Beneath the illustration young
Egley wrote: “A Merry Christ-
mas and a Happy New Year to
You”—which still seems to be
the most popular phrasing ever
written.
The first Christmas card to
win complete acceptance was
sent in 1862 by a London pub-
lisher, Charles Goodal & Sons.
In the 32 years that intervened
the idea had spread to the United
States, and in 1874 a Boston

Christmas
Card Origin
Did you ever wonder who start-
ed the custom of sending Christ-
mas cards? Historians give cred-
it to a 16-year-old engraver, who
lived in London in 1842, William
Maw Egley. He designed a small
card to send to his friends. Only
•one hundred copies were made
of his quaintly cluttered design,
which depicted a formal ban-
Dec. 27-30 with some 250 entries
from 18 states expected.
On Dec. 30, officials and coach-
es from the competing schools
will appear at the Cotton Bowl
Breakfast sponsored by the
Downtown Quarterback Club,
the Texas Sports Hall of Fame
will honor Texas athletic greats,
there will be a style show for
the ladies and the Cotton Bowl
Open Skeet Championships spon-
sored by the Dallas Gun Club
will be held.
The Cotton Bowl Festival Pa-
rade, taking as its theme “Ad-
ventures in Music,” will take
place in downtown Dallas start-
ing at 10 a.m. Monday morning
Jan. 1. Reigning over the parade
will be the Cotton Bowl Queen
representing the University of
Texas, along with the princesses
from the other Southwest Con-
ference schools and the Univer-
sity of Mississippi.

for the original purchase. This
plan will not cost anyone.
The Government can then
place controls on the production
of castor oil and pay people to
not produce it. This will cause
more castor oil production per
acre from scientific methods
which will soon fill the entire
warehouse. With the total ca-
pacity of the warehouse in use
the warehouse operator
will make a profit; more work-
ers will be employed; more peo-
ple will be paid for not produc-
ing castor oil; more castor oil
will be produced each year; and
the whole nation will enter an
era of economic expansion never
known before.

Santa Claus, as we know him
today—jolly smile, round, red
cheeks and chunky figure—is
the creation of two famous men.
The first was Clement Clark
Moore, author of “A Visit to St.
Nicholas,” better known to us
as “’Twas the Night Before
Christmas.” Moore actually de-
scribed Santa and gave him the
famous reindeer and sleigh.
The second man, who put the
actual likeness of Santa on paper
to illustrate Moore’s poem, was
Thomas Nast, a great cartoonist.
Nast drew the familiar, fat
merry old fellow with red cheeks
and white beard, dressed in red,
wearing a cap and boots, carry-
ing a pack of toys and smoking
a short pipe.
The artist then gave Santa a
spy-glass so that during the year
he might pick out the good chil-
dren from the bad, and also a
big book in which to write their
names and keep records.
This conception of Santa Claus
first appeared in 1863. Since that
time the pictured Santa has been

SMALL RESPONSE
EXPECTED FROM
‘DEATH RAY AD
WASHINGTON — A routine-
looking ad in the Commerce De-
partment’s business daily calls
for bidders on a “death ray” re-
search project.
The ad was inserted, along
with others for sandpaper, rub-
ber heels and frozen shrimp, by
the Air Force’s Special Weapons
Center.
This is the agency that is ex-
perimenting with the so-called
neutron bomb, which would de-
stroy life but spare property.
The ad calls for researchers to
measure the “radiation shock”
produced by "massive doses of
mixed neutron and gamma ra-
diation.”
The Air Force wants to find
out how much radiation it takes
to “instantly incapacitate” large
mammals “approaching the size
of man.”
Only researchers skilled in
veterinary medicine, nuclear
physics and psychology need ap-
ply.
By PAT SIMPSON
We are in receipt of a note from
the General Services Adminis-
tration that it plans to dispose
of 155 million pounds of castor
oil. Any firm or individual wish-
ing to purchase this amount of
castor oil may bid on it. If no bids
are received for the lot it may be
broken into car load lots and
offered for sale.
We shudder to think what
might have happened some 40
years ago if an enterprising
Grandmother had come into pos-
session of 155 million pounds of
castor oil. In the Good Old Days
before virus infections were
known, and most kids had a lot
of stomach aches, Grandmother
was the chief prescriber of medi-
cines. Whatever type of medicine
the poor kid was given it was al-
a ways followed by a big dose of
J castor oil. With this amount of
castor oil some grandmother
could have made the community
healthy for a long time to come.
Since the grandmothers no
longer have the pleasure of
cramming castor oil down the
poor kids, some other use must
be found for the castor oil now
available.
What we think would be a
good plan tor the castor oil now
available is as follows: Some lo-
cal citizen of McKinney get a
loan from the Small Business
Administration and build a large
warehouse to hold at least 750
s million pounds of castor oil. The
• warhouse owner can then buy
the 155 million pounds of castor
oil on a time payment plan from
the Government. The Govern-
ment can declare the castor oil
surplus and pay the warehouse
operator storage in an amount
equal to his payments on the

mous for their beauty and crafts-
manship. Their price ran to sev-

He used few of the traditional
Christmas scenes, so familiar to-
day, but instead depicted spring
flowers, harvest scenes and chil-
dren at play.
