LOST AXIS SHIPS AID BOND SALES
New Palestine Legion Devises Unique Method to Help Campaign.
The latest idea for buying defense bonds came today out of the idea department of the New Palestine American Legion Post 182. For every Axis ship over 4000 tons sunk or seized by the Allies, the post will purchase a bond. This becomes effective immediately and the 55 post members are on the alert
for ship news. Before the new idea was hatched,
the post bought a bond to help celebrate its Christmas party given for 90 children Friday night.
The Madison Ave, Bank’s youngest defense bond customer to date is l4-months-old James William Tomlin, 5702 Shelby St. Assisted by his mother, Mrs. James FF, Tomlin, and his grandfather, James L. Tomlin, Master James negotiated the purchase of a $25 bond yesterday.
Ld ” ® Then there are the two North Side youngsters who have purchased $20 worth of stamps from the profits of a thriving Christmas wreath business.

Food Scarce, Gifts Costly: England Has Odd Christmas
By WILLIAM H. STONEMAN Co! 1941, by The Indiana s Times A Chicago Daily ey Inc.
LONDON, Dec. 25.—England celebrated one of the strangest Christmases in its memory—a Christmas devoid of just about everything that could make it merry.
There were family parties all over the country and on country estates there were the usual gatherings, minus sons and brothers and fathers, who are fighting in the Near East, in Asia, or at sea. There were presents of a sort, but more modest than usual and there were fewer of them, a tribute to the ration system. Lots of people were unable to have the typical Christmas dinner because of shortage of ingredients. Shopping this year was a headache for householders and a catastrophe for their pocketbooks. Ducks, turkeys, chickens and geese were as rare as gold nuggets and they were twice as expensive as in peace time. Ducks were the equivalent of 60 cents a pound, chickens the same, turkeys about 80 cents, geese 40 cents. Decent wine is hard for ordinary people to find nowadays and whisky is only being sold to special customers. The price of presents was sky high. A nice handbag at a good shop cost from $25 on up, a pair of gloves that used to sell for $1 cost $3. Some of the simplest toys for children were prohibitively expensive. Leader soldiers which used to cost about 30 cents apiece were 90. A doll’s perambulator was priced at the equivalent of $14. A little wood and paper game such as you would put in a child’s stocking was $2.50. Americans here are enjoying the sarmce hospitality from their English iriends which they have had showered on them in years past. Many of them were invited to four or five different country ' places. Unfortunately, most of them are too busy with their jobs to get away. It is verboten to say anything about the weather but the Germans may not profit by information that
this is not any white Christmas in England. One source of very keen satisfaction is that the Germans themselves are having a very white Christmas in Russia. That is the nicest Christmas present the Allies could have.
‘JEALOUSY SLAYER IS GIVEN LIFE TERM
RUSHVILLE, Dec. 25 (U. P.).— The “jealousy” slaying of Mrs. Lillian Hilligoss, 52, Rushville widow, ended in life imprisonment today for her 69-year-old suitor and selfconfessed murderer, Wesley Woods, convicted just five days after the crime occurred. Woods, a Rushville carpenter, pleaded guilty to a first-degree murder charge in Rush Circuit Court yesterday and was sentenced to a life term in the Michigan City State Prison by Judge William F. Marshall. Two doctors appointed by the Court testified that Woods was of sound mind when he was examined, and on the night of Dec. 18 when he appeared at the door of the ¢ | Hilligoss home and killed the widow with two blasts from a shotgun. Fifteen minutes after the slaying, | i Woods surrendered to police. Ho |X told them he had “no regrets” for what he had done. Woods had lived at the Hilligoss home six years until two weeks be-
victim. Police described the killing as prompted by jealousy.
