Hand-Made Gifts
Proper For
Christmas Giving
Cherished by one doting Cal
ifornia grandmother is a present
from her grandchildren: their
names, carefully printed by
them with colored pencil on
white linen, then machine-em
broidered by their mother in
matching colored thread, and
framed.
A Harvard junior, whose col- '
lege room is usually decorated
with athletic socks and record
album covers, has cleared space
for a very special gift from his
very special girl: a patchwork
pillow incorporating fabric from
the bathing suit she wore when
they had their first date two
summers ago.
And ra have-everything, been
everywhere.New York business
executive and his- wife declare
that the moment they especially
look forward to each Christmas
is receiving the colorful felt tree
ornament, appliqued with a sign
of the zodiac, that the man's sec
retary stitches for them and
presents with a horoscope she
writes herself.
These are just three exam
ples of how the woman who sews
can express her thoughtfulness
at Christmas, without being ex
travagant with time or money.

Ornamental Plants
For Christmas
If you are having trouble se
lecting Christmas gifts for every

has to otter for some of our
gardening friends. Numerous
kinds of plants are available
including bulbous plants, house
plants, flowering shrubs, ever
green shrubs; evergreen and de
cicuous trees, and various kinds
of fruiting plants.
Before giving a plant to some
one, it is' very important to knoW
that this person enjoys using
and caring for plants. It would
also be advisable to fit the gift
plant to the person's home gar
dening or landscaping situation
and needs.

! attempt to punish Morgan State
College for its refusal to meet
Johnson C. Smith in a playoff
game for the CIAA champion
ship on Thanksgiving Day, was
defeated Sunday at the league's

league's executive committee
would have stripped the Bears
of the Northern Division foot
ball title, which they won the
past season. The recommenda

year.
After prolonged discussion,
the Delegate Assembly, the con
ference's ruling body, voted 18
to 12 in a roll call vote to de

As a result of the conference's
action, Morgan was officially
named Northern Division win

voted the Southern Division
championship.
Virginia State, which defeat

Day game in Charlotte, was de

Prior to the vote, Morgan of

Bears refused to play in the
Charlotte game because it would
have meant playing with Just

game against Virginia State.
The league's executive com
mittee had stated that Morgan
was aware of the date of the
playoff and was obligated to play
in the game.
