The night was very still for the hour was late. The gaily wrap ped packages, each of a dif ferent size and Bhape and color and all carefully tagged, were piled under the ever green tree waiting for Christ mas morning. Then a crealure stirred (it wasn't a mouse) and out from the deep shadows oi me room's far corner, a silent form approached the tree. The form paused for a mo- eniffari thp hHffhtlV papered presents. From the array of gins me iamuy auis, Stuffy, selected one that bore one simple name on the tag -his own. A dry rustle of paper broke the inner stillness of the room as the cocker spanlal opened the package and re moved the contents. Again the Christmas Eve silence descended over tne house. The family, undisturb ed, slept on. The night passed and a Dngni sun neramea wie dawn of a Christmas day, Nancy, the 10 - year - old daughter of the family, dress ed hurriedly and rushed into the living room. All was neat and orderly except for the one package, the one that had been tagged with the simple word, "Stuffy." A few feet away from the tree was the rubber toy, the same toy Nancy had wrapped so care fully and tied so beautifully the day before.

He was sitting sheepishly in the far corner of the room with what Nancy thought was a guilty look on his face. He gave every indication of being exceedingly sorry for what he had done. He seemed to re gret now that his curiosity had apparently got the better of his usual good judgment. In a moment of weakness he had opened his present ahead of time. Nancy's family have had a year to think about Stuffy's strange behavior. Naturally they are curious to know how Stuffy knew which gift was his. They remember speaking the dog's name when the gift was being wrapped but that does not answer the question. Friends of the family tell them it was "just a coinci dence," but was it? You see, Nancy, there are many people who will tell you that Stuffy smellcd your hands on the package or that he detected a familiar odor of the toy contained In the pack age. They will offer you all sorts of reasons and explana tions, and the chances are all will be wrong. You will be surprised to learn, Nancy, that there arc plenty of folks who are sub consciously jealous of an ani mal's intelligence. They want to believe that man, and man alone, has the ability to think or to reason things out in a logical order. Probably those folks arc very wrong. To Mix Chemicals You will eventually learn, Nancy, that It Is relatively easy for a group of men and women to make an automobile or a guided missile or an elec tronic brain or a fly swatter. These are materials; men know how to mix chemicals. Your mother knows the prop er amount of flour, cgt;s and flavoring that will turn into a cake. All these things are rclntivcly easy If you know how. But no man, or group of men, can figure out how another man's mind works or how or what he is thinking. Neither docs anyone know what thought processes may cause your dog to do the things lie does. Proobnbly Stuffy did hear his name mentioned when the packages were being wrapped. He may have associated his name with that one particular package. His desire to know what it contained got the best of him; he Just had to know what he was going to get for Christmas. This year he may not re. peat the performance. Maybe lie will want to but he may think you do not approve. Dogs, like many other ani mals, probably have a sense of perception we humans are unwilling to admit. 9283 I A SIZES J 36-48 l : I ! 1flsiifcM'Tfikii Resolve to look your most attractive In a sheath with slimming lines, soft details.

