IN YEARS PAST in the newspaper
business occasion has often arisen
wherein we were called upon to sup
ply a statement or turn a pretty"
phrase for the city's mayor too busy
or too lazy to do it himself, but in
Button, it appears His Honor can
turn out his own pretty phrases, and
we are happy to borrow with permits
sion the following from Mayor w. A.
Howe, who wrote it for the last issue
of the Lions Jungle News.
Under the heading, "The Meaning
of Christmas" the following editorial
was written for Bluffton Lions:
christmas means a small coin
in the hand of an eager child buy
ing something for 'mommie."

WHEAT PRODUCTION in 1862
was second largest U. S. crop on
record, estimated on October 1 at
1929 million bushels. The crop is 81
million bushels higher than in 1851,
and second to the large production in
1947.

day =. there was Santa in plas-

and bolts to the bottom of the
fish bowl, and all about him bob
bled what appeared to be large
snowballs. Actually the effect
was achieved with half a dozen
moth balls dropped into a solu-
ton of citric acid and bicarbon-
ate of soda.
We're not chemist enough to fig
ure it out, but it appeared that the
soda must release sufficient air bub-
bles which, attaching themselves to
the mothballs, brought them to the
surface. At the top the air was re-
leased and kerplop, down went the
mothball to rise again.
The mothballs bobbed up and
down all day Saturday, but we noted,
passing the window on Sunday they
had come to rest again at the bottom
of the bowl. Tuffy will probably have
to replenish his solution. For the ex-
act formula, see Mr.. Swank.

ONE GIFT we know of is GO
ing to mark this as an important
Christmas for a certain young
lady. We can't mention names
since it might give it all away,
but some Button girl it going
to find under her Christmas tree
a little solid walnut jewel box
embellished with inlay work of
of maple :. all handmade by her
own great grandfather some Is
Christmases ago.
The jewel box, made from wood
from the cabinet of an ancient organ
was fashioned 25 years ago for an
other little girl. 1t has long been a
treasured keepsake, and now it is
time, the owner believes, to pass it
along to another generation.
Such are the thoughtful gifts that
make Christmas the most important
of all our holidays.

SaItonstaII Mentioned
With KnowIand for
Senate Leadership
Eisenhower Supporter
Predicts Choice Will
Be Between Them
BY the Assoeiated Press

A Republican Senator predicted
yesterday the choice for Senate
majority leader in the 83d Con-
gress would be between Senators
Saltonstall, Of Massachusetts,, and
Knowland. OF California.
This Senator, who did not want
his name used, was a strong
hacker of Gen. Eisenhower for
the G. o. p. presidential nomina-
ton. He indicated either Senator
Saltonstall or Senator Knowland
would be highly acceptable to him
and others who backed Gen. Ell
senhower. Senator Saltonstall
who was an Eisenhower booster
before the party's national con-
vention, was the Republican whip
lin the last Senate, post COM
parable to assistant leader.
Senator Knowland was not
aligned with either the Senate
bloc which favored Eisenhower OF
the larger Senate group which
backed Senator Taft.
The Californian supported his
States Governor, Earl Warren, al
the Chicago convention. After
General Eisenhower won, Senator
Knowland threw himself into the
campaign and travelled with the
general on some Of his tours.
Taft Not Interested.
Senator Bridges, New Hamp-
shire, was Republican leader in the
1852 Senate session. But he Is
expected to become president Pre-
tenn in January and also take ovel
the craftsmanship of the Appro.
priations Committee.
Senator Taft probably could
have the leadership with little
trouble if he wanted it. But he is
believed to prefer to continue as
chairman of the Republican Sen
ate Policy Committee.
The Republicans hope to work
out the majority leadership and
all of their other Senate organiza-
ton problems, including the COM
mittee chairmanships, at confer
ences in December.
Democrats in Post Beaten
The majority leadership has
been a jinx to its last two Demo
cratic holders and that could in.
fluence the decisions Of Republi.
cans possibilities for the post.
Scott Lucas of Illinois was beat
en- in 1850 after holding the jot
two years. He was succeeded BY
Ernest w. Mcfarland of Arizonis
who in turn lost in the election
this year.
| Senator Saltonstall must rur
two years hence, in 1854. and must
keep in mind that his G. o. p
colleague, Henry Cabot Lodge, jr.
was unseated in the 1852 election
Senator Knowland, on the othel
hand, need not stand for re-elec'
tion until 1858.
