CHRISTMAS IS FOR CHILDREN ...•
Christmas is a time of special delight for children. With this in
mind we thought it might be interesting to publish some of the remarks
and stories about Bank/IFC children which are worth remembering.
Some of our staff were too reticent to reveal the precocity of their
offspring. Others were happy to • think up something." We trust that
the remarks printed here were all original and will evoke happy mem
ories for all.
Our first contribution, though not about Christmas, is about love
and, therefore, belongs with these stories.
Peggy Donovan, Eddie's little four-year old, is accustomed to
hearing many expressions of love, such as 'II love you too." One day
little Peggy surprised her mother who had found it necessary to be
stem, by saying, "I don't love you, Mommie." This was a blow to
father Eddie who quickly explained to Peggy that any Donovan who
doesn't love Mommie cannot stay in the household. He pointed out
Peggy's shortcomings to her and reminded her that she was often a
severe trial. At the end of his reprimand he said, "Now do you love
Mommie too?" ecYes," replied Peggy, "I love her three." "What!"
shouted Eddie in a voice so severe that Peggy quickly answered, ccFour."
Judy Anderson, no lover of fruitcake, felt disappointed in her
parents (Helen and Bob) one evening at dinner when their "surprise
dessert" turned out to be fruitcake. Fearful lest this food thing carry
over into Christmas she remarked, ttl hope we don't have to have any
more of those 'doughnut' cakes." "what do you mean by 'doughnut'
cake?" asked her mother. 'lOne of those with a hole in it."
Last year the George Youngs enjoyed the Christmas exhibit in
the elipse. Little Hazel, eight, was eagerly displaying her ability
3
to read as she wal ked along and saw the Christmas trees, donated and
decorated by various embassies in Washington. She proudly read,
"Gift of the Belgian Embassy, Gift of the Embassy of Greece, Gift
of the Embassy of Italy," etc. Then father George heard with great
amusement, "Oh Daddy, here is one from the Philistine Embassy!"
Hal/dor, Mr. Haralz's three-year old is puzzled every time he
passes the stores all beautifully decorated for Christmas. «What is
Santa waiting for? - Why doesn't he come now? We're ready, he can
corne any time, he doesn't have to wait for Christmas."
Joanne Johnston, age four, climbed upon her father's knee one
morning recently before he had shaved. Thoughtfully rubbing the
Johnston stubble Joanne inquired, "Are you Santa CIa us?"
Lindy Knapp, at the ripe old age of eleven, is happy that sister
Lisa, now two, is old enough to know about and believe in Santa.
She summed it up by saying, «Now that Lisa believes in Santa Claus,
I can relive my younger days."
Neddy Lamont observed with the eye of a true connoisseur the
golden reindeer which his mother had wrought through long and tedious
hours of work. She proudly placed her finished product on the mantel
only to have "her enthusiasm suddenly crushed when Neddy called it
ccSanta's big rain goat."
We asked r"frs. Garner if she could recall any amusing Christmas
incidents that occurred during son Robert's childhood. She said she
could not recall any specific remarks but that on the plantation it
was a time of much joy and gaiety. There were always many parties
and much company. She said son Robert enjoyed it all.
Little Lydia Fraser, six, gave a realistic account of her minute
on Santa's lap in a local department store. When asked what it was
like Lydia replied, ·Santa didn't smell good. " tt tWhite Horse'no doubt,"
said mother enjoying her own pun. "No," said Lydia, «reindeer sweat."
Donny Fowler, who takes Santa Claus very seriously, wrote his
letter and dropped it into the mail box before his parents could read
it to find out what he really wanted for Christmas. ·What did you tell
Santa you wanted?" ·You'll know," said Donny, ·when you see what
I get."
One of our modest members who prefers to remain anonymous admits
to the following:
When she was a little tike, she asked, "Mother, is there a Santy
Claus?" "Honey," answered Mother, "as long as you believe in Santa
Claus, there will be one." This worked so well that at age 12, the
4
child was tenderly taken aside by her mother who explained, "Honey,
Daddy and I are Santa. You can stop now. We'll keep on givin' you
presents." MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

TO STUDENT VISITORS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES
While you are in Washington, plan to visit the Foreign Student
Service Council, 2124 Florida Avenue, N. W.; DU 7-4294. You will
be welcome. There you may:
Obtain general information about Washington:
people, places and events;
Meet other students and visitors;
If you would like to visit an American horne, let them know at
FSSC and this will be arranged for you.
Mrs. Dorothy "Stevie" Lippincott, as is her custom on holiday
week-ends, took a group of Bank (and Fund) girls to share the Christmas
festivities at her spacious log cabin in the beautiful Taunton and
Medford Lakes district of New Jersey. From a nearby cranberry bog
they were able to pick the berries for sauce to garnish the turkey and
after stuffing themselves at Stevie's bountiful table, a few still had
enough ambition to go skating on the lake under the curious eyes of
the deer in the surrounding woods.

