ILLINOIS BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY Christmas Decorations The special efforts of bringing a more Christmas like feeling to the outside of the home as well as the inside is certainly apparent in the neighborhood. Wreaths are being placed on doors, carolers and Santa's stand outside, lights outline porches and doors, and candles glow from windows. The lighting of the large outside Christmas tree on Pleasant street is now becoming a tradition that is looked forward to each year. " Old-timers will remember when Mr. and Mrs. Ray Biesecker planted that evergreen the year they moved out here. At planting time, bac^c in 1939, the tree was only five feet tall and twenty- eight lights covered it. Since then it has continued to ,grow until this year it needed one hundred anil thirty-four lights to send out its Christmas message. Atop this land mark, Ray and Josephine added something new this year, a bright star. In case you are a new-comer to Lilymoor, you may wonder how the Bieseckers get this tree decorated. To those of you familiar to the family, you know it is quite an occasion requiring many hands.

NEW "HISTORY IN* EYEGLASS" EXHIBIT AT SCIENCE MUSEUM Museum goers are "looking through" 177 years of history at a new exhibit of eyeglasses opened last week at the Museum of Science and Industry, 57th and South Shore drive. The exhibit, called "History ' in Eyeglasses," consists of fifty pairs of antique, unusual and up-to-date spectacles loaned to *the Museum by the Uhlemann Opticle cftmpany, Chicago. The spectacles are displayed in chrpnologicai order to show the technical and style evolution of today's sleek and comfortable eyewear from the crude seeing aids of the past. The oldest pair of glasses in the exhibit was worn in 1779 by an aide of Gen. George Washington. Also on display are a pair of primitive bifocals made the way Benjamin Franklin invented them, Chinese folding glasses from about .1825, a massive silver-handled 19th century English lorgnette', a tiny gold-framed pair of blue glasses made for a doll in 1860, a solid gold frame worn by Theodore Roosevelt and a contemporary frame with heavily jeweled templ^k that extend tiara-style over the coiffure. Significant in optical history is a German pair of glasses, one of the first to be made with curved rather than flat lens surfaces. Other eyeglass developments, noted by Museum visitors, include construction of nose bridges, shape and positioning of lenses, use of materials, and devices for holding glasses to the head. 1956 FARMERS' TAX GUIDE IS NOW AVAILABLE DRIVE WITH CARE!
