It also will seek solutions for hazards and make recommendations to the proper authorities. ‘Albany Merchant May Have Sent First Yule Card Seek Authorative Proof Of Origin of Greeting Who really did send the first Christmas card—and when—is a controversy that has never been settled. The chief contenders for the honor are an obscure 16-year-old engraver’'s apprentice in London, {goods merchant in Albany, N. Y. | The historic first Yuletide card |was probably designed in the |age stamp and Charles Dickens | famous novels were teaching Eng- {land “how to keep Christmas [ well.” | The merchant was R. H. Pease, | who operated a dry goods store in Albany from 1834 to 1856. Some- time during that period he com- missioned an artist named Forbes to draw the Christmas card that certainly was the first in Amer- ica, and perhaps the first in the world. Combining sentiment with bus- iness, the lithographed card had a line of rustic lettering across the top reading, “Peasg’s Great Variety Store In The Temple Of Fancy.” Beneath appeared the formal Christmas greeting and several panels showing a family group, toys, a Christmas dinner, and a wassail bowl. Unfortunately, Forbes put ro date on the card. Greeting card publishers — who would like to claim world-wide honors for the U. S.—are still searching attics and old trunks in up-State New York for evidence that will final- ly settle the mystery. The official title-holder is Wil- liam Maw Egley, who was ‘only 16 when he designed his Christ- mas card in a London garret in 1842 and printed 100 copies for his friends. Typically English, the card pictures the Christmas pan- tomine “Harlequin and Colum- bine,” a puppet booth, skaters outdoors, and a formal banquet. Because the date on the card is slightly obscured, some historians award the honor to an elab- orate Christmas greeting card de- signed in London in 1846 for Sir Henry Cole, who had 1,000 copies engraved for his personal use. The first complete line of Christmas cards in the U. S. was printed in Boston in 1874 by Louis Prang, a German immi- grant who later became known as “Father of the American Christ- mas Card.” Protect Roses in Winter Roses need some protection in the winter says A.

Addressing the 62nd annual ses- sion, held in Pittsburgh, Charles O'Neill, president of the “Central Pennsylvania Coal Producers’ As- sociation, declared: “The lingering hope retained by some operators that they are going. to return to a non-union status, or get released by some means or other from a basic wage agreement, 1s nonsense. That day is not returning now or ever.” He pointed to UMW demands for a “spread the work” program and said operators should start now to organize a committee with the power to deal with the union for the entire bituminous indus- try. At the convention banquet, Har- ry W. Moses, president of the H. |C. Frick Coke Co., called rela- tions with the UMW “the major internal problem” of the indus- try and said: “I cannot see the solution of many of the problems which we face unless our relationships with [the UMW improve to the point where the necessary degree of ts is brought about.” O’Neill Tells Coal Operators Here to Stay Speaking on the state of the in- dustry, Moses predicted a 1948 production of about six hundred million tons and added: “In the long run I feel that the coal industry can overcome its competition if under a pro- gressive leadership its markets are developed through a sincere effort to serve the needs of the user of our product.” Moses also warned institute members the “lush market” may be over, bringing a ‘period of shakedown.” He said payrolls were up 268.8 per cent since 1939 while the level of production rose only 56 per cent over the 1935-39 period. He added: “If we expect to cre- ate a favorable cost and quality level, we must offset our increas- es in costs by a continuous vast investment of capital at constant- ly increasing price levels, for new plants, new machinery and new processes for the production and benefication of coal as rapidly as the technicians of our industry can develop them.” . Moses declared the soft coal in- dustry needed tax revision more than any other industry. He also called for more progress in the field of mine safety. In the election of officers, Den- nis J. Keenan, mine inspector, of Barnesboro, was chosen as third | vice president of the association. 32 North Cambrians Drawn 2-Week Session Slated To Begin On Jan. 3 One hundred and thirty-one persons have been named to the traverse jury which will serve during a two weeks’ session of civil court in Ebensburg next month.

