Less Convenient
But More Safe

ONE RULE frequently given for con-
venience and safety in hOusework is:
Keep supplies and equipment within
easy reach and sight of where used.
But the us. Department of Agriculture
suggests making some exceptions to
this rule when there are young children
in the family Then the safety of the
children calls for storing many items
out of their reach, even if this means
less convenience for mothers for
few years. A high shelf thus may be a
safe shelf
Accidents now are among the leading
causes of deaths and i Injury &c children
under five years of age. Many that oc-
cur in homes are the result of poisoning
from the various chemical substances
kept on hand for such household jobs
as cleaning, for example. Often these
substances are so familiar that their
possible harm to young children does
not occur to homemakers until after
the accident.
The American Medical Association
recently commented on some of the
leading causes of fatalities to young
children from accidental poisoning. AS
might be expected, medicines left with
in the chiId's reach ranked high, among
them familiar preparations used for the
relief of pain. Other great hazards
include such common items as
bleaches, lighter fluid, cleaning fluid,
insect sprays. rat poisons, permanent
wave solutions, shampoos, nail polish
remover, antifreeze, detergents, furni-
ture poIishes, ammonia and kerosene.
An especially hazardous home practice
mentioned is keeping kerosene in soft
drink bottles.
During the early years when children
are exploring and tasting, families may
prevent such accidents by storing items
in cabinets or cupboards that are mac
cessible to children. It may pay to have
some locked cabinets. Rural families
living at distance from doctors and
hospitals should be especially interested
in such arrangements.

Homemaking Tips.
With Typing

MOTHERS TURNING typist these
days, using her portable (the same one
Dad uses for his business letters and
records) to speed through all her house
hold paperwork in minimum of time
Try these efficient homemaking short
cuts:
1. Recipes typed on Sx5 cards and
kept in a convenient file are easier to
read than hand-written scribbles. Paste
a picture of the finished product on the
back of the card to spur you on to
glory when cooking it yourself.
2. Save yourself the chore of hand
Labelling home frozen and canned goods
by using labels that come in rolls and
tipping them all at one time. Typed
labels are easy to read and won't blur
when touched by wet hands.
5. Avoid searching through storage
bags for one particular garment by
keeping a typed list of the contents on
the outside of every container A
master storage list, hung inside the
closet door or at the head of the attic
stairs, speeds up searching even more.
4. Household business letters to
stores, bank or insurance company are
finished sooner and look more bush
ness-like when typed.

table all the special dishes she
has prepared for this great feast.
Here, too, there are traditional
prayers and ceremonies, all cen
tering about the Christ Child.
Going Round With The Star
The star, a universal Christ
mas symbol, has special Signific-
ance in Alaska where a star -shap-
ed wooden frame is covered with
bright tissue paper. Then, for
three days before Christmas, the
people go from door to door sing
ing Christmas carols. They call
this custom, "going round with
the STAR
Candles, too, are a more or less
universal symbol of Christmas.
In Ireland and other lands. a
candle is placed In the window
on Christmas Eve-symbolically,
to light the way for Mary and
Joseph as they seek shelter; act
. ually, to welcome any wayfarer.
In Norway the people carry large
flaming candles to light their
way to church, then stand them
up In the deep snow while they
are attending services, thus pro-
ducing a glowing tableau against

The Real Message
There are many other Christ
mas customs and traditions char
acteristic of this or that particu-
lar country, but the most nearly
universal and certainly most inn
portant symbol is the reproduc-
ton of the Manger. 1t brings to
mind the true significance of the
feast, the real spirit of the sea-
son. While some customs have
died out or are gradually pass
ing from the scene, the Christ
m Crib is becoming more and
more prevalent in homes and
even in public places. And no
wonder! For this we must bear
IN lnind:
There Woald haze been no
! Christmas tUithOst the Manger;
there can be no Christmas with-
oAt Christ.
Once the true message of
Christmas is warmly sheltered
/ within the hearts of men, the pro-
gram of the Prince of Peace
might well become the Spirit Of
Geneva"

