This issue of the NEWS is full of
gift ideas for every member of the
family. Check through the values of

make this weekend “Christmas gift
buying time.”
A good night’s sleep just before
Christmas would be more appreciat

the woman’s viewpoint—
TAIN T LONG NOW
With Christmas not even three
weeks off, it is probable the boxes of
decorations have been dragged down
from the attic or in from the garage,
Christmas card lists have been gone
over and the needed amounts of cards
purchased, gift lists made out and
buying begun—probable, that is, in
the families with foresight, who re
member how exhausted they were
last year when details of shopping
were left until the final week of
Christmas, and poor, harassed Mom
sat up all night to get the cards add
ressed in time for the mail of the
24th.
Valley merchants plug the old
theme “do your Christmas shopping
early.” They are not thinking only
of themselves, believe it or not, (al
though their clerks do find last min
ute shoppers a nightmare) they real
ly have the interests of John Q. at
heart. They realize how much more
fun the holiday season is when fam
ilies have planned ahead, shopped
ahead and can enter into the spirit of
Christmas relaxed and not shopping-
weary.
Too, stores are at their merchan
dise peak right now. Shelves are
chock-full and selection is great. But
the day before Christmas will find
those same shelves not nearly as ap

We forgot to mention in the above
epistle the fact that families should
cooperate with these gift purchas
ing expeditions.
Mom, Pop and all the young ones
should descend upon the stores, list
in hand, agree immediately and ec
statically over each item considered,
find it within the realm of the bud
get, and in such a way complete with
no effort the entire Christmas list
just like that. . .swish!
However, there may be among
the families a few males and youths
who believe the role of Santa belongs
solely to Mom, and Mom must be the
stalwart person who makes up the
lists, searches for just the right thing
for Aunt Marne, adjusts the budget
to cover all the extra expenses, and
staggers home —alone— with the
fruits of her day’s toil.
It is “right and proper” for an
editorial to suggest a constructive
solution for the problem at hand.
Taking some of the load off Mom’s
shoulders is a big problem and de
mands a big solution, and frankly,
this writer can’t fill the bill.
The only suggestion to offer here
is for Moms everywhere to sudden
ly contract some rare, but painless,
disease for which the only cure is
complete rest and freedom from wor
ries for exactly the next 20 days.
But who could find a doctor to pres
cribe a cure like that!?

The first offer of a position in

that Governor McKay proffered
