Directions Given

Burlington, Vt.-dTD - Mar-
gorie Luce, a University of
Vermont home economist,
gives these directions for fire
proofing fabrics for the holi
day season.
Make a paste of three
ounces (slightly more than V
cup) of- powdered boric acid
and a little water. Dissolve in
2 quarts hot water. Add 7
ounces of borax (slightly less

Easy Does It, Children;
Take Pity on Santa Claus
By PATRICIA McCORMACK
United Press International
New York-flJPD-Santa Claus called today and asked me to
tell children how they can make a good impression on him.
A little boy had just dropped his chewing gum in Santa's
beard and the old gent was a little upset.
'Tell them not to blow bub
bles when they're sitting on
my lap," Santa pleaded.
And he'd like mommies to
take special precautions with
children who have colds. As
he put it:
"I'm not leaving town in
a hurry, so there's lots of time
to wait until the cold goes
away. It's not best to come
in when your youngsters are
sneezing, coughing and blow
ing their cold germs all over
the place."
Santa has ideas, too, about
how mommies can prepare
their smallest children to meet
him for the first time. It
breaks him up when the tiny
things cry at the first sight
of him. He said:
"Show them pictures of me
and tell them what a gentle,
kindly man I am. And tell
them my beard is like a teddy
bear, nice and soft. Say I
wear it because I live in the
North Pole and it keeps me
' warm."
! Santa said he has a terrible
pain in the neck from chil
dren squeezing him too tight.
"The bigger children," he
complained, "squeeze hard
est." A gentle hug is more
to his liking.
Santa also has a pain in
the back.
"Many of the children don't
speak up and I have to bend
way over-almost to my boot-tops-to
hear what they'd like
for Christmas," he said.
"If they speak up in a nice
loud voice, my back will be
in better shape Christmas
night when I have to carry
my pack."
Some children, according to
Santa, are hard to get away
from.
"This usually happens when
the good little boy or girl

"When I shake their hands,

from the sticky stuff."
The children who make the
best impression on Santa ask
him to bring nice gifts to their
mommies, daddies and friends.
"That shows me the boys
and girls are thinking of oth
ers," he said. "And that, after
all, is the spirit of Christmas,
isn't it?"
