Town Clerk'Eugene Lester is like­wise an old friend; we have known him in his many capacities; for the longest, perhaps, when he was in the Bank. He should be able to han­dle his duties for the Town very efficiently.

The new Justice of the Peace, Charley W. Rush of Amagansett, is well liked, kind and fair; he han­dled the Zoning Commission chair­manship which was a very difficult job, with great tact and under­standing; those qualities sit well on a Justice.

PROTECTIVE COLORINGJohn Q. Public, who likes to si

that the “big wheels get away wi murder,” should take heart at son recent trends in the field of game law enforcement. It appears there are certain advantages ir ing just another taxpayer, at when it comes to gunning.

Within the last year, the game wardens have bagged at least congressman, four Air Force gi

day's limit), the govern< Kentucky (who is a former

of baseball), and a former New York State Conservation Com­missioner.

John Q., who probably wouldn't ren get his name in the paper if. ; were caught, should be excused he regards this mixed bag

ime satisfaction. He can't help be­little amused. True, his theory

brand new in that office, because i that the ‘'wheels" are never caught they have already assisted there and j is shot full of holes. But perhaps he Mr. Luther was an acting Assessor, realizes that there is something after the death of Kenneth Hedges j be said fot- being just another —are conscientious and serious men ] conspicuous citizen.

Good wishes to the men in Town, or the bald-pated general makes office who are already old hands at!perfect target for the wardens.

What’s New in New YorkBy DOROTHY QUICK

I don't suppose there is a city in the world that represents the Christmas spirit more than New Yqrk. There's hardly a street you can walk on, broad avenues or short streets that hasn’t done its very best to supply the Christmas touch, and everywhere there is a reminder of some sort or other of the season.

At night I lie in my bed and look out of my window at the cross in lights that shines from the facade of the Coliseum, and if I t tie to the right I can see a lighted Christmas tree in the Park, until midnight that is, but the cross shines brightly all night long.

Then there is . the wonder and magnificence of the Rockefeller tree all bright with colored lights and the parade of small trees, star topped toward the great one, tower­ing so splendidly.

Down on Fifth Avenue tfiere is the tree outlined on Lord and Tay­lor's facade, the bells ringing to call attention to the fairy windows.

Altman's have an old fashioned toych in their country stores of a decade or so ago. The stores are populnled by story-book friends, a shopping goat and a cow post­mistress, and many other barnyard animals waiting for the arrival of Santa, all very gay and festive with a fine sense of humor.

Macy’s has windows full of gifts for children with a live Santa out­side who tells the children what they may expect.

, Stern's have a window show of Tots in Toyland which would glad­den any juvenile heart, a Christmas carnival scene with many of the toys coming to life, dancing about.

Gimbel's have a house with San­ta's sleigh riding over it, and Santa goes down and up the chimney ev­ery fifteen minutes.

Oppenheim & Collins on 34th St. have a cupola over their entrance

Franklin Simon has a cathedral mosaic of the Madonna and child

entrance which is very beautiful, besides being one of the loveliest also the most fitting.

Farther up Fifth Avenue Black Starr and Gorham have tree-like triangles of electric lights and col­ored balls that are most effective.

Last year I saw one shop on Sixth venue whose window was deco­

rated with clusters of tree balls on silver ribbons of different lengths. I thought it one of the most Christ-

d prettiest of windows. This year a good many stores have used them to great ,effect.

Best has its huge electrically ighted wreaths again. The Tailored

Woman has two fascinating trees vith tiny rare colored bells i entrance and DePinna

outlines its windows full of Christ- > with greens strung w.ith

lights which make fine frames.Saks Fifth Avenue had their us- il choir loft and singers and

wreaths, all making for smart deco­rations and lovely music. Bergdorf Goodman’s has Christmas trees

immed with mirrors in various zes that glint beautifully.The Plaza and the Waldorf look

Christmassy without and over there and the Square at 59th Street and ~'i/th Avenue there are trees elec- rically outlined, and there are

lights on the fountain.Up in, Yorkville the streets are

gaily festooned with lights and greens and there are trees put up by the city at many strategic points which add to the seasonal cheer. I think I'd rather be in Manhattan at Christmas than anywhere else, and if I lived out of town I’d surely make a trip to the big city to enjoy the sights.

Looking Them OverThe Day After Christmas — The I like to mention just a few more,
