Santa Branded As "Unholy Fraud" By Catholic Review WASHINGTON OB Is the Jolly old man with the heard and the little round belly stealing the Christmas show from the babe in the manger? The Catholic Review says yes. And the Review official publi :ation of the Catholic archdioceses jf Washington and Bnltimore thinks it's about time Simla Claus was booted off the stage. "Our Santa has become a rival of the Holy Child, often enough to the complete exclusion of the latler from any place in the minds of children who learn about the reindeer but have never heard of the ox and the ass," snvs an editorial published today In the Review's Christmas issue. The eiitorlal was captioned "Unholy Fraud." It adds that "the whole Santa Idea Is bad psychology and bad For Christmas Sprinklln' Sambo Mid n(lrly of tt .

It describes Santa as "a foolish fiction." It urges "those who want to keep Christ In Christmas, or at least are willing to give him back the place he deserves on his birthday" to leave Santa to those who Tiave nothing better." "Sana the saint has been lost in Santa the sugar daddy," it adds. "Children are to be good or they won't get paid with pres ents a fine specimen of thor oughly unchristian morality." The Review sees a danger to respect for parental authority In the lime when Junior first Is told j that the man with the bag is only umiuy aressea up. It also has a word for the man Inside the Santa suit: "It may be hard on those who play the part of the benevolent old plxle to forego the pleasure of donning whiskers and oversized red flan nels. We have often suspected that Santa was a source of more pleasure to the grown-ups than to the children." N. Y. City Mayor O'Dwyer To Wed Sloan Simpson NEW YORK.

Christmas Means Molasses Cookies By GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Staff Writer With molasses, eggs and cook ing fats all on the plentiful list and with the Christmas season just beginning, this certainly is cookie-making time. Let's begin with molasses cut out cookies, using this tested reci pe and cut out stars, angels, Christmas trees, etc., or some of the new plastic cookie forms. To save time and fuel, use two baking sheets with low sides or no sides at all to insure even browning each about 2 inches smaller than the oven. One sheet of cookies can be baking while the other one Is being filled. Before rolling, chill dough in refrigerator to permit handing of dough wthout adding more flour. When rolling, work with half or less of the dough at a time, keeping remainder in re frigerator until needed. Flour rolling pin and board lightly only enough to keep dough from sticking. Dip cutter In flour each time to prevent sticking. Cut cookie shapes close together, to get as many as possible from the first rolling of the dough: rerolled dough does not make as tender cookies. Using a spatula, care- tuiiy nit tne cut cookies irom board to baking sheet. Adjust oven to temperature specified. Molasses cookies burn easily. If cookies are not brown enough In center, yet done around edges, put them about 5 to b lncnes below broiler name until right color is obtained watching constantly. Remove from baking sheet with a spatula: place them to cool on a ware cake rack in a single lay er. When completely cooled, pack in alr-tlgnt boxes or in cookie jar, with waxed paper between the layers. Keep tightly covered. For Christmas gifts, pack in flat boxes and wrap each cookU In aluminum foil or waxed pa per and fill box with shredded colored paper or cellophone. Molasses Cut-Out Cookies One-half cud shortening, i cud sugar, 2-3 cup New Orleans type molasses, 1 egg, 2 J-4 cups sifted all-purpose flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, i teaspoon salt, 11 teaspoons allspice. Slowly melt shortening; cool. Add sugar, molasses, eggs; belt well. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and allspice; add to first mixture; mix well. Roll in waxed paper; chill. Cookies hold shape better if rolled and cut on greased and lightly floured baking sheet instead of rolling on a board and transferring to baking sheet. Roll dough evenly t lnch thtck. Dust cut-out cookie pattern lightly with flour to prevent sticking: lay pattern on douch and cut around pattern with knife. Lift excess dough from around cookie shapes. Decorate with red cinnamon drops, silver candles, and vari-colored candy sprinkles. nane in mooorateiv not oven (375 degrees F.) 10 'to 12 mln- Have YOU tried the new JET-RAY WAVE? wave that gives the softness plus the body of a heat wave.
