Yes, this is our Saviour's birthday
and in all of our celebrations we
should never forget it.
Now it is time to get out the old
gray bonnet and hitch old dobbin to
the sleigh, for we are off to grand
mothers for Christmas day. There
will be the turkey with all the trim
mings; baked ham and other meats
too; salads galore, with vegetables
too numerous to mention; and when
it comes time for dessert, well, there
will be about seven kinds of cake to
select from, together with ambrosia,
boiled custard and other desserts.
Such were the Christmas dinners !
remember down on the farm.
How we ate all of that / don't
know, but l do know there were
plenty of groans during the rest of

Class OF Benevola Ev. u. B.
Church Enjoy Fine Program At
Their Annual Party.

The "Glamorous Tomato and Po-
tato Sunday School Class" of the
Benevola Evangelical United Breth-
rem Church, taught by Mrs. Fayette
Stouffer, held its Christmas Party on
Monday evening, December II, in
the Community Hall. Miss Jane

The hall was attractively decorat-
ed for the occasion in the Christmas
motif. Crepe paper streamers were
hung from one side of the hall to the
other, with star on each streamer,
and large bell was placed in the
middle.
A Christmas tree was erected in
the middle of the stage and furni-
ture was conferred around it to rep
resent living room on Christmas
Eve.
A feature of the program, which
was in charge of Miss Mary Baker,
was play entitled, "Santa's Wis

Harshman and Fayette Stouffer.
Miss Baker then read a letter, "a
Girls Wish" written to Santa Claus
by one of the members of the class.
The group then enjoyed the sing
ing of Christmas carols, after which
several games were played. Then
followed the collection and wrap
ping of toys that each member of
the class brought for distribution
among the youngsters in the Nursery
Department. A novel twist was used
which created a lot of fun. After all
the toys were wrapped they were
placed in large box and then the
entire membership of the class lined
up and each one drew a toy from
the box. They then unwrapped the
toys and played with them for a
while, like they were little kids, and
then they were collected again, put
away, and distributed in the Nursery
Department on Sunday morning.
The door prize, a chocolate Santa
Claus, was presented to Mrs. Fay
cite Stouffer.
Refreshments were then served to
the following members and guests:
Mrs. Helen Zarfos, Norva and DON
aid Zarfos, Roger Scott, Donald

Mrs Fayette Stouffer, Belva Sum
mers and Johnny, Harold, Nancy
Lee, Gail, Mary, David and Loretta
Baker, after which everybody enjoy
ed an hour of dancing, with records
provided by Roger Scott, manager
of the hall.
AS the group left the hall and
wendell their way home, it was evil
dent that they had all thoroughly
enjoyed the party.

SHADOW PHOTOGRAPHY
Teens are giving their Christmas
cameras a workout by practicing
shadow photography. Any gro
tesque shadow can be trans
formed into a beautiful black and
white study, with the proper
| lighting and shading. To make
the shadows, try different COM
binations of chairs, tables, other
articles of furniture. Every effect,
from the sublime to the ridicu-
lous, can be achieved. Profile
photography is another Teen IA
vorite, and there is no Teen party
complete without its amateur
photographers alternately darken-
ing and lighting up various cor
ners and popping flash bulbs like
the Fourth of July.

TOO MANY MEN-We may
think we envy Teen girls who live
in towns where mems colleges are
located. We wrongly suppose
there would be no scarcity of
dates. But the Teen girls in such
locations confess to much unhap-
piness and misunderstanding. If
they date the college boys at all
and most do-the high school
boys are always peevish about it,
and make social events miserable
by critical remarks . The girl
who is not popular with high
school boys may not ever rate a
college date because she will
nonetheless carry the general i'm
preston of being "all dated up"
like the other girls, although all
her weekend evenings are spent
"at home" A girl in a college
town also has to be extra careful
Of her reputation. The smallest
excuse makes too good a story,
in towns where gal-news is at a
premium. Boys, as we have al
ways said, are gossipy creatures.
And the more boys, the more
gossip.

