On the economic front.
United States Undersecretary
Of State Douglas Dillon wound
up five days of economic talks
in London, Brussels, Bonn and
Paris.
He was pictured as certain
that a trade war can be
avoided between Europe's rival
blocks. Mr.. Dillon's main con-
Germ was to protect United
States trade from competition
between the six-nation COM
mon market and the seven
nation European free trade
area.
A highly placed informant
said Mr.. Dillon found both
sides eager to avoid a COM
mercial battle that could have
political repercussions within
the Atlantic alliance.
Mr.. Dillon also was reported
to have won a promise from
West Germany for immediate
payment of 800 million marks
$3.50 million) on its postwar
debt. This was aimed at help
ing to ease the deficit in the
United States balance of pay

Mr.. Eisenhower recalled that
in his boyhood ancient Persia

romance for a high school boy
who lived on the plains of
Kansas"
An estimated 100000 Irani-
ans lined the 4-mile highway
and the city streets along
which the President and the
Shah drove from the airport
to the royal palace. Legions
of welcoming banners lettered
in Farsi, the Iranian language,

added color to the scene.
The procession drove beneath

The President received a
standing ovation from Parlia-

him only once, however-when
he recalled how Iran. with

in putting down a Soviet

Mr.. Eisenhower never men,
toned Russia by name. but it
was clear he had the Soviets in
mind when he repeatedly
praised Trans bravery.
AS he has done earlier in his
visits to Italy, Turkey, PAX
istan, Afghanistan and India,
Mr.. Eisenhower also:
l. Called for global war
against the natural enemies of
mankind - hunger. privation
and disease. He warned that
peace will not be secure until
nations meet the aspirations Of
their people for a better life.
2. Urged realistic begin

3. Reaff1rmed that the pur-
pose of his unprecedented tour
of three continents is to carry
a simple message to all: Peace

Selection Of Proper
Toys Important

There is no hard and fast rule
by which one can tell the exact
toy for a certain age child, but
some toys are better than others
for children at different ages.
Also, the toys you select can turn
a happy holiday into a time of
needless tragedy if you do not
exercise caution in your selec-
ton.
Sharp toys or poorly construct
ed toys are the ones that cause
the most accidents. Avoid them.
Generally children from infan-
cy to two years like bright-col-
ored. lightweight toys of various
textures. They should be wash
able, too big to swallow, and free
from rough edges.
Toddlers from two to four years
want push and pull toys. Trucks
and cars big enough to straddle
and push, wagons. wheelbarrows,
small doll carriages, peg-boards
and pounding sets are also good
for this age group.
! Take your time in the selection
Of toys for children of all ages
and it will make for a happier,
healthier and safer holiday.

Who Rea||ySent
That Very First
Christmas Card!

What is generally conceded to
be the first card specifically de-
signed as a Christmas greeting
the card designed in England by
j. Horsley for Sir Henry Cole lin
1843)-did not meet with an en-
thusiastic reception. Sent to his
personal friends, Coles card had
side panels which depicted the
feeding of the hungry and the
clothing of the naked. This was
well and good. The objections to
the card arose from the illustra-
ton in the central pamela scene
in which a middle-clasS English
family raised their wine glasses
to toast an absent friend obvious
ly the recipient of the card). The
scene so aroused temperance yea
lots that Cole never authored an
other card.
Still Looking
Actually the search for the
first" Christmas card is still 60
ing on. Although it bore no spe-
cifc greeting, the New York His
torical Society, some 30 years be-
fore the Horsley-Cole card, sent
to members and friends of the
society a woodcut of st. Nicholas,
which bore a Christmas poem in
both Dutch and English.
In 1882. Carl W. Drepperd dis
covered in a Pennsylvania attic a
"broadsheet" issued about 1912 by
John M. Wolff, Philadelphia print
er. The sheet, 10 inches by Is
inches, featured reproduction of
c. c. Moore's The Visit of ST.
Nicholas and as well carried the
greeting, "A Merry Christmas
and A Happy New Year"
The first commercial venture
into the Christmas card business
was made in 1868 when an Eng
lish firm hired Punch cartoonist
c. H. Bennett to illustrate a Sc
ries Of cards which were sold in
that year as Christmas compli-
mentary stationery"

Christmas Holiday
Was Once Forbidde EN-

Christmas has not always been
a legal holiday in this country.
In 1859, the general court of Mas
sachusetts Bay colony passed this
resolution:
whatsoever shall be found OBJ
serving any such day as Christ
mas or the like, either by fore
bearing labor, feasting. or any
other way, as festival, shall be
fined five shillings."
The first legal observance in
this country is believed to have
taken place in Boston in 1886 when
Governor Andres conducted serv-
ices in the town hall. And it was
still many years later, in 1856.
that the State of Massa chusetts
officially passed laws which per-
mitted the observance of Christ
mas.

YULE CUSTOMS

In scandinavian families,
all shoes are placed together
on Christmas day-in the be-
lief that this will cause har-
monious living through the
coming year. In Ireland, 1t is
traditional that only a woman
named Mary snuff the candles
on Christmas Eve. In some
countries, such as Nova SEQ
tia, 1t is believed that bad luck
will come if the Christmas
tree is taken down before the
end of New Years Day.

Outdoor Decorations
Are Very Popular

Decorating outdoor trees and
shrubbery with brightly-colored
lights is becoming more and more
an American tradition, but while
outdoor lighting is attractive and
colorful, it is also dangerous and
may cause damage to trees and
greenery.
Bulbs of Is wattage are suffici-
ent for use in outdoor lighting ar
rangements. Electrical fixtures
should be of the weatherproof va
riety. specially designed for out
door use. and the lights should
always be placed so that they do
not touch the needles.
Spruce, pines and frs, if they
are not too large, are ideal for
outdoor Yuletide lighting Displays,
although other varieties such as
hemlock, yew, lockwood and abor-
vitae are more sensitive to heat
and easily scorched if caution is
not used.
