MAS! MAY IT BRING YOU
Traffic accidents during Christ­
mas weeks in Oregon during the
last three years have taken a toll of
24 lives Secretary of State Bob
Farrell said today in urging Ore­
gonians to drive and walk more
carefully to avoid these tragic holi-
' day deaths.
Suggesting that Oregon “declare
a holiday on hoT 'ay accidents.”
Farrell aid the majority of the
holiday fatalities in this state in­
volve pedestrians struck when they
inadvertently placed themselves in
dangerotis positions in traffic.
"Inattention to traffic, due to
preoccupation with holiday mat-
| tei s or to careless haste has result-
. ed in many holiday tragedies dur­
ing the past few years," he said.
“These accidents can be prevent­
ed through the exercise of ordin­
ary caution and consideration for
the rights of others. Let's declare
a holiday on holiday accidents this
year.’’
Farrell listed these suggestions
i for avoiding holiday hazards:
1. When shopping, don't over­
load your arms with packages. This
practice restricts vision while
crossing the streets.
2. Never cross streets between
Intel sections. When in a hurry to
reach a certain store, remember
the dangi rs of jaywalking and take
time to walk to the nearest inter­
section.
3. When entering or leaving a
parked car, use the door on the
curb side, not the door on the
street side. Persons attempting to
enter their car on the street side
with their arms full of packages
have been struck by passing cars.
Alighting on the street side also
has resulted in accidents.
4. When waiting for the light
to change at signalized intersec-
tions, wait on the curb, not in the
street. Cars making right turns
constitute a hazard for persons
standing a few feet from the curb,
especially if those persons are car­
rying packages and fail to see the
approaching car.

CARD OF THANKS
Even Santa Claus is smiling at the
general hilarity occasioned by his
visit to a naval training station. The
recruits in front of the barracks
may be many miles from home, but
they're still celebrating Christmas
with as much enthusiasm as ever.
Family Reunions
Areù ule Custom
Christmas is a homey time. Fam­
ily dinner parties and reunions are
a traditional part of the holiday sea­
son in America, and this year more
than ever we will be celebrating
Christmas at home.
You can add a festive note to
these family get-togethers by turning
them into Christmas parties. Don't
plan anything elaborate—just think
up some simple invitations and a
game or two. Regular Christmas
decorations will provide the setting
For the invitations cut out paper
snow balls, Santa Clauses or Christ­
mas trees and write or print the in­
vitation in ink of a contrasting color
Or buy small candy canes and at­
tach a red pope- tag with the invi­
tation in white ink. If you’re am­
bitious you might try writing a verse
for these invitations.
From ordinary paper bags you
can make party hats ar.d head bands
for the guests. Turn the top edge
of the bag back in a roll until the
“hat” is the right height, Paint or
paste a Christmas design on these
hats and they will be ready and
waiting for the party. For the head­
bands cut strips of paper bag 2*i
inches wide and decorate with gold
stars, paper Christmas trees, holly,
poinscttias, or cotton snowmen.
Games.
Christmas Toy Introductions.
When the members of the group are
not acquainted with each other, this
game will work out very nicely. Give
each person a small tag on which
has been written the name of some
toy or object or subject of Christ­
mas. On the back of each of these
tags are written commands such as
“Introduce yourself to Teddy Bear "
“See that the train meets the wag­
on.” “Discuss the price of eggs
with the top " These cards must be
prepared beforehand and arranged
so that everyone keeps moving about
introducing and being introduced to
each other.
“Tip.”—An English Game used at
Christmas Time. Have nuts, can­
dies. popcorn balls, etc., piled in
center of table. One player leaves
the room and the others select an
object as “Tip ” The absent play­
er is called into the room and selects
an object. He must avoid "Tip”
and may have anything he gets. If
Tip" is chosen he loses his
and must forfeit anything he
already won. A new “Tip” is
sen each time a player leaves
A Popcorn Relay—This is lots of
fun
Divide contestants into two
groups. At one end of the room are
fastened the ends of two long strings
of very strong linen thread with a
needle on each of the other ends,
stuck in a stationary cork lying on
a table beside two bowls of popcorn
with exactly the same number of
kernels in each Each player threads
a kernel of corn on the string ar.d
runs with it to the other end of
the room. The contest continues un­
til one bowl is emptied by a team.
Greeting Contest. Write out the
well-known poem, The Night Be­
fore Christmas." on slips of paper,
one line to a slip Separate the odd
lines from the even l.nes, and give
the odd slips to the men and the
even ones to the women. Read the
poem and annojnee that each play­
er is to find the person holding the
line that rhymes with his. The part­
ners are then given pencil and paper
and told to write as many forms of
Christmas greetings as they can in
five minutes. The winning couple
receives a peppermint candy cane.
Some of these suggestions for
Christmas fun have been taken from
The Christmas Bonk, by Margjer.te
Ickis, a compilation of background
materials and suggestions for cele­
brating Christmas The material in­
cludes interesting facts about Christ­
mas customs in other lands, ideas
for parties and social activities, mu­
sic, drama, decorations, and refresh­
ments The book is available for 50
cents from the National Recreation
Association, 315 Fourth Avenue, New
York City.
