“Up Fronl” quite a bit. “Forever Amber,” according to the records, will be piled under many trees this year, too. Other popular books for Christmas gifts are the Indiana engagement calendar, the New England calendar, Walter Benton's “This Is My Beloved” and a two-volume biography of Lincoln, “Lin. coln The President.”

Movie Nomenclature MISS SHERLEE TURNER is having name trouble. About six months ago she went to Hollywood and récently finished her first picture, “Genius in the Family.” The film stars Myrna Loy and Don Ameche. But now Hollywood wants to change her name, They say that “Sherlee” is too difficult-for easy reading and easy sounding. But Miss Turner is well satisfied with the name she has and can’t think of another she likes better. . , . There's one person, however, who agrees with Hollywood as far as the name changing is concerned. He is Shirley (Bud) Turner, Times _ proofreader. Bud continually gets mall addressed to Miss Turner. , . . Sherlee came home for Christmas and will head for Hollywood again Wednesday. She had just finished her movie when her brother, Seaman l-¢ Jimmy Turner, landed on the West coast. They came home together to visit their parents, Mr, and Mis. Thomas Turner, 115 E. 21st st. annex. . . . Miss Turner started out as a teen-age radio commentator for station WLBC in Muncie when she was 15.. Later she moved from New Castle to Indianapolis. In 1942 she was graduated from Shortridge high school and then she made radio her full-time work. B8he has been with WIRE on a “Mostly About Hollywood” program. She has worked for Ayres’ subdeb department. And she has done network radio programs since she has been in Hollywood. She attributes her luck in getting into movies to her ‘ yadio work.

Classics in China By William H. Newton

SHANGHAI, Dec. 24.—Lt. Jonathan Sternberg of Brooklyn raised: his baton, the Shanghai Municipal Symphony orchestra swung into the openihg bars of the Chinese national anthem, and one more international incident was successfully avoided. The Shanghai Symphony is an international organization, composed of some fine, temperamens= tal, and patriotic French, Russian, Chinese and British musicians. The orchestra was pleased to invite Lt. Sternberg to direct it. The lieutenant, who once conducted the national youth administration orchestra, is sweating out the army point system in Shanghai. . “Gentlemen,” said Lt. pe berg, “I am greatly honored by " this {nvitation. We will rehearse on Tuesday and Saturday. We will open the concert with the Chinese national anthem and with the Star Spangled Banner.

Socialist Republics!” fei “But, gentlemen,” said Lt. Sternberg. “Please! If we play all those pieces we won't have any time feft for the symphony concert, or Stravinsky's Firebird Suite.” 5 The French violinist clasped his hand to his brow.

‘Christmas Towns" Ready

By ROBERT

United Press Stall Correspondent SANTA'S ADVANCED GHQ, North Pole, Dec. 24.—The last reindeer was harnessed and the last sleigh bell po-

lished today. “Tell me, Santa,” one of you ride tonight ?” Santa laughed.

“Why, I'll go to every village or nook,” he said. “I'll travel over sophisticated cities, and states of great fame. But the towns I love best all wear a Christmas name.” “They'll all be ready to greet you, sir,” the dwarf said,

Here are the Christmas towns and how they plan to greet Santa:

NOEL, VA.—Christmas will be lonely in Noel this year. | Only two families live here now. Mrs. W. T. Anderson, great niece | of the man for whom Noel was named, will celebrate with her husband. : Perhaps theyll exchange pres- | ents with the family who rents | the house across the road. . -~ . SANTA CLAUS, IND.-Post-master Oscar Philipps rolled up his sleeves and shook his head. “We've already handled nearly 400,000 pieces of mail," he said. People all want that postmark, Santa Claus.

n » MISTLETOE, KY.—Christmas celebrations in Mistletoe won't be elaborate. There are only 30 people here to hail Santa, - . CHRISTMAS COVE, ME.-This little fishing and boat building hamlet of 50 persons today was

Food is plentiful in Denmark but clothing, heating and transport still are far below par. There will be no coffee, tea, chocolate, wines, oranges or tobacco on Danish Christmas tables due to lack of transport. The 300,000 German refugees now under guard in Danish prisons and camps will get an extra meal and will be allowed to attend church services, ; »
