Two Local Educators Write For Magazine In a recent issue of the School Review, a nationally known maga zine, an article appeared by two lo cal educators, Dr. Ralph W House, of the college, and Mr. Cratis Wil liams of the high school. Each have made a special study of the use of diacritical marks, and in this re cently printed article, they present some of their findings. They give the problem they were working on, the teaching of diacritical marks in the tenth grade, the methods used in the teaching process, the findings from this teaching period and their conclusions and recommendations. Dr. House and Mr. Williams are to be congratulated on this achieve ment and the distinction which comes to them as a result of the ac ceptance of this article by a nation wide educational magazine. Facts Boards to Examine Books of Employers President Truman stated Thursday that fact-finding boards investi gating labor disputes "should un questionably have the right to ex amine the employer's books." 'This does not mean that the gov ernment or its fact-finding board is going to endeavor to fix a rate of return for the employer," he added. In a formal statement, the Presi dent said it was essential that a board have such authority "whenev er it deems it necessary" and later told a news conference that boards also should have power to examine a labor union's books. "Ability to pay is always one of the facts relevant to the issue to an increase in wages," the President's statement set forth. Today's best buy ? today's best j Christmas gift ?

"ITito pencil-pusher, type-alinger and general office roustabout, now bids his many readers farewell until after the holidays.

Origin of Stocking* And Shoe* for Gifts Why have stockings come to b? the traditional receptacles for family Christmas gifts? Although historians can give no completely authentic answer, they point oat that children's stockings are usually bung by the chimney to keep warm or dry oat, so It was natural that Santa Claus should pick them as the place in which to deposit gifts. In certain regions of France It Is the shoe that is put out on Christmas Eve. Some authorities say that shoes and stockings were put near the fireplace for the same reason that an old boot was associated with a wedding? in or der to bring good luck and drive away evil spirits. One Christmas story stresses the good luck feature. St. Nicho las, it Is related, once dropped a purse down a chimney. Instead of falling on the hearth, the purse dropped into a stocking, and ever since then the happjr custom of filling the Christmas stocking has been universally popular. ?Xmns* Has Authentic Basis Of Use Throughout History While many people frown on the use of "Xmas" for Christmas, this abbreviation has an authentic basis in history. The "X" is the first letter of the Greek word for Christ. Christian scholars of the middle ages are said in their writings to have abbreviat ed the spelling of the Nativity cele bration into X-mass or simply Xmas. In the same way "Xn" was used for Christian and "Xty" for Chris tianity. In the catacombs of ancient Rome, X is frequently found to stand for Christ. The earliest Christian art ists, when making a representation of the Trinity, would place either a cross or X beside the Fathar and the Holy Ghost.