"To Serve Civil Court Juries [Parents Urged to Be Sure Santa's Sack Holds Safety A toy maker says only a few parents will select the proper playthings for their children this Christmas. Most will buy toys that please themselves rather than the children. The National Safety Council adds that too few parents will keep safety in mind when they choose toys, because they fail to realize the hundreds of ways that children get hurt. Here are the hazards to avoid in choosing toys the for various es: The Hand to Mouth Age (up fo 2 years)—Avoid small toys which can be placed in the mouth, flam- mable objects, toys with small wheels or knobs that can be pull- ed off, poisonous paint on any object, stuffed animals with glass or button eyes (most of them will come off. Either remove at once or buy animals with stitched eyes. The Explorative Age (2 to 3 years)—Avoid anything with a sharp or rough edge which will cut or scratch, objects with small removable parts, poisonous paint or crayons, marbles, beads, jacks, flammable objects. The Let’s Pretend Age (3 to 4 years)—Avoid toys too heavy for child’s strength, sharp or cutting toys, cowboy suits or other cos- | tumes which are not flameproof- ed, and electrical toys. . The Creative Age (4 to 6 years) —Avoid shooting or target toys | which will endanger eyes, sharp | whistles, horns or other mouth] objects that can be fallen on,| sharp scissors or cutting instru-| ments, sewing machines. The Dexterity Age (6 to 8 years)—Avoid electrical toys not approved by Underwriters’ Lab- oratories, transportation toys that entice children into the street, sharp-edged tools, conductible ki- tes and dart games. The Specialization Age (8 and older)—Avoid air rifles, chemis- try sets, darts, bows and arrows, dangerous tools, electrical toys— unless used under parental super- vision—motor scooters or motor- ized bicycles.

Cambria County's | December Draft List Made Public 3 Board 38 Enrollees Take Service Physicals Three Cambria County Draft Boards the other day listed the names of eight men who will ans- wer the call to the colors this month. Three men will be sent from Board 41 and two from Board 40, both with headquarters in the Carnegie Building Jhonstown, and three from Board 38, with head- quarters in Ebensburg. Those called from board 38 will go to Altoona on Friday of this week. They are Anthony Zucco, Chester Leonard Keith and Calvin Arlington, Jr. Under the present setup the in- ductees go to Altoona and from there are sent to Ft. Knox, Ky., for basic training. Draft board of- ficials did not know if the eight men called as the December quo- ta will be given leaves for the Christmas holidays. For security reasons draft board authorities declined to disclose addresses of those scheduled for induction. Addresses are withheld the board members said, as a protection for the inductee as well as members of his family. Board clerks in Cambria Coun- ty are sending out questionnairs to all men who registered under the Selective Service System. The forms are being sent to all men whether they are ex-servicemen or not. It was pointed out, however, that the forms do not mean the recipient is subject to draft call. Boards simply are seeking neces- sary additional information re- garding all registrants. At present cnly men between 16 and 25, who are single and nen-veterans, are subject to im- mediate military service. —Three Pennsylvania cities Talk Of A-Bomb With Due Respect, Says Lilienthal People who minimize the atom bomb’s destructive power are playing into Russian hands, Da- vid E. Lilienthal says. The chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission told the Wo- men’s National Press Club in the National Capital the other day that “some military men and some scientists’ now say the bomb is just another super block-buster.” “This down grading of the at- omic bomb is the attitude of the Kremlin,” Lilienthal said. If the country were to accept this idea, he said, it might spur a drive to return the atomic en- ergy commission to military con- trol—a move Lilienthal consist- ently has opposed. The program now is under the supervision of the five civilian members of the Atomic Energy Commission, Lilienthal also assailed the idea that supplies of uranium-—the A- bomb’s source material-—are too scarce for large-scale use of at- omic energy. He said that with- in the next 20 years a sizeable amount of the nation's electricity will be produced by atomic ener- gy plants. ~The “Grand Canyon of Penn- sylvania,” in Harrison State Park near Wellsboro, has a gorge al- most 50 miles long and more than 1,000 feet dep at some points.
