Is what to wear to those holiday parties a big problem?
Maybe you can solve it with less effort than you think.
Glitter seems to be a thing of the past. After-five wear is
more casual and practical than ever before and can be just as
elegant.
Ankle length skirts are “the fashionlook” whether entertaining
at home or attending the big party at the country club. So here
ar e ways to utilize that long elegant fashion look to your ad
vantage.
Blazers are big. Combine a brocade blazer with a crushed
velvet A-line skirt or a plaid blazer with cuffed velvet evening
pants.
Give that solid jumpsuir an evening lift—cover i t with a
quilted corduroy or quilted jersey skirt. Try a style that fastens
at the waist only and reveals the jumpsuit underneath.
Plaids are here again. For after-five it’s large plaids of
acetate taffeta. A very romatic look is a slightly gathered skirt
with a deep bias ruffle at the lower edge. Team this skirt with
a matching blouse—one with long sleeves and a high standing
collar.
You can have a set of switchables. Take a good-looking silk
or synthetic skirt, then select several skirts. Try an A-line
wrap skirt from fake fur insolidor animal print, a crushed velvet
with side slit, a patchwork print of wool-look acrylic in a
button-down-the-front style or an A-line style of quilted jersey.
Body suits make dressing easy. Many are designed to wear
as sweaters for a layered separate look. Select one with a mock
turtleneck and team it with a variety of skirts. For instance
choose a fake fur, a quilted jersey, a plaid taffeta with deep
ruffle.
Make long fashion your holiday fashion.
Some fish, like flounders, have both eyes on the same side of the
heed.

Dear Virginia
This most beautiful letter was written in 1897, written by
Francis P. Church of the New York Sun in answer to a letter
from a little girl, asking “Is there a Santa Claus?"
And today, and tomorrow, years and years from now, it will
remain as beautifully true as it was then.
Dear Virginia,
Your little friends are wrong. They have been affecte'd by the
skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except what
they see. They think that nothing can be which is not com
prehensible by their minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they
be men’s or children’s, are little.
In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant,
in his Intellect, as compared with the boundless world about
him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the
whole truth and knowledge.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.
He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist,
and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest
beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary would be the world if there
were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no
Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry,
no romance, to make tolerable this existence. We should have
no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light
with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in
Fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in
chimneys on Christmas evening to catch Santa Claus, but even
if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that
prove?
Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no slgq there is no Santa
Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither
children nor men can see.
Did you ever see Fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course-not,
but that’s no proof that they are not there.
You may tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the
noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which
not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the
strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart.
Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside
that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and
glory beyond.
Is it real?
Ah, Virginia, in all the world there is nothing else real and
abiding.
No Santa Claus? Thank God, he lives and he lives forever. A
thousand years from now, Virginia . . . nay, ten times ten
thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the
heart of childhood.

THE HAPPY FEEL OF
CHRISTMAS
Mamie Ozbum Odum
May the happy feel of Christmas
FUI your heart, to overflow
With hope and goodness
And with a Christlike glow.
Deck the halls with berried holly
Hang the mistletoe with glee,
Hang the star with regal honor
High up on the Christmas tree.
May the happy feel of Christmas
Clear and fill the air
As the carolers, sweetly singing
Bring joy for all to share.
May you find peace and under
standing,
And joy on Christmas Day,
With hope, love and courage
To guide your daily way.
May the happy feel of Christmas
Fill your sweetest thoughts and
dreams
As you meet your friends and
neighbors
In a Christlike love supreme.
May the happy feel of Christmas
Today and everyday, my dear,
Add sweetness to the season
And flow into the coming year.
The Tallulah Study
An in-depth study has con
cluded that Georgia Power Com
pany’s extensive land holdings
in •the area of Tallulah Gorge
hold great development poten
tial for recreation and leisure
activities, provided it is done
“within sound environmental li
mits.”
Titled “The Tallulah Study,’’
It looked at the land which lies
within the North Georgia Power
complex. This complex consists
of six power plants and reser
voirs formed by dams pn the
Tallulah and Tugalo rivers. The
reservoirs are Lakes Burton,
Seed, Tallulah, Rabun, Tugalo
and Yonah.
"The study poses several
courses of action that orderly
development could follow,” said
Georgia Power President Edwin
I. Hatch. “These possible op
tions are under advisement by
the North Georgia Mountains
Authority and Georgia Power.
“What can or will be devel
oped must still be decided,”
he added, “but the study pro
vides us a base on which to make
such decisions. It is also hoped
that the study will stimulate
public comment which will con
tribute to the ultimate de
cision.”
The study was conducted by
the planning staff of the North
Georgia Mountains Authority at
the request ofGeorgiaPower.lt
was promptedby renewed public
interest in the area resulting
from the high-wire walk of Karl
Wallenda over Tallulah Gorge
in 1970.
During five months of
intensive research, the authori
ty’s planning staff worked
closely with more than 100 peo
ple, including the Town Council
of Tallulah Falls, professional
consultants and private citi
zens.
The study noted that while Ge
orgia Power is a large land
holder, it is closely regulated
by governmental agencies and
has only marginal latitude for
land development. On the other
hand, it said, the mountains au
thority has the capability to
plan, finance and develop re
creational-oriented, public-in
nature facilities and activities,
but it has no land.
“These two institutiohs then
are so organized as to have the
potential of sponsoring together
a broad-based develonment in
(Llmstnias.
Old-fashioned ways have a special
meaning at Christmas. And, in this old-time
spirit, ever-new, we wish you and your
family the happiest holiday. Merry Christmas!

the mountains,” the study con
cluded.
It also noted the need to seek
and encourage private devel
opment within ecological limits.
Protecting the environment
and preserving the ecology' of
the land was considered throu
ghout the study and was always
given priority, according to the
planning staff.
“Tallulah Gorge is so spec
tacular, so scenic and so uni
que as to belong to the ages,”
said Chris T. Delaporte, direc
tor of the mountains authority.
1-75 Lanes
Open
The southbound lanes of 1-75,
from Forsyth to Macon has been
opened to traffic.
This 13 1/2 mile section of
the southbound lanes has been
closed to traffic since Septem
ber of this year for reconstr
uction and safety modification,
at a cost of $2,093,620.82.
These lanes were much older
than the northbound lanes along
this section of 1-75. They were
a portion of an old two-lane
highway. When 1-75 was built,
two new lanes were constructed
adjacent to them, for north
bound traffic.
1-75 is now open from Mar
ietta southward to the Florida
State line, and beyond; - and
from Cartersville northward to
the Tennessee State line.
