A county-wide shopping* spree began last week with an evening of open house in Shelton stores Friday. This week finds the store clerks • faced with the problem of answer- ing such questions as "What would you suggest for my Aunt Mamie ? I like this cigarette case but she doesn't smoke." or "Do you think this will fit my wife ? She's this (with gestures) broad and this tall." IN ORDER to ease the task of the weary clerks and to acquaint the local shoppers with the ex- tensive and high quality merchan- dise in stock in Shelton stores a Journal correspondent took the af- ternoon off to "see for himself and pass the word along." He reports his own Christmas Shopping nearly completed and offers suggestions of gifts for readers to get Mother. Father, the kids and anyone else on The List. " 'M' is for the mauy things," etc., but what shall we get Moth- er this Yea r ? ,The answer to that annual question seems to lie sonic- where betwqen the "New Look" fashions available at the ladies' ready-to-wear departments at the L.M. and Penney's,' at the Polka Dot and at Crane's Apparel and the ever lovely gifts of jewelry on display at Beckwith's, Neuen- schw$ter's and Ray Vrahnos'. FOR THE ladies, the L.M. has on hand'an, elegant line of lingerie. Outstanding among the many lovely night g0WnS, robes, slips and hostess gowns are the satin quilted, lace-trimmed robas avails: able in tea rose and white. Also at the L.M. is the new .so- lutionto an 01d .an delicate prob- lem. For. the person .interested in giving a girdle or a braasiere there are attraetive gift certifi- cates enabling the receiver to be eertain of getting exactly what she desires in size and style. /Ruby Crane has a stylish line of the ','new look, Coats In plaids and plain colors featdng the longer hemline, full swing back, and pop- ular hood. Every lady would be pleased to receive one of those on Christmas Day, Jaycees Hear Bremertonian On Recreation Giving the Shelton Junior Chamber of Commerce youth activities program a shot in the arm, Hal Roberts, Brem- erton recreation expert, spoke for more than an hour to the Jaycee members at their meeting Tuesday evening at the Colonial House. The enthusiastic JCC members overflowed the Colonial House din- ing room for their dinner meet- ing, crowding around in the door- ways to hear the Bremerton man speak following u brief business meeting. Roberts, a former instructor in the Wisconsin State Recreation Training School, spent an hour din- cussing the problems and scope of the recreation program which the Junior Chamber has been outlin- ing for the town of Shelton. THE BREMERTON man. who justified his reputation for being one of the outstanding experts in his field in the state, held a fifteen minute questiot 9od following , .: .... his talk .and..at ! th loe' f $ti'  meeting answered qliestions put to him by informal groups for an- other thirty'minutes.

"The heavy flood of gift pack- ages and Christmas cards in post offices all over the United States makes early mailing essential," Postmaster Warren Lincoln ex- plained. Christmas cards for lo- cal delivery should be mailed be- fore December 15, he said. "ENVELOPES and packages may be marked 'Do Not Open Un- til Christmas' if desired," the post- master advised. "Such notes are permitted both on parcel post and on regular mail, including Christ- mas cards sent third-class with a 1 /-cent stamp." He warned that envelopes of third-class mail may not be sealed, either by licking' the flap or by closing with Christmas seals, al- though Christmas seals may be affixed to the back of the envel- ope.

THE FIRST petition was taken out by Vern Eaton Monday when he gathered 70 names of local vot- ers who support the universal training program. Eaton reported that of the peo- ple he contacted, ouly four re- fused to sigr/ the petition. Other Legion members in Shelton have been out with their pencils and petitions this week in an effort to contribute to the 10 million signa- tures sought by the Legion all over the country. The local drive has been turned over to Dick Springgate who an- nounced that plans are being com- pleted for a campaign designed to reach every citizen of the com- munity. THE PROGRAM will include JAYCEES SEEKING FOODSTUFFS FOR 19 GIFT BASKETS Nineteen families in Shelton have been "adopted" by the Junior Chamber of Commerce for special Christmas gift ,-bas- kets which will be distributed during Christmaa week.
