Aunt Mary meant well, but why
didn't she pay more attention to size?
Aunt Mary didn't send Mr. Shepherd
(below right) this shirt, but the pose
is typical of the frame of mind of
those who wish kind-hearted rela
tives would send checks instead of
clothes.
It's that time of year when every
one resolves to smoke and eat less,
to get to work on fime'for a change
or to help the little woman with the
dishes. . J. P. Tobin, Highland drive
(upper left) who resolves every Mon-.
day morning that some day he's go
ing on a diet, cheerfully poses with
a drumstick in one hand and a copy
of "It's a Sin to be Fat" in the other.

Mrs. Tobin (at right, center) is
sure the new year will bring some
fun because she is already enjoying
Bebe, miniature poodle puppy which
was a Christmas gift from her hus
band. With Bebe around, life won't
be dull for the Tobins in 1955.
Like most lively -youngsters, the
three children of Mr. and Mrs. Rich
ard Jewett, 921 Winchester avenue,
(center, at left) are rough on play
things and by the middle of last
week the new Christmas toys were
beginning to show signs of wear.
Jimmy, 8, (at left) displays the re
mains of his nevv "Slink' now bad
ly snarled, while Anne, nearly 3, and
tommy, 5, look op.
Joe McKnight, (lower left) knows
it was a Happy New Year, early Sat
urday morning and that it will be (
again, but for a time he probably
' wasn't too sure. Mr. McKnight, main
tenance man at the Medford Elks
temple, surveys wreckage typical of
that which faced the clean-up com
. mittee and maintenance staffs Sat
urday morning. (Brainerd photos).
