CHILD PROBLEM?
MRS. j. S., YienndI

Has any one found ways of
getting green and yellow vege-
tables into a suddenly balky
2-year-old? My little boy never
refused bite of anything I
offered for the first 20 months
OF his life, but for the past 2
or 3 months has steadfastly re-
fused vegetables in any form.
He's been quite healthy up until
now, but lately has been a bit
run down, although he weighs
81 pounds. unable to throw off
lingering cold. He eats mod
crate amounts of eggs, meat,
cheese, raw fruit and milk. but
I feel he should have at least
a few servings of vegetables a
week. I'll be watching anxiously-
for suggestions.

PLANT INFORMATION?
IL M d.. WASHINGTON

I am writing this in the hope
that some one with a lot OF
know-how about plants can
assist me. Last year I got a
beautiful plant called kalanchoe
at Thanksgiving time. 1t had
thick leaves and was covered
with hundreds of little red
flowers and it bloomed all winter
and even into April. When the
hot weather came it died. Now
I have another one and would
like to know how to care for it,
especially when it stops bloom
ing and during the summer.
Does any one know about a
plant of the geranium family
with very fragrant, sweet-smell-
ing leaves? 1t resembles the
wild geranium more than the
common cultured variety and
has small violet flowers. It
grows quite large in a pot and
has very beautifully shaped
leaves. I have seen this plant
in homes in Europe but never
here. would like to have one.
both because it is a pretty plant
to look at and because of its
delicate perfume, but I do not
know if it can be obtained here.
Any information will be greatly
appreciated.

USE OF OLD STOCKINGS.


For several years I saved my
old stockings and recently made
them into rug, cushion covers
and slips for backs of chairs.
First procure long-norn knit
ting needles. The strips cut
from the stockings knit better
than they crochet. My needles
will hold SIS stitches. This is
wide enough for small rug or
cushion top. II the worker
wishes, she can make strips of
Is or Is stitches and thus make
her rug as wide as she wishes by
sewing the finished strips to-
gether. Incidentally. bathroom
rugs can be knit Of cotton ma
terial. In preparing the stock
ings, If there are too many dark
ones. dip some in a bleach to
make the colors lighter. Do not
dye the stockings before they
are knit. If the tops are heav-
Ter, cut a little smaller, also
use the tops and toes If cotton.
Tie the strips together in COM
pact knots. This. with the
heavier tops and feet, give the
effect when knitted of a hubby
cloth. much sought after in art
material. Do not cut strips too
narrow.
If rug is being mace, get
ball of Irvine "a colored ball is
effectively and knit it in with
the strips, that is, a cord and
strip together. This gives body
to the finished rug.
If the knitted stockings are
to be used as cushion covers.
use yarn instead of cord. Yarn
is softer. yet gives strength to
the finished article. A good
way to use old sweater or SOCK
yarn.
When the article is finished,
dye it any colored desired. The
different colored stripes made
by different shades of the stock
ings will make q nice soft hit
and-miss pattern. For example,
a package of red dye mixed
with an orange or yellow makes
the rug a soft copner color.

NOTES

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 6 R-Better
management of the national debt
is necessary to halt initiation, Ew-
ing T. Boles, newly elected presi-
dent of the Investment Bankers
Association, said in a statement
here.
Boles, president of the Ohio
Company of Columbus, was in4
stalled as head ,oftthe associations
at its fist annual convention which
ended here Friday.
He commended the agreement
between the federal reserve sys-
TEN and the treasury whereby
government bond prices were per.
mitted to find their own levels.
1.-The association commends the
federal reserve system for the OBJ
jective manner in which ii carried
out its responsibilities during the
last 20 months" Boles said. 1.-THE
restoration of orthodox credit poll
cies has been successful in arrest
ing monetization of the debt and
further danger expansion of cred
it."
However, he asserted, debt
management policies of the post
war period have failed to take
into account the need for obtaining
a properly balanced debt struc-
ture."
He pointed out that at the end
of this year, S57 billion of the
marketable debt win have a ma
turity of less than one year and
$38 billion viii mature within five
years.
In addition to these actual ma
turtles, approximately s6s billion
of non.marketable debt is payable
on demand.

ISOLATION repeatedly has recon-
mended to the treasury that steps
be taken looking toward the fund
ing of a proper proportion Of the

so long as we face at least
some danger of further initiation
and the need for deficit financing,
it would seem prudent to place as
much Of the debt as possible out
side the banking system. The pres
ent unwieldly floating and redeem

sents a problem, but I believe
that progress can and win be made
during the coming year toward

CHRISTMAS QUESTIONED


Editor, The Citizen
Recently in the Forum a certain
writer tried to connect Christmas
with Christ. This reader had this to
say in part, 'Put Christ back in
Christmas" / wonder where did
this writer get such misleading
information from, certainly not
from the Bible! / say that this ar
ticle is misleading insofar as the
scriptures do not back the state
ments made by this writer, mis-
leading too, because after a week,
poor teen-ager writes in and
praises the contents of this article.
The teen-ager could be excused be-
cause it is obvious that she lacks
spiritual food, but the writer of
that article should have given
some though OF the matter, again
l say, the writer has no Bible back

