Town of Christmas Has Yule Spirit Year 'Round By STANLEY M. BHOWN United Press International Christinas, Fla.KIPIl The life-long embition of Mrs. Ju anila S. Tucker is to mail more Christmas cards than Santa Claus. Bui the postmistress hero doubts that her town will catch up to Santa Clans, lnd., this year, in mailingseven though more than :il)0,n)n cards have been mailed from this central Florida town this season. "It's not (he volume that counts, It's the spirit; and we have the Christmas spirit here the year round," Mrs. Tucker said. Christmas really is a way of life lor the 200 residents. A small sign at the base of the town's permanent Christ mas tree sums up the local sentiment: "The permanent Christmas tree at Christmas, Kla., is the symbol of love and good will the Christmas spirit every day of the year." The 55 y e a r-o Id post mistress put Christmas on the map 30 years ago by adding her personal holiday greeting on mail passing through the tiny post offii'c. The gesture caught on and grew into a tradition. One season It took 10 part time workers more than three weeks to put the town's post mark -an evergreen tree cir cled by "Glory to God in the highest" on the volumes of mail. The Christmas post office is in as mall gift shop owned by Mrs. Tucker and her hus band, Cecil. In 1055, the Tuckers built an extension on the back of the post office to handle the expanded mail traffic. "This year we built a lobby in the post office so people could come In and postmark their own cards and ease the work load on our staff," said Mrs. Tucker. "People will go to all sorts of trouble to visit Christmas and mail cards and packages. One lady said she had brought her cards 1,400 miles," she said. Actually, Christmas is one of the oldest towns in Flori da. The town got Its name when a group of settlers built a fort there on Christmas clay In 1!);I5 for protection against the Indians. Nothing remains of the old fortification, and the "Fort" was dropped from the name long before the post office was established here in 18112.

John Glenn, who orbited the earth in a historic flight for the United States, named his cap sude, "Friendship 7," for a very special reason. Glenn is a firm believer In the concept of understanding between the people of the world and that one of the best ways lo accomplish this is through the world's children. "We are looking forward to someday having a world friendship among peoples," Glenn said, "and where should we start but with the new generation. . ." The astronaut said he was a supporter of the United Na tions Children's Fund, better known as UNICEF. UNICEF is a United Na tions agency that was formed shortly after the UN was es tablished. At first, it provided food to the needy children of coun tries decimated by World War II. It now attempts to help governments help their own. In the United States, funds are raised through the sale of greeting cards and other drives. Glenn said he has been buy ing the cards for several years because of the spirit behind them. "I also have a selfish mo tive," Glenn said. "They're good cards." America's first astronaut to orbit the earth said it was his children, John David, 16, and Carolyn Ann, 15, who picked the name "Friendship 7." 'Fortunately" he said, ' It was also the name that I wanted." WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER By BERNICE STRAWN Oregon Stite University Do you groan at thoughts of all you have to get done be fore Christmas? Just remember - "Life is hard by the yard, by the inch it's a cinch." Don't try to swallow the whole yard the last few days-start now, bite off a few inches each day, A written plan will help. Electric hair dryers are a much talked about ;ift this year. Many dryers come in at tractive carrying cases, and have hoods adjustable in size to slip over curlers. A strong flow of warm air is needed for fast drying, but a well-designed hood prevents a direct blast of air on the head. Some hair dryers have special features such as a plas tic bag which connects to the air flow for quick drying of lingerie and hosiery, outlet for drying nail polish, attach ment for brush or comb dry ing, shoulder strap to hold dryer and long cord for a "walk and talk" drying. Separate hoods can be bought for old-type dryers. They're a help, but don't ex pect the fast drying you get from the new dryers. What causes yellowing and tiny black spots on white pil lowcases? This is usually due to a com bination of perspiralion, hair oils and creams. Rub the yel low areas gently with a soft brush and full strength liquid detergent or hair shampoo. Follow with regular hot water wash and bleach occasionally. Be sure to use enough deter gent. Black specks are tiny drops of oil that settle on fabrics and collect dirt if wash water Music, Story On Program For Women of Unity is not hot enough or if water softener is needed. Lint In the washer plagues many homcmakers. Make sure not to wash linty fabrics along with dark clothes. Turn clothes inside out to keep lint from sticking to the outside. Rinse out the tub after wash ing such things as flannels, sweaters, terry towels or dia pers. , Maybe you're skimping on detergent. Detergent helps keep lint suspended so it can't settle on clothes. If adding more causes a flood of suds, then try a low sudsing prod uct. And if you use the wash water over again, add a little more detergent for the second load of clothes. Smart Homemakers Tell Us: To prevent spilling when you pour liquid from a bowl, touch the handle of a knife (in vertical position) to the bowl rim. Pour down the knife and liquid will run in a steady stream.
