LONDON <IP Prime Minister Anthony Eden reor ganized his cabinet from top to bottom today to the threats of inflation at home and new Soviet provoca tions abroad.

WASHINGTON :IP Ford Motor Company, the na- I tion’s largest and wealthiest privately owned industrial I firm, reveals for the first time today just how rich it is.

He's Dreaming (Continued from Page on) that you’re Mohammedan. You could, like we did. get a Christmas tree from the Mormon church for sl. You could make some ornaments, like we have, out of dabs of things around the house. You oould buy a lot of things you would have to buy any way and wrap them up as pre sents. You could also, as we did have one moment of stark insanity when you go and spend all the money you've saved by trying to work out these economies. ‘Presents for relatives, friends and hangers-on are always a problem One approach is to say that Christ mas is for the little ones, and tha’ therefore nobody over twelve gets a dime. This, however, has a ten dency to backfire. Along with not giving anythihgl you cfon’t get anything either. v If older folks were as easy to provide for as youngsters, it would be a nice world. Get down to tire right age group, and you can do real wonders on a shoestring. I have eight nieces to buy for, and most Os them are so young and so lovely that If you happen to leave a price teg on thc-ir present, they ci n't stream at the low- cost, thoy just chew on the tag the way they do on the rest of the present. For girte, and even boys.nf ten or SEE EFIRD'S TERRIFIC SELECTION OF GIFTS grn AND TOYS iml OPEN TONIGHT UNTIL 9:00 I so, you can get coloring books and doll cut-out books that will last ior months and cost about the same as a milk-shake. Even if you throw in a set of crayons, you can still do sweetly with less than a buck What I like about my nieces is that ali of them have their own crayons. To some people, of course. Christ mas wouldn’t be Christmas with out sinking money in a complete outdoor acrobatic unit, or a train that does everything but lose bag gage. That’s fine, too, when you can afford it, but children differ from adults in the way you can please them with gifts that cost anywhere from a nickel up. Buying Christmas gifts for adults Ls the easiest way I know of to wreck a credit rating. Sometimes I think that what this country really needs is a good two-dollar gift which the average person doe? not have and won’t exchange Un less you fancy bric-a-brac, or don’t believe that tablecloths are dull looking for the light thing for a moderate price can blow a lot at the foam off your Christmas enthu siasm. That doesn't mean it can’t be done. It can. People manage to do it every year. I’m always surprised at the vay I like the things I open on Christmas morning because I am always of the opinion beforehand that nothing less than a new Fold Little Things (Continued from Pace One) dime. .

Last, night the stores in Dunn i stayed open until nine o’clock to accommodate Christmas shoppers. They will be doing the same thing all week. Some of the salespeople are not exactly dancing in the air ' about this because it's no fun to stand on your feet that long, but i their faces stay cheerful even when ; their feet are depressed. Most of these salespeople an ready to take infinite pains with the shopper who must do a good job on little money. 4 And that, I trust, is most of us. They'll get plenty of last minute patronage. Last night, I heard a lady in a store say, ‘’There aren’t so many tonight, but wait until Christmas Eve. They’ll all be buy ing.” She’s right, too. We'rfe giving the Maiden Form people just that muph time to come through. 188 DAILY RECORD. OtlNlf. R. 0- Johnson Cotton Company had a wonderful party for its employ ees last night at Johnson’s. .
