Your Christmas tree decorations
Will probably have to be the result
OF your own ingenuity this year.
'Ilnsel, colored glass ornaments and
other old standbys are scarcer than
ever.
All you need is some crepe pa
per, RIBBON, paste and crayon to
make tree decorations.
Dennison suggests paper chains
OF kindergarten memory. They're
easy to make. Just cut strips of
red and white crepe paper S
inches long and 1-2 inch wide.
Grain OF crepe should run up and
down the 5-inch length. Paste
ends of one white strip together
forming ring. Then slip red
strip through the white ring and
paste edges together forming a
second ring. Continue makine
rings of alternating colors u n l
cnaln is desired length.
A snow man can be cut out of
w n t e mat stock lightweight
cardboard). Cut hat out of black
mat stock..sUs red gummed dots
for buttons and mouth and crayons
for eyes and nose.
Christmas Carolers are made of
pink crepe paper 4 inches square.
Paste into tube shape, with the
grain of the crepe, around a ball
Of cotton. Tie lightly with spool
wire one inch from top and bottom.
Cut, off surplus paper at top which
forms the head, but leave it at
bottom, to form neck. Cut features
out of red and blue gurnmed dots.
Tint cheeks with rouge. For the
Eair cut a strip of yellow crepe
PAPER three inches deep and long
enough to reach around back of
dolls head. Slash top and bottom
edges into coarse fringe. Curl firing.
ed edges over knitting needle.
Paste to dolls head. Make short
curls for bangs across the forehead.
Make bow of red satin ribbon and
tie in front of top curls Insert
wire loop in the top of head for
hanging on tree For sleeves cut
strip of white crepe paper inches
by 8 inches, grain of crepe run
ming with 5-inch length. Fold strip
in half, making it l IL inches by
S. Then gather strip in half, making
each sleeve two and one half inches
long. Tie sleeves in place to the
surplus crepe below doyy's head.
Finish with bow of red satin rib
bon. Cut book out of green. and
white striped paper and past to end
of sleeves.
A cornucopia is made by cut
ting a semicircle 2 inches in diam
eter our Of red and white striped
paper. Paste green glazed paper on
the back of the striped paper. Then
roll into cone and paste the edges
together. Cut cone slightly lower in
front than back. Decorate with mar
row ribbon bow.
If you can get hold of some
cranberries and popcorn you can
string, them alternately on spool
wire or thread them with a needle
and drape across your tree.
Peanuts in the shell, dipped in
bright water color paints, make
pretty chains for the tree. Paint
odd dots and stripes to add va
riety. You can make little peanut
figures with five peanuts sewed
together, two being used for arms,
two for legs, one for face and body
To make a peanut Santa Claus,
paint them with nail polish or red
water colors and paste on cotton
batting beard and paper cornu-
copia for a hat.

There is no plan or intention to

Major Heald said, "in spite of pub
lished statements to that effect. l
telegraphed Ray Hays, adjutant
general of California, and he assur-
ed me there is no intention to abol-
iSh the State Guard until after the
close of the war with Germany and
Japan. Governor Warren also &C.
clared that the California State
Guard performed a necessary func-
ton and will continue to do So
State Guard officers including
Major Heald and Captains John
Kepley and H. K. McClimans have
obtained the help of business and
professional men of Ell Centro, who
will assist in the recruiting cam
palgn. AT least one State Guard
member is sought from each estab-
lishment in town.
There is no possibility of the
State Guard from this county be-
ing called into another county"
Heald said Nor will another county
unit be called to Imperial county.
1t is not probable that FL Centro's
State Guard ever would be called
outside the city because there are
three other units in the county
capable of taking care of problems
if they arise"
He pointed out that the State
Guard could be relied upon in

He also urged that the export
import bank, which underwrites
foreign loans, be overhauled to faci-
litate U. S. government loans to
foreign countries.
Acheson said restrictions in the
Johnson act and export bank
legislation were "a barrier to Amer

ton of international trade" The
johnson act makes for an "unavail-
ability of private capital and thus
increases the demand for govern
