CHRISTMAS EVE ON HEKLA SQUARE
By GENE GRIENER
This poem is dedicaied to: Four Fighting Men who met during
World War II in Reykjavik. Iceland, on Christmas Eve.
Four strangers met on Hekla Square
In Reykjavik — and God was there
With fighting men who talked of home —
Of Net/' York — London — Quebec — Nome.
They talked of war — When Freedom Rings —
Of going home, and other things.
Then from the East in Iceland's sky.
They sau the Star of God on high.
Four strangers knelt upon the square,
They bowed their heads — and God teas there.
Yes, God was there that Christmas Eve
To bless these men who did believe:
His Son was born to set souls free —
To die for them — On Calvary. . . .
Each Christmas Eve in different lands,
Four old friends meet — their minds hold hands,
And once again on Hekla Square,
They bow their heads — and God is there.
Hottest Selling Doll . . .
One of the hottest selling dolls
in New York this Christmas is
an ugly, big-eared troll. It has
been described as adorably ugly,
and teen-agers consider it a good
luck charm.

Toy Diet for Baby?
Never buy an infant toy smaller
than his two closed hands is the
rule of thumb, or fist, suggested
by the American Red Cross to
Christmas shoppers for the very
young.
And infants being such omni
vorous little creatures, it is strong
ly urged their toys be of one piece,
with no removable parts, and col
ored with paints not having a poi
sonous base.
Children in the 2-year group
like toys with motion. These
would not, however, include jet
propelled kiddy cars, even though
Daddy might adore one.
Five-year-olds are great imi
tators. Suitable for them are toys
similar to articles used by Mother
and Dad. This age group also likes
vehicles to ride. However, they
should not be so large that the
child has to “grow-to-fit.” A
vehicle too large to handle prop
erly is dangerors.
The 10-year-old is reaching the
point where he can play with al
most any toy, providing he re
ceives proper instruction in its
use. It’s with a child this age that
Daddy can begin exercising his
imagination in choosng gifts for
his own as well as the child’s
amusement, if he hasn’t already.
