Remember Last Cbristmasf
These were the major goings-oH
he the world during Christmas
week in 1948:
December 27—Joseph Cardinal
Mindzenty, outspoken foe of Hunt-
ary s Communist regime, was ar
rested o n charges o J plotting
against the government, spying,
treason and blackmarket dealings
in currency.
In an extemporaneous speech at
Kansas City, President Truman
made this remark that caught the
interest of the world: "There are
certain leaders in the government
of that country (Russia) who are
exceedingly anxious to have an un
derstanding with us."
December 29 — President Tree-
man returned to Washington after
a Christmas vacation in Independ
ence, Mo.
December 28—Twelve stranded
air force men were rescued by
plane from an icecap in southern
Greenland by Lt. Col. Emil Beaud
ry-
December 31—The 80th con
gress, denounced by President Tru
man as the second worst on record,
passed into history with the ad
journment of both bouses.
December 31 — At year’s end,
America’s favorite popular song tor
the moment was "On a Slow Boat
to China."

CHRISTMAS SYMBOL . . . The
light of the deathless spirit of the
Yule burns steadily in every mind
at this season of the year, but
nowhere Is it more beautifully
typified than In the delighted,
wide-eyed look of a child experi
encing the shimmering delights of
his first Christmas.
^jalurafizeJ (Citizen —
Dl at'A Our Santa
Santa Claus as Americans know
him is a naturalized American citi
zen, and as such is America’s con
tribution to the Christmas legend.
That’s the opinion of Dr. Gustav
O. Arlt of the department of Ger
manic languages on the Los Ange
les campus of the University of
California.
“The Norwegians who settled
early in America brought the first
version of the modern Santa Claus,
who in Europe had been known as
St. Nicholas, but never adequately
personally described.” said Dr.
Arlt.
"When the American Clement
Moore described the jolly, rotund
gentleman in minute detail in his
poem “ Twas The Night Before
Christmas,” he assumed the pro
portion of living legend and thus
became an integral part of Chris
tian legend and folklore,” the
professor stated.

Archaeologists' Findings
Bear Out Bible Stories
Archaeologists' findings ofttimes
serve to further establish the au
thenticity of the story of Jesus.
-Only" recently a group discovered
the name of Jesus, carved before
70 A.D. and perhaps by an eye
witness to the crucifixion, among
inscriptions on 11 early Christian
burial urns found in a cave on the
Jerusalem-Bethlehem road.
The urns may provide the "oldest
archaeological record of Christian
ity” and an historical confirmation
of the trial and crucifixion of
Christ, the archaeologists said.
A sect of Hebrews, who followed
Jesus, denounced Pontius Pilate
and mourned the crucifixon of
their leader, was believed to have
left the writings on the urns In the
cave.
The Hebrew and Aramic Inscrip
tions contained common names like
Miriam, Simeon, and Matti. The
Greek inscriptions and symbols be
side them contained references to
Christianity and, it seems probable,
to the crucifixion.
UNIVERSAL FRIEND . . . Santa,
the universal friend of little folks,
has managed to gather together
» group of kiddles from aU over
the world. Represented here are
the small fry of Paraguay, Greece,
Poland, Austria and Italy.
Flour Sack
Gifts For
Christmas
Whoever said that death and
taxes are the only certain
things in this world failed to
mention one other item — the
annual Christmas shopping
rush.
Once again there is hustle
and bustle everywhere as the
spirit pervades the air and
crowds jam stores and shops
in hurried, frantic efforts to
unearth an appropriate gift for
each name on their shopping
lists. In addition to the prob
lem of selecting the present,
there also is the minor little
matter of fitting the gift to the
billfold, sometimes a tight
squeeze.
Simple Solution
Many Women who sew have
come to the conclusion that the
simple approach to the solu
tion of this Christmas problem
is to make gifts at home. They
avoid the struggle of the shop
ping rush and at the same time
obtain suitable gifts for every
member of the family for prac
tically nothing.
Some clever seamstresses
have discovered a bountiful
stock of inexpensive gift ideas
in the cotton material found
in feed and flour bags. Color
ful print cotton fabric is read
ily available to rural families
in the sacks that bring feed to
the farm. Empty laundered
flour and feed bags are avail
able to rural families in the
sacks that bring feed to the
farm. Empty laundered flour
and feed bags are available at
little cost to most city residents
in local groceries, bakeries, and
feed stores.
Cuddly Dolls
Straight from a cotton flour
bag into jolly old St. Nick’s
sack can go a cuddly doll, for a
single 100-lb. flour sack pro
vides enough material to make
a lovable cloth doll. The addi
tion of a painted face, yarn
hair, and a tiny wardrobe of
cotton sack frocks made from
scraps will put the finishing
touches on a gift to be cher
ished by any youngster.
The small fry love to find
soft, huggable stuffed animals
tucked in their Christmas
stockings. Bright plaid, strip
ed and polka dot fabric from
feed and flour bags makes
ideal material for constructing
toy elephants, clowns, and pup
py dogs. j
A slumbertime set designed
in cotton sack fabric will catch
the fancy of a high school or
college lass. The popular shor-
tie style nightshirt can be cut
from three or four 100-lb. feed
or flour bags, and matching
scuffs can be whipped up from
the leftovers.
For the lady on the Christ
mas list whose main interest is
her home, a gift for the home
is an obvious choice. Cotton
bag fabric offers many possi
bilities for pretty, valuable
household articles. Large bags,
either print, white, or solid-
dyed, will make fine bridge and
luncheon cloths. Napkins that
match or contrast with the
cloth complete a set that will
be a welcome Christmas gift
in any home.
Other Suggestions
Collar and cuff sets, dickeys,
matching shoe bag and hat box
covers, place mats, ruffled ap
rons, hanger covers, tea towels,
dresser scarves—these are but
a few of the items that cotton
feed and flour bags can supply
for Santa’s pack.
A booklet, “Smart Sewing
With Cotton Bags,” is availably
with complete instructions for
making gifts, clothing and prac
tical household articles from
cotton feed and flour bags.
Free copies may be obtained
from the National Cotton Coun
cil, Box 76, Memphis, Tenn.
