Santa Claus Is Favorite Theme for 1958 Greetings By MARGARET RICHARDS United Press International ' Kansas City, Mo.-IUPD-Santa Claus is a one-to-eight favorite in the 1958 Christmas card derby. At first glance, such odds wouldn't accord the old gen tleman preferred status. But, considering the thousands of other designs against which he will compete, Santa's position is strong. St. Nick occupies the pin-j nacle this year because that's where the American public has placed him, said a spokes man for Hallmark Cards, world's largest greeting card "publisher. And public pref erences are always honored in the Christmas card business, f The 300 artists who create the company's 11,000 new greeting card designs each tyear are guided by experi ence, research and an alert ness to changing consumer Hastes. This knowledge has Tanked brightly-colored orna jnents, candles and floral de signs, in that order, behind Santa Claus as customer fa 'vorites this year. Symbols Familiar ; Although familiar symbols f the holiday lead, the cards 5re distinguished by many Hew styling touches. Santa Claus, for example, wears a beard fashioned of stand-up plastic granules on some of the cards. On others, his tradi tional red suit is reproduced in luminescent ink, tor a flowing appearance. - Elegance is imparted to other gretings through a new process of foil embossing. The metal is sculptured to form Biblical tableaux, portraits of Ihe Wise Men, wreaths and the like. Another new tech nique creates designs printed on foil, giving a deep-dimen- tion appearance. ; fabrics, too, play an lm portant part. Paintings are re produced on silk panels. Ela- Toy Demonstration Given for Meeting Of Lake Creek Unit Lake Creek A demon- ftration of the making of children's toys was given by Mrs. Lee Rodgers at a recent meeting of the Lake Creek Home Extension unit at the home of Mrs. James Edge, Eagle Point.

Oregon, Sunday, December 14, 1958 I borate designs and messages come embroidered in colorful i thread as miniature tapestries. The texture of linen has been duplicated in another series of designs with the flavor of ori ental prints. Unusual Color Color is used in unusual ways. Black is combined with gold and silver for striking re sults. "Off-beat shades for Christmas cards pink, gray and pale blue are used ex tensively. Red and green also are popular, often in distinc tive new tones. Many processes and tech niques are carried outside the cards to the, envelopes. In some cases, a segment of 'the card's - design, perhaps a Christmas tree or a cluster of bells, is reproduced on the en velope. Other envelopes are bordered in red, or bear a stripe that repeats the card's basic color scheme. Some en velopes have a simulated "lin ing," actually printed a fea ture adopted from Christmas card envelopes of the 1920's. Hey!

Alaskan Picture Windows All Boast of Fine View By GAY PAULEY UPI Wonen'i Editor New York-fllPD-One thing about picture windows in Alaska they look out on something besides other pic ture windows or the highway traffic whizzing by. Almost every home in our newest and largest state has a view, says Mrs. Beatrice Culver, and interior decorat ors cater to it. Mrs. Culver, who studied decorating at the University of California at Berkeley, and has been in Alaska since 1945, described life and home decor in a fas cinating report to the Ameri can Institue of Decorators Headquarters. She is the in stitute's first Alaskan mem ber. "We all live simply," she wrote, "using our homes for our hobbies, usually enter taining casually but able to gussie it up as the occasion demands. "The style and mood of our homes are controlled by where we came from and what traditions we absorbed before arriving here.". Architecture may range from the practical and pictur esque log cabin to Cape Cod and modern. The more "modest" homes cost their owners from $15, 000 to $20,000, she said; the "average" from $20,000 to $35,000, and the more elabor ate, going on up through $65, 000, $85,00 and even $125, 000. Unusual Expenses "But one must realize," she continued, "that dollar for dollar, it costs one-fourth to one-third more to build here than in cost areas and that we have expenses not thought of in other cities, such as making our own provisions for wells and sewage systems. "Almost every home has a gorgeous view either of . the mountains or the sea, with an ever changing panorama of colors. I am always inclined to work around them,, either by bringing them into the in terior or by creating within the room a foil for the beauty framed by the windows." Mrs. Culver said that "if there is such a thing as trend, it seems to be toward the spring and summer colors which incidentally have their counterpart in the winter in the dramatic northern lights lovely blues; mauves, vio lets, and even flame pink." Alaskans live and let live," she said. "There is no keep ing up with the Jones's, so there is a great deal of indi viduality and originality in homes. "If one procures a beautiful location, builds a basement and moves into it himself and family while he takes any where from a year to three All . yf years to finish the house prop er, no one even raises an eye brow. Large Families "We are people of large families and inclined to do things together in family units. It is common to see whole families painting the house for its final FHA ap proval," said the decorator, who is the wife of a real es tate man and has six children of her own. Mrs. Culver said decorating in Alaska has its problems to offset the panoramas. One is that of getting furniture and accessories. They either have to be flown in, or shipped by truck, rail and boat. Because of the three to four months of daylight in sum mer when an Alaskan can read a paper at midnight without artificial light, homes need light-proofing if there is to be any sleeping. She said she uses draw dra peries with lightproof linings, or lightproof shades, which provide darkness in summer and in winter when the nights are long, give a sense of pri vacy and coziness. "Glacial grit" causes car peting to wear more rapidly than in other parts of the country, she said. Townsend Club Plans Yule Party A Christmas party and tur key luncheon will be held Wednesday, December 17, at the meeting of the Medford Townsend club at noon at the Carpenters hall.

Frink on distribution is Marshall Day and Frank Salyers. Mrs. Edwin Harper is chair man of the committee on dec oration. Yam Topping A blend of 2 tablespoons honey and Vi cup butter or margarine makes a tasty top ping for yams. For the best fvalor, heat 4 medium cooked, peeled yams, or 1 can (1 pound) yams, drained, in the butter-honey glaze over low heat for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
