FAIR: State and county will be
held this coming year in many
places that have had none since the
war began. Delegates to the annual
convention in Chicago of the Associ-
alton of District and County Fairs,
coming from % states, resolved to
reopen the big shows. 1t was said
that fairs held this year drew larger
crowds and made more money than
for a long time.
HEAVYWEIGHTS: Jimmy Bivins,
called the ranking heavyweight fight
er in the absence of Joe Louis, won
a hard-fought decision over Lee Muir
ray in a 10-round battle. The crowd
expressed disapproval of the result.
Bivins weighed 187 pounds, Murray,
200.
LUCK: Lieut.. N. Jacobs, naval
flier, crashed near San Diego. Suf-
fering injuries and shock, discovered
that he was behind the targets of a
machine gun battalion. He escaped
injury from 10000 bullets, although
he was in line of fire. He was found
semiconscious.

FOUR POWERS:
Map Ne,U World

Meeting in the Near East, the
'Big Four" of the Allied powers
plotted the destruction of the Axis,
with the provision that all territory
overrun by the enemy must be re-
turned to the subject people.
For Germany and her small al
lies, President Roosevelt, Premier
Stain and Prime Minister Churchill
drew up an ultimatum demanding
unconditional surrender or else VOW
ing the enemy's destructive defeat.
Administration of reoccupied terri
tory along the pattern of joint CO.
operation employed in Italy also was
formulated in accordance with prin-
ciples of the Moscow conference.
Conferring with Chang Kai-shek
In the shadow of Egypt's pyramids,
President Roosevelt and Prime Min
lister Churchill agreed upon uncondi-
tional surrender for Japan, with res
toration of Manchuria, Formosa and
parts of China proper to Kai-shek's
government, and return Of all other
territory occupied since Pearl Har-
bor.

SOUTHWEST PACIFIC:
Aussies Cain

Moving to cut off supply sources
feeding embattled Japanese troops
to the south, U. S. Liberator bomb
ers few in force to the enemy's big
base of Wewak to dump tons of ex-
plosives.
To the south, Australian troops
slowly picked their way through jun
gle up the northeastern coast of New
Guinea, isolating strong Jap out
posts on inland paths. Disruption of
communications would cripple ene-
my resistance at these points while
the Allied forces worked toward
main points.
On Bougainville, U. S. troops were
held to short gains by stubborn Japs,
entrenched in strong Notifications
behind jungle foliage. U. S. ad-
vances resulted from careful
squirming through the dense brush.
Bloody Action
The single bloodiest action of U. S.
forces in the war thus far was the
capture of the Gilberts, where the
Yanks suffered 3,722 casualties.
Fiercest fighting was on Tarawa,
where 1,026 marines and doughboys
were killed and 2,577 wounded,
charging the Japs' steel and PALM
logged Notifications. Losses at the
other little islets totaled sc dead and
123 wounded.
Gilberts' casualties compared with
3,767 suffered on Guadalcanal, and
the 3,497 during the struggle for the
Salerno beachhead. Jap losses in
the Gilberts were estimated at $500.

Simplicity Motif
OfHoliday Table

Let simplicity be the keynote Of
your table decorations during the
holiday season. Food and fine fell
lowship are complete without yards
of dazzling tinsel and impressive dis
plays to center the table.
Warmth should be reflected by the
colors of the centerpiece. Polished
apples, sprays of evergreen from the
tree in the front yard, fruit cake
with sprigs of red holly, and greet
ings written with pomegranate seeds
on a mirror spell out. the Christmas
message.
Evergreen Corsages.
Individual evergreen corsages on
top of the napkin at each place are
economical and attractive. Select
sprays of evergreen which are about
four inches long and fasten a cluster
of bittersweet or cranberries to the
center with a fine wire. Cover the
wire with a small red ribbon and
tie bow on the front of the corsage.
Bind the bottom of the stem with
clear, sticky cellophane to keep any
of the natural sap of the branch
from seeping out. Equip each cor
sage with small pin.
Center the table with a group of
four corsages on a mirror. Place
the stem ends at the center as the
base for one broad Christmas can
die. The mirror will reflect the
bright colors and will catch the drip
ping wax from the candle.
Fruit Wreath.
A fruit Christmas wreath on a
polished chop plate is made of green
grapes instead of the holly and dot
ted with clusters of red cranberries
rather than holly berries. The wreath
is finished with a large red bow.
Wash bunch of light green grapes
in warm water and break them into
clusters about two inches in diam
eter. Remove any spotted or dried
grapes from the punches. Arrange
in a circle on a large wooden plat
ter, with the fruit overlapping to
make an even wreath.
Cut fine wire or white, wlry pipe
cleaners into two-inch lengths with
the kitchen scissors. Place bright
cranberry on the end of each piece
of wire. Twist three or four of the
cranberry-tipped wires together to
form a cluster of berries. Tuck the
ends of the wire deep into the grape
wreath.