While it is true that the Bible does
not give us the date of Jesus birth,
it does give us enough. information
that by careful study we can
determine the approximate date.
Luke 3:2l gives an account as to
where and where Jesus was bap-
tized at. Luke 1928 ii states at what
age Jesus was baptized, "And Jesus
himself begin to be about thirty
years of age, }" further the Gospel OF
John also gives us an account of
Jesus ministry, such ministry ex-
tended for a period of three years
and six months after his baptism.
AT the end of this period Jesus
Ministry the scriptures state that
he met his death, Matthew'S ac-
count further informs US as to sea-
son that Jesus did meet his death

This Passover feast II viii be well

the month of Nissan. or as we know
it today, the month oil April. Jesus

Soviet Press
Scores Graft
In ALI Russia
BY WILLIAM [. RYAN
APP Foreign News Analysf
rhine wave or purge?

OTlLuG wave OF purge!
If what the Soviet press saws
about its Communist officials in
industry and trade is true, graft,
embezzlement and corruption exist
on a monumental scale in the
USSR today. High-ranking Commu-
niSts are up to their ears in the
public trough. They're throwing a
monkey-wrench into, the Soviet
system.
1t seems likely the corruption af-
fects every Soviet republic and
every organization, including the
secret police.
But the announced cleanup-dic-
tated by Georgi M, Malenkov at
the 18th All-Union Party Congress
in October-has other aspects, too.
The scent of a broad purge of
party ranks is ineScapable. 1t
seems particularly likely in the
Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan,
Kazakhastan and other Southern
areas of the USSR.
The Dec. / edition of Pravda,
which just reached this country,
strengthens the impression the cur
rent Kremlin campaign to clean
up the party is aimed both at a
fantastic wave of embezzlement
and at laxity in party ranks.
Across the page are three COL
umns written by v. Samyedov,
secretary of the Azerbaijan party
Central Committee. This tells of
the "sterp punishment" of a num-
Der of party officials in Azerbaijan
(adjacent to Iran) for unacceptable
attitudes toward ''self criticism
and criticism from below" The ar
ticle tells of the expulsion from
party ranks and trial of number
of functionaries on vague charges
concerning 'big mistakes and
criminal anti-state activities"
Party organizations" declares
Pravda, "are obliged to unmask
and punish such leaders," II adds
that the party must always keep
in mind Malenkov's admonition of
equal discipline for all party men,
bers, regardless of position.
There has been wave of re-
ports in the party press of crime,
mostly embezzlement and swind-
ling, in the Soviet Ukraine. Much
of it may be connected with the
never say die UkraiIlian under
ground, which has worried Moscow
ever since the Ukraine was abb
sorbed three decades ago.
The tone of the Soviet press
about crime--and such crime is
nothing new-has taken on a note
of frenzy, The strong political over
tones of the accusations point to
the drive on crime as a handy
weapon to get rid of many party
members now considered danger
Gus to the monolithic character of
the Communist party.
Up to relatively short time ago
the Soviet press rarely printed
crime news. Crime was a state
secret But now--since the October
party congress and its strongly i'm
piled crackdown-the reports come
daily.

Merchants Eye Intensive Ad
Drive For Christmas Trade
Hy SAM DAWSON

NEW YORK R--Merch;n tS with
their eyes on customers Christmas
dollars appear to be setting new
records for volume of newspaper
advertising.
If you feel that next Sundays
paper is unusually heavy, you'll
probably be right. Some metropoli-
tan papers will run extra sections
to take care of the pages on pages
of promotional ad copy that indi-
vidual retailing giants are buying
AS they compete for what they
hope will be the biggest holiday
sales volume ever.
Santa's picture, and the come-on

publisher.
Newsprint, delivered in New
York, is at an all-time high of $126
a ton, compared with $50 before
World War IL.
This has spurred a hunt by
troubled publishers for new sources
of paper. For example: Sugar cane
waste, hardwoods, Oh de-inked
waste paper.
The costly paper has caused
some daiIies to raise the price of
their sheets and many have adj
vanced their advertising rates. But
the higher rates haven't-as yet
stopped the tide of advertising
Even the bid of radio and tele-
vision for the advertisers dollar
hasn't kept the newspapers from
setting new records-an all-time
ad lineage mark was set in 0ctob-
er. Nor has the popularity Of these
rival media Of the air waves halted
the advance of newspaper cirLula-
ton.
The American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association says newspaper
circulation has grown twice as fast
since 1920 as the population of the
United States, and is now at 81
million copies daily, almost doubl :
80 years ago.
The ANPA estimates consump-
ton of newsprint this year will
approach six million tons, and
available supply should top that
slightly.
In some other countries. the
price of newsprint is much higher
