Lyons III, publicity. By 1EAN SPRAIN WILSON Writer NEW YORK (AP)-The way to turn cartwheels at 60 with the agility of a 10-year-old is hot to (top turning them when you're 20, 30, or 50. This is actress Molly Picon's philosophy about growing older, and it applies not only to physical gymnastics but mental ones as well. On the street, at her corner grocery, or at the stagedoor after matinees women old enough have remembered Molly when she was a star of the Yiddish theater on the lower East Side 43 years ago ask admiringly, "How do you do it, Molly?" While they refer to her gazelle-like leaps and ferris- wheel spins along the footlights of her current Broadway musical, they also survey enviously her ingenue figure and her mobile face, young with animation. Lonely Years If she has more time, and the occasion'warrants it, ageless Molly will elaborate on the cartwheel answer.

For the wasted capabilities of many women in their middle years is a subject close to her heart. With grown families and busy husbands they often become literally sick with loneliness and idleness, Molly knows. Some lose themselves to reality with the television sets. And many lose their figures via automobile and automatic household equipment. "So why do you ask me to buy you a new TV and car?" jokes her husband, business manager playwright and producer Jacob Kalich.

"Yonkets, you don't have to buy me a new body-yet?" retorts petite Molly. Despite her calisthenics onstage, she walks the hour-long route to the theater each day, and on weekends- at their country home takes part In some vigorous gardening activity. "If your muscles stay used to it, they don't know they shouldn't just because they're older. "If your muscles get lazy, you should expect them to complain." Mental Exercise The same can be said for mental muscles, insists Molly. Of course, she's been lucky, "never bored a day of my life." And she admits that the average middle-aged woman does not have her good fortune of having career to fill the gaps of being needed.

"But nobody should grow stale. If a woman's family is grown, maybe that's the time she should take on other people's. If she is feeling sorry for herself, all she has to do is volunteer for some welfare organizations and she'll find her own troubles are small compared to others. "No matter how limited a woman's talents are, she can be useful, and she can feel fulfilled." Grandma's Werds Molly's and Jacob's fulfillment came with the adoption and education of three European refugee children, with postwar and years of entertaining in Jewish internment and concentration camps. Much of Molly's wit, wisdom, philosophy about life in general, and maturity specifically, came from her grandmother Sarah Ostrow, a tiny Jewish lady of such indominable spirit that she did not, until she was 85 and the doctor told her flatly, discover she had grown old.

After years of reciting tales of her grandmother's troubles with boarders, match-making, and family-rearing on stage, Molly recently wrote a book about her called, "So Laugh A Little." "It cost me $5 to find out I'm old," Molly says her irate grandmother protested when she came home from the doctor that awful day. "And you know what, children? I would not give you two cents for it." And those are Molly's sentiments, too. Club Events THURSDAY Theatre Guild, 8 p.m. at Kingsport Utilities. Plans will be discussed for next play.

Luke Wright gave a talk at the recent meeting of the Snmmersville HDC. She spoke on the history of Christmas as a holiday and the message that Christmas has for everyone. No one knows definitely when the Christmas festival was first celebrated. Several dates were celebrated before the permanent one was selected. December twenty-fifth was adopted by order of Bishop Liberious of Rome in the year 354.

It was noted later that this date would fall within the rainy season in Palestine, so that the shepherds would hardly have been in the fields at night as they were when Jesus was born. The early church fathers probably chose Dec. 25th because the "Feast of the was a familiar Roman feast, celebrating flie victory of light over darkness. The idea was easily turned from a pagan to a Christian one, since Christians consider Christ as the light of life. Scholars may dispute the date.

History cannot deny the fact. For Christmas is a fact rather than a date. It is the wonderful truth that Christ, Son of God, chose to come to earth as a member of a family. In this we see where He put His approval upon the fam- ily as a social and spiritual unit. In this day the Communists are doing everything possible to destroy the home as God instituted it in the Holy Scriptures.

There are many Christmas legends. Some have spiritual meaning, have to fit in with Christian festivities. The Christmas tree is an example. Tree worship was common in some countries. When the pagans in Europe became Christians, they their sacred evergreen trees a part of their Christmas festival and decorated it somewhat as we do with ornaments and candles.
