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.

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

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.

TIPS ON TURKEYS
East Lansing, Mich. - (CPU -
How big a turkey to buy?
Here is what home economics
extension specialists at Michi
gan State University advise.
If you need just four serv
ings, then buy a 4-pound' tur
key. If you want 10 servings,
get an 8-pound bird; for 20
servings, a 12- pound one. A
20-pound turkey will provide
about 40 servings. As birds get
larger, each pound yields
more servings.
The U.S. navy's first sub
marine derived its power
from a conventional four
cylinder gasoline engine.

From Trip East;
D urn os to Leave
Dr. and Mrs. Brian Stringer
returned to Medford last week
after spending a month in
Boston, Rochester and Cleve
land. The Stringers came to
Medford in September from
California where Dr. String
er had been studying and
working at the University of
California hospital.
For the present the couple
will live at 21 North Keene
way drive and later they will
occupy the residence of .Mrs.
Stringer's parents, Dr. and
Mrs. Edwin R. Durno on East
Main street while the Durnos

elected to the Oregon senate
during the last election.

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.
LABELS FOR THE BIRDS
East Lansing, Mich. - (DPD -
Look for a government label
on the holiday turkey you
buy, say extension specialists
in home economics at Michi
gan State university.
A label will tell you if the
bird has been inspected for
wholesomeness and graded
for quality. It will indicate
the age of the bird, and act
as a guide for its cooking. The
best turkeys are labeled "U.S.
Grade A.".
Keep Pie Crusty
East Lansing, Michigan-(UPD
Brush the bottom crust of
fruit pie with oil or soft fat
to prevent it from getting
soggy, suggest Michigan State
University nutritionists.
Thicken juices of frozen fruit,
and bake the pie at as high a
temperature as the filling will
allow.
Holiday Hosiery Colorful
United Press International
Holiday hosiery is more col
orful than ever. A woman can
choose stockings to match
nearly any shade of evening
shoe, from palest pink to dark
green. Decorated hose also
are in abundance. Look for
clocks, ankle and knee em
broideries. One Christmas
number features a holly mo
tif in jewels and gold.

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. News
and World Report that . the
Senate curb its filibuster
rules. Their statements added
new pressure for an all-out
fight, over the filibuster on
the opening of the new Con
gress next month.
