10 (U.P.)- -Christmas has always been a day of delight in the soundless, sightless life of Helen Keller but not this year. Here from her Westport, home to visit the annual Christmas sale of articles made by the blind, Miss Keller confessed through her friend, Polly Thomson, that she was doing her holiday shopping with a heavy heart. Faith Still Remains "I have no heart for festivity this year," she said. The words were translated by the pressure of her finger tips to her friend's hand. Then she signaled to her that she herself wished to speak and slowly and sadly she said: "There is faith in my heart that peace and happiness will come -but I cannot be gay this Christmas time when so many are suffering." "The war is almost more than she can bear," explained Miss Thomson, who has been her and ears since Miss Keller's Anne Sullivan Macy, died.

Although the blind woman retains her childlike delight in life and she particularly loves the varied smells attendant upon the holiday season, she is preparing little celebration for this Christmas, she said. One of the things that most distresses Miss Keller, she said, was the plight of the blind refugees. Since American laws do not permit the entry of handicapped people to this country, there is no place for them to go. Hopes for New Law "I asking that our immigration laws be changed," Miss Keller said. "They have been made for the good of the whole countryand so many of the blind are paupers.

But perhaps some day a new law can be made that will work it out." She added that she was doing what she could to help individual cases. "Even my words are a reproach to me," Miss Keller said, "I am doing so little and there is so much to be done." Ever since she herself learned, with the help Women to Hear New Yorker Mrs. Dorothy Lewis, New York, will discuss programs for children at Women's City Club meeting at 12:30 p.m. Saturday. Leaders of civic groups, parent-teacher associations and allied organizations will attend a luncheon at 12:30 p.m.

Saturday, December 14,. sponsored by the Louisville Women's City Club. The luncheon, to be held at the Canary Cottage, will present as principal speaker, Mrs. Dorothy Lewis, New York, who will talk on "Children's Radio Programs." Mrs. Lewis has been on tour throughout the United States studying local programs in an effort to discover what the national situation is with regard to children's entertainment.

Sweater Yarn Arrives At Red Cross Office An abundance of yarn, particularly for children's sweaters, is available at Red Cross headquarters, 1355 S. officers of the organization announced Tuesday.

Conversing promoting legislation for the blind and the with her are, left, Dr. Donald Van Slyke, and Miss growing number of publications in Braille have Polly Thomson, her companion who "translates." largely been attributed to her influence.

Thinner than she used to be, but still holding herself erect and moving with quick, birdlike motions that belie her 60 years, Miss Keller's shopping at the sale of articles for the blind consisted mainly of household things. She chose her small purchases largely by feel, but specified the colors she wanted. The odor of the bayberry candles was a special pleasure to her. "There are so many wonderful things in life," she said. "Why must we have wars? It is a form of blindness more difficult to overcome than lack of sight?" Choses Purchases Italians Plan Festive Yule Despite War By ELEANOR PACKARD.

United Press Staff Correspondent. Rome, Dec. 10 -Preparations are being made throughout Italy to celebrate Christmas with all the festivity possible despite the war. Although Christmas falls on a meatless and poultryless day--as are all Wednesdays -a special ruling is being drafted to enable Italians to have the usual turkey, capon, duck or roast pig on December 25, so despite the food control Christmas again will be a day of overeating. Masses Set Early The strict blackout regulations made midnight masses and torchlight processions impossible but Catholic churches throughout the country, in accordance with Pope Pius' special instructions, are planning large-scale celebrations for the afternoon of December 24, to terminate before nightfall.

As many leaves as possible will be granted Italian soldiers and sailors during the holidays. Pilots who distinguished themselves in recent air battles will be allowed to fly home to visit their families. The role of "Befana," the mythical fairy godmother who is Italy's Santa Claus, will be played this year for soldiers and their babies by thousands of Red Cross nurses. Led by Crown Princess Marie Jose, the Red Cross nurses have been working since the outbreak of the war to alleviate the hardships of Italian soldiers at the front. For Christmas they have prepared many thousands of packages containing candies.

chocolate, cigarettes, writing pa- per, books, soap and clothing. Celebration Banned Many of these have already been sent to the fronts by planes, where they will be distributed on Christmas Day. The traditional Epiphany Eve celebrations will not occur this year as Italian children will have only a three-day holiday. But Italian parents will give their children presents on Epiphany Day as usual instead of December 25 in commemoration of the day the Three Wise Men brought gifts to the Christ Child in Bethlehem. In Albania, both Italian and Albanian troops will receive Christmas packages from the Red Cross- from the air to remote units or the men actually on the front lines.

This will be an exceptionally quiet Christmas at the Vatican. According to custom, the Pope will receive the cardinals on Christmas Eve when they will convey their greetings to the head of the church. At this time the Pontiff is expected to make a speech as he usually does on this date, surveying church and world affairs during the past year.

Why Good Grooming requires keeping DARK ARCS DRY If you still are tolerating perspiration under the arms, just listen to facts about hygiene in these dark arcs that any doctor can give you: It's uncleanly! That repellant underarm odor signals decay! That perspiration which damages gowns is decomposed! Because the dark arcs are closed to purifying air and light, perspiration decays before it evaporates.

There still are some metal-made toys to be had- -anti-aircraft guns, artillery units on wheels and on trucks, machine guns and ambulances, armored cars and tanks spitting fire as they roll along, commanders' cars which start moving if blown at. Various types of German airplanes, among them the famous Messerschmitt, Heinkel and Junkers, are greatly In demand. Tiny spring driven motors propel these airplanes, and machine guns in the wings sputter streams of fire. Toy Planes Rationed These articles, however, are rationed. Only one such piece can be sold to any customer.

Steam and electrically driven locomotives practically have disappeared, and toy railways made of wood have taken their place. Girls are comparatively better off. Big blonde dolls are still to be had. Considering the rationing of all textiles, their dresses must be regarded as of pre-war standard. Miniature kitchens with shining pots and pans, and various dishes of aluminum, are also on sale.

Toys for the little ones, like teddy bears, dogs and elephants, have not suffered by the war, and can be obtained in all qualities and sizes, according to one's purse.
