tliing special: the Old Spice scent — brisk, crisp, fresh as
all outdoors ... the tang of that vigorous astringent — ban
ishes shave-soap film, heals tiny razor nicks. Splash on
Old Spice — and start the day refreshed!

Thoughts on Christmas
We’ve had a lot to say during 1955, so we’re going to
let a few other people give their ideas on Christmas.
“This is the month, and this the happy morn,
Wherein the Son of Heaven’s eternal King,
Of wedded maid and virgin mother born,
Our great redemption from above did bring.”
— John Milton
“ Tis not the weight of jewel or plate,
Or the fondle of silk and fur;
’Tis the spirit in which the gift is rich,
As the gifts of the wise ones were;
And we are not told whose gift was gold
Or whose was the gift of myrrh.”
— Edmund Vance Cooke
“Not believe in Santa Claus? You might as well not
believe in fairies . . .
“No Santa Claus! Thank God, he lives, and he lives
forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten
times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make
glad the heart of childhood.”
— Francs P. Church
“Nobody shoots at Santa Claus.”
— Alfred E. Smith
And from US to YOU, a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!
CHRISTMAS!

Surviving Brodie
Twin Conies Home
CHICAGO—GP)—R o d n e y Dee
Brodie, the survivor of an opera
tion separating Siamese twins four
years ago, will be home again for
Christmas.
Rodney’s father, Roy, picked up
the 4-year-old boy at the Univer
sity of Illinois Medical Center Sun
day. It will be the first time Rod
ney has visited his Ferris, Ill., home
since last spring when he suffered
a brain hemorrhage.
Rodney now weighs 29 pounds.
He walks but still needs some help.
Attendants say his conversation is
bright and has been centered on
Santa Claus.
The Brodie family has planned a
big Christmas celebration for
Rodney.

ill the pleasure comes thru in Filter Tip
Tareyton. You get the full, rich taste of
Tareyton’s quality tobaccos in a filter ciga
rette that smokes milder, smokes smoother,
draws easier...and it’s the only filter cigarette
with a genuine cork tip.
Tareyton’s filter is pearl-gray because it
contains Activated Charcoal for real filtra
tion. Activated Charcoal is used to purify
air, water, foods and beverages, so you can
appreciate its importance in a filter cigarette.
Yes, Filter Tip Tareyton is the filter ciga
rette that really filters, that you can really
taste ... and the taste is great!