in this category. She might look
for special finishes too, such as
the wrinkle-resistant woolens, cot
tons and water-repellant mate
rials.
Dark-toned cottons wearable
now will be excellent for travel and
town wear in hot weather. Sheer
organdie and crisp pique blouses
will give lift to many a spring
and go on into summer also. Pile
cottons, such as corduroy and
velveteen, are suitable in all but
the hottest weather. Wool jersey
in dark and bright colors is very
Wearable. 1t takes the most lus-
cious colors and these are proving
very popular in resort collections.
Designers like to trim 1t with
black velveteen, rhinestone or jet
buttons. The home sewer can do
all this, too, and for spring she can
combine 1t with faille as a nice
fabric contrast.
The woman who sews can plan
a practical wardrobe around q
basic color and include separates
that are wearable most Of the year.
She might start with one or two
blouses, a sleeveless shirt, two
skirts-one slim and the other
f1ared-perhaps a soft dressmaker-
type that will do for bridge at
home or the church social. Eve
ming fashions may be planned as
separates and the shorter length
skirt is one favored by many de-
signers for next spring and sum-
mer.
Sewing aids will lessen work
and give more professional results.
Good investments are pinking
shears and a new gadget that will
be available after the first of the
year-a hemmer that may be at
tached to the sewing machine.
Skirt markers and dress forms
are helpful and, of course, no sew
ing project should be undertaken
unless all the findings" are at
hand.

"RORANGE"-Teen name for

proper amounts. (Note: Don't get
it too thiO. Good with potato
chips or crackers after a dance.
POLKA POUNDIN'-The Polka
is sweeping the Teen world off
it's feet-or. we should say, onto
it's feet, to dance this "git-up-

who never had the nerve to
dance a straight dance number
will tear out into a polka with
out a moments hesitation. The
favorite winter Teen party is a
Polka Pound" but it takes lots
of space. A school gym or lodge
hall is best, provided the num-
ber allowed. is limited. A crowd
will ruin a Polka Pound in no
time. Some Teens like to Polka
in stocking feet, so be sure the
floor is swept.
When each couple comes in,
give them polka dotted stiff rib
bon or paper bows, stamped with
their initials, to tie around their
necks, the louder colored paper
or cloth the better. When a boy
"cuts in" he has to switch neck
bows with the girls dance part
ner. The girls retain their own
bows, but the problem is to get
her beau" back, for he can't
dance with her again until he is
wearing his original ..'bow." He
has to keep cutting" all over the
place to catch the eventual guy
who happens to be wearing his
tie. This makes for a good and
merry mix-up and everybody gets

SKI FOOTAGE Assembling
ski equipment is a mighty prob
lem. for it isn't simply the light
weight, warm, windbreaker ski
suit which is needed, but skis
themselves, ski harness, boots,
poles. Boots have to fit fairly
snug but must be able to accom-
modate a heavy pair of wool
socks. If one is still a growing"
Teen, the boots may be bought
large enough for two seasons and
padded out with two pairs of wool
socks. Unless you're an expert,
your skis may be suitable in any
one of a dozen different woods or
metals: But one ski instructor
says that Teens. unless they're
ski stars, should not try using the
very light weight skis, such as
aluminium. They're built strictly
for speed.

Soviet Expected to Warm Up Cold War
TroubIous Trieste
Bosis for Another
Eost-West Dispute

The newest East-West flareup
in the long-standing Italian
Yugoslav territorial dispute over
Trieste finds the United States
at disadvantage in dealing with
Russia.
Diplomatic sources believe Mos
COW launched a new offensive in
the cold war when it charged 10
days ago that the United States,
Great Britain and France were
violating the Italian peace treaty
by keeping troops in this strategic
territory, and that the Allies are
turning the Adriatic port of Tri-
este into a military base.
Russia held the weaker hand
two years ago when the Trieste
issue became acute. Since then
Tito has broken with the Krem-
lin, and the United States now
must make no move that would
complicate efforts to win Yugo-
slavia over to the West. Then,
too, our support of Yugoslavia on
the Trieste question would alien
ate Italy, our formal Ally, and
weaken her anti-Communist gov
ernment. Russia would gain
either way.
The Italian peace treaty con-
stituted Trieste and a small him
terland a free territory under
United Nations jurisdiction. Pend
