| Hints For Christma* Mailing [
Hundreds of thousands of Christmas cards and packages wHI
be lost this year because of illegibly written addresses. Service
men overseas, relatives, friends, business associates—all will be
part of a disappointed array whose mail goes astray, because, as
a national magazine recently stated, we nave become a “nation
of scrawlers.”
Yet a few simple rules and just a little attention to it will bn-
Srove anybody’s

the Handwriting
Foundation in a
special appeal
aimed at cutting
down losses.
All addresses,
says the Founda
tion, should be
written in at
least three well
spaced lines, with

address as well. Take special care with the "tricky” letters and
numbers shown on the chart.
Your signature, on greeting and gift cards, should be legible.
Include the last name when identification might otherwise be in
doubt. If it’s a family card, make the children part of the
greeting, and let them sign the card, too.
For far away friends and relatives, add a short note—a few
words of greeting and maybe a promise of a longer letter soon.
A New Year’s card is appropriate for friends you’ve forgotten at
Christmas. And never give money gifts to the postman, milk
man and others without at least the personal touch of your
signature.
You don’t have to be an artist to decorate a card or gift
package. A pen and colored inks (try red and green for Christ
mas) is all you need. A tree in outline, some stars, a few heavy
dots ... and you've drawn your own Christmas spirit. Another
personal touch is a note in an envelope attached to the outside
of a gift package.
As for next year's greeting card and gift list,, compile it now.
Write each name on a separate index card, and alphabetize them
in a file box to simplify addition* and changes. Or keep a book
let, with blank pages between names for newcomers. Such a
list prevents embarrassing duplication or omission at card
eending time.
And always remember, concludes the Handwriting Founda
tion, that the written message is part of the Christmas spirit.
Be sure to make the message legible.

Lotteries
Are the give-away programs
on radio and television lotteries?
No, not as customarily con
ducted.
Inere are three essential ele
ments of a lottery: namely, the
offering of a prize, the awarding
of the prize by chance, and the
giving of something of value for
the opportunity to win the prize.
The paying of a price for the
privilege of winning something
of a greater value by chance is
generally called a lottery and
a violation of the law.
The Federal Communications
Commission is constantly on the
alert to see that the federal law
is not violated on radio and tele-

vision.
In fact, the Federal Communi- :
cations Commission has tackled
the thorny problem and has
tried to bar from the air most
of the present “give-away” pro
grams. It passed rules saying
that they were in violation of
an act of Congress prohibiting
the broadcasting of lottery in- '
formation.
i
The three major broadcasting
companies went to court aboutt
the matter. They were success- j
ful in having the rules of the
Commission set aside.
The contestants on some of
these programs are of two kinds:
telephone participants and stu
dio participants. The telephone
participants are selected by lot
|or chance from telephone diree-
I tories. At times they are noti-
I tied in advance by mail. In
some instances the contestants
are selected from the invisible
audience at random, from post
cards sent in by prospective con
testants.
The federal district court said
that the act of listening to a
, broadcast or viewing a television
give-away program does not con
stitute the 'price” or “valuable
consideration" which is a neces
sary element of a lottery.
The court, in its opinion hand
ed down in 1953, said: “When
| the radio or television audiences
tire of them, they will make
| their exit. But the Commission
cannot hurry them off by char
acterizing certain features of the
