COMMUNICATION

Editor of Empire: Many women of the city of Juneau would like to know why the Cooperative Nur- sery located at the Governors Mansion will operate afternoons from l to o'clock when its aim is to help the working mother, Aren't working hours from 8.30 o'clock in the morning to 5 o'clock in the afternoon? Is it really to assist the working mother? Or is it to assist the galavanting mother?

CANTA CLAUS is one Of the most
u precious wonders of childhood,
American mothers overwhelmingly
agree that he should be portrayed
as the spirit of generosity, kindli-
ness, and gift-giving,
Although the modern conception
OF Santa Claus is American. the
Spirit Of Santa Claus is neither
modern nor American. The real
Saint Nicholas lived i'm Asia Minor
and ever since his death in 343
stories concerning him have been
repeated around the firesides Of
Europe.
The children OF Lapland and
northern climates naturally picture
Santa dressed in fur and dashing
through the snow in a reindeer
drawn sleigh. But in central
Europe. st. Nicholas first appeared
, on his liturgical feast day, Decem-
Der 6, and he was n thin, auStere
churchman who rode a mule and
carried gifts for good children and
a bundle of birch rods with which
to switch the naughty.
Under Dutch influence st. Mich
olas lost his solemnity. The Dutch
coloniSts who brought him to Amer
lea were very practical people and
they decided against two gift-giving
days IN the same month. Thus,
Sinter Klass started coming around
only at Christmas time.
Santa Gets n Sleigh.
Eventually, ancient legends were
woven into American Christmas
traditions. Washington Irving sent
st. Nicholas flying through Christ
mas skies in a reindser-drawn sleigh
in 1909; DR.. Clement Moore's poem
"The Night Before Christmas"
written in 1922, gave Santa " &.
a little round belly that shook when
he laughed, like a bowl full of
jelly" and series of drawings in
1868 by Thomas Mast added much
d TO the traditional pictures and ap-
| pearance Of the Santa we see today.
! In every youngsters life there
comes the time when he begins to
suspect that the various be-
whiskered gentlemen, so numerous
during this season, are not exactly
the real Santa Claus. Wise parents
advance the "helper" theory as soon
rs they are asked questions and
teach their children to make the
! Christmas dreams Of less fortunate
tots and their families come true.
Thus, the real Santa Claus isn't
just myth or legend. He is the
J Spirit of Christmas who lives in
! the sparkling eyes of children and
in the hearts of all grown-ups who
/ strive for peace and good will
| among men.

Open House Once
Marked Holiday

Senior members of the family
lament the passing Of the good old
day when New Years calls were
very stylish in America.
Open House on New Years Day
was introduced into this country by
the Dutch who settled in New
Amsterdam and were accustomed
to receive their friends who dropped
in TO offer the compliments Of the
day. Such calls were very informal,
made and received i'm the spirit Of
friendship and sociability; refresh
mentS appropriately consisted of
homemade snacks and centered
around a large bowl of punch, made
according TO the hosts favorite
recipe.
The custom grew with the country
and, eventually, the nation-or the
increasingly populous communities
thereof-outgrew the custom. Dur
ing the latter part Of the nineteenth
century, it was customary for those
who intended to receive their friends
and acquaintances to send at home
notices to the newspapers so that
would-be callers might plan accord
ingly.
The majority of such calls were
made in the spirit of friendship and
sociability which had given impetus
to the custom in the first place.
However, human nature being what
it is, receptions were often crashed
by strangers attracted by the pros
pect of free punch: likewise, hosts
and hostesSes were frequently en-
barrassed by guests who, making
their seventh or eighth call, arrived
in excessively boisterous or mellow
moods.
These abuses contributed to the
abandonment Of the publically an
nounced open house and revival of
the very informal New Years call
exchanged only among intimates
toasting the New Year around
very private bowl of punch.

Mexicans Bury
The Old Clock

To observe the death of the old
year, many Mexican families OBJ
serve the "old clock" on New Years
Eve by placing black box sur
rounded by lighted candles on the
living room table. A small clock is
placed on top of this casket. The
clock lays in state until midnight,
then it is stopped, placed in the
casket and buried in the garden.

Winner of the Pulitzer prize in
1916 for writing, Carter is well
known for his oft-expressed,
straight-from- m-the-shoulder views

uished himself by his fearless cru
sading against dishonesty and DEM
agoguery in public affairs. Carter

ter service in North Africa, Egypt,
and the Near East. For his work in
Army intelligence in Washington,

Maine. Returning to the South, he
taught English for a year at Tu-
lane University in New Orleans.
Then followed a series of jobs on

Young Men Join Regular Army

Young Men Join Regular Army
Harry w. Bodine, 49,, and Ver-
non G. Berghorn, 19, of Clayton,
have enlisted in the Regular Army
for assignment to the Corps of En-
gineers. They have been enlisted
in grade of Recruit and forwarded
to Ft. Knox, Kentucky for Basic
Training. At the completion of
Basic Training, they will be given
leave to visit their homes and
will then join their fellow soldiers
in the Corp of Engineers. Both
men chose the Corp of Engineers
because they intend to learn the
trade of maintainence and repair
of heavy equipment so that they
may return to Clayton to open a
garage for tractor and truck re-
pair. They will learn mechanics on
both Deisel and regular type equip
ment. Sgt. McAnulty, of the Dover

Exit the Iron Horse"

The trend toward Diesel railroad
locomotives, and away from steam
locomotives, goes on apace. Until
a year or so ago the railroads had
consistently been the number-one
customers of the coal industry -
just as the coal industry has been,
and still is, the number-one source
OF freight revenue for the railroads.
But in 1948 the railroads used about
l3 per cent less coal for locomotive
fuel than they did in 1s47, although
the total necesso y railroad motive
power in l948 w almost as great
as in 1s47. The difference was Of
course largely due to increased
dieselization.

Discovery OF q possible method
Of forecasting cancer OF the womb
from one to two years before 1t
develops was disclosed today by a
Canadian doctor.
Cancer Of the womb is one Of
the most frequent Of all malig-
nancies. 1t kills approximately
5000 women annually in the
United States.
DR.. J. Ernest Ayre Of Montreal's
Royal Victoria Hospital and
McGill University said his new
technique has been successful In
forecasting womb cancers In nine
women.
DR.. Ayre said that opens up the
possibility OF tracking the de-
velopment Of such cancers In all
victims and attacking them at the
earliest and most durable stage.
New Cell Il Found.
The technique Is based on DR.
Ayre's discovery Of q new type Of
human cell-one which he says
he and his colleagues believe to
be a forerunner Of an actual can
Ger cell. It has q peculiar nucleus,
or central part. that makes II
different from both a normal cell
and A cancer cell.
1T is our belief" he said. that
this cell entity. while not . cancer
cell. represents the earliest nu-
clear evidence In human cells OF
a trend to cancer.
1T is q signal that cancer VIII
develop there In one 70 two years.
Another one to two years would
pass before the cancer was WIS.,
ualIy or clinically apparent"
DR.. Ayre related his findings ut
a private meeting Of doctors Of the
National Cancer Institute and
later told them TO . reporter.
Name II Suggested.
He said that ut the meeting o
doctor of Greek parentase named
Symeonides had suggested the
name ~nearo-cancer" for such
cells-"nearo" being Greek for
.tne earliest stage"--and Dr.. Ayre
has adopted the term
The Canadian declared that the
cells-scraped from the opening OF
the womb--had nuclei that were
shaped like dumb-bells or
punches Of grapes instead Of being
relatively round and regular as In
normal cells" He also said the
