(Yiiletide Cards on Ration List;
Tree Shortage Also Expected
For several years now the adage, “Do Your Christmas Shop
ping Early” has been told to buyers of gifts, but this yuletide
the warning may even apply to the item most often sent at
Chrretmas^me—-the Christmas card.
Usually door-to-door sales of cards are highly competitive,
but this year most Eugene stores and salesmen are keeping
quiet; hoping that their stocks will hold out, Will Lindlev, Em

and magazines -have already felt
the..paper shortage and now it
has come to the Christmas card.
Salesmen here report that there
is an unusually heavy demand

orders are being declined.
Local stationers are using vari

The Co-op has done its Christ

largest supply of cards and the
biggest variety in years, M. F.

ly announced. _ . .—
Fortunately service men over

holiday greetings for they came
under the earlier mailing dead
lines when cards were plehtiful.
These Trees Get Around
Unless Santa Claus can per
form a miracle shortages will
dominate the Christmas scene.
Trees will be scarce and high
priced outside of. immediate
areas where they are grown,
mainly because, few cutters are
Wording in the forests.
Orders from as far away as
Texas have come for Oregon fir
and , sprupe- trees. Californians
hauling fruit to the Northwest
are popeful of carrying back a
full load of trees.
Look at the Time Saved
Most stores have only last
year’s left-over stock of tree dec
orations. No new string lights
have been manufactured since
war restrictions were clamped
down and no replacement tree
lights available.
But there’s one thing to be hap
py about—there will be no more
screwing and unscrewing of light
bulbs up and down the string to
find that light that went out.
