NO MATTER WHAT, 
SANTA COMES THRU 
By Peggie Ann Wright 
Do you believe in Santa? Well, 
here’s the story about Joe Oso- 
rio’s little boy, Joe, Jr., and he 
certainly does! 
Before a brightly glowing fire- 
place with his daddy sat little 
Joe, worried about Santa’s trip 
through a chimney that was 
afire. 
“Daddy,” he asked, “how is 
Santa going to come down the 
chimney with a fire there? 
Joe, somewhat perplexed as to 
the proper answer, momentarily 
took care of the situation by as- 
suring him that Santa would 
come all right, and then took ad- 
vantage of the boy’s first ab- 
scence from the room to place all 
the toys near, very near, ithe 
flames. 
About five minutes later, little 
Joe returned. “Oh, he did come!” 
exclaimed the lad, “and they're 
hot, daddy, they’re hot!’ (Being 
immediately salvaged, nothing 
burned, and little Joe’s faith in 
Santa has grown even stonger. ) 
NICE GESTURE 
En route to 
Islands, Mrs. Howard F. Weiss, 
of Madison, Wisconsin, recently 
stopped by to tell us of the pleas- 
ure she had received this year 
from the E. W., McLellan’ €o; 
heather packaged and shipped to 
department stores in Madison 
where she met, by chance, Rod’s 
sister at the heather counter. She 
said heather 1s an unusual cut 
flower for that part of the coun- 
try and certainly has been en- 
thusiastically received there!
