HOMEMADE DECORATIONS are fun for all the family.
Home Talent Trims a Tree
By VIVTAN BROWN
AF Newsfeatures Writer
Our Christmas tree decorations
will probably have to be the result
of your own ingenuity this year
Tinsel, colored glass ornaments and
other old standbys are scarcer than
ever.
All you need is some crepe paper,
ribbon, paste and crayon to make
tree decorations.
Dennison suggests paper chains
of kindergarten memory . They're
easy to make Just cut strips of red
and white crepe paper 5 inches long
and 1-2 inch wide. Grain of crepe
should run up and down the 5-
inch length. Paste ends of one
white strip together forming ring.
Then slip a red strip through the
white ring and paste edges together
forming a second ring. Continue
making rings Of alternating colors
until chain is desired length.

YOUR MEMORIAL TO
A BELOVED WAR HERO
A Hospital Room Perpetuating in Years of Service to
Humanity the Name of That Loved One
A new wing is nearing completion at Hendrick Memorial Hospital.
It will provide 24 more patient rooms—rooms which will go into
immediate use because of Abilene's need for increased hospital
facilities.
Throughout Hendrick -Memorial Hospital, bronae door plaques
acknowledge the gifts, through the years, of furnishings for private
rooms. Many of these are memorials to well known West Texans
who have served in many fields of endeavor.
Today, our thoughts dwell often on the young West Texans who
have served on our country’s fields and waves of battle-who have
given their lives in this war.

blood must be present.
Improper diet, overwork, undue wor-
ries. colds, the Ou or other illness often
impairs the stomach's digestive func-
tions and reduces the red-blood strength

70 to 75% healthy blood volume or a
stomach digestive capacity of only 50
to 60% normal to severely handicapped.
