You can do eilher or both and much else, too, according to Santa Claus, whose bag contents reveal just such a va riety of toys for Christmas, 1941. ‘‘The desire of adults to forget wartime jitters in relaxing fun at home is reflected in an increased demand for easy- toplay games," say toy manufacturers. ‘‘Parlor ver sions of bowling, skeet shooting and skeeball are being featured on Christmas toy lists everywhere." You also can shoot darts with rubber-band guns, build model air planes, or, if you’re the kind that would, swipe junior’s miniature sub marines and watch them dive in the bathtub. The main point, says Santa Claus, is that "the American toy industry is geared to give children their full guota ef happy play hours in 1941, unshadowed by war." Tliat wasn’t so in 1914 when Ger many was the world’s greatest toy- producing coun try. American- made toys were a poor substitute. But all diat is changed. For the past 20 years virtually all new designs and im- provenients have j been initiated in the United States’ toy shops. Patriotic and naitional defense themes are carried'out in this year’s toys.- The latter includes coast de fense guns and the like, all "sei- entiflcally tested," in the interests of society. There will be the usual scientifle ton, dolls, and things-on-wheels, but with improvemrots. In the first cat egory is a microscope using a Pola roid light; in the second, Ch^ maid ens with ‘‘Hollywood glsunour set coiflttre"; and in the ffdrd, motor ized army equipment of the "latest designs." Defense isn’t the only government function reflected in toy designs. The FHA‘s influence is apparent in a new double-decker bunk calculated "to eliminate crowding in doll houses." dodgers Hosiery Mill At Laurens To Close " Down December 31 Says The L^ttirens Advertiser: With both raw silk and nylon dif ficult to obtain due to the war situ ation, the Rodgers Hosiery company plant in Laurens is to begin Uqui- dsRon on December 31, it was learn ed jresterday from H.

The fWffly of raw matoials that the oim^my could obtain, said Mr. Penwwh was not nougb to ke^ both plants running, so the decision was readied to con centrate activities in Athm. A part of the load macliinary haa already been moved to Athena, it waa kamad from other aourcesl No announcement wgi-ttade aa to whether or not any of 'the local of ficial! or employes would be carried to Athens, although R la ganarally understood that the Afficne plant is already fully manned so far as su pervision goes. Mr. Poarsem said that he would have to look out for other employment. Sale of the plant to other inter ests was already under way when the Japanese oproed the war, Blr. Peiuraan said, but the war broke up the trade. The building, owned by the company, on which thouean<k of dollars were qient, will be for sale, he aaid. The company anq>]oyed about 25(1 people.

In 1223 he visited Rome and told Pope Hon- orius III his plans of making a scenic representation of the place of the Nativity. The Pope gave hb sanc tion and on Christmas eve, St Fran- ds constructed a crib and grouped round it the figures of the blessed Virgin and St Joseph, the ass and ox, and the shepherd. He used live animab in a real stable. The custom spread from Italy to Spain, Portugal, France, the Nether lands and Germany, and from these countries it has spread to all corners of the earth. Museums throu^out the world possess very ancient cribs. Jhe MetropoUtan Museum of Art, New York, has a group which dates from before 1478. The custom of placing cribs out of doors aa Christmas derarationa in the yard has become popular the past few years.
