Enjoy Christmas by
Carefully Planning
Your Holiday Budget

Enjoy Christmas by observing il
in proper fashion; take part in
Christmas customs, gather with
friends and family and go to
church often during the holiday
season-but don't wake up weeks
later with a Christmas 'hang-
over"
You get Christmas Hangover"
not from making too many trips to
the holiday punchbowl, but from
allowing yourself to spend more
than you r financially able in
playing Santa" to friends and
family.
While it isn't necessarily true,
as many claim, that Christmas
is too commercial" many will al
low themselves each year to be
carried away with the spirit of CIV
ing to the extent that the New
Year greeting from the mailman
is in the form of a huge stack of
unpaid bills.
Right to Give
1t is right that the spirit of CIV
ing should be a part of the Christ
mas observance, but giving should
be within the means to give and it
is the gift itself and not its cost or
value that is most important.
Gifts that you make yourself, in
the kitchen or workshop, are al
ways greatly appreciated for they
r a gift of time and effort, two
Of your most valuable possessions.
Perhaps the best way to avoid
overspending during the holidays
is to plan your Christmas shop
ping program. Begin by making
a list Of those to whom you wish
to give presents. Then study your
handbook or budget to see how
much you can spend. You can then
how much you can
spend for individual gifts without
taxing your savings or putting a
burden on your future income.
1t may take some will power to
stick to a holiday shopping budget,
but you will enjoy a happier holi-
lay and get of to a better start
n the New Year II you avoid the
headaches that come with spend
ne more than you a afford

Tree Should Be Safe
As Well as Pretty

Make sure your Christmas tree
this year is as safe as it is attrac-
tive. The way to do 1t is to keep
the butt Of the tree in water while
it's In the house.
Keeping the tree in water will
help to prevent dryness that may
mean a fire hazard. 1t will also
keep the needles from dropping
so rapidly.
When you select your tree, try
to find out how long 1t has been
cut. 1t will last longer If it has
been cut recently.
Balsam fir makes the best
Christmas tree, but Douglas fir is
nearly as good. Becoming increas-
ingly popular are the pine trees
Scotch, red, white and jack
which hold their needles from two
to four weeks. Spruce trees will
hold their needles only from three
to ten days in the house.

Safe Toys Will Make
Holiday happiest

The toys you give your child
this Christmas can turn his happy
holiday into a time Of needless
tragedy If you do not exercise eau
ton in selecting safe and well con-
structed playthings.
The frequency Of eye accidents
among children show a marked
increase during the holidays, acct
dents caused by BIB guns, bows
and arrows, sharp-pointed toys, or
toys so poorly constructed they fall
apart, leaving jagged edges.
Here r some helpful hints for
toy-buying parents:
/. Be sure the toy is suitable
for the child's age and that he
knows how to use it.
2. Avoid toys with sharp edges.
3. See that the toy is put to-
gether sturdily.
4. Avoid dangerous playthings
such as BIB guns, ~pointed-tip ar
rows and air rif1es-especially for
the smaller fry.

Rear Admiral R. A. TheobuId,
At Pearl Hurbor in 1Q41

Rear Admiral Robert A. Theo.
bald. 70. former commandant
of the First Naval District who
charged in a book that President
Roosevelt invited" the Japa-
nese sneak attack on Pear
Harbor, died last night in Bos-
ton.
Admiral Theooald. who served
as First Naval District com.
mander in 1894. was the
Pacific Fleet Destroyer Com
mander when the japanese
made their bombing attack on
December 7. 194l.
In 1854. Admiral Theobald
published a book. The Final
Secret Of Pearl Harbor," in
which he blamed President
Franklin D. Roosevelt for the
Pearl Harbor disaster.
The admiral's thesis was that
President Roosevelt wanted this
country to get into World War II
against the Axis, but needed an
act OF aggression against Amer
lean territory to stimulate pop
ular support for the war. There
fore. Admiral Theobald argued.
he forced Japan to fight by
