Santa Claus Provided
With Variety ef Toys
Cowboy and Policemen
Replace G.l. Uniforms
Toyland, 1948 style, Is geared to
reproduction of America’s peace
time living, reproducing in purpose
ful miniature every phase of home
making, building and road construc
tion, transportation, science, agri
culture, fashion and art. Cowboys
and policemen have staged a come
back as Juvenile heroes and minia
tures of military equipment are
keyed to the armed forces' training
programs. New toys have been test
ed by children for fun appeal, age
interest and safety.
More than 100,000 different kinds
of playthings with a retail value of
250 million dollars, a 35 per cent
increase over 1945, are ready for
Christmas distribution. The first
•lines of rubber and steel playthings
in four years will bring back such
deeply missed favorites as rubber
balls, balloons and animals, wheel
toys, electric trains, movable eyes
and voices for dolls, steel construc
tion sets, musical instruments,
noisemakers .and pop guns. Many
new uses of plastic as well as a
bumper crop of wood, cardboard
and paper toys also will be repre
sented in Santa’s 1946 pack.
Special requests to Santa Claus
will call for early shopping. Al
though volume in most lines is close
to prewar levels, unprecendented de
mand is likely to create out-of-stock
conditions in popular lines before
Christmas eve. This will be due to
the fact that in addition to pent-up
demand for toys caused by wartime
manufacturing restrictions, five mil
lion extra children of toy age were
added to the population during the
war years (in comparison with the
average of the preceding peacetime
decade).
Czechoslovakia Cards
Designed by Cripples
Christmas cards, produced by the
American Relief for Czechoslovakia,
were drawn by Ann Halamova and
Premek Blazicek, two of hundreds
of Czechoslovak children who lost
their arms or legs through the ex
plosion of bombs, grenades or mines
which the Nazis strewed throughou'
their country. These tots were
trained by the Jedlicka institute in
Prague, and the cards, made by
children without hands, would be
remarkable for normal children
even older than they are.
First Christmas
What sweeter musick can we bring,
Than sf Carroll, for to sing,
The birth of this our Heavenly King?
Awake the Voice! Awake the String!
Heart, Eare and Eye and everythin*
Awake. . . .
The Darling of the world har rotxm
And fit it is, we finde a room*;
To welcome Him. The Nobler part
Of all the house here, is the heart.
Which we will give; and bequeath
This Hollie, and this Ivie Wreath,
To do Him honour; who's our King,
And Lord of all this rejoicing!
—Robert Herrick (1591-1674)
Make Christmas Happy
By Making It a Safe One
The tree, the drying holly and
mistletoe, lighted candles, defective
log, all increase the danger of fire.
If the carefree spirit that charac-.
terizes Christmas slips into careless
ness, swift catastrophe may over
take us, our loved ones and our pos
sessions. There is no time of the
year when it is so essentia] that ex
treme care be taken to insure that
any possible danger of fire be avoid
ed to make Christmas a happy one.
On
Christ
mas morn
ing when I
awake, and
sleep-dust from
my eyes I shake. I
see a sight that
makes me start and
causes thumpings in my
heart! A Christmas tree—
oh, pretty sight—with can
dles, bells and balls alight.
With horns and dolls and sugar
plums, and skates and trains and
beating drums. And oh. it is a won
der-tree, with heaps of things for
me to see! Rare gifts hang upon
the side, which tinseled fairies
cannot hide. A soldier
doll, a doll house,
too, and strings
of gold
come to my
view, and
as I look l
seem to
hear street
Christmas
music soft
and clear.
A Merry Christmas it seems to say,
A merry, happy, holy day!
Stocking Hanging
An Old Custom
Almost without exception the chil
dren of American will put up their
stockings by the side of the chimney
for Father Christmas or Santa
Claus. For generations children
have gone eagerly to their stockings
on Christmas morning to see whai
Santa Claus has deposited in them.
The origin has nothing whatever
to do with Christmas. The custom’s
only connection with Christmas is
through Saint Nicholas. Saint Nich
olas, or Santa Claus, the saint who
liked to do good by stealth, heard
that three lovely sisters, who lived
in a poor cottage on the outskirts
of town, were destitute.
Saint Nicholas made his way to
their home one night, and threw a
gift of three gold pieces through
the smoke-hole of the cottage.
Instead of gold pieces falling on
the hearth, as he had expected, they
fell into the stockings of the girls,
which had been hung up over the
Are to dry after washing. Hence,
when the tale became known, the
custom of hanging up stockings over
the Are came into being—in hopes;
and Christmas Day was chosen for
the doing, because it was Sain/
Nicholas’ day.
WILD BLUE YONDER . . . Daniel
Greening, like most American
boys, prefers that his tricycle be
modeled after a fighter plane.
World War II weapons and equip
ment soon will give way to fan
tastic "cosmic weapons," as the
motif for children’s toys.
Dance Until Midnight.
Mexican Christmas Eve is a pretty
iomibnation of the religious and the
festive observance. There is a
dance In every village until mid
night. At the stroke of twelve the
musicians play a mystical sacred
melody, and everyone converges in
front of the “nacimiento,” or crib
representation.
How Washington Observed
Christmas in Virginia
George Washington celebrated
Christmas in much the same man
ner as it is observed today. With
his neighbors he attended Christ

large church. On Christmas Day an
elaborate and delectable dinner was
served, followed by hours of fun and
merry-making, at which most of the
neighbors took part. Rhythmic feet
stepped the Virginia reel, followed

Five - year - old Karolyn Grimes

bedroom scenes all the time. In her
first three pictures she went into a
clinch with Bing Crosby, Fred

When the sponsors of “Highways

ex-serviceman singer whom they
could build iuto a star they picked
Mac Morgan. He was born In Tex
arkana, Texas, but his mother was
born in Oklahoma before it was ad
mitted to the Union as a state, and
his uncle Is now mayor of Ard

The American Schools and Col
leges association advises that cer
tain types of broadcasts should be
required listening; its School Advi
sory Committee cites as examples
"Superman” and "Let's Pretend,”
for children, and the Alan Young
show. "The Aldrich Family” and
"Date With Judy” as comedies. "It’s
Up to Youth,” the “CBS School of
the Air” and the "NBC University
of the Air” are the educational pro
grams.

Valya ValentinofI danced well
enough with the Ballet Russe de
Monte Carlo and in several musical
hits to be acclaimed as "the great

of course he wants to do straight act

to Paul Valentine, and gets his wish
in his film debut in "Build My Gal

awarded the top badman role.

Joan Davis is being paged by RKO

pictures.
