DEBT PAYER PETER Peter Lawford is a man who pays his debts. He proved it by showing up on the set of "Little Women" with five cartons of cigarettes of wvar- jous brands tucked under his arm He opened the boxes and invited the crew to help themselves. During the production of the picture, Lawford is never shown smoking. Nor could be carry cig: arettes for a quick puff between scenes, for his costumes were such that even the smallest package would have registered a bulge. As a result, crew members had to him with smokes. The cartons' were to pay back the cigarettes he had borrowed.

MUSIC ALBUM Irven Fell The Christmas season, with all 1s pleasures, not the least of these being the music, is with us again. Those responsible for the dis- pensing of Christmas music, main- ly the church choirs will, as usual, be giving ample opportunity to all who attend church, to hear the beautiful music of this season. Of all the festivities of the year, none provides such tuneful music as Christmas. Most of it is in the form of carols, and simplicity is the theme. However, there is music which could be considered grand and glorious, but it mostly the simple carols which' will be sung the world over. I do not want to sermonize, but you know there are scoffers who deride such things as "Peace on Barth, Goodwill Towards Men." Maybe it should read, "Peace on LATEST IN TURBANS &- 'ar is business party, showed his goodwill towards his| nual factory fellow man that he would be a man | for the moment, at any of goodwill? difference in position will be In any event, the music and |forsotten all words will be sung, and the sin-| Families will get together cerest will be from the little child-|around the piano and sing carol ren.
