It is a good idea for mother to be very active in this business of every day picture taking. And for more than one reason. The first, and most important is that she is home more than any other adult member of the family and has a better opportunity to picture the appealing little scenes that take place day after day in any household which includes children. A second reason is that father gets into the album, too. You know, I've seen some books of snapshots which made it appear that the family was fatherless. Father was always behind the camera, seldom if ever in the picture The only trick to getting these appealing every day pictures, just as they happen, is to keep the camera handy and have film in it at all times. If the camera is tucked away, on the top shelf of a closet in a bedroom upstairs, these backyard pictures just won't be taken. --John Van Guilder Write Santa Glaus 08wSiiit«l note Page 1 inl a doti buggy for Dale you.

The work is being done by the Illinois Department of Public Health, the Morgan County Health Department and the Morgan County Medical society. Preliminary testa of this vaccine on adults indicate that it can stimulate the formation of antibodies against the three types of polio virus. The study now being carlied on in Morgan county is to determine whether it will stimulate antibodies in children. Only a limited number of children are being used in this study, because of the highly detailed and ^expensive laboratory work involved. When It comee to aending Christmas cards, there are no ironclad rules. Yet, a smattering of uncertainty keeps most of us rocking about in the same boat. Ask your neighbors "Why?" and the chances are you'll learn something like thia .... Nobody likes to lick stamps. The hard-working mailman rates universal sympathy. And then there's the matter of perfecting a system. Getting down to cases, there are two ways to lick the stamp problem. A damp sponge, or a bowl of ifee cubes. Either will save your tongue need'ess wear and tear. As for the men In gray, they send their share of Christmas cards, too. Ask one and see. Probably he'll quip, "Yes, but I mail mine early in December. Why don't you?" It's the "system" which must be worked out with fortitude and depth of character. Take Mr. and Mrs. Quinby Schuyler, who legends credit with the very nearest thing to an IBM card index. One evening recently the Schuylerswere pruning their Christmas card list. Mrs. Schuyler began, "The John Abels." "Abel, John and Hillary," her husband confirmed after checking the A-file. "They've sent Christmas cards since 1946, and five of them were displayed on our mantelpiece." "That's a fine record," Mrs. Schuyler beamed. "It's makes them a definite must. Next is Anderson d-- Bay, Alice 1an children." • Mr. Schuyler paused for a moment, "I don't know about them. For two straight years their card has arrived after Christmas, and It looks like they're waiting to see if we'll send one." "Hold on there!" his practical spouse exclaimed. 'Til check the even-steven file. Hmmm. This year they've had us to four dinners and an anniversary party, and we only asked them to one •• nil 1"M"H M4+-H HM-'M'I I H SiH XMAS FEATHER fcr ROYAL INN 'jp McCullom Lake PARTY • v SATURDAY DEC 19th V Thor«t«n 8e Bernice Bjork Everyone Invited •<•<'4 i <"1 I i I I 1 I' l' i'H S I 1 t"fr4-£ THE BIGGE$| VALUE r in Christmas Cards 'BIG VALUE" teg , 22 cards $1.00 'WWFTY' 25 cards $1.00 mi*ed poker game. Better ssftd them a fifty-center, and go On to the Bradya." Mr. Schuyler agreed, and began whistling "White Christmas." After some study he grunted, 'Tve always liked Brady, but the record shows they only aend Christmas cards in even years. Since 1953 b an odd year, I'll just stop injat his office and slap him on tye back." Needless to say, the Schuyler system will not win Mends and Influence people. But common sense will. Good taste in selecting, mailing and keeping your Christmas oards attractive is another important goal at which to shoot. • So start with your address book. Bringing it up-to-date is the first step. That . means checking for the full name, street and number, city, none and state. The zone number is especially important when Christmas cards are mailed at the eleventh hour. With this done, youll at least know how many Xmaa cards, are needed, and where they should go. Addresses may be typewritten, but it's a lot more personal to use a fountain pen. Nothing fancy is expected. Just write or print as neatlv as you can. Abbreviations and 'tasty, illegible scribbling often cause delays in delivery. Col. for Colorado may be read as Cfrl for 'California. Nicknames ate another bottleneck, for they seldom appear on mailboxes. Etiquette and postal authorities agree that "First class friends deserve first class mail." Translated literally, this means three cent stamps. It also means your Christmas' cards will be forwarded or returned, if necessary, and they may carry the brief written messages so many people like to add. Theoretically -- let's face it-- there's nothing to thia business of signing a Christmas card. Unmm i ld|. you're married or would like the signature imprinted. And that leaves quite a chunk of the nation for whom it's perfectly proper to sign Tom or Mary. What's more, the exceptions noted need trouble no one. Am married couples the correct custom is for the one signing to put her or his name last When im<- printed or engraved, the' algnap ture properly begins with the wife's name. If there are children, however, Dad's name should come first, with the youngsters listed according to age.. .Last names should be omitted, but may be given in family signatures, whether imprinted or written in ink, or when more identification is needed. Titles such as "Mr." and "Miss" are used today only on formal engraved cards--and naturally the envelope address. The trend is overwhelmingly towards a gay but thoughtful informality. To make your Christmas greetings even more personal, there are family-style cards. The designs may picture a Gay Nineties couple or Mr. and Mrs. Snowman accompanied by one, two or three children. One. pictures a anowrovered house, with a space for printing your own address. From these and countless other, nostalgic touches the 1953 Christmas cards give new meaning to Charles Dickens" familiar words --"Christmas messages are a great accumulation of friendly recollections." • tone J**? have •' modulated all-over __v flare. 4m{i sleeve Oat give comtarf * --* - hit ef detail In ttek Cur W1M Places Ridged by chain* of aetfve volearns, narts of Indonesia are still among the wildest places on earth, hjhablted hy peonies seldom if ever *iM>ed by outsiders.
