OHLC.OM Christmas Stories Written by Second Graders at School in California San Francisco-IUPD-Mrs. Pat "Santa Forgot Chriitmu' Gowan, a teacher at the btl Aire school in suburban Ti buron, asked students in her second grade class to write Christmas stories, here are some of the results: "Baby Jeiut is Born" by Gary Mitchell In Bethlehem there was a baby boy. His name was Jesus, and the angels came down to see the baby Jesus. He had lots and lots of pres ents, and Mary was happy. So was Joseph, and baby Jesus was laughing. It was a happy day. The camels were out in the dark. The cows saw the happy day. The cows were mooing. By Mark Defren One night at the North Pole Santa Claus was ready for Christmas, so Santa Claus went to New Jersey, and he lived happily ever after. "The Grouchy Bear" by Mar. Jorie Houghland. Once upon a time deep, deep, deep in the forest there lived a grouchy bear. He did not like Christmas. One frosty Christmas eve he was startled by an ap parition. He saw the ghost of Christmas standing before him. The ghost said, "come with me into the other room." He never hated Christmas from then on, but don't ask me what he said. Ask your friends. I do not know. I- by i dolph. Rudolph played races. Mike Cloud j and do you know who won? Santa Claus was sitting in nuaoipn his chair, so he did not know when Christmas went past, so he forgot Christmas. "The Two-lumped Reindeer" by Steve Lynch Up by the North Pole there is a reindeer who has two big lumps on his back. He went to Santa. Santa said, "what are those to big things on your back?" "Two big lumps." "Oh." "Tha Mystery of Santa Claui't Sleigh" by Bobby Ward One Christmas night Santa went out to his sleigh, and he discovered that his sleigh was gone. "Santa Claul Broka the Chim ney" by Steva Goorman Once there was a house. Santa Claus lived in it. He said to himself, "December 25 is Christmas. Today is Christ mas." That night he started on his trip. He was away for about one hour when he came to this house. He landed on the roof. He sat on the chimney, and he broke it.

Lif - Your Money's Worth By SYLVIA PORTER Copyright, Hall Syndicate, Inc. Corinne F. - I'm a college graduate, 35 years old. Back in the '50s I had three nerv ous breakdowns, and now I live with my mother who's 80. and my sister who's 45 and supports us all. I'm caught in a tight squeeze now and don't know where to turn. I can't seem to hold a job, but my sister has given me an ultimatum to either become self-supporting by March or to return to the an incompetent. I thought I was all set last month when I worked as check-out girl at the super market. But one of their old employees turned up and they gave her back her old post tion mine. I've tried baby, sitting, and receptionist posts Either I smoke too much or talk too much to suit the em ployer. These experiences make me more fearful than ever of the outside world. Georgine F. - The trouble with Corinne Is no one has ever taken a firm stand to wards her. My mother still talks of her as my poor baby" and urges her to "just come tell Mama all about it dear" whenever Corinne meets Willi a problem. Then Mama agrees with her that everyone else is mean and picking on her little angel. Well, I'm fed up. I could curl up and collapse too if I let myself go. But 1 keep going because there's no one to come crying to. And now Corinne had better quit bel lyaching to my mother and me. Either she's well or she's still sick. If she's well, she must support herself and help me with our mother. If she's sick, then she must return to the hospital for treatment. Putting it to her this way may make her stick to a job, So far. she tries to get fired'. nuli U AY, DECtMBtR 17, 1962 The Medical Roundup t(. j Ememtu Consultant In Medlctne Mayo Clinlr Emerllua Pruleisor of Medicine Mayo runic (Reenter and Tribune Syndicate, 1962) bitten hand or foot, the pain ly designed small electric bat-. can be excruciating.

A rehabilitation expert could "interpret" Corinne more accurately to her moth er and sister who, at present FORCES BEHIND ALL-NUMBER CALLING In San Francisco, a group of angry telephone users banded together into the Anti-Digit Dialing League have just filed a suit with the California Utilities Commission to force the telephone company to halt its "incipient scheme" to switch to All-Number Calling the system under which our familiar, colorful telephone exchanges are to be replaced by numbers. In cities across the country similar groups of irate telephone customers are bitterly protesting the change over, denouncing it as the ADDL suit charges, as one more "snatching of the human element in our lives which needs to much protection in this age of the machine." Why the switch-over? What next? Here, from Eugene .T. McNelly, president of American Telephone & Telegraph Co.. are your answers. Porter: Giving up the familiar exchanges in favor of as many as 13 numbers for long-distance calls is widely resent ed. Why are you doing it? McNeely: First, let me emphasize telephone people regret having to change the numbering system and we share our customers' attachment for exchange names. But we must keep pace with telephone growth, and All-Number Calling Is the solution which offers the most advantages with the least change in existing dialing habits. There are approxiamtely 86 million phones in the U.S. and Canada today and there will be twice that many in 1975. As a result, we are facing a shortage of telephone numbers. All-Number Calling will accommodate telephone growth Into the next century because it provides almost half again as many usable numbers as the combination of letters and figures. This is because numerals are associated with all 10 dial holes while letters are associated with only eight of the j scem to be doing all the wrong 30. I things. One acts over-soft, the Porter: Has Direct Distance Dialing contributed to the j other over-severe. Since Ihey shortage? I are well - meaning people, McNeely: In a way, yes. The U.S. and Canada were di-; each hobbled by her own vided into dialing areas to enable customers and operators to dial long distance calls directly. To make this possible, a telephone number cannot be repeated within a dialing area. Using letters and figures to form telephone numbers, we were limited to 540 usable combinations within a dialing area. But using only figures, there are 800 usable combinations within a dialing area. Porter: Weren't there other ways lo obtain more tele phone numbers? McNeely: Yes. and we thoroughly studied them all be fore concluding that All-Number Calling was best. In New York letter combinations such as LR and LL are now being used, but these provide only 36 more com binations, far fewer than an all-numeral system which adds about 250. We also could obtain more numbers by adding an eighth dial pull, requiring you to dial a third letter or an extra numeral. But this would mean that all telephone numbers in the country would have to be changed overnight and, most important, it would necessitate extra dialing, which we don't want to require you to do. ANC avids thisp roblem, and in changing lo ANC the loiters in your present telephone number generally are re placed by numerals in the corresponding dial hole (KL5-2368 become 555-2368). Also ANC eliminates wrong numbers caused by misspelling and mispronouncing exchange names. Dials of the future can be smaller and yet easier lo read with just numerals, and numerals will simplify the intro duction of worldwide dialing by avoiding alphabel and lancugae differences. Porter: Anything on the horizon lo take the sting out of dialing rows of diqits to make a phone call? McNeely: Yes. Early next year, telephone companies will mart nationwide marketing of automatic dialers. These dial ers will utilize plastic cards or magnetic tape on which the customer's frequently-called numbers have been recorded. You'll be able to dial these numbers automatically by doing little more than inserting a card or turning a knob. Electronate switching equipment, which we tested in Morris. 111., and which is now in commercial production, also will simplify dialing. When our electronic central offices are In operation the first full-scale office will open in Sue casunna. N.J., around mid-1965 you'll be able to reach oft called telephones by dialing only two numbers.

