Lighthouse Theme of Seals
: Symbolic of Guidance and
Protection for Mankind
The lighthouse theme of this
year's Christmas seals, sold
throughout the United States to
aid the unrelenting drive on tu
berculosis, has a classic symbol
ism, according to Mrs. Burt E.
Hawkins, county chairman of the
aeal sale for the Klamath County
Public Health association.
: A lighthouse is a structure
erected to carry a light for the
purpose of warning or guidance
in connection with marine or
aerial navigation. Lighthouses
symbolize protection. They dot
the shores of the United States
just as the tuberculosis associa
tions dot the cities and towns,
warning and guiding the people
against treacherous currents and
the shoals of indifference to a
, Serious health problem.
The broad theme of light
houses provided the inspiration
for Artist Steven Dohanos who
painted this year's Christmas
seal. With breadth and dignity
and artistic excellence he de
picted the winter-swept light
house scene. Warmth and secur
ity are suggested in the lights
of the keeper's house, his over
turned boat protected from the
weather, and the footprints in
the snow leading to his cozy cot
tage. Surmounting this is the
light Itself, bold in illumination,
beaming outward into the night,
ascertain beacon for those who
would be guided to desired se
curity. ' And that, in essence, is the
message of the Christmas seals
tiny beacons lighting the way for
the unceasing fight on tuberculo
sis. Letters bearing the seals to
contributors throughout the
county will be put in the mail
on December 1 by Mrs. Don
Drury, chairman of the mailing
committee, in order that these
colorful seals may bear their
messages far and wide on letters
and packages during the holiday
monin.
Fabric Welcome as
Gift for Woman
More and more women .who

dolph Ruzicks, George Vaughan,

Yuletide Furloughs Promised
About 800,000 Service Men
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28 (AP)
The army said Merry Christmas
a month in advance today with
the tidings that between 700,000
and' 800,000 soldiers would get
xuieiioe lunoughs.
By the war department's esti
mate, approximately half of the
land .forces will be granted
leaves to go home for the holi
days and this raised the prospect
of -the biggest Christmas trans
portation rush in more than two
decades.
Belief was expressed, Never
theless, that there would be
enough trains for the troops,
without undue snarling of rail
way passenger or freight schedules.
In cooperation with the Asso
ciation of American railways,
planes are being made to move
service men to tljeir homes well
in advance of the rush which
normally reaches a peak on
Christmas eve.
As far as possible, soldiers are
to be released on two dates, De
cember 12 and December 20. de
pending on whether they receive
iunougns of one month or two
weeks. They are due back in the
ranks on January 12 and Janu
ary 4, respectively.

Spurred by the jinalo of nation.

uou national Christmas shouoinu
splurge is in the making this
season, merchandise trade ex
perts here estimated today.
oucn a volume of business
would exceed that of the boom
year 1929 by more than 5 per
cent and would bo 11 per cent
more tnan last year.
Ihese estimates were coinuilod
by a survey of the nation's
wholesale and retail trade dur
ing the past 12 years prepared
unoer uie direction of Percv
Vilson, director of Chicago's
Merchandise mart.
with preparations comulotc
for the flood of buying already
unaer way in Uie name of Santa
Claus, merchandisers were
ported by mart officials to be
ready with shelves and display
rooms wen stocked despite pri
orities and material shortages
Considering the increased flow
of dollars, merchandisers do not
expect higher costs of goods,
taxes, restrictions on installment
buying and shortages of some
materials to stem the trade
volumn.
Wilson said the survey showed
that although holiday business
will be the largest on record, it
will not keep pace with the
year's average increase of 18.9
per cent in retail trade so far
because there was an unusual
purt in Christmas sales last year
as first effects of the defense
program were felt.
The increase in dollar-volume
of business will not fully reflect
the huge amount of goods to be
sold, he said, because Drices av
erage 12.5 per cent lower for
Christmas items than in 1929. He
estimated that the total amount
of merchandise to be sold will
be almost 20 per cent more than
in 1929.

A woman can't go blindly
forth into the shopping battle
without the right apparel. The
following is a summary of what
milady should obtain before the
day of buying approaches so she
win De ready to match what on
slaught that may arise.
First and most important there
is the money angle to think of.
Sit your husband down to the
supper table and sneak into the
bedroom, look through his pock
eta and purse, and your reward
will probably.be enough money
to get by on. It doesn't matter
what you buy your husband be
cause it's his money anyway.
On these busy shopping days,
with all those pick-pockets run
ning wild, a money belt would
be about the safest place for the
money. If you can't get one,
your purse will do if you hang
on to it for dear life.
Start tomorrow on your shop
ping, not Just because it's early
but Uncle Sam is seeine to It that
there isn't that extra amount of
anything in any store.

but the idea is good; minht as
well throw away your budget
book too because when Christ

floats away and you never know
what happened to it.
Last, but not least, another
very useful object to take along
is your . . . husband. Think of
all the nice things you can have
him do. Ho can take you to
lunch, help with selecting, and
be the human delivery truck. He
may complain but this is Christ

when the day comes that he re
