Wants the ‘Inside’ on Shaving
FOR EXAMPLE: How does a man shave so his face doesn't feel like he's been dancing cheek-to-cheek with a floor sander? Is it possible to get more than 20 shaves from one blade?

Christmas Picture
By Leo Turner
NEW YORK, Nov, 28—Christmas means whatever you think it does, 50 of America's top artists said today. It has a personal meaning. If you were going to paint a picture of what Christmas means to<you, what would you paint? Here are the answers to that question by some of the top American artists in the 1949 International Hallmark Art Award contest now drawing to a close. “Not a white Christmas,” said Eugene Berman of Los Angeles. “It is well to remember that many outstanding paintings dealing with Christmas represent warm lands and the sun. There is no snow in the Holy Land. A Mexican handscape or scene can be appropriate.” : “A of Indian boys sliding down a gentle incline,” said Howard Cook of Taos, N. M,, “Portrays the universal feeling for beauty and joy in childhood at this wondrous time of the year.”
Selects Own Family oe PHILIP EVERGOOD of East Patchogue, N. Y., selected his own family. “My children embfacing amidst their Christmas toys,” he said, represents the better side ‘of mankind. A church window, sald Samuel Bookatz of Washington, D. C., gives the “full emotional impact of gothic grandeur.” Leonora Cretone of Boston agreed on a church to give the Christmas feeling, but insisted on an
old Vermont church as “a symbol of American tradition and spirit.” ; Robert F. Gates of Vienna, Va., said & picture of a small florist shop with a few wreaths, plants and Christmas trees still piled around, represented! Christmas to him because “I spent many Christhas vacations working in my grandfather's florist shop.” : ; A young mother and her newborn babe, said Maxim Kopf of New York, “a young and modest, mother, and in the background, through the broken stable wall in the night sky, is the symbolic star.”
Madonna in Prayer
MIRIAM O'MALLEY of Webster Groves, Mo., decided on a picture of a Madonna in prayer. “It gives a picture of the only hard part of Chris tianity: Forgiving others,” she said. Arthur Osver of Long Island City, N. Y., chose a Christmas star shining above the Brooklyn bridge. ’ Virginia Banks of Seattle, Wash,, decided on the Christmas symbolism of a “box of Christmas tree ornaments, which are brought out of storage during the few weeks of the Christmas season, and then packed away to bide time until another year.” Fifty American artists will compete with 50 French winners for a $3500 grand international
prize for the best Christmas scene early next|
month. The pictures will be exhibited from Dec. 8 to 31 at the Wildenstein Galleries in New York.
Unsung Heroine
By Harman W. Nichols
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28—There’'s a mayonnaise jar in Guam which is worth its weight in sentiment and noble. American intentions. Servicemen there are going without chocolate pars and beer on a volunteer basis to do their bit for a worthy cause. The “cause” is the World Children’s Foundation. It's a nonprofit outfit established a tiny, blackhaired woman in Washington. Thé objective is to help care for the half million or so tots who were left without legal fathers when romances overseas were ended. The pleasant little woman is Mary Rizzoto, who was a Red Cross worker in Oran, North Africa, in 1044. She was shocked by what she saw over there. “Miss Mary,” as rhe now is known almost the

abroad. Instead of getting the help she needed, the poor lady was flooded with appeals for help. from near and far from ex-soldiers, who saw the error of their ways and who wanted to make things right and find former sweethearts. Also from young mothers who wanted to locate the fathers of their young. Too Hot for Governments MISS MARY did the best she could, with what little money she had. It was a situation the governments of the world thought “too hot to handle.” Miss Mary took her problem to an'American naval officer at Oran. The officer admitted that the thing was beyond him but said to her: “You are a woman, why don’t you do something about it.” : -¥ The little woman, with no backing from anywhere, started bucking heavy odds. The odds are

In his last letter, Mr. Vesper, without naming names, gave a hint at the international complexion of his outfit, There are Scotch-Irish, Welsh-French-Canadian, Norwegian-Swedish-Danish-English, English, Irish-American-Indian, Chinese-Hawafiian, English-Ha-wallan, Portuguese-Hawalian, Syrian, MexicanHindu, plain Irish, Scotch-Irish-Indian, and plain Americans. Mr. Vesper not only needles the boys in his outfit but also has signs up. to attract the natives of Guam, enlisted personnel, officers, and civilians. He even wangled a feature item by Hal Rollins of the Guam News. A bundle of letters about hardship cases did the trick. 2
