Thus by checking up on Santa's performance last vear we can now give you the approxi mate odds on how you will make out with this year's requests. An Aute in Your Stocking? If Santa doesn't mind, let's sort through some of his teen-aged mail and see what the chances are of delivery by Christmas. Girls, did you ask for a new or used car in your stocking? Not many did last year, only 2 per cent, but one out of four of these wound up behind the wheel on Christmas morning. Not a bad record for Santa on such a high priced item. Boys did even better. Five per cent asked for cars and four out of 10 had their automotive dreams come true. What's the most popular gift on Santa's list? Last year, for girls, it was pocket books, lingerie and sweaters: 35 per cent asked for them and 40 per cent received them. Boys were a little more di versified in their requests, but the top items were radios and phono graphs, with 21 per cent asking and g per cent receiving, and pen and pencil sets, with 20 per cent asking and 14 per cent receiving. This means four out of 10 wound up with either a radio or phono graph, if they asked for it, and 7 out of 10 got their pen and pencil sets.

In the home, as a child, my first recollection of Christmas tree lighting came with myriads of small, colored, wax candles. Din ned or clamped to the branches of the tree by small tin clamps or stick-pins. While the general ef fect was very beautiful, the often precariously tilted candles with their dripping wax was highly has- ardous to say the least. This form of lighting was replaced at a later date by strings of electric lights as we now know them While, in my estimation, they do not present nearly so fairyland like an appearance as the older method, they are much safer, and are now gradually being fashioned easier to drape about the tree, and witn less severity YEARS AGO, I do not seem to remember that much, if any, out of-door lighting was used.

Flood lights, too, are used most effectively to eenter at tention on certain outdoor decora tions or are used in a very large room to highlight a large tree, imitation forest, scene, etc. Commercial Christmas lichtins. I believe, is now done entirely through the use of electricity from tne smau, lighted window trees or figures to the gigantic arross-the- street decorations. This, of course, supplemented by the use of plas tic, glass, metal, cellophane and other materials. At any rate both present day home and commercial lighting is a far. far cry from the day of the small, wax candle and the rarollera making their way from door to door by lantern light. But. lo. the star of Bethlehem. shining bavely to show the way so many years ago. was the bright est of them all. Aialea Garden Club The next meeting of the Azalea Garden Club is scheduled Tues day, Jan. 8, at the home of Mrs. Ida Edson. according to corres pondent Mrs. Gerald B. Fox of Glendale.

MOVI IT TOMORROW J CAN ADA Nl353 1 New Bridge Over Willamette In Portland Needed PORTLAND 11 Specifications of the new federal highway pro gram will force the Oregon High way Commission to make drastic changes in planning for routes in Portland. W. C. Williams, state engineer, in reporting this to the commis sion meeting here, said C. S. Highways 99 and 30 must be tied together and this will make nec essary a new bridge across the Willamette River. He said the ex isting bridges are not up to fed eral standards. The commission delayed action on two projects, a proposed addi tional bridge on U. S. Highway 99W between McMinnville and St. Joseph under-crossing and a pro posed 23-mile cutoff between Elsie and Mohler, in Clatsop County. Commissioners awarded these contracts: J. C. Compton.

Soap or glass wax pic tures or greetings are commonly used, drawn directly on the pane, to be read from the outisde of the window. OTHER FORMS of Christmas lighting consist of electrical light ing under the projecting eaves of a home, and by the use of electrical ly lighted designs placed on roof tops, on the lawn or outside a door. These are usually made of plywood or wire in appropriate de signs such as Santa and his rein deer, rarollers, religious motifs, huge candles, overs ired candy canes, etc. These designs are sometimes gayly painted, or are sometimes done in pastel shades or entirely in wnite Another form of decoration that has come to the fore during the past few years is the use of mo biles with their graceful, never ending motions. These add much originality and create animation to a room. Even old flash bulbs home of Mrs. Lucille Smith near Glendale. Mrs. Ruby Gilbreath and Mrs. Grace Powelson served cake, coffee and cookies. A gift exchange was held at the end of the meeting. $1.300 .000 was found in its accounts. The deposits of some 8.500 resi dents in this Catskill Mountain re sort area were frozen. William Rose, 51, head of the old bank, is held in $35,000 bail in con nection with the shortage. He de nies any personal gain, contend ing he was only trying to help local Business. Federal authorities last week gave an organising committee per mission to reopen the bank under a revised management if they raised the necessary $1,050, 000 by i p.m. today. That goal was oversubscribed by more than $40, 000 by 5 p.m. yesterday. CANADA SELLS JETS OTTAWA I Canada an nounced Wednesday the sale of 225 SabrejeU to West Germany.
