Exhibition of Heirloom Glass at OAR
Museum Presents Impressive Display

! our more conservative leaders For
instance, after visiting many of
them in upper New York State in
1910, De Witt Clinton said gravely
of this industrial expansion. 1T is
to be regretted this business Is
overdone.
Among the objects made during
this period, included in the exhibi-
ton, are a glass ball from the glass
house of Albert Gallatin (about 1885,
and rolling pins, one of them made
of beautiful dark green glass.
Fine Cut Glass
Some admirable examples of cut
glass are shown. one of the most
arresting being a pokal on which
is engraved a Colonial dinner party
with IA people at table; bottles and
platters of food are before them, and
all hold drinking goblets. The cut
glass of England and Ireland ir the
mid-18th century was expensive by
the time it was imported to this
country. so it was reproduced here
in a cheaper blown three mold glass
Salts, decanters, goblets and
glasses of all types are in the exhibi-
ton. A case full of flip glasses, plain
nodded, enameled and cut and en-
graved, also includes a recipe for
making flip. To judge from the
description, concocting this drink is
much shower performance than
making cafe diable.
Patrick Henrys punch bowl, a
huge plain glass one of pleasing
shape. is the object on view most
interesting from the historical stand
point, followed closely by a glass
ale-mug owned by Capt. Samuel
Knox of Revolutionary fame. In the
class of unusual or outmoded items
are such things as a glass fly trap
and hour glasses. Collectors OF
beautiful old glass will probably be
most concerned with Stiegel glass
and with cotton stem and air twist
glasses, of graceful shapes and
quaint designs.
An entire cupboard in the OAR
Museum is occupied by an exhibit
from the Conick Studio and Work
shop, which shows the successive
steps in making a stained glass
medallion.
Collectors Of Stiegel glass will be
interested to know that during Feb
ruary and March, this exhibition will
be augmented by the extensive COL
lection owned by Col. and Mrs. Gug-
genheim, to be shown publicly for
the first time.
| The OAR Museum is open free to
the public daily from to 8 and Sat-
urdays from q to /. The exhibition

by Rosalind Wright, director and
Gladys Webster. assistant director.

1t was two days before Christmas
and Santa was practicing going
down the chimney. He was strug-
CLING violently when Mrs Santa en-
tered the room.
oh, my goodness, this will never
do. Suppose you get stuck in a
chimney and there will be no one to
help you? I think you should re-
duce"
Il think SO, too" said Santa. "I
think I should be a little more up
to date I'm going to reduce and
this Christmas I'm going to use an
airplane instead of my reindeer and
sleigh"
So Santa started to work on his
plans. He made toy airplane with
a rubber band attached to the pro-
peller The propeller had to be
wound up in order for the plane to
run.

To reduce, he would stand on his
head, turn Somersaults, Jump up ano

just finished buckling his boot.

room and said, Good luck"

For all its readers The Junior
Star wishes the best of everything
In the New Year beginning tomor-
row.
As for the year ending tonight
we'll, it hasn't been so bad sall things
considered. We've made remarkable
progress in the war and few tenn
porary setbacks here and there
such as the German counteroffens-
i've against the American lst Army
shouldn't cause us to overlook that.
In spite of what the Nazis have
done to the 1st Army, the fact re-
mains that we've chased them out
of most Of France and much of Bel
GUM, and that Greece is liberated,
even though some Of its political
factions don't seem to realize it.
AS to the war in the Pacific-Gen.
Macarthur has made a good start
toward liberation of the Philippines
and Admiral Nimitz has forced the
japanese Navy to make itself
scarce. Some military experts be-
lieve the war against the Japs may
be over before the one against the
Germans.
Cigarettes are scarce, but, of
course, that doesn't affect boys and
girls. Gasoline is short but young
people aren't seriously affected by
that, either. The only shortages
can think of, offhand, that are felt
by young folks are those involving
candy, chickens and turkeys.
It's tough to have to get along
with limited supply of candy and
without any chicken or turkey at
all. But, as any GI will tell you, a
foxhole isn't exactly banquet hall,
and K rations aren't the most ele-
CANT dinner fellow ever sat
down to.
So don't feel sorry for yourself
You're doing all right. And you'll
continue to 90 all right, thanks to
our Army, Navy and Marines. The
only thing you have to worry about
is whether you're doing all right
for them.
Are you buying War bonds and
stamps to the limit of your ability?
Are you helping the blood donors
program?
Are you salvaging scrap materials?
Are you doing your share of work
for the Red Gross?
II you can answer all those ques-
tions affirmatively you'll have a
happy New Year, you may be sure.
And if you can't-well, it isn't too
late. You can get busy right now
you can buy bonds and stamps, push
the blood donors program, salvage
scrap and lend hand to the Red
/ Cross
That's one way Of making sure of
a happy New Year - and you can
/ do 1t.

went to France. Finally, they came
to America. They saw an airplane
that had crashed into a snowpile.
That must be him." they said.
So they landed with the sleigh and
unhitched themselves from it. A
house was standing nearby with a
broken window"
He must be in there they said.
So they walked over to the house
and went in. Inside they saw Santa
playing with toy electric train.
They went into a huddle, and all
agreed that when the plane crashed,
Santa must have been thrown from
the plane, through the window into
the house and knocked out of his
senses. They thought of all kinds
of ideas to help him, but none were
good enough. Finally, Donner said.