FOOTBALL: After

FOOTBALL: Attendance at col
lege football games declined 1874 per
cent from 1912, survey of 81 large
colleges and universities disclosed.
The drop was biggest in the South,
with 28.4 per cent, and smallest in
the East, at ga per cent. A similar
downturn was shown when 1912 fig
ures were compared with 1941, the
decline between the two years be-
ing 10 per cent.
HELICOPTERS: A Pittsburgh
taxi company has made application
to the public utility commission for
permission to operate an aerial taxi
cab service, using helicopters, after
the war.
USED CARS: Sales of used COM
mercial cars were more than dou-
bled in October as compared with
September, according to figures of
financing companies. They report
ed a 124 per cent increase in this
class Of time loans. Sales of new
cars, both commercial and passen-
ger. declined, according to the same
data.

Trimming Your Tree?
Here Are Useful Tips

Ho, hum, it's about that time of
year. For Santa, and for Prancer
and the many tinseled packages
around-you've guessed it, time to
trim the tree.
This favorite indoor sport Of many
Hoosiers brings out all the latent
abilities of chef, window dresser and
wallpaper hanger. And as busy as
the fabulous man with one arm and
paint brush is the Christmas tree
trimmer. First, get the treel You
have it? Then stalk the room as
on safari for wild deer. What
corner should the tree occupy? Over
there by the piano? By a window
so the neighbors can see it? Or per-
haps just inside the front door.
Next obtain a strong stepladder
and try it in all positions. This may
come in handy when you have COM
pleted the trimming and forget that
the star is to be added to the tip.
With popcorn strings, tinsel, stars
and what-not usually what-not), get
started. Turn to the right side of
the tree. Here you will find one
branch that is too long, and another
too low. Add lights and work up
from the lower branches. There are
usually numerous pauses in the tree
trimming ceremony to digest the
mental pabulum offered by friends
and visiting relatives. Pay no at
tention to this advice. It's your tree,
isn't it?
Rock wool sometimes is added for
the snow-like effect and diamond
"dust" gives pretty sparkle. Some
trimmers of the 1890 school like to
tie on ornaments and candy canes.
These fall easily, however, and don't
bounce. Bedecked from tip to stern,
the Christmas tree holds a warmth
of family interest. But the trimming
that's fun enough for whole eve-
ming.

ITALY:
Crack Winter Line

Striking at both ends of the Nazis'
winter line in southern Italy, the AL
lies made deep penetrations in their
drive to Rome. To avoid giving up
any billeting or other facilities, the
Germans dynamited towns in the AL
lies path.
The smash against the Nazis' de-
fenses began with the Eighth army's S
assault on the enemy's hilly posts
overlooking the Sangro river.
Aided by swarms of Allied fighter
bombers and massed artillery which
laid down a carpet of fire on the
Germans ground, U. S. and British
troops pushed forward for gains
which were measured in miles.
To offset the Allies charge, it was
reported that Nazi Rommel rushed

mas Eve is called Chrischtchind-
Ii in the German speaking part Of
Switzerland, Pere Noel in the
western or French part and Besa-
ma in the southern or Italian part.
The Netherlands, Sint Nicolaas,
or in children's rhymes, Sinter-
klaas. Sweden, Jultomte. The
Irish equivalent is Naomi Mo
clas, but this phrase is never used;
instead they say Father Christ
mas. R0mania, Mos Craciun (Old

RUSSIA:
Fight for Ukraine

Having stopped the Russian tide,
German troops struggled to roll it
back again in the priced Ukraine,
long the apple of Hitler's eye in the
east.
It's top soil rich for farming, the
bowels of its earth full of essential
minerals and ore, the Nazis followed
their early capture of the Ukraine
by vast resettlement projects.
Squeezed out of the eastern portions
of the province, they tried to cling
to the western.
Having pulled 100000 troops out of
the Gomel bulge, the Nazis also
slowed the Reds drive in the north.
All along the 1900 mile front, in

Tree Decorations

In spite of glittering decorations,
the Christmas tree would only re-

Singing of Yule Carols
Widely Known, Tradition

The custom of singing carols from
house to house on Christmas Eve is
today one of the best known and
most beloved features of the Christ
mas tradition. Wherever and when
ever Christmas is celebrated it is a
day of rejoicing and good cheer, and
joy is naturally expressed in song.
The first Christmas carol is said
to be that sung by the heavenly host
when the birth of Christ was an
nounced to the shepherds.

Christmas Carols

The old custom of caroling and

inspire in the hearts of all, the true
meaning of the Christmas spirit and
make for generosity and kindness.

Greatest Yule Hymn
Had Humble Origin

On a silent snow-covered night in
the year 1918 on the eve of Christ
mas, Josef M0hr, a young parish
priest near Salzburg, Austria, sat
thinking of the Christmas story. Its
poetry filed his soul and into his
mind there rushed "Stille Nacht." I"
The next day he asked an old friend
Franz Gruber, teacher of music who
played the organ in MOhr's little
church, to set the words to music.
The villagers of M0hr's parish were
the only people who knew the song
for number of years. Then an or.
gan builder came to the church to
repair the organ and copied the
song, taking it into the outer world.
1t was first sung at Christmas con-
cert in 1888.
SILENT NIGHT

All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavily hosts sing Alleluia;
Christ, the Saviour, is born,
Christ, the Saviour, is born!
Silent night, holy night,
Son of God, loves pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face.
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.
