There are just about as many
ways to decorate the outside of
your house for the holidays as there
are people in the world. However,
dreaming up an attractive design
and figuring out how to do it often
seems like a bit of a project to
many homeowners who want out-
door lighted decorations.
There's good news this year, how-
ever, in a new type of Christmas
lighting equipment especially de-
signed to take the guesswork out of
“how-to-do”’ it and speed up the
job.
A simple technique including
strips of bulbs, makes it possible
for every homeowner to accomplish
outdoor holiday lighting displays
with the flair of an expert designer.
This mewest lighting product, as
shown in the sketch above, is
available completely wired and
ready to use. Strips which are two,
three and six feet in length come in
both rigid and flexible styles. Also
on the market are other shapes in-
cluding stars, circles, diamonds, ap-
proximately 14 inches in diameter.
Simply by combining these two
pieces of equipment, dozens of
lighting patterns are possible. The
manufacturer even includes a num-
ber of patterns for stars, wreaths,
greetings, festoons, bells and other
designs.
Strips use regular C-7% and cir-
cles, C-9% outdoor Christmas, bulbs.
One of the greatest advantages
of this new technique is its prac-
ticality, say lighting experts. De-
signs can be added to and changed
from year to year. The equipment
is as easy to store and handle as
it is to put up.

SUDDEN DEATH ON THE HIGHWAY
THE FRONT WHEELS of a giant trailer truck rest atop the almost unrec-
ognizable mass of rubber and metal that a few moments before had
been a jeep pulling out of a side road near Ruffsdale, Pa. The clenched
hand (arrow) of the driver of the jeep, Hillery Elliott, who was killed
instantly, rises grotesquely from the wreckage.

THE POST, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1952
Lighted Wreath
though each side of this octagon is
18 inches, you may want to design
your wreath to a size better suited
to your won house.
Before greens and lights were
added to the wreath above, it was
painted dark green to harmonize
with the natural greens.
The half-cylinder candle in the
center of the wreath was covered
with translucent
shower curtain
material in plain
white. As sketch-
ed at the left, the
candle is fash-
ioned over a sim-
ple frame of coat
hanger wire with
a wooden top and
bottom. Porcelain
sockets at top and
bottom hold the flame-shaped bulb
at the top and the regular 25-watt
household bulb at the bottom which
lights up the candle. Notice how a
little door is provided at the bot-
tom of the candle to allow con-
venient access to the lower bulb.
Noxen Students Complete
Christmas Club Project
Noxen eighth grade mathematics
students under instruction of Mrs.
Martha Russ [Smith have recently
completed ‘their [Christmas [Club
banking project, and all school de-
positors have their money back.
First grade, Mrs. Eva Rundell, tea-
cher, won the banner ten times out
of twelve for percentage of pupils
depositing. Ninety-two students from
Noxen elementary deposited $405
during twelve weeks since Septem-
ber. Mrs. Marjorie Hughs' fifth
grade made the largest deposits.
Bill Patton, head cashier, work-
ing with six tellers, one for each
grade room, handled the ‘project,
making out deposit slips and with-
drawals for [First National Bank of
Dallas. At the end of the period,
there mwas complete balancing of
books, with not a cent of error. Tel-
lers for each room figured out de-
nominations of bills and currency,
counted out money for each en-
velope, sealed it and made delivery
on Thursday.
Tellers were Robert Keiper, Ruth
Galka, Larry Lane, Ray Tomsen,
Julia Patton, and Nancy Space.
In January mathematics students
start their annual sale of savings
stamps and bonds.
In line with work accomplished,
eighth grade students were con-
ducted through Miners National
Bank, Wilkes-Barre, last Friday,
visiting ‘all departments, Upon com-
pletion of their tour, they visited
Mercy Hospital and Veterans Hos-
pital, making a full day of it.
Three mothers, Mrs. Julie [Scott,
Mrs. Eloise Montross, and Mrs.
Trevia Brobst, collaborated with Mrs.
Smith in furnishing car transpor-
tation,
