First Lady Shops and Wraps
Early; Has Large Gift List
By PATRICIA WIGGINS
Uniled Press Correspondent
Washington (W Gaily
wrapped Christmas presents al
ready are being tucked away in
Qcorners and closets at the White
House.
It isn't that Santa Claus came
earily though President Eisen
hower' might think so if he hap
pens to stumble on some of the
hidden stocks.
The tucker-away is the Fzirst
Lady, Mamie Eisenhower, one of
Santa's most enthusiastic help
ers. She carries one step further
the traditional advice to "Do
Your Christmas Shopping Early."
Not only does she do her
Christmas shopping all year
'round, but she also believes in
getting a flying start on wrap
ping and ribbon-tying the Yule
time gifts.
In October
rThe first Christmas-packaged
bundle made its appaearnce at
the White House in early Octo
ber this year. The collection has
been growing ever since.
Mrs. Esienhower loves to give
gifts, and her shopping list in
cludes not only the fur grand
children and other family mem
bers but a circle of friends and
acquaintances scattered all over
the.gjobe.
&rs. Eisenhower has had most
'of1 her shopping done by Thanks-
(ijvinS,
It jj long-standing habit to
pi up Christmas gifts when
ever .juiS wherever she spots
41 ,W2 - 4- A : 1 T 1
o
G
The habit likely was encouraged
by Army life, where mailing to
far-flung family and friends had
to be done early.
And it's grown more fun for
Grandmother Eisenhower with
the addition of each grandchild.
She does most of her "shop
ping" through newspaper ads,
magazines and store catalogs
a happy footsaving solution for
any housewife but an almost in
dispensible one for Mrs. E. for
an even more compelling reason.
Has Helpers
Like other First Ladies, she
has found her presence at a store
counter causes no end of confu
sion and pandemonium that
complicates her buying decisions
considerably. So, she mostly en
lists the aid of her secretary, her
sister, a good friend, to inspect
an advertised gift or buy a spe
cific item she has decided upon.
On occasion, Mrs. Eisenhower
has worked some personal gift-
buying into her official appear
ances at benefit bazaars and
and similar engagements. More
than one item that wound up in
her shopping bag during a ba
zaar in early November was a
"little something" extra for
daughter-in-law Barbara or to go
into the Christmas stockings of
one of her four grandchildren.
Mrs. Eisenhower is said to be
much better at early Christmas
buying than her husband. On at
least one occasion a Presidential
messenger was dispatched at the
last minute to pick up one of the
personal gifts on the President's
own list.

Gift Wraps
Designee
For Hobby
By MARGARET RICHARDS
United Press Correspondent
Kansas City, Mo. TO If the
recipient is a "pop-' music fan,
wrap the Christmas gift in a
paper that bears the autographs
of a half dozen of the nation's
top recording artists.
If romance is your intention,
signify it with a gift wrap en
titled, "Pour Vous" "for you,"
in French with a striking pat
tern of ruby red lips and mistle
toe. If the gift is for a male who
fancies himself as a home handy
man, use a paper that features
a design of paint brushes, ham
mers, saws and the like.
Those three gift papers are
among the 1957 array of yule
tide wraps which one authority
describes as the most outstand
ing ever created. Kaye King, a
gift wrapping stylist (for Hall
mark Cards), said the new
collection is characterized by its
variety and scope, as well as by
its distinctiveness and beauty.
Santa's Sports Car
One of the designs to which
Miss King referred pictures a
traditional rural scene in winter
country lanes, farmhouses and
trees heavily laden with crystal
line snow. To give this often-done
idea a newness, the design was
rendered as an etching and the
result is striking.
Santa Claus, for example, ap
pears on the festive wraps not
only In his customary role as a
distributor of gifts but also as
the proud driver of a shiny new
sports car.
Another off-beat wrap shows
a silver Christmas tree against
a jet black background, while
still another depicts a succession
of tiny trees in blue and pink
in just the right scale for a
diminutive package.
Sophistication
Also strikingly different are
several papers that are geo
metric, with their patterns form
ed of colorful circles, squares
and other such figures.
Sophistication also is in the
news this year, Miss King re
ported, in coloring as well as
styling. Aquamarine, lavender
and purple appear in profusion,
breaking the monopoly once held
so strongly by red and green.
Vying with the gift papers for
beauty and variety are the rib
bons for this holiday season.
Widths range from a tiny quarter-inch
to a massive three
inches, with a full selection of
sizes in between. The variety of
colors is endless. Ribbon sur
faces are smooth, crinkled and
basket-weave in texture.
Also new is a ribbon spool of
clear plastic that allows the color
of the ribbon to show through
on all sides.

