Choose "Happy" Toys—from a rubber ball to a shiny new bicycle—are a part of growing up and the child without a toy or two—or two dozen—at Christmas is a forlorn tot indeed. Most youngsters will open their gifts Christmas morning and have a large time getting acquainted with their new toys. But in all too many households across the nation, the toys themselves will dim the happy Christmas season, by causing accidents and injuries. Here are a few simple tips to guide you in selecting safe toys: —Beware of small toys that can be swallowed, flammable toys and toys with rough or sharp edges. —Avoid toys made of lead or colored with lead-based paints—the swallowing of pois- onous amounts of lead by child- ren who chew that paint off can cause illness, —Baby's toys should be too large to put in the mouth, washable, lightweight and non - brittle. Gian Carlo Menotti's opera, "Amahl and the Night Visi- tors," was inspired by the story of the Three Kings of Orient. Help Him Leap Into Leisure At Christmas A man can leap into leisure feet -first this Christmas with a gift of casual shoes. Because men have more time on their hands as work hours de- crease, and women are always looking for new gift ideas — the shoe industry has multiplied the number of styles and colors in footwear for after -work and week -ends. Brushed leathers in colors that range from golden stag and brick red to loden green and rust brown supply a bright color accent to conservative sports jackets and slacks. Smooth finishes used principally in con- servative and dressy casual shoes. In the smooth or grain- ed casuals, black and brown are still the major colors in both slip-on and tie styles. Popular winter week -end casuals include new slip-ons with elastic goring hidden in- side the tongue or visible at the sides to make the shoes snug but easy to put on. Some styles are dressed up with a half-inch band of smooth leather around the collar, while others sub- stitute a full collar of elasti- cized leather for the conven- tional gore. In line with the trend to dressier, more conservative leisure and sportswear, casual shoes favor trim soles which keep a neat, smart outline for the life of the shoe. In the most casual styles a one- piece sole and heel can actual- ly be bent double in the hand. A cushioned insole and light- weight lining add to the com- fort of these shoes. At-home shoes -- not to be confused with soft slippers -- have firm soles and cushioned insoles. They can be worn any number of hours without foot strain. Included are low slip- ons or high boot styles in glove -soft deerskin and cow- hide. Suntan is the most pop- ular color, but there are many others, from cordovan and wal- nut to jet black. If he's hard to fit -- or hard to please, you can obtain a shoe gift certificate at his fa- vorite shoe store. To person- alize your holiday gift, wrap the certificate in a pair of loud argyle socks. &66tTet ektityytaa) Each year, in the prepara- tion for—and enjoyment of— Christmas holidays, too many of us become careless about fire hazards. As a result, hun- dreds of unnecessary fires occur during each holiday season, many of them resulting in hum- an tragedy, all of them inflict- ing property damage. For a fire -safe Christmas in your home remember that trees, lights and decorations are all fire hazards and follow these rules: Trees: Pick a fresh -cut tree —one whose needles don't shed freely. Keep it in water until it is brought into the house, keep it in water as long as it's in the house. Support it well, and never locate it where it might cut off your escape in the event of fire. Take it out of the house just as soon as possible after Christmas. Lights: Check lighting sets for frayed wires, loose connec- tions and broken sockets. Never use candles on or near the tree. Make sure tree lights are turned off before going to bed or leav- ing the house. Use only weath- er proof equipment for outdoor lighting and keep power off when making adjustments. Decorations, wrappings: Use only non-combustible or " flame - proofed" decoration materials. Dispose of gift wrappings promp- tly. And: Watch your smoking habits around the tree—a light- ed cigarette or match can start if burning. Most of all, plan in advance what you must do for the life safety of your fam- ily in case of fire.

The symbols of Christmas — the robin, Santa Claus, holly, mistletoe and carolers — first became popular on cards of the Victorian era. 4olon ia- /4,,i r iC Y.' hristmasi.1=- Today in Williamsburg, re- stored capital of Colonial Vir- ginia, the visitor can turn back the calendar two centuries and celebrate Christmas much as the colonists did—according to the customs which they had brought from England. Christmas in Colonial Wil- liamsburg was primarily a holy day and churches and homes were decorated with greens. Candles burned in the windows to welcome carolers and the Yule log burned brightly upon the hearth. There were public celebra- tions. Musicians played special concerts, and fireworks and cannon were exploded. Feast- ing, of the groaning board variety, was in order with dishes of roasted fowl and hare, marrow pudding, ham, oysters, sausage. shellfish, often capped by while roast boar on a platter. A few gifts were exchanged as part of the celebration, but not nearly on the present-day scale.

An early English legend sug- gests that bees were the first Christmas carolers, gathering on Christmas Eve to hum carols of praise to the Holy infant. It is certain that carol popu- larity was greatly promoted by the English custom of "was- sailing" or "gooding" expedi- tions. Children went from house to house, singing songs and receiving treats. Traditional songs gave way to new Christmas carols, which themselves became traditional. About the year 1521 Wynkn de Word, an apprentice printer, is- sued the first hook of Christmas carols. Later, carols were so popular that people learned them from printed copies which sold for pennies. Something Can Be Done For Arthritic By Science Features Contrary to what many peo- ple believe, there is much that can be done to help the millions suffering from arthritic and rheumatic diseases, according to one of the nation's leading medical research authorities. Dr. John R, Mote of New York, an independent medical consultant and supervisor o f many research projects in the health and drug field, de- clared that be - 1 cause there is no cure for t these diseases, many people are not taking advantage o f the various treatments available to them. Dr. Mote, who has been inter- ested in these diseases for more than 20 years, said that while there is no cure for arthritis and rheumatism, there are sev- eral types of treatment which can relieve pain and muscle spasm in varying degrees in many of the eleven million Americans suffering from these diseases. "This relief from pain and muscle spasm, even though temporary, is very important in helping these people main- tain their daily activities. If we can help a patient live more comfortably and effectively, we have accomplished a great deal," Dr. Mote explained. Researchers have had vary- ing degrees of success in help- ing patients increase daily ac- tivities t hr o u g h the use of drugs which counteract inflam- mation and pain, gold treat- ment, large doses of salicylates, heat and massage therapy, and exercise under medical supervi- sion. Any one or a combination of these methods relieves pain in many arthritic patients. Dr. Mote stated that entire groups of products have condemned, some of which vide relief to arthritic and 1' uratic disease patients. "A many such products are wo less, I believe that, by in once, people are discou from using those which been medically proven to b value," he said. For example, he pointed that a top research team w ing at one of the nation's 1 ing hospitals dedicated to treatment of arthritic dise recently completed a stud which cyclo -massage equip by Niagara was tested to both hospital and hone -use ditions on a group of ad suffering from chronic r nlatoid arthritis. The study revealed that use of cyclo -massage they on chronic rheumatoid aril les, was proven to he sin sate and effective in the c studied.
