Sweetheart Chest is Holiday Hit
f & r
tSeat iw
.3^^***^ * _
It's all wrapped up in a sweetheart chest —her future, that is!
Chances are this young girl doesn’t need a card to reveal tne
gift-giver, for a cedar chest says more than “Merry Christmas
—it holds the promise of happy years ahead. Statistics snow
that 80 per cent of all sweetheart chests are purchased as guts,
mostly by young men with marriage on their minds.
The sweetheart chest is the first piece of furniture a young
couple shares. The chest stores treasured possessions being
saved for their future home in its deep cedar interior and be
comes a handsome decorative accent piece in the honeymoon
home. , . . . ..
Today's cedar chests offer a versatility in design and function
welcomed throughout the home from tne foyer to the bedroom.
Chests double as benches, cocktail tables, buffets, and dividers
in an abundance of styles and woods.
A cherished holiday gift, the sweetheart chest starts the home
for many of today’s romantic young modems.
Medical Care for Aged
Urged by Labor Secretary
Secretary of Labor Arthur J.
Goldberg, addressing a meet
ing of the Chicago Medical
School, urged '‘a sound system
of medical care” for the aged.
Declaring that every Ameri
can family will at some time
face the problem of making
provision for its own aging
members, the Secretary said:
‘‘ln these days of high taxes,
the burden upon the elderly—
those who can least among us
afford it — and upon our fam-
old. I have been a very good
little boy. I want you to brink
me a BB gun and a football and
baseball and some shoes. With
love,
Johnny McKibben
Dear Santa,
I am a little girl 3 years old.
I have been a very good little
girl. I want you to bring me a
blue car, a doll, paint book.
Don’t forget my sisters and
brothers. Please don’t forget
my baby sister. Don’t forget the
other little boys and girls who
don’t have a mamma and dad
dy. Please bring my mamma
and daddy something. Don’t
forget grandma and granddad
dy. Bye, with lots of love,
Cynthia McKibben.
Dear Santa Claus,
I want a play mobile and a
Kissie and I want a Thumbe
lina doll. I want a real ring
and I want a play typewriter.
I want a Georgia sweat shirt.
I wear a size six X.
Love,
Mary Anne Hays

THE COVINGTON NEWS
ilies is a very great one already.
As medical costs rise, and the
need for medical services grows,
that burden will grow.
‘‘Our social security system
is financially sound; as one of
the trustees of that system I
can vouch for that. The pro
posal to insure our citizens
through the prepaid social se
curity system is the logical,
sensible, and fiscally sound way
to provide for the medical costs
that we all face or will face.”
He termed this proposal an
“insurance program,” one that
would in no way constitute or
lead to “socialized medicine.”
“The Federal Government
has no intention or desire to
control in any way the medical
profession, or to dictate its con
duct or its responsibility for
providing medical care.”
The Secretary also urged ac
tion in meeting the mounting
shortage of .octors. This would
include a program of scholar
ship grants and an end to ar
bitrary quota systems — on
the basis of race, color, or creed
—used by some medical schools
in selecting students.
He said an Administration —
supported bill, known as t h e
Health Professions Educational
Assistance Act, would authorize
a program of scholarship
grants to schools of medicine,
osteopathy, and dentistry.
“This bill needs the support
of every citizen in the Nation,”
he said.
Discussing the extent of the
doctor shortage, Mr. Goldberg
pointed out that this year the
Nation graduated about 7,000
physicians from 85 medical
schools. It is estimated that the
equivalent of 20 new medical
schools must be added by 1975
to increase the annual number
to 10,000.
( However, “Russia is turning
out 14,000 doctors a year and
even exporting some to under
developed countries,” the Sec
retary said. “In the United
States, the present rate will
merely maintain the present
proportion of doctors to pa
tients, about 140 doctors for
every 100,000 in the country.”

Is There A Santa Claus?
(This question addressed to The Sun, New York.
received this reply):
We take pleasure in answering at once and thus promi
nently the communication below, expressing at the same
time our great gratification that its faithful author is num
bered among friends of The Sun:
Dear Editor: I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends
say there is n</Santa Claus. Papa says, “if you see it in The
Sun, it’s so.” Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus?
Virginia O’Hanlon.
» ♦ ♦ •
Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been
afflicted by the scepticism of a skeptical age. They do not
believe except they see. They think that nothing can be
which is not comprehensible by their little 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 exists, and you know
that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty
and joys. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were
no Santa Claus! 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 be
lieve in fairies. You might get your Papa to hire men to
watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve 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 sign that 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? Os
course, not, but that’s no proof that they are not there. No
body can conceive or imagine all the wonders that are un
seen and unseeable in this world.
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 or view and picture the supernal beauty
and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this
world there is nothing else real and abiding.
No Santa Caus! 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.
Disabled Vets,
। Dependents Urged
; Assemble Data
1 Disabled veterans and depen
-1 dents of deceased veterans now
5 on the Veterans Administration
pension rolls should start now
assembling all income data that
, will be needed to complete the
j annual income questionnaire
, which they will receive about
’ January 1.
Having thia information
ready when the questionnaire
arrives with their December
1 pension check will enable pen
sioners to complete and return
the income report promptly end
f insure their payments are not
’ being cut off because of late
’ reporting, Mr. A. W. Tate, Vet
j erans Administration Regional
! Office, Atlanta, Georgia, said
, today.
1 In reminding VA pensioner?
> a month early, Mr. Tate said:
- “The majority of the recipients
of VA pension checks forget
they have to make an annual
? income report until they re
l ceive the tabulating card no
■ tice with their checks early in
• January and lay it to one side
I until they gather the necessary
I information.”
L “They either get busy and
’ forget it, or do not have enough
, time to gather the information
to meet the 30-day deadline for
reporting, and find their pay
ments cut off, which the VA
must do by law,” he further
explained.
Mr. Tate pointed out that
many in receipt of non service
connected disability or death
pensions have income from self
employment, dividends or in
terest, or rental property which
, sometimes takes time to assem
ble and must be reported.
Pension laws stipulate that
payments can be made only to
those persons whose income re
mains under specified annual
maximums, all of which is out
lined in the instructions on the
card they will receive.
Mr. Tate added that veterans
and dependents of deceased vet
erans receiving compensation
payments for service-connected
disabilities or deaths are not
affected by income ceilings,
therefore will not have to make
I reports.
Let Christmas be a bright and
happy day; but let its bright

happiness be found in Christ j

If you are planning a big

and all the trimmings, be sure
to start out with a clean stove.
The National Board of Fire
Underwriters reminds that the
best way to avoid a grease fire
is to keep the stove clear of
grease. The Board recommends
scouring of the oven as a time
ly precaution.
Keep Grease Away
In addition, while cooking,
grease containers should be
kept away from the stove.
When frying food in a pan
on top of the stove, remember
that a large flat pan cover and
a long handle fork can be used
to smother a fire. If the grease

the fork and placing it © ver

Fire In A Pan
Fire in a frying pan can be
extinguished by sprinkling or
dinary baking soda or salt on
it. However if you do this, you
may have to get something else
to eat for supper.
One added note of caution:
Before you start cooking, check
the nearby window curtains
and hanging towels to be sure
they cannot blow over the
burners.
