New York Enchanted City During Christmas Season By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Edilor New York-fliPD-This is the time of the year I fall in love all over again with New York. With the Christmas season, it becomes an enchanted city and its heart overflows with goodwill making me forgive it for its ugliness and brusque, uncaring personality the rest of the year. One walk up gaily decorat ed Fifth avenue is enough to light the torch. A longer toux and I'm hopelessly enamored. Gotham in its holiday mood is something for all to see, to hear, to sense. From regal Empire State building to the smallest shop in picturesque Greenwich vil lage, New York .shows its charms to native and visitor. The most famous holiday sight is the tree at Rockefeller Center-this year a 64-foot white spruce, a. gift from Maine. One thousand plastic globes in red and white and three thousand firefly bulbs turn it into a breath-taking spectacle. Christmas Menagerie The promenade from Fifth avenue to the center itself is filled with wire - sculptured creatures of the forest, from tiny chipmunks and field mice to lordly deer with gold en antlers. Across the street, Saks Fifth avenue has turned its face into a pipe organ three stories tall. Life-size choir boys sing "God Rest Ye Mer ry Gentlemen" and other Christmas music for the shop pers along the famous fashion street. Walk or ride down Park avenue, with its three-mile ribbon of Christmas trees, in a party mood? wear Aphrodlsia , casual, outdoorsy? for you, Wodhw feeling feline? try Tigress got the drama bug? star in Act IV ' do-it-yourself. ..the fragrant way Cologne Quartette by Faberge .these four famous fashion colognes together, in an enchanting go!d-and-white filigree gift box- voniry sire 5. the set of four travel size 3. the set of four DRUG CENTRE FIRST Monday, Decemb.r 22.

Add remain slices and cinnamon sticks lighted each season by the residents of the Elite street, as a memorial to the dead of World War II and Korea. At the end of the avenue stands the New York Central tower, with its 200-foot cross formed by lighted windows to remind us of the holiday's signifi cance. Office buildings themselves seem determined to outdo last year in Christmas decor. The huge, glass-enclosed lobby of Lever house on Park avenue has a carousel, which travels with a circus most of the year but now is glamorized with tiny red and white figures, a sligh, and a skating pond nearby. Warm and Gay Across the street, the Sea gram skyscraper has filled its plaza with a forest of 125 brightly decorated Christmas trees. Concealed stereopho nic equipment pours out car ols and hymns. And thous ands come daily to my own office building, the Daily News, to see the lobby display -looking up toward the star lit ceiling, it is as if one were looking up through the center of a towering Christmas tree. Yes, New York has more than its share of the holiday spirit. . Faces of its millions wear smiles. Shoppers hum carols as they spend. For a little while, the city becomes warm and gay and human. It is a pity that we do not keep it so. A makeshift sleeve board can be fashioned from a roll-ed-up magazine covered with a turkish towel. Tie the roll and cover it with muslin. Use left-over turkey in a tossed salad. Dice the meat first. WE GIVE Northern Stamps Double Stamp en Prescriptions Open Weekdays 8:30 A.M. to 10:30 P M. Sundays 10:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M.

Passing Centuries Bring Many Changes In Styles for Toys Minneapolis-tllPD-Toys come in and out of vogue almost as often as silhouettes of fashion. Greek children played with dolls.. The Egyptians turned doll -making into fine art. Parts of their jointed dolls and animals-even a mechan ical baker kneading dough - have been found in ruins dat ing back 4,000 years. In the 16th Century, the playhouse was the most-wanted present. Some miniature houses were mansions with tiny paintings and elegant fur niture. The 17th Century saw the clockwork toy rise to popu larity, and the 18th Century specialized in musical devices. Now, the age of realism. New materials make it pos sible to manufacture dolls which do everything but breathe. Furry animals can be washed, and miniature trucks and cars have moving engine parts and friction motors.

DRUG CENTRE I WsCPIPTIONSY Major Civil Rights Battle Shaping In New Congress Washington-dTE-Statements from northern and southern senators made clear today that a major civil rights battle is shaping for the new Con-, gress. The northerners predicted the administration would call for more civil rights legisla tion and advocated federal ac tion to help southerners ease racial tensions. At the same time, the south erners predicted any attempt to curb the Senate filibuster rule would have little chance of success and advocated vol untary relocation of southern Negroes to northern states. Here was what the senators said in interviews Sunday: -Sen. Paul Douglas (D-Ill.) called for federal action to free the South's "very able men for constructive services" in easing racial problems. He specifically mentioned Sen. Russell Long (D-La.) and Rich ard B. Russell (D-Ga.) Equal Distribution -Russell said he would in troduce legislation aimed at bringing about a more equal distribution of Negroes throughout the nation. The bill would create a voluntary racial relocation commission. - -Sen. Clifford Case (R-N.J.) said he expected the adminis tration to call for extension of the life of the Civil Rights Commission and strengthen ing of the Justice Depart ment's power to act in civil rights violation cases. He said the administration also might call for an anti-bombing bill. -Sen. James O. Eastland (D MisS.) predicted efforts to curb the Senate filibuster rule - traditional weapon used against civil rights bills would meet with little success. He said the filibuster has never defeated one bill bene ficial to the people. A majority of 16 new sen ators also urged in copyright ed interviews in U. S.
