Doings


tasks, ironing seems to be the jot
most women enjoy the least, ac-
cording to Katie Thomas, K n I
county home demonstration agent
Steam irons and easy care fabrics
have helped but ironing is still con-
sidered a chore.
Mrs. Thomas offers these sug-
gestions tooease your ironing chore.
1. Drip-dry garments should b e
taken from the rinse water without
wringing or spin drying. Hang the
garments on hangers to dry.
2. When an electric dryer is
used, take garments from the dry
err while slightly damp. Over-dry-
ing makes clothing more wrinkled.
3. Use care when hanging ON the
line.
A. Fold when removing from line
and many things will not need
ironing.
S. Dry trousers on pants
stretchers".
You should arrange your ironing
board for convenience. Have dis
titled water and measuring cup
handy for steam iron. Or you may
want a sponge to use in dampening
dry areas if you are not using a
steam iron. Have place to hang
your clothes or table to place
your folded garments on.
"An adjustable ironing board will
make ironing less tiring," says Mrs.
Thomas. "You may do large flat
work while standing but can be
seated for smaller more detailed
work"
Follow these suggestions when
ironing.
Iron only those things that re
quire ironing. Quit ironing before
you reach the tooItired stage. Long,
smooth slower strokes of the iron
do the job with fewer motions than
quick. short strokes. Moisture and
heat rather than extra pressure do
most of the job, so do not wear
yourself out bearing down on the
iron.
Use straight strokes in direction
of fabric grain or thread. Arrange
garment on the board so you get
maximum Qronin1 surface saves
time and may save wrinkles.
Spread clean papers (not news
papers) on the floor to protect
long articles that hang off th e
board.
Begin ironing fabrics that re-
quire lowest temperatures an d
work up ITO those requiring higher
temperatures. Your iron heats fast
er than it cools. Iron white and
light cottons on the right side un-
less they develop shine; iron
dark cottons on the wrong side;
damask first on the wrong, then
on the right side.
Move ironed parts away from
you rather than toward you to pre-
vent wrinkling. Use both hands,
shifting the iron to left hand (if
you are right-handed) rather than
moving yourself aroand end of
board.
With the@narrow end of the iron
ing board to your left (if you are
right-handed) iron small articles
and those that slide over the end
of the board such as skirts and
dresses. For ironing large, flat
pieces or skirts, reverse the posi-
tfon of the board if a yider board
is not available.

Pastor Wrote To Please Children

up on the Housetops" is a happy Christmas song written by an Ohio pastor, Benjamin Hanby, in 1864.
 Believing that music was a part of religion, he held week. ly songfests for children in New Paris, Ohio. Since he was short of money, when the ehil- dren needed a new song, he wrote it himself.
 The song, which tells the joys of going up on the house tops" and down through the chimney with good Saint Nick to the "click, click, click" of reindeer hooves. gained early popularity.
 Its origin, however, was lost when the Chicago publishing house of George F. Root, pub fishers of the song, burned. Credit for the authorship was not restored until after Han by's death.

TheYe Was Talk Absui YuIe Toast

We sent the first Christ mas card?" is a question fol which, it seems likely, a con- pletely accurate and satisfac- tory answer may never be found. Probably, the earliest cards were ''do-it-yourself projects-handwritten holiday greetings on hand-decorated notepaper.
 Popular claimant for first Christmas card honors is the Cole-Horsely card, designed in Britain in 1843 by John Cal colt Horsely, an artist, for Sir Henry Cole, director of the Vic toria and Albert Museum.
 Since the card showed a fam fly group toasting the holiday with glasses of wine, the card supposedly stirred criticism by temperance adherents - even though the card also depicted clothing the needy" and feed ing the hungry" However, an- other story has it that Sir Hen ry gained his knighthood as the result of the acclaim he re- ceived for sending the first Christmas card.

Sheep and sheepherding are closely linked with the Christ mas story, and they also serve as a symbol of the kindness and loving care that was part of Christ's message to man. kind.
 When darkness falls on Christmas Eve, today's sheep herder is watching his flocks by night and, probably, looking at the stars in the heavens, just as the shepherds of old did.
 There are some differences for instance, the sheep-herder on the Western ranges of the U. s. has changed the shep- herds robes for lewis, and the flocks he watches are much larger, numbering sheep by the thousands. But the meaning of shepherd - Ito herd, guard, lead,' says a dictionary defin- ition - hasn't changed.
 Sheep still must be. watched by night, because, for some reason known only to the sheep. night is the time they are most likely to decide to roam to faraway places. In sud- den storms, the sheepherder, his horse and dog must guide the flock to shelter.
 The ailing sheep or the new born lamb are sure of the herd CTS gentle care, and when part of the flock has strayed, he searches with a diligence that recalls the parable of Jesus:
 What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he lose one

Claims to the new look" come from various quarters of the globe, Paris and its Dior in cluded, but the one indis- putable fact emerges from all chalmers of fame for the naming of the tag, and that is, Santa Claus was the harbinger of the new look" back in 1882 with a Made in LISA" label indelibly stamped on the seat of his pants.
 That doesn't mean to say that the spirit of Santa Claus isn't a composite one, nor that his very makeup isn't a com- bination of many things from many lands beginning with St. Nicholas thru the Germanic Kristkindl and back to ancient and even pagan times.
 But it's the round-bellied, jo- vial, ruddy faced character with the flowing white beard driving his reindeer-drawn sleigh across the night sky on Christmas eve, to which refer ence is made, and this is defin- itely as American as turkey and apple pie.
 It started, however, with Santa as a severe looking char acter, tall and grim, and to boot, he was riding a tall, thin horse. A far cry from our pres ent day conception of the old boy.
 Then followed the name, and the English children borrowed the Christmas Saint from the Dutch, but it became a pro- blem for the small-fry as well as their parents pronouncing his name, and through trial and error, many variations came to pass until the name Santa Claus was adopted to re- main for all time.
 But that was only a change in the name. The awesome fig gure remained until Washing ton Irving put pen to paper

