Gather in the paz^, folks, and
have a skeet shoot.
Or, if you're militarily inclined, be
come a chair strategist with new
games "suggested by air and naval
warfare and army maneuvers."
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. E. Pearson, lo
cal manager. It will require a couple
of weeks after that date to close out
woric in process, he said.
The company also operates a plant
hi Affiens, Qa. 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.

OmCB SPECIAL —
St Francis Started
Us^ of Yule Crib
It was St. Francb of Assisi who
gave the Crib the tangible form in
which we know it today. 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.
