If you don't get me one,' that's O.K. I just won't leave any of those smoked Italian cucumbers with the fried pickle relish for you on the diamond coffee table we don't have. But of course I'd be satisfied with a goat because, I hear they eat cans and boy you should see my back yard, (wow) Or better yet, don t bring me a goat but something to clean my back yard up so I can have room for the elephant you might bring me. I'm positively, sure, I think maybe I have been a pretty good girl. I only socked that lady in the teeth because she looked funny and I don't think it was very nice of her to stick out her tongue at my favorite doctor. And I only shoot people with my B.B. gun that I think might be mean or have done something wrong. It doesn't ally hurt 'em much and only 20 have died. I am really an gel (usually.)

She seems to be having trouble seeing lately. I'd also like a few new tail feathers for my bird who lost hers in a fight with an alley cat two days ago. She is light purple with a pink stripe down what's left of her tail feathers. Also I'd like a pair of vocal chords for my canary who is having trouble singing.

Before I tell you what I want, I'll tell you where I live. I live in Ashland. When you come from the North Pole, find Oregon, then Ashland is easy to find because it has an awful lot of rain. There are a bunch of Schells up the street from my house and a Redbird has its nest a few blocks away, but it isn't in the woods ! ! ! Well now you know where I live. - Please bring Sharon Alncr teddy bear with sideburns. You'll have to kneel to crawl IS? SEE ALL.,.. The NEW '57 FORD AND MERCURY JIM BUSCH FORD SALES Ashland Who Is Santa! Who is Santa?" is a ques tion often asked by small children around this time of year. Just what would you say in answer to this question? One answer might be that he is the spirit of Christmas. He symbolizes the shepherds and Wise Men who gave gifts to the Christ Child. No mat ter what his name, in countries all over the world "Santa" brings joy at Christmas time. In Germany he is called Kris Kringle and in Holland, he is called St. Nicholas. There he places his gifts in the children's shoes. In Italy, it is a fairy who distributes the gifts. Mother Star is the Polish Santa. Scandinavian child ren wait at Yuletide for -a San ta who rides a goat. Here at home, in the United States, Santa Claus is the jolly, old man who drives a sleigh, pulled by reindeer, through the sky on Christmas Eve. He comes down the chimney and fills the children's stockings and places brightly wrapped gifts under the Christmas tree No, his name doesn t matter. It is the thought behind the symbol that counts. The thought of "giving." down her chimney 'cause its small. And please Santa Claus, bring me a gold chain to keep my temper on so I won't lose it. Your friend, Sandy Barriger P.S. Be careful you don't get lost in the Gray Alley a few blocks away. P.S. Please bring Lynn Hales a space suit and a record of "Garden of Eden." B & G CAFE 11 N.
