US. Olympic Ski Squad Is Short of Funds

CHICAGO, (P) -. The U. s. Olympic ski squad may be forced to operate shorthanded in the 1852 winter games at Oslo, Nor way, unless additional funds for expenses are forthcoming within a week.
 The projected goal of $5O,000 in funds so far is $29,000, Cort- land T. Hill, of Los Angeles, chairman of the Olympic Ski Committee has reported. ..a.
 He said $21,O0O has been raised to date. The winter games are scheduled for Feb. 14-15.
 'We feel it unwise to enter a team unless skiers can get re- quired training" Hill said. "The only other alternative would be to reduce the size of the team drastically. This may be done if funds are not forthcoming within a week. ....... .
 Originally, the committee plan ned to send a squad of 31 by plane to Europe next month for training. The alpine squad of doWnhill and Slalom stars is slated to leave New York Jan. 2 while special jumpers, cross coun- try and other entries are sched- uled to leave Jan. g.

YOU'RE A VERY LUCKY PERSON
Dayton, Ohio Press)
Why should you gripe?

Without as much as by-year-leave we are going to toss before you few short statistical sentences which anybody who read understand.
 You think your lot is bad? That some other system of government, perhaps, might improve it? That some dictionary definition of isn holds out more to you than the ism which is prefixed by American?
 Hold your hat your dreamer!
 Of necessity we speak in averages, for while we might know how much American worker makes we cannot know what peasant in Communist Russia can call his own after 60 minutes of labor.
 If you want one-pound loaf of bread and live in the US you work six minutes for It. In Canada and Great Britain you would work the six minutes, in France nine minutes, and in Russia, 19 minutes
 For pound of butter you would work 3l minutes in the US. 39 minutes in Canada, 37 minutes in Great Britain 169 minutes in France and 373 minutes in Russia.
 Want quart of milk? Then work eight minutes in the US, nine minutes in Canada 15 minutes Tn Great Britain 20 minutes in France and g minutes in Russia. ... .........
 For a dozen eggs you work 22 minutes in the US. 29 in Canada, 66 in Great Britain, 96 in France and 291 in Russia
 To buy pound of coffee you must trade B min utes of your time in the US 5 minutes in Canada 66 minutes in Britain 159 minutes in France and 694 minutes in Russia.
 To telescope: for your food basket in the S. you work 100 minutes, in Canada, 13O minutes; in Great Britain, ITO minutes; in France 313 minutes, and in that Great Paradise, Russia 769 minuteS (DOnt at tempt to add us for we have left out many items of the bread basket). .
 One conclusion we draw unnistakably from these minor statistics: the farther you from freedom the you pay for life that is worth less to live
 Again: why should you gripe? Rather should you thank the gods that be that you somehow, through the miracle of birth the happenstance of immigration, chance to live in America. You might have been born a Russian!

Santa Claus, 0ndiana,
RecetOed 3an,omJ Name
Christmas GOe, 1882

Although many towns have names
directly or indirectly associated
with Christmas, there is but one
town named Santa Claus, in Indi-
ana.
Except for a lucky break, the
town would have had another name
and hence would not have enjoyed
the annual fame that it gathers
around the Yuletide season.
The original intention to name
the town Santa Fe fell through
when the officials at Washington
suggested that the town be named
something else, since there was al
ready a Sante Fe in New Mexico.
On Christmas Eve, in 1882, the
citizens held a mass meeting to Sc
lect another name, but every one
proposed was discarded for one rea-
son or another. The meeting was
about to break up when Santa
Claus, making his yearly visits in
the neighborhood, strobe into get
warm. He was in costume and his
arrival put one name in every
mind.
And so the town was named
Santa Claus.

idea of attaching decorative stamps
to Christmas packages, the sale
Of which could be conducted by
some worthwhile organization.
He mentioned it to his fellow
workers and they decided it would
be great help in defraying the
cost Of fighting tuberculosis. The
idea reached King Christian, who
approved, and the image of Queen
Louise was placed on the first
seals in 1904.
Jacob RIs, Danish born Ameri-
can, heard about the idea and sold
it to the American public in 1907
through a magazine article written
for Outlook magazine A Red Cross
worker, Miss Emily Bissell, started
the first American sales that year.

DATTI WAS TRYING to forget it
was Christmas. Last Christmas
there had been Jimmy and ring
on her finger. Then there was a
girl named Ann and everything was
over. Patti had packed up and come
to this part of the city to live.
So there were no holly wreaths
or Christmas trees in PATHS Pie
and Bake Shop just off one of the
bustling avenues. There was only
Patti with her brown curls and
mellow brown eyes and the long
rows Of pies and cakes in the
showcases.
People came from all over to buy
PATHS cakes and pies and drink
her coffee. There was the little
old lady who sold magazines on
the corner, who came in every day.
She was the first to come in on
Christmas Day, and she was lug
ging a big wreath of holly and
mistletoe. Hang it in the window,
dearie," she said.
Patti looked at the wreath and
sick pain caught at her heart.
Then there was the telephone
operator who worked in a branch
exchange, and later the little boy
who always stopped by from school.
He had such sad blue eyes it
made PATHS heart ache. Patti
always gave him a huge slice of pie

Xule-dough was composed OF