when, tradition has it, the horses
and cows talk-she will not dis
turb their conversation.
AS for the Man of the House,
he goes out into the night of
Christmas Eve to see if his trees
are all wrapped properly for the
long winter ahead. He's been
working on the trees for days
and the time to inspect them has
come. IL he finds any tree un-
wrapped on Christmas Eve, then
he can be certain-again accord
ing to tradition that tree will
perish.
Here, too, in Switzerland, we
find the universal Christmas Gus
tom: excessive eating of so many
wonderful delicacies prepared es-
pecially for the occasion.
Matchmaking at Church
Young folk in Switzerland who
are of manageable age have a
tradition all their own. Each one
takes three sips of water from
nine separate fountains. Immedi-
ately after this, they proceed to
the church. The first young per-
SON of the opposite sex whom
they meet on the church steps
will surely be the one they marry
before the year has ended.
And now for another country
which, unlike its ne;ghbor Switz.
erland, has known more of op.
preston than peace in it's long
history. Not even a Communist
controlled government has been
able to stifle the religious faith
of the Polish people-at least
that is the word seeping under
the Iron Curtain. In all probabil'
ity, their Christmas customs and
traditions have become all the
more cherished and are still OBJ
served.
In Poland the Christmas din
ner is never served until the eve

strivings towards peace-world

traditional Christmas customs of
Switzerland-not all of them are
religious, to be sure, but of such
ancient lineage they might well
have had a religious origin lost
sight of with the passing of the
years.

trees are already prepared, wait
ing to be used. Fruits and cook
les adorn the branches and in
the center there is an angel
known as ChriStkindl. Each
family as they come cut to claim
their tree, gathers about and
sings the traditional carols. Then
the tree is taken into the living
room of the house and placed be-
side the fire.
Later, the entire family will sit
about the tree and relive the
beautiful story of the Nativity
through the words of the Gospel,
read aloud by the eldest men,
ber of the family.
After this, there is a kind of
game-playing. Each member of
the family opens the Bible to the
Psalms. The number of the Psalm
TO which they open is supposed
to determine the number of years
they have yet to live.
Homemade Weather Bureau
When the children are safely

realizes that the time has come
for her to set up her ''instru-
ments" to learn the kind of
weather conditions to expect dur

ly, she brings out a large onion
and cuts it crosswise into two
pieces. Then she separates the
cup-like rings. After counting out
twelve of these, she places them
on a shelf and sprinkles a bit of
salt on each. When Christmas
morning arrives, she will be able
to know just how much dampness
they can expect for the ensuing
twelve months-little, none, much
or very much.
The Lady of the House also has
had to remember, long before
this, to place whatever chickens
she will need for the Christmas
dinner a good distance away from

Contribution To
South Africa

JOHANNESBURG (JTA)
There is no such thing as
a Jewish question in South
Africa" former Premier Dan
icl Malan told a Jewish dele
cation which visited him at
his home at StellenbaSch,
near CapetoWn. to present
him with a certificate of his
inscription in the Jewish Ma
tional Funds Golden Book.
DR.. Malan expressed appre-
citation of the contribution of
the Jews to South Africa, de-
claring "It is true that the
Jews are a particular racial
group proud of their origin
and history and determined
to maintain their own integ-
rity. but South Africa is a
multi-racial country and the
Jews are only one racial ele-
ment among several others.
He pointed to the remark
able contributions" of the
Jews to the material welfare
of the country, especially in
the areas of commerce and
industry. He asserted that the
Jew is a powerful influence
for mutual respect and good
will fundamental to the ma
tional unity" of South Atrl-
ca. "His adaptibility," DR.. Ma
Ian continued, makes him a
good national as we'll as a
good Jew, and a good South

Eager To Leave

TEL AVN (JTA) - There
are some 5000 Jews in LodZ,
Poland, and the majority still
want to leave for Israel, an
immigrant from Poland said
here. He was one of a party
of II Jews from Poland.
The immigrants said that
one of the major reasons for
the desire of most Jews to
leave the city, which was a
large Jewish center in pre-
war years, was the continued
presence of n t i-Semitism
among the people. This, he
stressed, was d e spite the
strong campaign by the Po-
lish authorities against anti
SemitiSm.
The 10000 m e m b e r pre-
war JEWS h community of
Czerkassi, in the Ukraine,
has shrunk to 1000 men,
women and children, reports
72-year-old Hirsch PoloWsky,
one of a party, most of them
residents of Czernowitz. Mr..
Polowsky said that only one
synagogue was in use, as
compared with II in the pre-
war period. He added that
the lone rabbi was also the
cantor and shochet. Mr.. Po-
lowsky said that there is still
considerable an t i-Semitism
among the Ukranian people.

opened the 66th annual con-
vention of the Central Con
ference of American Rabbis.
Rabbi Bilgray is attending

In advancing his proposal,
Rabbi Brickner cited similar
moves by many Protestant
denominations" He said, the
Harvard University Theolog-
ical School will now ordain
women, and the General AS
sembly of the Presbyterian
Church just recently broke a
167-year-old tradition by vot-
ing to ordain women as min
lsterS."

his colleagues to give greater
support to the U.N. and plead