Eidswick. The new rate goes into effect Jan. 7. Research shows that, in 1847, the post office depart ment issued its first stamps, including a nickel stamp for the basic prepaid letter rate, Eidswick said. Since 1932, Eidswick said, while living costs for the American family have sky rocketed by 118 per cent, the cost of mailing a first-class letter has only increased by 1 cent, or 33 per cent. At 5 cents, he said, as in 1847 -it will still be one of the greatest bargains in American history. Of the total volume of first class letter mail handled lo cally and in the nation, 75 per cent, he said, is generated by business concerns. The re maining 25 per cent, he con tinued, generally consists of personal letters to friends and relatives, and individual busi ness correspondence, The one-cent increase on first-class mail, he noted, will only cost the average family about one-half cent per day. or about $1.80 a year. He cautioned, however, that patrons after Jan. 7 must af fix an additional penny stamp when using 4 cent stamps to send first-class letters. The new 5 cent stamp, he said, will bear the picture of George' Washington and will be printed in blue. In all, he added, more than 70 different George Washington stamps have been issued and the num ber of such Washington stamps sold totals more than 405 billion. Medical Investigator System To Start Jan. 1 The new medical investi gator system replaces the Jackson county coroner Jan. 1, Dr. A. Erin Merkel, public health officer, has reminded County residents. D. Merkel will become the county's chief medical in vestigator. An assistant med ical investigator is yet to be appointed, Dr. Merkel said. Operating under the new system will be deputy inves tigators consisting of all state policemen and whoever other law enforcement agencies may designate, Dr. Merkel said. The deputy investigators may conduct the investigation into a death, but may not sign the death certificate, accord ing to the new law. Sei No Great Chang Dr. Merkel said a bill will be considered by the new I state legislature to change this. "I see no great change in procedure except each death will be personally investigat ed by a physician or whoever he may designate. Dr. Merkel said. "Dr. Robert Buck and Dr. Thomas Tinsley, both certified pathologists, will do the post-mortems or make the autopsies, he added. "The county must pay half the cost of each autopsy, plus the cost of the assistant med ical investigator at so much per call plus one-way travel. Otherwise there will not be much change in the costs," the public health officer said. - The new system in this county becomes effective at the expiration of the term of office for Carlos Morris, pre sent county coroner until Jan. 1.

"OIL TO BURN" MobilKtit S I H Grn Stamps MEDFORD FUEL CO. 771-3111 Paula 8. I want to knit my boy friend, a sweater. Mrs. D. S. You don't knit a sweater for a casual friend. Paula S. I'm 18 and a high school senior. For the past four months I have been going steady with a boy who is 18. To my great delight he presented me with an ankle bracelet for Christmas. In view of that I decided not to give him the LP record I had bought for him, but instead to knit him a skating sweater. My mother says no. First of all, she says, it's too expen sive a gift because the wool alone will cost $22. Then she claims it's too personal a gift. But why can't I give him something extra - special? I feel quite serious about him. Mrs. D. S. A handmade, custom-fit sweater made by a girl for a boy is too important a gift to be handed out to a high school friend. I told Paula she can knit a boy a sweater when he's the boy she's engaged to. Meanwhile she should keep things light and changeable. Her friend was wrong to give her such a personal item as a slave-bracelet for her leg, In my days kids that age gave each other books and stationery. But for Paula to reciprocate with another in timate gift would be just as wrong. And two wrongs don't make a right. Actually it's a cheap anklet, not worth more than $3. Giv ing back a sweater worth at least $50 all told is like try ing to "buy" the boy. The Council: The thing to remember about gifts, Paula, is that they "say" things. The gift you propose to offer your young friend may say too much. That's what your moth er is warning about. You re very precious," pro claims an object which costs a lot. Add the cost of the wool to hours of exclusive application and attention, and you see why a hand knit sweater for an 18-year-old may be too eloquent a token at this stage of a teen-age friendship. By next year this time the fellow may be wear ing it on dates with some body else. "This old thing?" he may explain. "Some girl felt like making it for me." While the boy's gift of an ankle-bracelet is a fun sort of thing, also assuring to extent, it's an easy-on, easy-off prop osition. The very "giving" is over with fast. The expendi ture of money, time, emotion doesn't add up to a major investment. True, the gift is of a personal nature, but since it's only costume jewel ry and not "real" it may still be accepted lightly. To corroborate our stand, in fairness to Paula and her generous impulse, we turned to the etiquette books. Sure enough we found that high school girls "going with" boys over a long period are advis ed, nevertheless, to shy away from gifts which are expen sive and personal. For in stance, the books say No to white shirts, pajamas, gold jewelry, but Yes to neckties, gloves, scarfs, and sweaters (store-bought).' Better hold off on such a labor of love as a sweater made by hand every stitch of the way, Paula. It would be more becoming on the man of your life when you're sure he is. It should take a few more years to be sure. For the current light of your life, select a present that won't require all that measuring.
