Hitler Refugee Reveals rlans for Yule Season By BETTY ANN STEVENS AUTHOR’S NOTE: Facing one of the most bewildering assignments in the career of an old, fat jo'urnalism major, we vaguely found ourselves downing a slight coke, after taking two aspirins, with the following as a hazy result: * * * “Pull up a snowdrift and sit down,” cozily invited the bewhiskered gentleman, cheerily waving a red-coated arm. "Man of the month? well, shiv er my munsingwear," he feebly exclaimed. ‘‘My activities?’’ queried the nice man, his eyebrows rising to puzzled heights, and recoiling j^-uptly into the snow. ‘■We patiently sat, waiting for an answer, and ‘‘Nicky, as my wife calls me” sat, waiting en lightenment. Presently he picked up an icicle, and we sat munching in unison, singing “Jingle Bells” to the tune of “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas,” which was waxing thinly from his portable. “That was the radio that I got from the nazis when I escaped from Hitler in ‘Superman’,” he explained. “Those nasty nazis don’t show me a thing,” he en gagingly grinned. Who? We’d never kept up with Su perman. “Crunch, crunch,” we munched. “My activities,” he reiterated monotonously. Chicly garbed in a daring suit fireman red, with white touches, he revealed between “my activities” that his suit won’t be such a stunningly bright shade from now on because of government priorities on dyes. Athletic Now Presenting quite an athletic appearance, in contrast to his former plumpness, he confided that body conditioning has reached the far north, too. “My activities!” “What say?” “MY ACTIVITIES! I turned in my sleigh bells for the scrap drive, and Mrs. C. is an air raid spotter for the new crop of toy airplanes we’re putting out. Of course there are a lot of frozen commodities this year,” he ad mitted, the words falling in lit « tinkles of ice in the snow. “You know, one thing I’m really teeth for is the current fuel short age,” he enthusiastically went on. “It isn’t half as hard to go down chimneys, and they aren’t quite so sooty, which cuts my cleaning bills in half . . • and you know what the cleaning sit uation is these days!” “What coeds ask for?” He pondered deeply. “Well, from their letters,” he softly drawled, “I’d say that most of them feel like a new man. I don’t quite know how I’m ever going to fit them into gift wrappings.” Coke Date Casually he blew into his bun ny-fur mittens and said, “I’ll drop you off at your house. I have a coke date at the Siber rian, so it won’t be any trouble at all, really.” In the middle of a large pud dle on Alder street, the sleigh landed, as Mr. C. remarked, “Donder and Blitzen are really in the pink since I’ve had them overhauled with a dose of vita min pills. You might tell your public that gasoline rationing will absolutely not affect gift service this year.” Continuing Our After Thanksgiving APPAREL SALE DON’T MISS THIS BIG BARGAIN GIVING EVENT!
