LADY, look, a nice bunch of
fresh Mimosa! Smell of it, it's
real!"
"Sir, don't forget the plas-
tic balloons for the children,
only ., sixpence (12 cents)
Fairy dolls, clockwork mo-
tors; a smashing novelty, a
tortoise that really walks;
Christmas trees, holly, nuts,
oranges, mistletoe! Yes, it was
grand to see the Cockney
street traders out once again
in full force, their barrows and
stalls piled high with a Won
derful selection of fruits, nuts,
flowers and toys. To me, it
has been the nearest approach
to pre-war Christmas that I
have yet experienced. We
should truly thank God that,
in spite of continued conditions
of austerity we are gradually
seeing the return of many COM
modities of which we have
been deprived for years.

daily loadeth us with bene-

To you dear friends in Amer
lea, who, by Gods Grace, have
not been subjected to quite
such severe privations, it may
be difficult to understand how
a simple spray of sweet-smell-
ing Mimosa can bring such
real sense of joy and thank
fulness. In pre-war days this
lovely yellow blossom, as we'll
as many early spring flowers,

ties from the South of France.
It's good to see them again in
the shops and on the street
stalls. Grapes, nuts, dates, Or
anges, tangerines, bananas,
are all fruits which disappear
ed from our stores for years.
Bananas and oranges are not
in plentiful supply (particu-
larly bananas, which are usual
ly sold on the production of a
child's ration book or for elder
ly folk of 70 and over).
In all homes where there are
children, Christmas is Chill
dren's Day. We thank God that
this past Christmas, conditions
have permitted the children to
be better remembered. The
shops have been we'll stocked
with a wide range of toys.
Good quality toys are expens-
i've; but I think most mothers
and fathers were able to fill
their children's socks very sat-
isfactorily from the Wool
worth Stores, if they could not
afford more expensive toys.
The majority of the larger
stores had some sort of attrac-
ton for the children, usually
featuring a Fairy Story or
Nursery Rhymes, and, of
course, Father Christmas was
in attendance to distribute a
gift to each little person. De-
corations were on a more law
ish scale, and wrappings for
presents added to the festive
spirit. The giant Tree in Trafal-
gar Square, beautifully decor
ated and Illuminated - the
gift of the people of Norway,
was a particular attraction this
year.
For the majority of English
people, Christmas is a time of
feasting, and, to some, an ex-
cuse for getting drunk. Whilst
with others it is one of those
rare occasions during the year
when their particular code of
ethics tells them that the COR
rect thing to do is to attend

RETAIL SELLING COURSE

The article in this paper last
week concerning the Retail
Selling Course that will open
in Zion Benton Township
Township High School on
March FL, stimulated greater
interest in this course than was
evident before. Other people
who are not employed in local
businesses but who are inter-
ested in such training have ap-
piled for admission. This in
terest indicates that a second
course following the close of
the first is almost a certainty.
The theme of this Selling
class will be to give the en-
ployee a better understand
ing of the problems of Retail
business in general as we'll as
giving them an opportunity to
make themselves better sales
people through planned discus
sions on good selling person
atty and good selling tech
nique.
AS pointed out previously
this course will be patterned
after that Of a Nationwide
sales organization using slides,
discussions, movies, transcript
tions and charts.

What goes on here?

Referee makes first down or did he really
just miss it, Field judge blocks out the near
est tackler-or was it clipping? IF the officials
call 'em = and play too " what kind of
game is that?
You wouldn't stand for that sort of thing
on football field - but it happens every
day in the electric light and power business.
Government not only regulates the electric
companies - but is in competition with
them at the same time
The catch is that government sets up two
different sets of rules. Government electric
agencies pay little or no interest on Dor
rowed money, and pay no Federal taxes
but electric companies do, and expect to.
When government-int he-power- business
can't make ends meet-it gets handout
of tax money from the u. S. Treasury. Who
foots the bill? American taxpayers

If government can get into the light and
power business this way - it can get into
every other business in just exactly the
same way.
In sixy-odd years, the self-supporting
electric companies have built for America
the most and the best electric service in the
world. While costs of everything else are
way up Including the costs of making
and delivering electricity electric service
is still the best bargain in the American
family's budget it does so much, and
costs SO little.
This is good record for the thousands
of people who work in power companies,
and for the millions of people who invest
savings i'll them.

deserve fair break?

ment money is your money.
