Rate High As Family Gifts
By Ella Ann Lee
After close inspection of the
calendar and a glance at decora
tions in the store windows, I’ve
corr»e to the conclusion that the
Vuletide season is well on its way.
So out corhes my little memo
pad with names of my family and
friends follow.ed by huge ?’s. If
the problem of what to give is
almost as keen as the financial one,
here’s a little help to that end.
t r •
For Mother, something personal
and maybe extra special is the
problem. After talking to some of
the girls. I’ve found that hand-made
petite-point handbags have been
made. These will last for years
and will be lovely.
Some stores have lovely milk-
glass pieces that would be nice to
begin a collection. Also you can
find books on interior decoration
that' any woman would love to
have.
'Have pity on Dad this Christmas
and don’t rush out at the last
minute and put a tie, handkerchief
and socks under the tree. For
something different you may find
an interesting book called “The
Esquire Treasury” with cartoons,
photos and fiction by America’s
most distinguished artists, writers
and photographers.
‘■Tlie list of \v r i te r s includes
Thomas Wolfe, Scott Fitzgerald,
Jdhn Steinbeck arid others. Also
art alti'gatdr belt and wallet make a
handsome' gift.
If Dad likes his poker,'a'gift of
a poker set that has a chip dis
penser is good.
If little sister is planning to come
to Salem in her later years, the
book “Facts of Life and Love” is
definitely a must on her reading
list. Of course, if you want some
thing a little less unconventional,
you can give her that big doll with
real hair which will take a Toni.
If Brother John will allow you
to help pick out his clothes, those
plaid vests with silver buttons are
really the thing. A pair of walk
ing shorts with knee-socks will
make him a sure hit with his girl
who’s wearing Bermudas.
If clothes are out, you will find
the Windsor-Ronson lighter an in
expensive and lovely gift. Cash-
mere sweaters and socks are still
number one on the male list.
To enlighten your roommate,
there is a wide choice of books
and art collections. “Love Poefns”
by Emily Dickenson and poems by
Keats and Shelley will make a
lasting gift.
Color prints of the world’s great
est artists are available too. If
she is interested in drama, “Cur
tain Going Up”, a book on the
theater and some of its greatest
personalities, would be a grand
choice.
, There are always gifts of jewelry,
cosmetics and records for friends.
And as you thumb through your
favorite magazines looking for the
unusual and useful, remember to
give your gifts that personal touch
which will be remembered long
after the Christmas season.

Mitchell Writes On Sincerity,
Joy Of A Christmas At Salem
By Laura Mitchell
There are many different ways
to celebrate Christmas. There are
the champagne parties where peo
ple laugh and don’t know the next
fellow’s name; there are the last
minute shopping sprees for those
who forgot those who remembered,
there are the church services where
people are completing their bi
annual visits. But I’ll take Christ
mas at Salem.
I would rather help decorate my
dorm by stringing popcorn on the
tree. We may not have an or
chestra, but an amateur rendition
of “White Christmas” is fine for
us. Even if our decorations aren’t
done by professionals, we all have
something of which we are proud.
I’ll take Christmas at Salem.

I would rather take a small gift
to the Negro Orphanage than buy
a book for my aunt I’ve never
seen. I want to go to the Mo
ravian Putz at Brother’s House and
watch beeswax candles beimr
I woald r.th„
caroling than listen to the brassy
music at the country club. I’H tat
Christmas at Salem. ^
I don't have to help with the
Christmas banquet; I don’t have to
contribute to the gift fund for the
staff; but I will. I will, not be
cause it is expected, not because
it is traditional, but because I want
to.
I’m going to Senior Vespers with
my friends. I will see the candles
and hear the music. But above
all, I will worship. I’ll take Christ
mas at Salem.