The royal road back, how ever, must be carved by Cor inne herself. And she can do it. Enlightened employers in crease in numbers each month, Impressed by the testi mony of physicians, union leaders, personnel experts that a history of mental ill ness is not valid ground for denying employment. It is or dinarily to be regarded on a par with physical illness. So Corinne must try to shake off her defeatism. And the best way to start is to focus on (wo or three simple, attainable goals. As a college graduate, surely there arc use ful jobs she can fill. But "he should lower her sights. Slop looking for The Perfect Po sition. A humble post where she really tries to please, (rather than to flee by being fired), may soon grow into the Almost-Perfect job, for it will prove a few things about her which need proving. Then she might sign up lor a course, perhaps leading to a master's degree. Even if she never gets the big parch ment, the goal becomes a bright light in her life. And it leads to rubbing shoulders with lots of humans. Also, she can activate a social life of sorts through signing up (or hobby classes at a Y, a li brary or a museum. For both sisters we recom mend a daily dose of patience. Corinne seems scared that she can't "measure up." But once she realir.es her goal Cold Feat in Winter Now is the time when, es pecially in the northern tier of states and in Canada, many people are be ing troubled with cold and wet feet. A tendency to cold feet can run in a fam ily; Mrs. Ra verat, a grand daughter of j the great vnarit-s uar- win, wrote once that several of her uncles suffered from the typically "Darwinian cold feet." Such people, who suf fer from cold feet at night should wear woolen bed-socks. I do not know how to cure such persons, but the socks can ward off much of their distress. During the last two world wars, many of our soldiers who walked around all day in cold mud suffered much from a trouble they called "trench-foot." Often the feet were cold, red, swollen and painful. In some cases, the soldier developed changes in the nerves and arteries of his feet which caused long-lasting trouble in the legs. Some suffered from froslbite on their feel. The army doctors felt that some of the trouble with trench foot was due to the wet, some to the cold, and some to the lack of exercise. The lack of ability of the sol diers to get out of their trench or foxhole and to walk around and wriggle their toes cut down on the amount of blood in the feet, and this was bad. The civilian who in peace time suffers from a sort of "trench-foot" should, at night, before retiring, bathe his feet in warm water and then mas sage them for a while. Then he should dry the feet well, especially between the toes. Will Study Blood-Flow When a physician sees a man (or woman) with cold and frost-bitten feet, he will want to know if there is any rea son why not enough blood is getting into the foot and leg. He will study the blood-flow not only in the leg veins but in the arteries of the legs and feel. If the person who is ex posed lo cold and dampness has varicose veins, he is more likely to get into difficulties than is a man with good veins. Every night he should put a pillow or bolster under the lower end of his mattress so as to raise it. This helps the blood in the veins to run back to the heart. It is a good idea to get a physician to see if there is a normal pulsation in the big arteries that run just in front of and behind the ankle. Also the physician may see if there is much difference in the blood supply of the leg when it is lying flat on the exam ining table and when it is pointed straight up in the air. It is a good sign when, on putting the foot down, it quickly regains a good pul sation in the arteries. The physician will want In know if the person can walk rapidly along the street, or if once or twice in each block he has to stop for a minute because of pain in a leg. Such intermittent pain means that one of the big arteries in the leg is somewhat blocked. In such cases, the doctor will check the blood sugar (dia be(es) and blood cholesterol (hardening of the arteries). If a leg artery is badly nar rowed somewhere, this can be shown with a special x-ray technic, and then an artery surgeon may be able to put In a dacron tube that will restore the continuity of the bood vessel. If this cannot be done, the cutting of the "sympathetic" nerves to the leg arteries where they run in the back of the abdo men may give relief, by enlarging the bore of the ar teries in the legs. Mutt Ba Careful The sufferer from diabetes must be particularly careful when his feet give him trou ble. He is particularly sub ject to hardening and narrow ing of the arteries in his legs. He must keep hie socks dry and clean; also his shoes needn't be tomorrow She j world, but merely tomorrow an honest try, she'll keep plug ging upward. REAL SHARP! 1959 Plymouth Belvedare, 4-dr.
