Progress Made for Treaty Banning Tests

MOSCOW lR - The Soviet Un- ion, Britain and the United States announced today they had made progress in drafting some of the provisions for treaty banning nuclear tests in the atmosphere, outer space and under water.

It intended to confirm diplo- matic reports that things were going smoothly. The communique also said: Views were exchanged on other matters of mutual interest" Possibly these included a non- aggression pact between East and West.

D A N C E. R Direct Viewing Of Eclipse Can Cause Blindness

Never look directly at an eclipse of the sun. You may cause serious damage to your vision, warns the National Society for the Proven ton of Blindness, Inc.
 During the afternoon of Satur- day, July 20, the eclipse of the sun will cause complete darkness in parts of Alaska and ther areas of the continent.
 This eclipse means a serious threat to the eyesight of every per son, both adults and children, who watch it directly. Children are par ticularly susceptible to vision damage There is no safe way 10 look directly al the eclipse! Smoked glass, exposed photographic film, and dark glasses are not adequate protection for watching the eclipse Many who have tried them in past eclipses have suffered eye injuries.
 After a partial eclipse of the sun three years ago, widespread l in western states, especially among school children. The state of Utah counted 3l definite cases of eye burns after the September 1860 eclipse; all but five of the victims were children. An estimated 75 children suffered retinal burns in the state of Washington during
 the same eclipse.
 During an eclipse, even though the dazzling visible rays of the sun are blocked, dangerous mira red rays are nevertheless emitted. These rays, when focused on the delicate retina of the eye, can cause harmful burns much the same as a magnifying glass can focus the suns rays on piece of paper and burn it. Because the retina is not sensitive to pain, the victim never realizes he has been harmed until too late. Such retinal burns are | incurable, and the victim has a | blank spot in his field of vision where the burn scar remains in | the retina.
 In Australia, ITO persons, mostly children, are reported to have sui fered retinal burns during a 1859 eclipse.
 One method of indirect viewing is to let the image of the sun be projected through hole in a piece of cardboard onto white paper The viewer keeps his back to the sun.
 REMEMBER. there is no safe way 10 look directly al an eclipse of the Sun

Cards Express Sentiments
Merry, Friendly, Reverent

Friendly, merry, reverent,
grateful - Christmas senti-
ments find expression in greet
ing cards at the holiday sea-
son.
Just when the sending of
greeting cards first began is a
question that may never be
settled, especially since it is
always possible that early ex-
amples of printed Christmas
greetings are waiting to be found
among private books and pap
ers.
The Cole-Horsley card is
considered by many to be the
first published Christmas card.
1t was designed In Britain In
l843 by John Calcott Horsley,
well-known artist of the per-
iod, for Sir Henry Cole, di-
rector of the Victoria and Al
bert Museum.
The card bears the now -uni-
versal greeting, "a Merry
Christmas and a Happy New
Year to You". 1t shows a joy

Yule Riddle
Links Santa,
PawnshOps

What is the connection be-
tween Santa Claus, the custom
of hanging up Christmas stock
ings, and a pawnbroker's sign
of three gold-colored balls7
A Scrooge might say that
the answer to the Yuletide riddle
is that Santa Claus would need
help from a pawnbroker, TO pay
for filling all the stockings
but Scrooge would be. wrong,
Both Christmas stockings and
pawnbrokers' signs are trad
itions that come from legends
about the first "Santa Claus"
st. Nicholas, bishop ofMyra,
in Asia Minor--according to the
Encyclopedia Americana.
This early Santa was known
far and wide for his generos-
ity. And, so the story goes, he
wanted to help merchant who
had lost all his money and had
no way to provide dowries for
the marriages of his three
daughters.
Like Santa today, St. Nicho-
las wanted to be a generous
but secret giver. When the
Oldest daughter was old enough
to marry, he went at night to
the merchants house, with a
bag of gold.
Some legends say he threw
it through the window, and
others that he threw it down
the chimney. AT any rate, the
Oldest daughter had her dowry
and was able to marry.
St. Nicholas repeated the pro-
cess for the second, and then the
third daughter. The third time,
the merchant watched to see who
brought the gold and told the
story of the good saints gen.
crosby.
According to legend, one bag
of gold fell into stocking
hung up by the chimney to
dry, and thus began the Gus
tom of hanging up stockings to
be filled with gifts.

Beasts and Birds Share i'm Yule Legends

In the lore and legends of
Christmas, the beasts of the
fields and the birds of the air
play their part - and appro-
priately so, for the Oldest and
holiest Christmas story of all
tells of shepherds with their
flocks - shepherds who went
TO seek and find a Holy Babe
lying In a manger.
Animals of the manger In
the dme of Christ we're likely
to be the sheep and goats, cat
tie, horses, donkeys and pigs.
All of these figure in Yuletide
songs and stories - even the
pig, who has held the place of
honor at many a Christmas
feast.
Telling of the First Christ
mas Eve, the famous carol,
Away in a Manger," says,
''The cattle we're lowing" and
religious paintings through the
ages have depicted both the
cattle and the other animals
in the manger, as we'll as the
flocks of the shepherds.
Feeding Birds
In Scandinavian countries
people place sheaves of grain
and bits of suet on trees and
rooftops, so birds can feast.
They Feast
Because an ancient tradition
holds that animals helped to
spread the glad tidings of the
birth of Christ, barnyard ami
mails In many countries are
still served special supper on
Christmas Eve.
Cattle Speak
An old German legend has
1t that cattle ueel in their
stalls at midnight on Christ
mas Eve. Then, for a moment,
they have the power of speech.
Other legends broaden this
to include all animals.
From Spanish Lore
On the first Christmas, says
a Spanish legend, a COW in the
manger breathed on the Baby
Jesus to warm him.
Kneeling Deer

tiers in Quebec bewildered the
Huron Indians by their strange
