Most people need not die of
tuberculosis. Death can usually
be prevented if the sickness is
discovered early. Christmas
Seals provide year-round work
for early detection of TB.

Westbury Student Second In
District In Wool Contest
Patsy Mattison, high senior at
Westbury High School, won sec-
ond place in the “Make it Your-
self with Wool” contest in the
Harris County district, and will
compete for the state title in
Austin, January 4 and 5.
The contest is sponsored by
the American Wool Association
and the Singer Sewing Machine
Company. The 12-county dis-
trict run-off was held December
8 at the University of Houston.
First place winner was a girl
from the University of Texas.
Patsy’s winning costume was a
spring green suit of basketweave
wool. The suit had a slim skirt
and a doublebreasted boxy jac-
ket with wide lapels. She made
a pill box hat to match by cover-
ing a buckram shape. Her blouse
was of champaign colored silk
linen.
After graduation in January,
Patsy will work a few months
and enter the University of
Houston to major in Home Eco-
nomics. "I hope to become a
buyer”, she says, “but almost
anything in the field of Home
Ec would be a wonderful career.”
Progress in the fight against
TB since the first Christmas Seal
in 1907 has meant the saving of
more than 9 Million American
lives. Your Christmas Seal con-
tribution will help save more
lives.

Christmas Was
A Phone Call
The little kiddies may still be
dreaming of sugar plums but
Bellaire Corporation Court Clerk
Bonnie Russell has already had
her Christmas, thank you.
It came via telephone at 7:45
a.m. Saturday when her daugh-
ter Bonnie Jo’s voice came
through loud and clear from
Tripoli, Libya.
Mom was all set to spend lit-
erally days waiting for the tele-
phone to ring—as she had been
warned that it’s very difficult to
get personal calls through from
Libya. But the call came through
with practically no delay.
Bonnie Jo and her husband,
Constantin Georgescu, went to
Libya last summer where he is
with Standard Oil of New Jer-
sey.

There is no business like store
business ait Christmas time! If a
person had the time and the
talent, books could be written,
true life dramas and comedies,
on nothing but Christmas shop-
ping.
The cute little boy who selec-
ted a jeweled sweater for his
mother and wanted to know if
he could pay for it by the week
out of his paper route money.
The attractive young matron,
busy with a thousand things,
made a purchase early, had rt
gift wrapped and now can’t re-
member what it was nor for
whom. A telephone call yester-
day from Santa Claus himself
(at least that is what he said),
wanting to know how much the
jeweled sweaters are in the win-
dow and would they fit any size
girl.
Talk about secrets . . . we are
so filled with secrets we are
keeping things from ourselves!
If the FBI were aware of our
cunning, they would put us on
the payroll, but quick. At this
time of the year, we would tell
a thing a dozen different ways
before we tell a fib about it,
that is, if it concerns a present
for somebody.
Yes, shopping is in full swing,
and we at LEON DAILY wel-
come the rush and hurry con-
nected with it.
Our stock is replenished ev-
ery few days; new dresses are
