BARNETTE’S BARBER SHOP Downstairs Under County Bank—College Street CHRISTMAS SEALS Christmas seals, the seasonal reminder of the fight to stamp out tuberculosis, have been with us since 1904. The idea was conceived by a Danish postal clerk in 1903, whil»‘ mailing Christmas packages and letters. Einar Holboell mentioned the idea to his fellow workers and they thought it would be a great help in defraying the cost of fight ing tuberculosis. The idea reached King Christian, who approved, and the image of Queen Louise appeared on the first seals in 14104. A Danish-born American, Jacob Riis sold the idea to the Amer ican public in a 1907 magazine article and a Red Cross worker, Miss Emily Bissell, started the first American sales that year. Two words found opposite the word “dad” on many Christmas gift lists are “shirt” and “tie” Despite all the jokes about dads getting nothing but ties in their gift boxes, researchers say the chances of a man getting a tie as a gift are about one in seven. The popularity of the tie as a gift is understandable. There's no worry about “size” The tie will always fit. The only worry is in getting a suitable color. This is usually solved simply by looking at the kind of tie dad is wearing or the selec tion on his tie rack. Buying a man a shirt is a bit more difficult. Size is important. Yet, equally so, is color and style. Men's shirts may all look alike, but there's always the considerations of quality. The woman who buys her blouses with care should be able to buy a man a quality shirt. Some things to look for in a quality shirt: sturdy button holes—neat and without ravels; smooth, uniform buttons; sleeves cut in one piece so they will be easier to iron; even, closely spaced stitches along cuffs and front panel. Dad knows quality in shirts and he will appreciate the kind he would choose for himself. Toys are designed to please the hearts of children, and they do. But all toys are not always completely safe for children of all ages. If you have youngsters of varying ages in the home, toys selected for an older child may be the source of an accident or illness in the hands of a toddler. When you shop for toys this year, avoid toys made of lead or j colored with lead-based paints. Small children sometimes chew off the lead paint and swallow it, and serious illness could result. Be careful, too, about small toys that can be swallowed, ilammable toys and toys with rough or sharp edges. Electric toys are for older children—and be sure that these bear the UL (Underwriters Lab oratory) label on the cord and Ihe toy itself. Missile-throwing toys, partic ularly air rifles and sling shots, are dangerous, particularly to the eyes. Toy archery sets can also cause injury. If your child receives a missile-throwing toy for Christmas, for his own safety, and for the welfare of other children, set down rules for safe use and be sure they are enforced. Accidents Mar Happy Holidays For hundreds of Americans, it was not a Merry Christmas. For almost as many more, it will not be a happy New Year. Hundreds of families are plunged into grief by year-end holiday traffic acci dents. Don’t let it happen to you. Never drive when overtired. Keep a window open when the auto mobile is in motion. Car heaters keep you warm, but they can also make you dangerously drowsy un less counteracted by fresh air. Fight “festivity fatigue” with coffee. Take frequent coffee breaks on long motor trips. Talk with others in the car. If alone, turn on the radio. Monot ony can be a killer. Alcohol and gasoline make a lethal mixture. Male Shopper Is E&’taieri, frailer Says It will be a bolder, yet more realistic type of male shopper who will haunt lingerie depart ments and perfume counters this Christmas season, according to an Allentown, Pa. retailer who conci icted his own survey. Th e survey shows that the aver age man will be looking for dainty and intimate items—without blushing when the salesgirl asks what size. Man’s greater interest and knowledge of women’s fash ions account for part of this change in habits, Hess says. Realistic Another survey revelation shows that men will be shopping more realistically. Besides the romantic “must” items men buy for their lady folk, such as French perfume, lacy lingerie and up holstered jewel and candy boxes, this year they will buy more “bread and butter” items such as practical ready-to-wear ap parel, household appliances, cook ing utensils, home furnishings and garden supplies. The survey found that the men folk will know exactly what they want, what the wife needs around the house or for herself and ex actly what she has been wanting for a long time—but there will be some surprises. „ Some Surprises Some of the surprises will be cocktail dresses which the male shopper will buy for his lady and the man will know the size dress she wears and the color she pre fers. When it comes to perfume, the male shopper will demand recognized scents and the favorite ones of their ladies, not just any perfume the saleslady suggests. MISTLETOE Some believe the ancient Druids gave mystical signifi cance to the mistletoe because it grows high among the branches of oak trees, touching neither heaven nor earth. It was believed to be immune, there fore, to the malignant influence of evil spirits. The Druids, from Gaul, set tled in the northwest section ijf France now known as Brittany. The mistletoe is still popular in France, where it Is called M guL” Know-How Preserves Beauty Of Plants You don’t really have to have a green thumb to have “luck” with house plants. You just need to re member that such plants need suf ficient light and sufficient humid ity. If your plants are thin and don’t flower properly, they need more light. If plants drop leaves or turn brown, they lack sufficient humid ity. Give your plants the light they need — utilizing incandescent or fluorescent lights if necessary. But, by all means keep plants away dV from radiators an of dry heat. other sources New Joy To Young Hearts You can bring happiness this Christmas to children in hospitals, orphanages and in the families of the unemployed by refurbishing the toys your own children have outgrown or no longer enjoy. In many communities, civic and fra ternal groups have organized pro grams for this purpose. The easiest way to make old toys in basically good condition 'ook like new again is with color ful quality enamels, and here are some tips to help you do the job. First and most important of all be sure you use only suitable anamels, particularly those that contain less than 1 per cent of lead.* While most enamels meant "or interior use contain no harm ful ingredients, be sure to tell your paint dealer that you will be painting toys. He will sell you the right product. Under no cir cumstances use outside paint on toys or children’s furniture. Kids Like Color Bear in mind that children pre fer strong, bold colors, the pri maries; red, yellow and blue, the bright secondaries; orange, green, purple. It takes a more sophisti cated taste to enjoy pastel and less lively darker shades. They also like the shininess of gloss enamel. Wash the toy with detergent to remove finger marks and other soil. If old finish is glossy, it should be dulled with sandpaper, so new finish will adhere better. Any cracks or holes should be filled with water putty or plastic wood which should be permitted to dry before sanding smooth. Easy To Use For small articles, you’ll find self-spraying enamels in aerosol cans easiest and most practical to use. If more than one color is to be applied, protect the already painted areas with masking tape. r a dmhktm ism Spartan Grain & Mill Co DRAYTON STREET TELEPHONE 276-1110 NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA MMMMMISHMMf m [HJ m u ■I •“ '"v. ••V. m a*. m v.v 1 WBm ■"%'s ; r m. i NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA
