Dig—These Crazy Christmas Gifts Even Christmas has caught up with the atomic age. A sign of the times is the increasing demand for Geiger counters as Christmas gifts. Manufacturers say people from all over the country are giving as presents the miracle instrument that noses out uranium. If you’re buying a gift for a prospective uranium prospector you can get him one of these radioactivity detection devices at prices ranging from $24.95 to S2OOO. Most popular model, manufacturers say, is about the size of a mineture camera and retails for about $35. Uranium “hounds” are as varied as the instruments they buy. They range from housewives with infants in their arms to geologists and hirsute prospectors—£s well as business tycoons, clerks, laborers and society women. An amateur uranium prospectors* club in the East, composed entirely of women, is known as the “Geiger Widows.” Last year gift Geigers were mailed all oyer the United States. One woman telephoned the New York office of a leading manufacturing firm from Florida to order a $1,995 unit as a Christmas surmise for her husband.

A Santa on your doorstep is a jolly way to greet holiday guests. Even if you're not artistic, you can easily create a Santa like the one above because General Electric artists designed it for people who can't draw straight lines. First, cover your door with red oilcloth, plastic or color-fast materlaL Then, from sheets of cotton, cut out just the front band of Santa’s cap, a ball for the tassel, cuffs for bis sleeves, a rounded strip for the bottom of his coat and a pair of tops for his boots. i Don’t forget his beard and two tiny tufts of eotton for eyebrows. Use buttons for eyes and larger ones down the front of his jacket. Secure these pieces to the red background. Notice in the sketch above that only tops of Santa’s boots are needed to complete the illusion. Complete your doorway with a frame of colored outdoor Christmas lights and greens and a lighted candle wreath. For highlights and sparkle. General Electric lighting specialists suggest that you place a pair of 150-watt projector floodlights about three feet from the door and aim them on Santa. all add variety. Be sure all wiring is in good condition for greatest safety. ___ For an unusual effect try attaching your strings of light spiral fashion alternating series and multiple lights. Begin at the top of the tree and wind your strings ’round and ’round for a diagonal effect. Coal generates almost half of the nation’s electricity.
