. Meanwhile, his magnets
had become demagnetized of old
age so the clock was sent to a re-
pair shop. 1t now runs by springs.
Light switches are impractical,
Danny says. He is annoyed by the
fact that each light has a separate
switch. Why not have one switch
for all? That's what Danny has.
Tired of being made to turn out his
little sisters bedroom light when
she had gone to bed, or having to
turn out the hall light when his
parents were going out, Danny con-
nected all the lights to one switch
which he placed in his bedroom.
Now, when he wants the lights to
go on or of. he has only to press
q floor button with his foot.
And still another device. Danny
likes to listen to the radio after
his family is asleep, the only catch
being that it has been too loud. He
Immediately got busy and hooked
up set of earphones to the re-
ceiver. The idea worked beautifully
for time, but the extra strain on
the tubes eventually proved too
great. The radio is now in the re-
pair shop with three blown tubes
and damaged condenser.
In the future. Danny wants to rig
up another set of earphones to his
radio, but this time they will be for
broadcasting. He claims that if a
photograph can be hooked up to a
loudspeaker, so can earphones. He
says he is going to try out his idea
some time soon. Danny lives at 727

y
these plays have come many OF our
Christmas carols.
In Holland, St. Nicholas, the pa
iron of the children, is believed to
bring gifts on Christmas eve. The
children put their wooden shoes in
front of the fire, and also hay and
carrots for ST Nicholas horse. Nor
wegian children also believe in ST,
Nicholas, but their gifts are hidden.
and they spend long time looking
for them.
In the Balkans the gifts are be-
lieved to be brought by the Christ
child. Italian children draw their
gifts from large bowl, which they
call the Urn of Fate because some
of the packages are blank, and there
is much excitement in the drawing.
In Italy, as in Spain, they have bon
fires and fireworks.
Our custom Of making a Christ
mas tree for birds has come from
the Scandinavians. They place a
sheaf of wheat on a long pole out
side for the birds on Christmas
morning.
Christmas trees have been known
for a long time Some people trace
them back to the Romans In the
18th century, the Germans started
having trees, and now the custom
has spread over the world.

!. gummed tape to a cardboard base
to make it stand firmly upright.
Throw the wreaths over the candle
just as in horseshoes. A ringer
counts two and leaner counts one.
Christmas candle is another game
of fun. but it calls for caution while
playing. Have one person hold q
lighted candle in a holder. Blind
fold each guest in turn. Turn him
around several times and instruct
him TO walk up TO the person hold
ing the candle and blow it out
There will be a lot of laughter at
the many mistakes in direction ano
frantic pufflngs of the players.
Quiet games requiring som e
thought will also be in order. Here
are two TO try. For the first, give
each guest a sheet of paper with the
word Christmas printed in the
left margin from top TO bottom.
Each is then instructed to write be-
side the letter C the name of some
thing to eat, and beside the remain
ing letters, in order. the name of a
car, a study in school, a bird, a
flower. game. toy. a book, and
a boys or girls name. The one with
the largest number of words Is the
winner.
Christmas list is another good
test. Pass out sheets of paper and
ask guests to rule of six squares
across the five squares down. so that
there are 80 squares on the paper.
Ask some one to name five-letter
word. This is written in the first
vertical column. a letter in each
space. Now have the players label
each Of the five remaining vertical
columns as you direct them. The
first might be gift for boy the
second gift for girl" the third
gift of food the fourth gift for
the house" and the fifth gift of a
toy" Now each player has to write
gift in each space which begins
with the letter at the left.
In other words. if your five-letter
word was ''soapy," the players might
write in the first horizontal line
sled" sewing set sugar"
sweeper" swing" Then they
would write gifts for each classical
ton beginning with 20" in the
second line, and so on. Try to pick
five-letter words in which no letters
are repeated. If you took sense, y
for example, the guests would have
to think of 10 gifts beginning with
IS" and 10 beginning with "e" OF
course, the player who thinks of the
most gifts wins.
To wind up your party, play
writing to Santa Claus" Each
player is given a blank sheet of
paper. He writes the name of the
thing he wants most for Christmas,
folds the paper over so the name is
concealed, and passes it to the
person on his right. Then he writes,
on the paper given him. the reason
why he wants the gift so badly.
Again the papers are folded and
passed along. On the third sheet
given him, each player writes what
he'll do to get his present, then
signs his name. The papers are
then collected and read. It's sure
fire laugh provider, especially if you
mix up the guests so girls and boys
alternate.
