Purpose of the committee is to
promote greater safety on coun-
ty highways. The group not only
will recommend highway safety,
but also will put them into ef-
fect where possible.
Under present plans the com-

to discuss highway hazards in the
various sections. 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. O. Rasmussen
the extension ornamental horti
| culturist of the Pennsylvania St
|ate College. Hill some soil around
|the individual bushes, place a
{small screen of chicken wire
‘around each bush, and cover the
{mounded bush or bushes with
|leaves from hardwood trees.

Mine Union Is
Says Some Operators
Hope for Union’s End
About 575 members of the Coal
Mining Institute were warned on
Thursday last to prepare for the
1949 contract demands of the Un-
ited Mine Workers.
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.

Poison the Rats
Fortified red squill, either the
powder or liquid form, is the
safest rat poison to use, says E.
J. Udine, extension entomologist
of Penn State College. Some oth-
er poisons used for rats are ex-
eremely dangerous to other ani-
mals and humans. Red squill is
not only safe but effective.
"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.

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.

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.
