Tokyo already was writing off

The influential Tokyo news
paper Yomiurl Hochi bluntly told
its readers that Okinawa had

YULE TREE LIGHTS
RETURN THIS YEAR
BY VIVIAN BROWN
AP NeWsfeatures Writer

Christmas tree lights have been
hard to find in the last few years.
And, those lovely red, green and
blue lamps that brighten up the
tree have been sadly missed by
mother and dad as well as the
children.
But this year many found a va
riety of colored lamps to help
make your tree sparkle.
And, you can have candles on
your tree without worrying about
a fire extinguisher. The trick is
they are made of glass and have
tiny bubbles waiting Trough them
for very gay effect.
You don't have to limit these
light to the tree. Cheer your
window by hanging holly
wreath with a set of lights placed
in it. This is especially timely.
since predictions are that holly ber-
ries are scarce and may be miss
ing from the leaves this year.

LivesInN.J.
Trenton's Orphans Receive
Gifts Even Though Their
Friend Is Dead
By NEA Service

TRENTON, N. j., Dec. 24.-The
orphaned and disabled children OF
Trenton will receive their chosen
gifts tonight even though their ben
efactor, "Alias Santa Claus" has
passed on.
Friends of Joseph G.. Buch, who
devoted his life to child welfare,
will perpetuate "Alias Santa Claus"
as a memorial to him. This year
as for many years past, Santa
Claus stationery was distributed
weeks before Christmas to the New
Jersey Children's Home Society,
the Union Industrial Home for
Children, st. Michaers Orphanage,
and the Trenton Orthopaedic Hos
pital.
The children never knew who
"Alias Santa Claus" was, until the
death of Buch last summer when
his lifetime secret was disclosed.
Although Buch came around every
year, he was only an anonymous
visitor.
The children spent weeks COM
posing their letters to Santa Claus
this year. They could request
their hearts desire up to limit
of $500.
Workers for "Alias Santa Claus
distribute the letters to persons
who have pledged themselves to
buy whatever the writer asks for.
no matter how unusual. During the
war this was the cause of more
than one headache. This year
PLEDGES say that 81 dolls were
harder to find than any other item.
The gifts are all in. They are
assembled at a Trenton hotel
waiting for Santa to pick them up
tonight and load them on his
trucks.
The children will be waiting.
They have rehearsed several
Christmas carols that they will
sing as they impatiently wait to
see what Santa has brought.
Every year a volunteer from
the Elk's Lodge dresses in q red
and white Santa suit and distrib-
utes the presents. No child ever
knows who cared enough to buy
the very gift he wanted. The chill
dren do not know that the money
for the treat comes from many
states of the Union. They only
know that there is a Santa Claus.
The work this year was carried
on by Mrs. Gertrude Miller Buch,
the widow of 'Alias Santa Claus"
She is assisted by hundreds of
friends who have pledged them
selves to sustain the memorial.