Yule Candle
 Burning Traced To Irish

When the first Christmas candles were lighted, is not known, and yet the custom of burning candles at the Yuletide can be traced back centuries.
 The way the story goes, the Christ Child Candle" was burned in windows to light His way if He made an earth ly visitation. It was also light ed in atonement for the night of His birth when shelter was denied Mary and Joseph in Bethlehem.
 The legend which surrounds the lighting of candles at Christmastime is said to have started in Ireland. There on Christmas Eve, a large candle is burned which could be snuf- fed out only by someone nam ed Mary. AS it is reported from the Emerald Isle, "Who knows on some Christmas Eve, Jesus, Mary and Joseph may come again; not to Palestine, but to the Holy Isle on the farthest edge of Europe"
 In ancient days, brightly burning candles were as much a part of ! Christmas as the religious significance of the holy day. And it was in ancient times when the bayberry can- dle held particular significance. It was believed that if the can- dies burned bright and clear throughout the Christmas sea- son, the coming year was cer- tain to be happy and prosper ous.
 Then too, in Colonial days, bayberry branches were dipped in wax and used instead of candles when animal fat for the making of candles was in short supply.

DoWWies Filled Eahy Stockings

St. Nicholas, the early bishop who was the first Santa Claus, is also credited with orginat- ing the custom of hanging up Christmas stockings.
 According to legend, he wished to provide dowries for the three daughters of a bank rupt merchant. Since he want ed the gifts to be anonymous, he tossed bags of gold down the merchants chimney. Acci- dentally, the gold fell into stockings the girls had hung by the fireplace to dry.
 Factual handicap is that, though St. Nicholas lived in the fourth century, stockings were not made with feet until the 11th century - but the Christ mas stocking story is still a happy legend.

.Sanfa, 80 Year, Old,
 Made In U.S.A.

and wrote his "Knickerbocker's History of New York" He tried his hand at creating a Santa Claus.
 Irving, an early chronicler of American Colonial days was of course, influenced by the early Dutch settlers in New York and what came out as a re- suit of his efforts was a Santa Claus that wore a broad-brim- med hat, sported big baggy brooches and smoked a long stemmed pipe. Very Dutch.
 To top it all off he had his Santa" driving a wagon, which too, was symbolic of the early Dutch settlers in New York.
 Then came the year 1882 and with it two men who were des- tined to change the entire con- cept of Santa Claus in Ameri- ca, and who were responsible for the "new look" of the old gentleman and Christmas that has swept the world.
 Clement Clark Moore, a pro- lessor of divinity at a New York theology seminary, sat himself down one day and be- gan a poem that went, "Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; :" Of course it was a poem that became fam ous overnight and has retained it's popularity through the years. The name of it is, "A Visit From St. Nicholas" and is known in every English speaking nation in the world.
 It was Moore who described Santa Claus as a round-bellied, twinkly-eyed jolly old man with rosy cheeks. But that wasn't the end of it. He also added the sleigh and reindeer.
 When Thomas Mast, a fam ous cartoonist for the Hearst newspapers, read the poem, he was inspired to illustrate it. And it was his creation of the Santa Claus we know today that took hold of the imagina- ton of the people and was firm ly established as the accepted Santa Claus, potbelly, rosy cheeks, twinkling eyes, flow ing white beard, reindeer, sleigh and all.
 Actually, Santa Claus - U.S.A. version - is only 80 years old, but the ''new look" created in our time has come to be accepted throughout the Christian world, and even if he isn't the giver of gifts in all countries, he nevertheless is as much the symbol of Christmas as anything else at Yuletide.

buoyant girl looking forward to
another adventure at camp.
The 1l-year-old child can
remember when life revolved
around fear of her bullying
father.
Patience didn't do we'll in
school while here father lived
at home. She was too upset to
think.
Patience remembers the aw-
full day a teacher told her ia
ther his daughter was tagging
behind.
He stood over her while she
tried to do her arithmetic that
night. She was too scared to
work. When she failed her ia
ther struck her and knocked
her from the chair.
Patlence's parents finally
separated. The girl thrived in
the peace that followed. She
found to her surprise she could
be a good student. She went to
camp and discovered she was a
leader, too.
Now it's camp time again.

Curbs Approved
On Tie-Ins to
New IBM Sewer

Restrictions to head off an
expected rush of high-density
building along a proposed trunk
sewer to an International Bust
ness Machines site northwest of
Gaithersburg have been ap-
proved by the Washington Sub
urban Sanitary Commission.
The controls were requested
by the Montgomery County
Council, which feared that
completion of 2 S1.3 million
trunk sewer line to the planned
1BM site would prompt an on
slaught of developments.
Controls ordered by the coun-
Gil provide that it must approve
all connections made to the
1BM sewer outside the WSSC
district. This leaves about one
square mile which builders can
develop and service with the
IBM sewer without council
approval.
The 6.5-mile sewer would
serve IBM's proposed $6.2 mil
lion plant on 125 acres AUDITING
Route 70-S near the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad. Sewer con-
Struction hinges on a $350,OO0
contribution from IBM.
