Observance Os Farm-City Week In his proclamation of National Farm-City Week, November 2026, President Nixon said that “city dwellers and rural people alike have reason to work together toward common goals. The well-being of urban America and the welfare of rural America will increasingly intertwine as our total population expands. Better living in the one depends on better living in the other.” The President also urged the Department of Agriculture in cooperation with agricultural organizations, business groups, labor unions, youth and women’s clubs, civic and fraternal associations, schools and others to join in noting the interdependent roles of producers and consumers and the opportunities for cooperation in building for the future by programs marking the new significance of National FarmCity Week. Locally Elmer Rassi, vice chairman of the Kosciusko County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee was guest at a recent dinner meeting sponsored by Rotary-Kiwanis in observance of Farm Appreciation Week. An appreciable number of farm-city men attended, enjoying good food and fellowship. Will Erwin of Etna Green, who is a member of President Nixon’s Task Force on Community Development, was the major speaker. He discussed the problems in population movement, from rural areas to city, which has gone on for years until some way need be found to reverse the flow of population. Good will and community pride is furthered through this type meeting as sponsored by the Rotary-Kiwanis clubs.

Churches Grace Greeting Cards

As jubilant bells ring out the good news of Christmas, churches of this community stand as symbols of the true spirit of the season. , Landmarks in the history of Christendom, these churches are the living center of current activities, especially at Christmas, when choral programs, pageants and other special services express holiday joy. Across the country, and in other lands, soaring steeples and ringing bells beckon worshipers to “Come to Church on Christmas.” Small wonder, then, that churches are a favorite subject for Christmas greeting cards. This year, the 95th anniversary of Christmas cards in the United States, is no exception. A look into the past shows three well-known churches which were favorite Christmas card features. The Little Church around;, the Corner and Trinity Church, both in New York City, and Westminster Abbey in London are pictured on cards dated around 1925 and now in the Norcross historical collection.

Select Toys With Care LAFAYETTE — As we select toys for the children on our Christmas list, several considerations may help us do a good job, says Dr. Dama Wilms, extension human development specialist at Purdue university. First of all, we know that a child’s play is more than just amusement. It is the means by which he explores the world and finds out what “makes things tick”. Through play activities he

E ¥ CHURCHES, LONG a symbol of the Christmas season, have appeared in innumerable ways on Christmas cards. Pictured here is Westminster Abbey, subject of a card from the Norcross Historical Collection. The oldest of these church buildings is Westminster Abbey, a national shrine and the Mother Church of the Commonwealth of Great

learns how to function effectively and creatively in his world. He finds out how to do things and how it feels to be a member of the human race. He uses his toys to carry out his own ideas, solve problems, and enjoy being in the world. Carefully chosen playthings be important in helping a child pursue his natural education. First of all. it is a good idea to ask two questions about any toy one is considering buying: 1. What can a child do with it? 2. W’ill that activity be worthwhile for him at his present stage of development? When these two questions have been answered satisfactorily, several other considerations should guide the selection of toys. An important one is safety. There should be no rough or sharp edges to fall against or no small detachable parts that could be swallowed. It should be washable, when necessary. The toy should also be examined to be sure it’s finished with a nonpoisonous paint or dye. Durability is also important. A toy should be well-made so it can stand up under children’s handling. Be assured that the two or three year old will try her new doll bed to see how she fits into it. The wagon, tricycle, or scooter that needs adult supervision to survive is a poor investment.

Britain. In 1966 the Abbey celebrated its 900th anniversary, and thousands of people from all over the world visited the church where both commoners and royalty have worshipped for centuries. In commemoration of the event, Westminster underwent a 10-year program of cleaning and repairs that cost $1,120,000. It was on Christmas day that William the Conqueror was crowned at Westminster, and buried there are Newton, Darwin, Keats, Tennyson, Browning, and royal personages such as Queen Elizabeth I and her rival for the Mary Queen of Scots, Rich-* ard 11, Henry VII and St. Edward, whose shrine is the most sacred spot in the Abbey. In September 1965, a tablet was added in memory of Winston Churchill. In Japan East meets West in giftexchanging customs. Japanese exchange “Oseibo,” or year end-giftjs, beginning about mid-December.

Beauty adds to the child’s enrichment. The toy should be pleasing in form, design, and color. If musical, the toy should have good tone. If buying several toys, keep variety in mind. A child needs an adequate assortment to develop wide interests and different skills. Every child’s play equipment should include toys for physical exercise, toys for makebelieve, materials for building, and materials for developing manual and creative skills, points out Dr. Wilms. Make your Christmas toygiving a lasting contribution to a child’s pleasure and development by choosing wisely according to his needs and level of growth as well as the quality of a particular play item. See Wig Demonstration Members of the Junior Mothers club at Syracuse attended a wig demonstration in Goshen Monday night prior to their business meeting at the Syracuse home of Mrs. Ev Ganz in the Hunnicutt Addition. Hostesses for the evening were Mrs. Robert Reed and Mrs. Hubert Kirkdorfer. The next meeting will be a Christmas party in the home of Mrs. James Hughes at which time a gift exchange and book review will also be held.
