can do a wonderful work-and
that is in teaching the children
the Importance of standing on
their own feet and doing for
themselves. The development
of self-reliance and initiative
cannot start too soon in any
child's life.
We are fortunate that in
most of our communities we
have the Boy Scouts and the
Girl Scouts, the Cub Scouts
!. and the Brownies to supple
ment the training our child
rem receive in school and
church. These organizations
make a great contribution in
teaching young people love and
appreciation for their country
and its institution. We should
help them in their work in
every way possible.
"The Korean war could
have been won by January IL,
1851, and everything since then
has been outrageous" said Mr..
Sokolsky.
Had not General Macarthur
been stopped by the White
House the war would have
been won by that date, we be-
lieve. But President Truman
listened to Britain and France
our Allies and the United Ma
tions.
The result has been a doubl-
ing of American casualties and
untold devastation 10 the
people of war-torn Korea.
American losses in Korea
are more than $4,000 dead,
wounded and missing. The
South Koreans have had 320,-
900 casualties and all other
United Nations forces have Suf-
fered $4,000 casualties-mak-
ing a total of 473,0 for the
United Nations. An estimated
100000 are dead. wounded
or missing for the enemy.
Sad news for thousands of
American homes is the report
by the communists that they
hold only 3,l00 American
prisoners in Korea.
We have 1893 Americans
missing in action-this means
only three chances out Of
eleven for any one prisoner
; to be alive.

10 ELECTRIC CONSUMERS OF ST. cRo1x.

The power division wishes to express its regret for the
current outage which occurred on Friday night, October %.
The cause of this outage was a defective insulator on the
Frederiksted Feeder. Unfortunately this feeder carries cur
rent to approximately 56 of our consumers. 1t was impos-
sible to restore service until this faulty insulator was found
and replaced. To do this on a dark, rainy night on several
miles Of lines presented a problem. Fortunately for all con-
cerned, one Of our good island families near Big Princess
had notcedisparking on a nearby pole and called in to the
plant, thus Fastening our repairs greatly.
us of anything unusual that can help us to give you better,
uninterrupted electric service.
We are formulating plans to redesign our distribution
system so that trouble on one line will not affect such a great
proportion of the island. This will take some time, but you
can be assured it will be done.

''We begin Christmas nine

memorate the journey of the
Virgin Mary and Joseph to Beth
lehem," says 15-year-old Mar
garita Sierra, whose father,
Senor Don Justo Sierra, is first
secretary at the embassy of
Mexico. (By the way, Margarita
will be 16 New Years DayD "All
of those nine days we have par
ties and the last night we have
a huge dance. At the dance we
have a pinata "a bird-shaped pa
pier mache bag filled with gifts)
and we hit it with long sticks to
break it and get the presents. !"
They don't get Christmas pres
ents on December 25, though.

great feast on January 6, when
the Three Kings came to the

Christmas in England when the
masters of the houses give the

servants, boxes filled with fruits.

gifts, says Margaret Mackay,
daughter of Mr.. A. Mackay,
counselor at the embassy OF
Great Britain. "And in the plum
puddings we have silver trinketS
wrapped in tissue paper, and
whoever finds them when they
eat the pudding will have good
luck" Margaret. who is now at
Leland Junior High, went on:
1--WE hang up our stockings, have
Christmas trees, and there is the
custom of caroling, but we do not
decorate the stores or the doors
with wreaths and things"
Santa Claus is called either
st. Nicholas or just plain Santa
Claus, and on Christmas Day
there is always a speech by the
Queen to wish every one a merry
Christmas, and all the British
possessions are joined in to tell
how they celebrate Christmas in
their part of the world. We also
have the famous huge Yule log
which burns all day in an open
fireplace"
Margaret's last comment was
that she was going back to Eng
land in April, and "the only
thing 1 will miss is that in Amer

dents have a lot of nerve with
what they say to their teachers.

more religious in India, there is

"All the churches are deco

ole NUNS at ChriStmaSD," says
Hilda Rag. And every one carols
or chants from 6 in the evening
until 4 in the morning."
There is no shopping in In

presents only to the family men,
bers," Aparna continued.
"All the young boys wear new

much feasting, and we decorate
the house with lanterns" eX-

You would be surprised at the
attractive Christmas decorations
you can make with things from
your kitchen-plus a few sprigs
Of clippings pruned from your
evergreenS.
| Mr.. Harry w. Dengler Of the
University Of Maryland Exten-
sion Service says one Of the
easiest and most fool-proof de-
orative pieces uses as its base an
ordinary dust pan. The dust
pan must have a guard or lip
First, punch q hole in each
top corner of the pan. Thread
with wire. string or ribbon for
hanging purposes.
Next. wad the guard with
tightly crumpled newspaper. Use
sprigs of evergreen from 8 to Is
inches long, and arrange them
tastefully. inserting the twigs
behind the paper. Most green's
will do. A sprig or two Of color
full berries adds glamour.
Cover the guard with q strip
of aluminium foil and attach a
perky bow to the handle. Now
your decoration is ready for
hanging.
For a Christmas decoration
that's different and bound to
cause comment, make . cluster
of hanging bells from your kitch-
en- tunnels.
Mr.. Dengler gives directions
for this eaSy-to-make decora-
ton.
Cover your set Of graduated
kitchen tunnels with aluminium
foil-shaping them in the form
of bells. For clappers. cover ap-
propriate size measuring spoons
with foil. Fasten the clappers to
the tunnels with ribbon or wire.
Hang the bells from your door
way or ceiling with a red bow
and a few pieces Of greenery
worked into the arrangement.
Hang Christmas green's from
a wooden hanger. Look in your
closet for an ordinary wooden
coat hanger. It makes q per-
feet base for q Christmas decora-
ton that you'll want to hang
over a door or from q window
sill.
Fasten two matching sprays
of evergreens to the hanger with
the butt ends attached securely
at the handle. Hide the ends and
hanger hook by attaching q gay
bow of ribbon. You can add color
to this decoration by hanging a
cluster of pretty pine cones.
Christmas balls or bells from the
center.
You'll find that the handle
twists nicely for hooking over
cross pieces of windows. This
makes an especially nice deco
ration for church windows since
it is easy to make uniformly.

Why Grow Old?
Must Work
AT Exercises
For Results
By Josephine Lowmon

Men and women have eternal
ly longed for success with the
least possible effort. Surely many
of the failures in beauty, success
and health, can be directly traced
to this very human characteris-
tic. Too often we fail to recog-
nize the price of success and tc
invest the necessary amount OF
faithfulness and energy, thought
and determination, to get what
we want.
We women would like to keer
our figures without diet or exer-
else, to keep a smooth skin with
out daily fabrication. to slump
all day and still have a lovely
carriage. It just does not work
that way!
However, today is an excitingly
hopeful time for the woman who
really wishes to delay aging and
is willing to work at it. Today
we know so much about nutrition
and hair and skin care, weight
control and figure-molding exer-
cises, hair styling and makeup,
that any woman can be attrac-
tive who really wants to be!
However, we are all terribly
busy in these days and, therefore,
an exercise which kills two figure
defects with one exercise is at a
premium. Today am going to
give you one.
Stand with your back to the
wall and your feet a little away
from the wall. Raise your arms
bending the elbows so that your
lower arms are at right angles to
your upper arms. Make your en-
tire back touch the wall and press
your arms and the back of your
hands to the wall, knees stiff
Hold this position until you fee
tired. Keep your knees stiff as
you bend forward, trying to
touch your fingers to the floor
Raise the trunk and assume the
beginning position. Repeat sew
eral times.
This exercise is corrective tC

and is waist slimming.
