The clocks are also made from an original design. Mrs Cluff, who took up the hobby about three years ago, and has at times given classes in the art, includes vases, dolls, figurines, pixies and shoes among her objects of art. SEND ONE TO GOOD OLD JIM Most of all Christmas traditions is the sending of Christmas, greetings in the form of beautiful cards. Every year the mail men of our nation stagger through their beats under the weight of cards traveling from one end of the world to the other bring greetings and rememfar-reachi- ng brances to friends and relatives. It is the time of year and the custom to send and receive cards from friends not heard from for perhaps the whole year through, but the mellowness and spirit of the Christmastide renews and reawakens memories and a desire to send messages to folks once known and loved. Spending an evening in this pleasant occupation are Mr. and Mrs. Walton E. Foulger of American Fork who are typical of all other folks at this time of year. One of the five Foulger children looks interestingly on at the process. i |
