Through all these years, Phelan cautioned, we have come to consider this a land of ununited success and our freedoms, the heritage of our forefathers. "These things we cherish are rapidly being pilfered from us we've lulled ourselves to sleeD with patriotic songs and now we must act," Phelan urged. He attacked the trend and growing clamor for "free medicine free glasses and even free false teeth" dispensed "by "the lavish hand of a vote getting government."

Heavy on Toys Curtains, blankets, bedspreads and draperies, lamps and. rugs, are among items "standing by" for Christmas delivery, in addition to many sizes, types and kinds of toys.

As one merchant explained, toys are usually bought in advance and kept in the store due to lack of storage room in the homes, and to keep "surprises" from prying children.

One of Racine's leading stores reports that there are all indica tions, from bulletins, reports of firm dealers and other sources of a huge Christmas business. Until recently, retail buying was "so-so" due partly to the aftermath of scare-buying of heavy appliances last June and July. The warm weather slowed the clothing sales, but with the advent of the cold snap, at least one store had one of the biggest weeks in its history.

Another said "layaway" buying for heavy winter clothing started last July, and most of the articles were "picked up" during the recent cold snap. Another said many purchasers of big items on time-payments were "finishing up" the payments before Christmas shopping.