OUR
MR.
EDDY,

It takes more than bad weather to keep the hardier souls of
the Rogue valley home. The cast of the Footlighter play, "The
Wooden Bowl," which opened last night at the little Fairgrounds
theater, wouldn't have been surprised if no one but relatives had
been on hand, but quite a few devoted fans groped their way
through the thick smog to see the first performance.
Angus and Gertrude Bowmer drove all the way from Ashland,
and when they approached the spot along the highway where
they thought the turn-off to the theater should be, Mr. B. got out
of the car and walked along the roadside, while wife Gertrude
followed in the car at a snail's 'pace. In this fashion, they followed
the flares set out to guide patrons, and arrived safely and on time.
Dr. and Mrs. Charles Coyle didn't fare quite so well, and got
stuck in the mud when Dr. C. wandered off into the hinterland
someplace between the highway and the theater. But another
patron cheerfully pulled them out before curtain time.
Mrs. Enid Rankin and Mrs. Maisie Dailey arrived looking like
they were on safari, loaded down with blankets and wooly stoles.
However, Footlighter Frank Buchter had gone to the theater in
the early morning to turn the heat on, and it stayed reasonably
warm in spite of the piercing cold outside.
Dr. and Mrs. Frank Roberts Jr. had promised Dr. Roberts'
father, a featured played in the cast, not to attend opening night
he was afraid their presence in the .audience would make him
nervous. The elder Dr. Roberts is making his theatrical debut at
the age of 78. However, the couple couldn't resist sneaking in
after the curtain had parted and the house lights were out and
they immensely enjoyed their father's playing of the elderly war
veteran who has a lot of spunk, even if life and his children are
putting him on the shelf.
First-nighters and first-timers to attend a Footlighter play were
Robby Collins and the Don Herrieds. Robby C, whose interest
in theater is both on a local and Broadway level, said he was
almost always out of the city when Footlighter plays came along
and decided last night to go, fair weather or foul.
Seems like we're always coming across something these days
which deflates our national ego. Latest squash was in the column
of the Saturday Review, where Jerome. Beatty Jr., of "Trade
Winds" was writing about the International Book Fair in Frank
furt, Germany.
Potpourri had always supposed that the publishing business in
the United States was pretty important- not only to this country,
but an influence in the world. Well, according to Curtis A. Benja
man, president of the McGraw-Hill Publishing company, who at
tended the Frankfurt Fair "American publishing could disappear
and not be missed."
"At the Fair you see the books of the whole civilized world,"
said Mr. Benjamin. "It makes you feel very humble, you see that
one publisher, or even one country's publishers, are a very small
part of the whole world of books."
Our deflation increased when we read Publisher W. D. Patter
son's figures. "We had 101 publishers (at the Fair) but Switzerland
had 102, Great Britain, 208, West Germany, 582. There are 4,000
booksellers in West Germany, many more than in the United
States, incidentally."
So far as we're concerned, it's more important for this country
to keep up in the race to publish and make available the best of
books on every conceivable subject than it is to concentrate on
the mass destruction of mankind. O.S.

Fails Take More Lives Than Other Accidents
Lincoln, Neb. -HIP) Falls
take more lives and injure more
persons in the home than any
other accident.
William D. Lutes, Extension
specialist in safety at the Uni
versity of Nebraska, reminded
homemakers there are some
practical precautions they can
take.
Highly polished floors are ex
tremely dangerous, he said. Stair
carpets which are not securely
fastened also may cause falls.
Stairs should be well lighted
and equipped with a handrail to
insure against falls, Lutes said.
Good housekeeping habits will
prevent the accumulation
toys, clothing and furniture on
stairs or in lines of frequent
traffic.
Many falls occur In the kitch
en as a result of climbing. A
sturdy step stool or step ladder
should be provided to reach the
high shelves.
Spiced Peaches
Whether Christmas dinner fea
tures turkey or ham, spiced
peaches make a delicious and
colorful accompaniment. Use the
whole spiced peaches that come
ready prepared, or heat canned
cling peach halves with whole
spices and a dash of vinegar
of added to their syrup.
