fen lit rmu N ic ho is oaA Niche's worth of . rr Comment On (7, , By HARMAM United Pre Wogton--OJ.R) A tiny tot O called Timmy wrot to Santa and said all h& wanted for Christ mas was some chlc whisk ers and a "gee tar" so he could look ilka Elvis Presley, The lad added a postsc r i p t: "My mommy told me I ought to know better." o That letter Svouad up like a great many otrrs-in the dead letter office, rRo discredit to Timmy. It hap- 'pens all the time. Mfst of the memos addressed 0 to thoman with the white under chin stubble and the- fat round bell get the same treatment. Q The dead letter office gets o letters to Mr. S. C. in large biiridles every day, most of them O addressed to the North Pole, where we hav. hardly any post offices.0 ' Son; Anti-Elvis Incidentally, the wiggle of the Presley isn't packing the wallop you'd expect ' among the very , yrtg. One youngster named' Tony 0 tild Santa that a string on his Presley guitar. had run aground. ' Can't I," he asked, ' trade her in fro- a mouth harp, or a frog, or 0 something?" . O cllany of the. letters, some in o This and That W. NICHOU Ft'atere Writer childish hand l&ttering and oth ers dictated by their elders, are pathetic. Others are on the hu morous side. A little girl named Diana wrote: "Will you please bring mama a "bathrobe and some slappers and if you have time you could add me a pair of rid ding botts." A girl named Pearl wants some "soup and some dishes to cook 'em in. And mommy said I need underware cause all my pantsies have holes." Santa Gats Gifts Santa gets his loot, too. A lot of letters contain cookies, some even money. One child enclosed a dime for the relief of the refugees from Hungary, "which I have been saving up for." Another put in a dollar for "Santa's helpers, who deserves it." Neither of these two fine kids asked for anything for themselves." Boy named Mike wrote four letters. All in one .envelope. He saved postage, too. He didn't even put a stamp on it. Mike's letters, in order, or dered Mr. Claus to deliver a cow, a tractor, a big car and a "great big hach ett." Little Patty perhaps was full of the milk of human kindness when she asked: "Santa, please leave me be.. But my mommy wants a big, big, kuukoo clock."

Ashland. and Frilled Dragon Shown At Zoo in San Diego San Diego, Calif. (U.P.) One of the few frilled dragons to enter the United States now is on exhibition at the San Diego Zoo. This bizarre reptile was brought here from Australia. It received its name from its ex tendible frill or cape which nor mally lies along its shoulders and sides, attached" to the sides of its head by elongated bones. When angered the dragon rai ses its scaly frill fanwise about its head at the same time open ing its mouth and hissing. Claus' shoulder for a long time, a couple of decades but there is a clinker among the uncooked coal. This same young man keeps asking for some bullets and a good sharp knife." That guy must be pushing 30 at least, by now. mmmmmmimitmimmm - Minim MfU'MUmm vJi, L;'-V ' . -'J '! ml . f if:) fecx v -' ASSISTING THE SLAYER of infant Peter Weinberger from a Mineola, N.

(International Soundpkoto) Thursday, Deeember SV, 1998 Judge's Judicial Patience Tried Cleveland, O. (U.PJ -When newly appointed Federal Judge Paul Weick heard, his first crim inal case here, he ran into a test of his judicial patience and pru dence. Robert Geiger, 32, could not enter a plea because he had lost his voice. His attorney explained that the accused forger was a victim of "anxiety neurosis." Weick took a fatherly attitude 1 toward the defendant and coun- j seled him not to be frightened. ' With the judge's reassurance, i Geiger managed to utter a barely ; audible "guilty" for cashing his divorced wife's tax refund check. VBETORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE WINE r o WHO?
