World Citizen Passport Through Iron Curtain By GUY PAULEY (United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK (UP) Virginia DJVis, sister of "world citizen" Garry Davis, suspects you cculd get behind the "Iron Curtain-' with hardly more for a passport tharr a peanut butter jar label.

PLATTER CHATTER CAFITOL: Christmas is just around the corner and Capitcl is losing no time in getting out some, top albums for the "occasion . . . There is Buddy Cole at the organ playing favorite carols with a smooth touch . . . For the children, Jan Garber has recorded all tlie carols most pleasing to the ears of the small fry, including such gay traditional tunes as "Jingle Bells." "Deck tlie Hails," the more modern "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," "Here Comes Santa Claus" and "Winter Wonderland" . . . Jan's sparkling arrangements will delight tlie kiddies. And last but far from least is a unique Cliristmas album made by Capitol's top western star, Jimmy Wakely, called "Christmas on the Kange" ... Hearing such favorites as "Silent Night," "Joy to the World," "Little Town of Bethle hem," "Come All Ye Faithful" and others done op in western style with guitar and all, seems strange but it is very effective. COLUMBIA: Columbia also has an excellent album of Christmas carols played by Richard Keys Biggs on the organ . . . Numbers include "Adeste Fidebs." "SiltHSt Night," "O Jloly Night," -First Noel" and "Joy to the World" . . . The music is soft and low-pitched . . . In singles, Dinah Shore has a snappy arrangement cf the jiew and very pert "Merry Christina Foika." THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL Thursday, December 15, 1949 PAGE SEVEN BIRCH E tl L. (A Short Story) Bv RICHARD HILL WILKINSON w 'KEN THE SEDLEYS bojht thoir ciimmpr ccttae? down at Bayside they decided not to give it a name. "Names are so silly," Jessie Sed lcy pointed out. "Mcst of them sour.i so common. like "The Break ers,1 'Ocean View,1 and 'The Pines.' They indicate that unimaginative people own them, don't you think?" Derry, Jessie's husband, most certainly did think so. He was glad his wile didn't want to attach a name to the place. Every one thought it was ador able. The Sedleys were much pleased with the compliments they received. Frequently seme one asked why they didn't give the place a name, suggesting such titles as "The Bluffs," "Offshore Breeze," etc. But ths Sedleys V r A. - A He stared at it warmed his Llooi. and anger thanked them polilcly and firmly refused, even though they realized that a name on the front gate would make it easier for, visiting friends to locate the establishment. So the summer passed and the Sedleys moved back to the city and Christmas came. Yuletide cards began arriving, and these received from their new friends at Eavside were nice to look at. Most of them bore snapshots of the send er's summer cott name engraved bcr re with the !3th. "un, L'erry. we'll have to Co that next year!" Jessie cried. "We'll have pictures taken cf the cottage and use it cn our Christ mas cards. It's such a lovely idea." 'If we do that." Derry said thoughtfully, "we'll have to give the place a name. Otherwise, how can we identify it to other people whe have ne-ver been down?" "Then let's think vp a name. Let's think up something cute, something different." So the Sedleys began to think. Within the next week they thought of a hundred names, but discarded Miss Davis, a concert artist, i explained. It ; i border official explained. It s net Decause the s intend to make it easy lor mo tourist, xcs ! that they don-t seeni fo be abIc to read anything but Russian, sc they'll let you by on anything that looks even half-way offi- i ' cial. : She's just back from a three ; months' concert tour of Switz- ! erland, Austria: Germany,; France, Belgium and Czechs- : Slovakia and every cotmtrv said she entered cn an "interna- ticnal identity card," issued b her brother in Paris. 'I had a U. S. passpori: and intended to use it, if necessary," she said. ' But I wan'e'd to see just how many bo ders I could cross cn th world citizenship card." The cara bears ber, Miss Davi; nhotncnnh nr.-! a senul r.ttm description fingerprints. And above her signature pears the pledge cf the unt cial organization heads. her brother It st ates m part, "I have myself to place the in terest of world peace above and ail national cr other interests incompatible with that goal." Miss Davis said one cf the biggest "moments'' of her con cert tour in central Europe came when she crossed the 'border into Czechoslovakia, cn route to After border official ;tmpeu her "passport," one turned to ask her to sing. The 25-year-old soprano said. "I did . . . over a loudspeaker ordinarily used to announce train arrivals and departures. After that, the Hollywood Bowl holds no fears fcr me." She said she found American jazz everywhere, although the Russians call it ' decadent." "I heard jazz in Leipzig," she said. Leipzig is in the heart of the Soviet zone of Germany. Miss Davis said she was the first American entertainer to sing for occupation troops in Austria. She visited relatives in Czechoslovakia and says her feeling when she left the Red dorhinated country would match what a prisoner feels when he is released from jaiL '"It was almost as if I cou'J hear prison gates closing behind me." she said. Miss Davis, daughter oi band leader Meyer Davis, said the only time she had to use h?rU. S. passport was when she Tlew into f 1 3 them aU. Conceiving an original the cottage, even with name for all the Indian legends about the locality to call iroon, wasn't as ea?y as they thought. One evening in January th? Sed leys held a party, and amen? those present was Ed Curtis and his wife. Ed was the sort of chap who knew everything and lived on his wits and was quite smug. When he heard about the Sedley's difficulty in thinking up a name for their cottage, he called them to or.e side. tl've just the name for your place," he confided. "It fits. It couldn't be better. You'll like it." "Tell us!" Jessie cried eagerly. Ed cleared his throat. "Well look," he said. "As you know, I'm in advertising. Things a:e rather bad. Er would just the right name be worth $50 to you?" "You bet it would." Derry said-"I-.Iy brafn's gone lame trying to figure one out. Ee a big relief." "O. K." said Ed. "Here goes. How about 'The Birches'?" Jessie and Derry stared at each other. "The Birches." Good lord, was that it? Why any ere could think of that. It was the most com mon name in the world. No, the name they gave their cottage weu.d have to be much more original. Lord, Ed must think they were a couple of dumbheads not to have thought of that. Ar.d he was sup posed to be so bright and original! Ed grinned and shrugged and said O. K. And the Sedleys went back to their thinking again. The winter passed and summer came again and they moved back to the cottage. "Eut they hadn't a name. They tried all summer to think of. one, asking friends, fashioning let ters into queer words on sheets cf paper, tsut no name seemea io iii or satisfy. At length, in desperation, Jessie said: "Oh, Derry. let's rot think any more. Let's use "The irchc. There just isn't any ether name that fits." So they decided on "The Birches." The more they thought about it the less common it be came, the more glamorous and cute. In December of that year Derry , received a bill from Edward Curt is, advertising agency: "One title for summer cottage: 50." He : stared at it ar.d anger warmed his bleed. Who did Ed Curtis think he was? Why, any dope could think up a name like that. Why Derry reachrd for his check bcok. chuckling. "The sonuvagun!" he thought. "Ed knew eventually we'd use that name, because it docs fit. and he merely took a monopoly on it by suggesting it to us. And we said he wasn't smart! My!" CAR' TUNES relational air when the showed world citizenship passport to a U. S. cus terns official, he just grunted. -World citizen, huh'' We don't believe in -that stuff."
