look back in retrospect. I
will confess that in the last
few days, as the poor help
less carols, in all their beau
ty. blared at one from all
directions; as the weary and
harassed faces of shoppers
and clerks floated before one
like ghosts in some thin fog
in which we all moved and
had our being, the tempo
seemed too fast.
But those who came up
from the era when oranges
were a Christmas novelty,
possessing a tropical, magic
aroma and beauty beyond
compare, are, l believe, made
of sturdier stuff. Not once
did I fail to be startled by
those who said, "I'll be glad
when it's over" Once, too,
a somber gentleman took my
lapel and said, demandingly,
WAS 1t for this He died?"
Maybe" seemed the most
appropriate reply. He snorted
and went on his way.
The fact is I simply will
not accept the charge that
all the weary men and
women, and eager-faced chill
dren, were buying gifts just
to make an impression on
someone else.
We Americans are an al
most childishly generous sort
Of people, and at Christmas
a certain madness does take
hold on us. But the chief
reason is that we get pleas
ure from giving, which is
not so bad a sin. 1t is an
American habit, and when
we have coin or credit we
indulge ourselves.

staidness, is a revolutionary

 Sundborg made his charge at the weekly luncheon meeting of the Greater Anchorage Democratic Club. Gruening is seeking re-elec- ton this year.
 The COP Central. Committee members are putting unconscious able pressure on this fellow Ross, said Sundborg.
 Sundborg said this is the same procedure followed by the Repub- heans in l958 when Secretary of State nominee Karl Dewey of Ju- neau Was replaced by Brad Phil lips on the November ticket.
 Pollock, an Anchorage attorney, was narrowly defeated for the Re- publican gubernatorial nomination by Mike Stepovich in last weeks primary election. But he outpolled all gubernatorial candidates. in cluding Gov. Egan and George Eyer in the greater Anchorage area.
 Ross is in Nome today and on hearing of Sundborg's charge said there was nothing to it that sSundborg is desperate and grasp ing at straWs."

Medical Team Says Cigarette Smoke Can Cause Cancer

CHICAGO lP = A team of med ical researchers say tests have de monstrated tobacco drawn through filter tipped cigrettes contains a tar substance that can cause skin cancers in mice, but that filtered smoke yielded only one-third the ameunt. of tar in standard ciea- rette smoke.
 They said tumors were induced by every brand of cigarette test ed.
 The report, published today in the journal of the American Medi- cal Assn, said six brands of eiga- rettes, including two filtertip types, were used in the one-year study.
 The research was undertaken to determine if the cancer risk had been eliminated from cigarettes, or reduced by qualifications in re cent years.
 There were fewer tumors and a slower onset of tumors among the filtered cigarette group.
 The experimental procedure con- sisted of condensing the smoke from machine-smoke cigarettes to obtain the tar, they explained. The tar was dissolved in a solvent, aeetone, and applied to the shaved skin of the mouse in amounts equi- valent to 8.3 cigarettes a day.
 In recent years, the report stated, .the tobacco companies have introduced many new brands and have modified existing brands of cigarettes.
 ssThe advertisements of some brands imply that these modifi- cations have resulted in lower tar levels in the smoke
 The tobacco industry, however, contends there is no evidence that smoking causes cancer.
 The research team said the inn plications of the study are ssin- direct, but meaningful. The smoke of all six brands of cigarettes proved capable of causing cancer in mice, but the total amount of smoke delivered to the target area from the filtered cigarettes result ed in lowering of the incidence of tumors, they said.
 sThe ideal of course =. would be to stop smoking altogether" ]" they said.

MODERN
MANNERS
Invitation
Refusal
Must Hold

My little friend, Mrs. mex
perienced, is in trouble again.
Trouble she has brought on
herself by a very thoughtless
and all too common breach
Of good manners.
She recently received an
invitation to a luncheon.
After thinking it over, and
deciding that it would be bor-
ing, she declined. The day
before the luncheon, when
talking with some friends,
she found that instead of the
boring affair she thought it
was going to be. some rather
interesting and prominent
people were going to be pres
ent and that 1t was to be a
rather gala affair.
So. Mrs. inexperienced
went to the telephone and
called the hostess. After
chatting gaily for a few mo-
ments, she came to the point
Of her call, informing the
hostess that after reconsid-
ering and rearranging her
schedule, she found she
would be able to come to the
luncheon after all.
When telling me this little
story. Mrs. inexperienced said
she was rather hurt at the
hostess reaction. She told
her to come but wasn't par
ticularly gracious about it.
This finally made Mrs. In
experienced feel that perhaps
she had done the wrong thing.
I completely agreed with her
that she had! 1t is extremely
rude and thoughtless to place
a hostess in this position.
Without doubt, at that late
date, her table was all ar
ranged. The adding Of one
more person might mean a
complete revision of plans.
Maybe a larger table would
be necessary.
The courteous person will
never turn-about-face after
refusing an invitation. Par
ticularly If it is for a luncheon
or dinner. Regardless of the
affair, however, the safest
course to pursue is to stick to
mo" if you have said mo"
regardless of circumstances
which might arise afterwards.
With regard to another way
Of putting a hostess on the
spot: Here's a NOT so
GENTLE REMINDER:
The aftermath of holiday
parties has left a trail of
thoroughly disguised host
esses, according to letters I
have received. Why? Because
when they issued invitations
to Misunderstanding for the
courtesy Of a reply-the great
majority ignored the request.
They either showed up, or
didn't, as the spirit moved
them. This all too prevalent
habit leaves a hostess COM
pletely at sea as to how many
guests to provide for.
Do YOU answer such an
offer of hospitality immedi-
ately? If you don't, you are
being unforgivably thought
less. If you are guilty of this
