Is Staff Writer
In "Your Life"
SPRINGFIELD - Two James in

SPRINGFIELD - Two James in
one office are too many.
At least that's the opinion of
Ralph Edwards, producer of the
This Is Your Life" television
show-so Jane Runyon, a 1888
Wittenberg College graduate,
changed her first name to Jan.
So Jan Boehme is the name
which appears in the credit lines
at the conclusion of each produc-
ton of This Is Your Life"
Jan, the wife of screen writer
David Miller, has been writing and
doing research work for This Is
Your Life" since 1852,
She prepared the scripts for the
programs on Gen. Mark Clark and
Civ. Joe FoSs of South Dakota.
Because all subjects are living,
not too much work has to be done
in Libraries.
For example, if we are doing
a war story" says Jan, I'VE al
ways check our facts through the
Army, Navy or Air Corps in Wash
ington, D. c."
And there is so much long dis
tance telephoning in connection
with the job that Jan says, II
sometimes feel that my ear is
growing a telephone. We call all
over the world and for one pro-
gram it was necessary to call Aus
tralia, Bolivia, South Africa and
Europe"
JAMS mother, Mrs. Bruce Run
yon, lives at 124 E. McCreight Ave.
in Springfield
While a student at Wittenberg,
Jan was a member of Gamma Phi
Beta Sorority and was active in
dramatics.

Railroad Employees
 Make Christmas Brighter at Mission

Costume jewelry made Christ mas brighter last year for the girls at St. Mary's Mission on the lower Yukon River. The earrings, beads and pins had been collect ed by women employed at The Alaska Railroad.
 This year, the women decided to hold a jewelry bazaar and use the proceeds to buy Christmas gifts for the 176 children at St. Mary's. This project netted $131 in sales and $32 in cash dona- tions. In addition, many toys were donated, including dolls which were dressed by the wo- men, and stuffed toys that had been cleaned in washing mach ines.
 When Anchorage business men heard of the railroad project for the Mission, they made further donations which included Is pounds of popcorn, 35 pounds of candy, g pounds of raisins, 25 pounds of nuts, two cases of fruit cake, tins of luncheon ham, tur- keys, and cutlery.
 The Alaska Airlines flew IT boxes totaling approximately 500 pounds down the Yukon without

Beautiful Poinsettia Needs Special Care

The poinsettia, with it's bright red flowers and green foliage, will survive if cared for properly
 If you have recently purchased a poinsettia, chances are it was greenhouse grown, So try to pro vide conditions as nearly as pos sible like those in the greenhouse. A uniform temperature of 6075 de- grees F. is best. Place the plant in bright light near sunny win dow but remove it at night to pre- vent chilling. Water it enough to keep the soil moderately moist but not water-logged.
 Cool and Dry
 If you intend to keep the poin- settia for another year, gradually withhold water and store it in cool, dry place after it has stopped blooming. In April or May, prune it down to six inches, and repot it in a good potting mixture with proper drainage.
 Return it to bright light to renew it's growth. You can put it out in the garden when the temperature remains above 50 degrees F. An area partly shaded from the mid day sun is most desirable.
 You can keep the poinsettia short by Dinching it in summer. but do not prune the same shoot more than once because small flowers will result.
 As cool w ther approaches, move the plant indoors to an airy and sunny location, preferably near south window. The poinset- tia is a short-day plant and must not be exposed to artificial light because it will delay or prevent Towering

Christmas Tree Care Halls Fire Hazards

You wouldn't build fire on the living room floor. but an improp eTiy cora c d Christmas tree amounts to the same thing. Don't invite Santa to come to your house on fire engine; follow these pre- cautions in Christmas tree lighting aasd decorating:
 Choose small tree, rather than large one.
 Store the tree outdoors until a day or two before Christmas.
 When the tree is brought into the house. stand it in water and set it in cool part of the house, away from radiators. heaters and fire places. Don't allow it to block an exit.
 Check Carefully
 Be sure every lighting set and electric cord you use is in good condition no worn or frayed wires, no loose sockets
 When you buy new sets or cords, look for the approved Underwrit- CTS Label. The ones that bear it have passed tests for fire and shock hazards
 Provide a switch some distance from the tree for turning tree lights on and off.
 Ornaments should be made of fireproof materials, metal or glass. Never set up electric trains un- der the tree.
 Don't let gift wrappings pile up under the tree.
 Don't leave tree lights burning when no one is home.
 From time to time, check nee dies near the lights to see if they have started to turn brown.
 When needles start to fall, take the tree down and discard it out doors.
The frontiersman., 1957-12-20
MAKING SNOW

Grandmother way of making snow for evergreen branches is still good and economical way to dress up holiday decorations.
 Use plenty of soap chips or flakes in little water. Beat lightly with wire mesh spoon just long enough to get a nice, thick foam and smear on the needles and stems Allow to dry and you have a beau tiful winter woodland scene.
