Device Diagnoses Heart Action
By LA WHENCE Hl BERT
• Now that Christmas has come
and gone it’s time for post mor-
tems and such. Most people seem
happy about it, although I suppose
that a scattering few here and
there are sUll grouching around,
but they don’t count anyhow, so
it’s time now for a happy New
Year to you, and you. and you!
• The only peculiar thing about
Santa Claus this year as far as
I am concerned was this: Every
year I usually receive lots of ties
and lots of socks this year, no
ties and only one pair of socks.
I suppose the explanation is that
the rest of the world hasn't got
a sock to stand in any more than
I have. And to top it off. the pair
I did get was two sizes too small.
My motto for next Christmas is
"More and larger socks.’’