HAIL AND FAREWELL
by Frances C aimcross
On the 30th of August, 1955, my family and I first set foot in
America. Actually it was not my whole family. My father had corne to
America two months before, to buy a car, to rent a home, and have
everything ready for us when we arrived. He greeted us at the pier
and then hurried off to find someone to see to our many suitcases. It
was almost two hours before our baggage was attended to. That gave
us plenty of time to realize how hot New York is in August, and how
silly it is to wear kilts (made of thick wool) in the middle of summer!
Finally we arrived at our hotel in New York. There we spent the
night.
The next day it poured rain. This did not bother us. With true
Scottish spirit we dragged ourselves up the Starue of Liberty, the
Empire State Building, and arrived, tired out, at an automat. After
emptying my father's pockets and filling ourselves, we boarded the
train for Washington.
We were rather disappointed, however, to find that the buildings
were not half as tall as those in New York.

My father had chosen a very nice home for us. It was I arge, but
away from the main highways. We soon settled down, and after a few
days the schools opened up, and in we went. It was a fairly uneventful
school year. We all received rather bud report cards, which made my
father quite cross. As usual, I did not send off any Christmas presents
until two days before Christmas, and did not answer any letters or
cards on time.
The summer vacation began, and we took a few camping trips.
My aunt arrived from England in June and stayed with us till the be
ginning of August. We joined a nearby swimming club, and spent many
happy days in that.
In late June my mother and my aunt spent two weeks in the West.
They met Navaho Indians, slept in tents, and my mother was bitten
by what she believes to hav~ been a scorpion.
In July we spent a fortnight in Maine, canoeing, swimming, rowing
and fishing. My aunt painted the beautiful scenery, and my brother
Philip and I both fell into the nearby lake fully dressed.
After seeing my aunt off on the "Queen Elizabeth," we went back
to school. Two of my brothers joined a church choir, and the other
one went off to the neighboring playschool. I became tied up in Algebra
and Latin.
Now it is December. Soon we will leave this wonderful counuy.
I wish to thank all of you for your great kindness and hospitality to
my family and myself. Goodbye.
AID TO HUNGARIAN REFUGEES
The response to the appeal for aid to Hungarian refugees has
been prompt and generous. During the first week that the collection
box was in the lobby two loads of clothing were conuibuted by staff
members of the Bank, IFC and Fund. It is hoped our staff will continue
this good work where the need is so great and help whole-heartedly
appreciated. Donations of money may be sent to the Staff Relations
Office.

BOWL~NG~'1HBR®OKS
Your reporter, suffering the past few weeks with a ccode in the
node,' was unable to bowl and so accepts no responsibility for the
accuracy of the current column. Indeed, if it should happen that the
statements contained herein are factual, that will mark a milestone
in the Bowling with ....• !
And now to press: On the highest authority we have it that four
teams in one night, as Shakespeare as well as John L. Lewis, were
wont to say, locked in deadly embrace. The said four teams had to
stay on and on, the while they continued to roll off the games, until
in sheer desperation the pin boy threatened to quit the alleys and let
the bowlers ·stand 'em up."
With ten of the twelve teams having but a four game differential,
you can see that it is still anyone's opportunity to come out on top.
That's what we say. President's Office, however, which in two weeks
has jumped from sixth to first place, does not concur in this opinion.
They aim to stay right where they are for the rest of the season and
they feel with Bill Bailey, who at this writing has High Average, Set,
Game, Spares and is tied with Pete O'Neill and Tony Perram for
Strikes, they are invincible. Ellie Bennett continues to hold the lead
for high flat game for the women, with Jim Twining doing likewise
for the men.
We had hoped at this writing, to be able to report the result of
the very extensive - to say nothing of intensive - survey made by
Olga Dinneen, Marion Brooks and Pete O'Neill, concerning a Saturday
afternoon tournament with party following. However, Thanksgiving
got in the way and now with Christmas just around the corner and all
the excitement of Santa Claus with his parties and his presents, it
was felt it might be better to hold off until 1957 makes its debut and
then come to a decision as to time and place. Okay?
Have a wonderful Christmas everyone. The especially lucky ones
will find bowling shoes and bowling balls in their stockings, no doubt.
