Consider Interest Safety
In Buying Gifts For Children
Two points should be kept in
mind when buying gifts for
children, according to M i s s
Audrey Morgan, head of t h e
family life department of t h e
University of Georgia Agricul
tural Extension Service.
First, choose the gift to suit
the child, and second, be sure
it is safe, Miss Morgan suggests.
To be of real value, the
gift must be suited to the par
ticular child’s interests and
abilities, and these are not ne
cessarily the same for children
of the same age, she points out.
As an example of this, books
make excellent gifts for child
ren, but must be selected to
suit the child’s interest and
reading ability.
The old favorites are always
good for children, but their in
terests have broadened to in
clude so many other things
that books on science, nature |
any many other subjects are j
now enjoyed by many.
Some children even enjoy I
books and articles which they
cannot read alone, but get a
great deal out of when some- '
one reads to them.
Illustrations should also be
considered in books for youngs- i
ters, she advises.

11 Safety, the second consider
r ation she suggests, should al
s • ways be looked for in buying
• I gifts for children.
;I Toys for small children
• i should be without sharp cor-
I ners and edges and be sturdily
i built. Watch for small parts
. that unscrew or can other wise
I be detached easily.
. Stuffed toys should be well
sewn and made of firm ma
terial. Attached parts — eves,
hair. etc. — should be firmly
snapped or sewn on, not wired
or pinned.
Metal toys should not have
small parts, fold-over tabs or
. small nuts and bolts that can
be taken off. All edges should
be rolled-not sharp.
‘‘Look for toys and books
that will stimulate the child’s
imagination and interest and
that will be safe for him to use,”
Miss Morgan urges, “to make
I sure that Christmas will be a
; happy season for children.”
“Wash” refers to waves cre
ated by a boat as they come
■ ashore, or roll against piers or
I stopped boats. “Wake” refers
chiefly to the pattern of dis
j turbed water left by a bead.—«

Postmaster Gives Tips
On Christmas Mailing
Ten tips on good Christmas
mailing practices were given to
day by Covington Postmaster
E. L. Stephenson. The pointers
are:
1. Mail Christmas cards and
parcels for distant states in ad
vance of December 10, and for
local delivery not later than
December 16. and remember
that the best time to avoid
crowds in most post offices in
before 10 A. M.. or between
1:30 and 3:30 P. M. Also, use
stamp vending machines if
stamp windows are crowded.
2. Address mail correctly —
including full name and ad
dress, postal zone numbers and
your return address; write or
print clearly.
3. Although Christmas cards
may be sent unsealed for a 3-
cent rate, the 4-cent first class
sealed rate is desirable be
cause it automatically assures
forwarding if the addressee has
moved and left a new address,
or the card is returned if it is
undeliverable (provided the
sender has put a return address
on it).
4 Don't mail money in
Christmas gifts or parcels. Use
postal money orders or checks.
5. When making a large mail-
I ing of Christmas cards, separate

them into "local” and "out-of
town” bundles, using adhesive
bands which may be obtained
from your local post office.
6. Pack and wrap securely.
Cushioning should be placed on
all sides of the Christmas gift,
and the carton should be wrap
ped in heavy paper and tied
with strong twine. (Also, place
a card with your own return
address as well as the destina
tion address inside the parcel
to aid in delivery if the outside
wrapper should be lost).
7. Parcels containing delicate :
gifts must be marked “fragile,”
and foodstuffs should be mark
ed “perishable” if they are sub
ject to spoilage.
8. Insure parcels and register
letters of real value. Where on
ly proof of delivery is desired
for letters of no intrinsic value,
Certified Mail is useful.
9. Use Combination Mail
where a letter or message
(other than a gift tag) is to be
enclosed inside a Christmas
package.

know the answer to a mailing
problem - ask. Postal Em- ;

I Gave T B
The Brush
By Stevan Dohanos
National Honorary
Christmas Seal Chairman
I am an artist. You’ve prob
ably seen some of my maga
zine covers on the news stands.
But you may not know that for
many years now I have been
using my brush to fight tu
berculosis. I’ve painted many
posters about TB and I design
ed the 1941 Christmas Seal.
My interest in TB came from
heartbreaking personal ex
perience. I lost a younger
brother and sister to this dread
killer and I had two struggles
with tuberculosis myself — in
1932 and 1941.
I was lucky. But thousands
like my brother and sister die
of TB every year. Those who
are fighting to control TB need
all the help they can get. That
is why I was glad to serve as
National Honorary Chairman
of the 1960 Christmas Seal
Campaign.
Through the Christmas Seal
Campaign, TB associations
fight tuberculosis in your com
munity. The Christmas Seals
help to find new cases of TB
so they can be treated, improve
treatment through research and
in many other ways battle our
nation's foremost infectious
killer —TB.
I urge everyone to give, not
only of their dollars, but also
of their energies, time, and tal
ents in the fight to control
tuberculosis. I hope they will
get the same inner satisfaction
that I have.
♦ ♦ ♦ •
Some Questions About TB
—And The Answers
Here are the questions peo
ple most often ask about tu
berculosis, with the answers.
If I get TB, what are my
chances of a cure? Excellent,
if your illness is found early
enough and you complete the
treatment your doctor pres
cribes. There are 1,750,000 peo
ple living today who once had
active TB.
Can TB be cured at home?
In a few cases, yes. But most
TB patients should start treat
ment in the hospital, where
there are laboratories to make
all the necessary tests, a staff
lof doctors to plan treatment, j
j and good nursing care.
How long would I have to
stay in the hospital? There is
no one answer to this question,
since each TB patient is dif
ferent. TB cure may take sev
eral months in the hospital and
continued treatment at home
I for a year or two.
I How is TB cured today? TB
: is treated most with drugs, to j
| help bring the germs under I
J control. Good food and rest are |
1 also important. Surgery may
; be needed to remove part of a
damaged lung.
Once I am cured of TB, can
I get it again? It’s possible, un
less you are careful to eat the
proper food, get enough rest,
avoid emotional stress, and
keep your resistance high so
you don’t get frequent infec
tions.
■ How can I tell if I have TB 9

stages TB causes no symptoms

State Income
Up in November
With the state’s net revenue
collections for November show
ing an increase of $3,880,000
over a year ago, Georgia s in
come is more than $15.5-mu
i lion ahead for the first five
months of the current fiscal
vear, according to figures re-
Uwd bv State Revenue Com
missioner Dixon Oxford.
November’s comparative to-
Itals were $26,912,084 this year
and $23,031,771 last year. The
July - November live-month
totals: $141,485,380 this year
and $125,944,000 a year ago.
If this rate of increase contin
ues through June 30, Georgia
net tax take should be about
$393 - million for the y ea . r - an
increase of some $ 35-mil ^° n
over fiscal 1959 60, the com
missioner observed.
