message of Christmas, “Peace on Earth Good Will
Toward Men”. For we all come to realize that
the good things in life emmanate from the
desire to serve our fellow man. It is in this
spirit that we wish everyone a Merry
Christmas and_a_ Happy New Year.

Types of designs most popular on Christmas cards, according to
the greeting card manufacturers.
By VIVIAN BROWN
AP Newsfeatures Writer
Traditional Christmas cards are just as popular as ever.
While novelty cards may come and go, the old Noel symbols remain
best sellers.
The most popular of all, says the National Association of Greet-
ing Card Publishers, is the floral design. Nearly 200,000,000 Yuletide
greetings this year will picture roses, enticing mistletoe, holly and
pine cones, and the poinsettia—the flame-blossomed Mexican flower
that Ambassador Joel R. Poinsett brought back to the U. S. in 1829
to become our most popular Christmas flowering plant.
Second place goes to outdoor scenes—the country snowscape, the
wind-swept outdoor Christmas tree, the sleighing party. More and
more of these cards, however, are picturing city streets and front-
yard scenes, reflecting the shift in the nation’s population from farm
to city.
Religious cards portraying the Nativity, the Shepherds, and the
Wise men are next in popularity, reaching the 150,000,000 mark.
There seems to be a trend in religious cards from scenes of present
day church and churchgoers, which were very popular a few years
ago, back to designs centering around the Biblical narrative of the
first Christmas.
Cards picturing whimsical cherubs cavorting through a celestial
