Bahson Discusses Xmas Shopping Babson Park, Mass.. Nov. 29. I have just returned from Boston, where I attempted to do some Christmas Shopping. To tell the truth, I did not buy anything, but spent the entire day comparing the quality and prices of the var ious goods offered. As a result, I am now giving readers some good, sound advice. Where To Buy My home is about fifteen miles from Boston. Not only are there many suburban towns around Bos ton, but I motor about consider ably and visit various small cities in New England. I find that one gets as good values and as low prices by making purchases in Northern small cities and towns as in the big cities. Of course, this may not be true in all state but 1 am sure it applies to Maasa- chusetts. Take Gloucester, for in stance, a city of 25,000, where my summer home is. Down there the other day I found better Christ- mos goods for less money than could be secured in Boston. Therefore, my first suggestion is that you purchase your Christ mas goods where you live. You often get better values by buying from home people whom you know. Moreover, you have the privilege of making returns and of getting replacements in the case of break age which you may not get when dealing with green clerks with whom you are not personally ac quainted. Quality And Prices Many big city stores are putting out a tremendous amount of junk this year. Department managers have been told that anything over a year old must be marked down to $1 in the stocktaking which will occur after Christmas. Hence, these managers are striving to get rid of the old stock and especially the adulterated and erstaz goods made during the War. Your friends will never thank you for any of this shoddy material. In sist upon quality or else give your friends a check or certificate which they can use next year for better goods. Now, as to prices; I venture the forecast that Christmas prices will be the highest this year of any Christmas for many years to come. There h^ve ''ten pi Ice cel’ ings dur ing the past few years on most of the goods in the stores. Now, these price ceilings have been taken off within the past three weeks. Many merchants have jumped at the opportunity to mark up goou. for the Christmas trade. They real ize that it is their one chance; yes, their last chance; to cash in at high prices. Therefore, I pre dict that after Christmas this country will see the greatest mark-downs in history. Why Not Give Money? In view of the above, it seems as if cash is perhaps the best pres ent we can give those whom we truly consider our friends. Hence, the purchase of an attractive Christmas card with a check or dollar bill enclosed should be the most welcomed by a wise recip ient. This will enable your friend to select what he or she wishes after the turn of the year at mark down sales or else wait until the new, good-quality goous comes on the market. Now, a word to parents who have reached the age of the writ er: The only two things of which we are absolutely sure are: (1) We are going to die before many years and (2) there will be a "death tax" on our estate running from 15-50 per cent according to how much money we leave to our wife, children or others. Y'ET, W E CAN G IVE $3,000 TO EACH OF THESE PERSONS TH IS CHRISTMAS AND EVERY FOLLOW ING CHRISTMAS W ITH O U T PA Y IN G A P E N N Y OF TA X . I know it is difficult for us who have worked hard and been thrifty to give away $3,000 a year to each of our child ren,—yes .awful hard! But if we have any sense we will do it even if we keep the money locked up so that the kids can’t spend it until after our funeral! One More Suggestion I have a grandson who is away to school. When I asked him what he wanted for Christmas, he said. "Grandpa I would like a subscrip tion to our home newspaper." This seemed very sensible on the part of the boy and certainly it is an easy way for me to select a Christ mas present for him. I wonder if every reader of this column has n’t some children. relatives or friends who would appreciate a subscription to the newspaper in which you read this advice. C'uh Scout Pack T o Meet Dec. 3 A lively Cub Scout pack meet ing was planned Monday evening. November 25 at a Committeeman s m ating. It will be held Tuesday December 3 at 7 30 p.m at the Grade School.

After the meetng was called to or der by our P.T.A president, Mis. W. North. Miss Stephens talked to the parents and friends present. As she spoke. Miss Stephens pass ed among the audience, many books to be inspected that she thought would be o f interest to all. There were books for every age group and acquainted everyone present with new ideas for read ing. Miss Stephens emphasized that the family that reads togeth er, holds together. Also she said, "become acquainted with the world thru books, for, by knowing the world, we can best know how to keep the peace.” She said, “the shaping of the world is not by ma chines, but by the spirit of man, and this can best be brought about by reading and enriching the spirit.” To mention but a few of the books that Miss Stephens spoke upon, were, “The Strawberry' Girl” by I^enski and “The Rooster Crows” by Petersham, for the very young; “ On to Oregon" by Honoré Mon row and “ Christmas Tales" by Daye, for the adolescence “The Promised Land” by Halbrook and the Government pamphlet. "A Re port on International Control of Atomic Energy” , for the adult. These books are but a brief cross- section of the books mentioned by Miss Stephens. Her talk was not only beneficial, but interesting as well for Miss Ctephens is a charm ing speaker. Following Miss Stephens talk, the minutes o f the last meeting were read by our new secretary’, Mrs. Roy Carlson. Room attend ance prizes were awaarded to Mrs. Nelson’s second grade room, and Mrs. Mills’ fifth grade room. The next executive meeting will be at the school house on December sixth. A t the next meeting, De cember seventeenth, it was voted upon to sell candy. This meeting will be our special Xmas program, with a play by the Mothers and Fathers, and it was thought that a «»>le woukl Ue-in well at that time. Mrs. North reminded all parents ad friends to inspect the new Health Room recently fur nished by the P.T.A. The meeting was then adjourned and a social hour was held as usual in the school cafeteria Mrs Henry Thomas. Mrs. John E. Sachs. Mrs. C R Helm, and Mrs Wright act ed as hostesses.

I f you belong to those who believe so, listen to the experience of Mr. Doughty, of Doughty's Appliance Store, on S. W. Canyon Road. His contractors began work on his new 30 x 40 foot streamlined building on October 1st and he moved his stock into the completed store on Nov. 15! The building is finished even to the outside painting and the win dows. There is still some finishing work to be done inside, such as shelves and show cases, but the work on the building itself is done. We really are beginning to see normal times again when a 1200 square foot building can be com pleted in 6 weeks.
