But . . . have you noticed what conditions prevail these last few days before Christ mas? Instead of children with alowina. hap py faces, we see almost every one, with glowering, unhappy ones. Poor little fellows, half of 'em are crying as mama drags them away from the toy window, not realizing that .little boys and girls can't own everything, and anyway maybe Santa will bring them half the windowfull on Christmas morning, but not before. Our boys . . We hare such a very nice police force. Saturday one of them graciously gave us a ticket for overparlring (well, not really overparking, just not putting a penny in for any parking) and when we happened along, he told about how customers calling at headquarters before midnight would get the 50c Christmas special. Down, at the station, they were equally j nice, taking our money and even finding a gift certificate for an old ticket we'd overlooked. There was even a reception committee waiting outside where our car was parked in that special zone marked, "Police cars only." People should call there more often, and get ac quainted with the boys. Off our chest . . . Seeing the white sweaters for motorcycle riders in the Cycle Man's window, we hope that style won't ever pre vail for automobile drivers because we think we'd look awfully funny with "Studebaker" written across our chest. Class by themselves . . . We like to answer telephone questions for most people, but there is a type which always makes us won der. This person asks a question which re quires a good bit of effort to look up, and when we give the answer, they reply, "Well, thank youv anyway." Something new very minute ... We ask ed the saleslady at the bookshop for "My Friend Flicka." She asked what kind of a book it is. We replied that' it was a book about a horse, for a little girl. She offered another story about a horse. We replied that we wanted "My Friend Flicka." She sug gested some of Zone Grey's books "about horses." We said it was for a little girl. Her reply was. "You'd be surprised how many little girls like Zone Grey's books." We com promised, we didn't get Flicka, but we let her keep her Zone Grey. Tm Dreaming . . . of a White Cnristmas" she said as she wiped the- cinders from her eyes, peered through the smoke from Sa lem's great industrial section and took her clothes to the cleaners. Now to prove It . . . we hope that all those service men who have so much good to say of the Salvation Army's treatment of them during the war years, will remember the organization during this season. The Salva tion Army helps those in need even after the service men have returned home. They ask little, they should get much. AND . . . a very merry Chirstmas to alll ... Maxine Buren.
