Well-Known Reindeer Tells All NORTH POLE, ARCTIC. Looking very dapper for an 18-point buck with chalked muzzle and matching white tail assembly, Dasher, famous front-running reindeer for the S. Claus Parcel Sen/ice, stated today: 1. Conditions on the northern tundra are pretty much the same as ever. No-o, TV hadn't affected the grazing habits of the middle-class herds. 2. That despite reports to the . contrary, you don't ever thoroughly adjust to sub-zero weather, regardless of the warm esteem people hold you in. 3. Rumors of a reindeer strike for Christmas Eve are unfounded. Somebody's got a termite m Ills antler. When asked about the most popular Christmas gift down through the years he replied without hesitation: “Menswear by Manhattan. Eve helped haul Mr. Claus’s sled, roe and buck, nigh unto forever ... so I ought to know .. . nothing makes a man happier than shirts, sportshirts, ties, pajamas, beachwear or under wear labeled Manhattan. Don’t know whether it’s the live style that makes a man look and feel so good, whether it’s the traditional tailoring detail, or the array of fabrics, patterns and colors that are all so umnistakeably quality. I’ll admit one thing. I’ve kind of wished sometimes that Manhattan- would make deerwear." Best way to make Dad forget those letters you didn’t write is to get him some fine Manhattan menswear. (And Manhattan makes mighty nice owning, too!) Why not stop in today—and see for yourself,, Save Your Money! Save Your Clothes!

Watching the.serenity of Christmas skies we are conscious of deep silence. Yet the stars are talking to us all the while—talking in radio waves that are full of meaning to scientists probing the depths of space. The important discovery that some stars produce radio waves was made by a Bell Laboratories scientist while exploring atmospheric disturbances which might in terfere with transoceanic telephone serv ice.. His discovery marked the birth of the fast-growing science of radio astron omy. It is telling us of mysterious light- less stars that broadcast radio waves, and it promises exciting revelations about vast regions of cc„csaLd by clouds of And so from the probings and skills of Bell System scientists and engineers has come another tool to help man understand better the universe in which he lives.
