service the II. R. O. intends to
offer. Later, another survey
will be made, to determine ttie
extent the II. R. O. can help
property owners to convert un-
desirable rent properties into
first class living quarters. Since
Coleman has been definitely
recognized as a Defense Area
and can now operate under Title
6 of the Federal Housing Act,
Ibis second survey should prove
interesting to property owners
j who have been considering
I building new houses and apart-
j ments for rent or remodeling
! and reconditioning old ones,
j "In order to complete the
first survey in the shortest pos-
I sible time, all civic and social
organizations, churches and
schools will be asked to donate
| time and effort in this important
| work. As previously announced,
the Homes Registration Office
j is set up by and is directly re-
| sponsibte to the United States
Government. It is a Defense
j Project and for this reason
should merit the attention and
i consideration of all our citizens.
| When the survey gets under
1 way next Monday, the 22nd,
! everyone is asked to cooperate
i tji the various committees by
giving every possible bit of in-
! formation that might help cure
I the present housing shortage.
"Persons willing to cooperate
! by volunteering a few hours of
j their time for the survey please
j call Chamber of Commerce,
Dial 3141.”
Allct Marble, world's champion woman tennis player, on a
recent visit to Texas State College for Women, told physical edu-
cation majors during a tennis demonstration that “easy does it."
“Don’t strain. It’s rhythm not muscles that make a winner
bn the tennis court. Learn to relax and follow through,” advised
the tennis champion who is also a designer of women's sports
clothes and a radio singer. •*

Before trimming your Chrisl-

the following ideas and decide
which yours will be. The six
Christmas trees described lie-
low, are trimmed in amazingly
new and different ways.
The “Coronado” is typically

dian relics and dazzling yellow
lights.
“Colonial” is early America j
in every detail, trimmed with
miniature wooden churns, log
cabins, candle sticks, Indians,
turkeys and colonial dolls. Green
colored lights and silver tinsel
complete the color interest.
The “Student" does every-
thing but say "Rah, rah”,. . var-
ious colored lights shine on gau-
dy trimmings and erasures, cra-
yons, pencils and slates for class-
room touim.
The “Maritime” is nautically
trimmed with clipperdiips, an-
chors, sloops and buoys. Blue
lights gleam through clouds of
angel hair.
“Victorian” is brilliant with
white lights and tinseled bran-
ches and is decorated all over

The "Canine” is an amusing
idea to please the canine niem-|
Per of the family. Decorated)

Those people who think of
Alaska as a land of ice and
snow are mistaken!
It seems that several of the
Far North communities were
noticeably — even embarrass-
ingly—lacking in snow last
Christmas, and many Alaskian
boys and girls who got new
sleds from Santa wgre vfery
disappointed.
in Seward, citizens were
making plans to haul in several
loads of snow from the moun-
tains to pile around the Christ-
mas trees on Fourth avenue as
a reminder that it really was
the holiday season in the ‘“blear:
and frozen north.” A slight
fall of snow came just in time
to save them the trouble, how-
ever.
In Ketchikan, a snowless
Christmas war. celebrated, but
this is not unusual for Ketchi-
j kan, where December 25, 1940,
j was the eighteenth snowless
, Christinas since 1917.
