CHAPTER IV
Steve and Nancy were all bun
dled up' tight in coats and hats
and mittens and rubber overshoes
when they went over to climb out
of the window twith Santa Claus
and make the long trip to the
Dorth pole. f
First Steve climbed but of the
window, and then he helped
wancy out. v
Santa found it much easier set
ting out of the window than he did
getting in, but even so, it took
Steve and Nancy," each pulling one
of Santa's long pointed shoes, to
get him through.
After getting out, Santa closed
the window and adjusted his wide
learner ben and pulled down his
coat. - it
A Brfeht Shiny Sleich
They walked through the soft
white snow around the corner of
the house and there on the front
lawn was a sleek, silver sleigh. It
was bright and 6hiny, like some
one had used naother's silver pol
ish all over it But even shinier
still were the trimmings which
were all in gold.
And: those reindeer, all stand
; Ing straight and tali. Steve and
Nancy could just tell how proud
they were to be Santa's reindeer.
They all had gold harnesses and
the front pairs kept , pawing the
ground as if they wanted to be
off and away. S , P ,
They didn't have long to wait,
because Santa leaped to the seat
of the sleigh, pulling Steve and
Nancy with him.
-Hold On TItht, Kids"
"Hold on tight, kids," Santa
said. "These takeoff s are a litle
rough without much show on the
ground. f
Before the children had time to
say a word they were high in the
air. f -
They were going fast, so fast,
in fact, that the cold wind could
n't keep up with them, so it felt
nice and warm and calm riding
along in the sleigh.
"You can look: over the edges,
children, Santa said, "but don't
get too close to the edge. If -you
were to fall off I'd have to circle
around and catch you before you
hit the "ground and that's pretty
tricky business."
Steve looked over th a
his side Of the sleigh and down be
low mm he could see the Willam
ette river winding alon&and there
was"Keizer and Keizer srhnl.
They made a turn and Nancy
snouiea,"! can see tne fairgrounds
and there's the road to Silverton."
Town Go Br Sneedilv
They sailed over Brooks and
wooaDurn so last that the children
didn't have time to call out their
names. Bv then thpv wora - set
ting so high that they couldn't see
tne small towns, but they did see
Portland as it flashed underneath.
More towns and cities flew bv
and then the forests, vast forests
witn pretty lakes and high moun
tain peaks, all shining in the light
of the moon.
All the time there seemed to be
more snow on the ground, until at
last there was nothing but snow
and ice. Iceiled in big, jagged
heaps and long stretches of smooth
ice.
"Won't be long now," Santa
said. "See, up ahead are the north
ern lights. They help light up the
north pole during the long winter
nights. My, I'll be lad to get home
tonight. This jumping around
from store to store all day long
certainly keeps me busy."
Just about then he pulled up
sharply on the reins and the rein
deer began to circle about, slowly,
getting lower all the time. '
Chilly Wind Catches Up
And then the wind caught up
with them, all out of breath.. It
was certainly chilly. Steve and
Nancy were glad it hadn't been
able to keep up with them all the
way.
"WeH be inside in just a mo
ment." Santa said, as the sleieh
settled onto a long snow runway.
&ee tnose iignts up ahead. That's
where I live."
And there were hundreds of lit
tle lights up ahead, all different
coiors. Ana as bteve and Nancy
drew closer they could see that the
lichts were enmiriff from hnnHnu4a
of little windows, each one in a
ainerent little cottage, and the
lights of the windows painted
pretty pictures on the snow.
-nretty cold out here," Santa
said. "We'd better get inside." And
he led the children to the nearest
cottage door.

To Try A
Navy Ignores
Rocket Fizzle.
gain
WHITE SAND, N. ML, Dec. 1J
(JPhThe navy, undismayed by fail
ure to trying for a rocket altitude
record Tuesday r already is prepar
ing for another? test in the spring.
And a spokesman said the next
missile to be fired probably will
be even larger than the American
built Viking which fizzled in to
day's shoot. The launching is
scheduled for sometime in March.
Automatic controls shut off fuel
of the 5-ton Viking sent aloft
from : the White ' Sands proving
ground at 12:05 ajn. today after
65 seconds of powered flight.
As a result it climbed only 68
or 69 miles. In five previous Vik
ing shoots the top announced al
titude was 106.4 miles attained by
one fired from aboard a navy ves
sel in mid -Pacific last May 11.
The record for a single stage rock
et is 114 miles; by a rebuilt Ger
man V-2 fired here Dec. 17, 1948.
An American WAC corporal laun
ched from a V-2"in flight soared
250 miles above. the earth Feb.
24 1949. !
Newsmen were told the Viking,
-at its calculated rate of accelera
tion, should have climbed to 135
miles in another 10 seconds. Its
speed was estimated at 2,750 mi
les prior to the power cutoff.
Ground observers said the missile,
blinking like a blue star, appar
ently shut off and turned on pow
er at least three times.
Rosen tentatively blamed power
plant trouble.
