Salvation Army
Promotes Idea
Of Proxy Gifts
B7 HARRY CULVER
United Press Correspondent
" Okla'ma City (U.P.) One
of the world's oldest welfare or
ganizations is giving its fund
raising efforts a new twist here
this Christmas season.
For the first time, the Salva
tion Army is conducting a pro
gram of gifts by proxy. The
proxf) idea has doeen used by
some other agencies, but usually
it has taken the form of accept
ing donations to charities in
lieu of funeral flowers.
Lt. Col. Wesley W. Bouterse,
officer in charge of the local
Salvation Army office, said an
unexpected donor brought the
idea to him last year.
Letters Sent
"I've got to buy Christmas
gifts for several relatives and
bness friends who don't really
need the gifts," said the donor.
"I feel like I'm buying something
justoto keep up with the neighbors.
"How about my writing you a
check so you can give it to some
kids who need it,
The Salvation Army official
praised the idea. In return for a
sizeable check, he wrote each
person on the caller's gift list
a letter,, It explained this was
their Cnristmas gift from Mr.
, that via the Salvation
Army a family would receive
food, clothing and toys furnished
by his contribution.
Bouterse planned a full-scale
campaiagn this year. Similar
letters will be sent, and he hopes
the idea will grow in future
years.
, " He believes the new gift media
willOnot only boost the Salva
ti6"n Army's Christmas fund, but
will help solve a shopping prob
lenPfor many givers, and per
haps give them a warm feeling
inside at Christmas.

Camp Fire Girls,
Aid Seal Sale
Community service being one
of the projects for Camp Fire
Girls, Ayuzunta troop of that
organization staffed the Christ
mas Seal booth last Saturday at
Mann's Department store from
10 a.m. until 5 p.m. The girls
assisting in the booth were
Stephanie Mertager, Linda Med
calf, Joanne Holmstrom, Ann
Younger, Sara L. Hinkle, Donna
Unger, and Treva Toenniges.
Mrs. R. N. Younger, leader of
Ayuzunta, and Mrs. Milton Med
calf, member of the committee
of awards supervised the girls'
work. Receipts for the day's
activity were good and will add
to the funds being contributed
to Christmas Seal sales which
provide for research, discovery
of new cases of tuberculosis and
eventual eradication of that dis
ease. In the past year, Jackson
county residents have seen tan
gible proof of the results of their
contributions in the permanent
chest x-ray facilities which have
been installed in the local hos
pitals making available this
vital medical phase at a nominal
cost to the public.
The Christmas Seal booths
will be placed in Mann's Depart
ment store and Penney's again
on Saturday, December 17 dur
ing the hours of 10 a.m. to 5
p.m. and will be manned by girls
from other Camp Fire Girl units

Mink Buckets and Trees,
$400 Brushes on Gift List
(Editor's Note: Anyone can compile a Christmas list filled with the
ordinary necktie and socks for the men, blouse and bedroom shoes for
the women. But dreaming up the gift which is unusual, and destined for
a "conversation piece" role Christmas day, is another matter. In the in
terests of helping those who want to give the unusual without regard
for cost of course the United Press polled leading stores in several
cities for their suggestions. Read 'em, and sigh.)
United Press Associations
1
New York (U.P.) One sure
way to make a hit with any
male en your Christmas list is
to give him something he'd
never dream of buying for him
self. Like a camel seat.
Camel seats, called "siwas,"
date back to the era of the
Sphinx and solar boats. Their
original purpose was to provide
comfortable sitting for camel
riders. But today's versions, im
ported from Egypt, have been
given a wooden, bench-like base
and are suggested as an addi
tion to the den, study or living
room. They come in red and
green leather and cost $69.50
at one New York store. The store
does not stock camels.
Or, - a gift certificate for a
toupee, if he's balding and you're
brave.
Moving Diamonds
One New York firm specializ
ing in hair pieces suggested that
the woman planning to give such
a certificate first write for a
cost estimate. Price depends on
the size of the bald or balding
area. It can range from $85 for
a back bald spot to $175 for a
complete top piece. If hubby
later balks at wearing the tou
pee, the money will be refunded.
Now, for a run-down, of other
gifts United Press found featur
ed in stores around the nation:
White ermine bottle guards,
for bottles of spirits, at $250
in one Dallas store. A gold
trimmed imported typewriter,
available in an Atlanta shop for
$225.
A Paris designed necktie,
priced at $100 in a Cleveland
store. The tie sports a diamond
in the center.
A man's wrist watch, minus
hands, but with two moving dia
monds in the face, which is sur
rounded by diamonds, at $350
in an Indianapolis store. An In
dianapolis shop also features an
imported cashmere coat with
star sapphire buttons. The coat,
$750 but buttons extra.
$400 Brushes
In Chicago, you can get gold
cuff links, with a watch set in
one of each pair, for $100.
One San Francisco store has
a notebook made of shark leath
er with solid gold hinges, pencil
and ridges at $125; an alligator
train case for $525; a portable
bar done in calf, and capable
of holding three bottles, glasses
and mixer, for $95; a battery
driven "salesman's" cocktail
mixer at $22.95; and a chamois
sports shirt at $55.
Hair brushes, made of satin
wood with Siberian boar bristle,
cost a mere $400 at one Los
Angeles shop. Another Los An
geles firm features toothpaste,
$1.50 per tube, with authentic
scotch, rye or bourbon flavoring.
None of these suggestions
strike you?
Well, "for a man who has
everything," a Kansas City de
partment store offers for $1.50
a burlap bag. It's packaged
in a brown box, with the letter
ing, "So you have everything?"
Inside is written, "Here's ' a
bag to put it in."

who foots the bills may as well
face it Christmas is loaded in
favor of the ladies.
What gift for man can match
a $125,000 diamond necklace, or
a $45,000 wrist watch, with four
carat diamond crystal? A $10,

Or a mink cover for the dining
room table at only $500?

diamond-studded tiara, selling in
Chicago for $10,000; a white
mink Christmas tree from a San
Francisco designer for $18,750,

ments helped up the cost, the
designer explained), and a mink
covered ice bucket for a cool
$150 at a Chicago store.
The jewelled fly swatters, can
Cpeners, shoe horns and back
scratchers still are around. This
year, though, they are out-glamorized
by such as a stimulated

white felt, costing $50, avail
able also in Chicago, and de
