Bachelor St. Nick
j Finds Going Tough
In No-Man's Land
Br BOB LEONARD
s I (A Blnnla Man)
Say, pal, have you thought
' about Christmas (hopping lor
the missus?
;A Ya have, huh? Tough, Isn't it?
But wait'll ya start out. Say
Buddy, it's tougher than lug-
gin the ball through tackle
when tho opposition is Minne
... iiota and your blockers all have
anemia.
; Ya don't know what she
wants?
Chum, that's the least of your
worries. She'll probably let ya
know one way or another if
she hasn't already.
' But buyin' it is something else
again. Whadda you know about
stocking sizes, matching colors,
or , . . er . . . lingerie? I'll
betcha can't even pronounce it
HORRIBLE EXAMPLE
Take me for example. A
single, unattached guy who
knows nothin' about such things.
Probably even less than you
do. And what happens? The man
aging editor says, Bud, -go get
a story on what a husband ought
to buy his wife for Christmas.
' Me, who's never done nothin'
to nobody . . . except maybe to
forget to pay him off cn that
Washington-Oregon business last
week.
" Well, I lixe to eat as well as
you do, so what do I do?
I go out and approach a sales
lady who is standing there be
hind a row of stockings. I says
lady, I want to buy a present
for my boss' wife. What would
you suggest?
' She says, how well do you
know her or would you rather
look at costume jewelry?
I says with a cold eye lady,
the present is for him to give
his wife, not for me to give his
wife.
V. She says O, pardon me, kid,
and shows me a pair of nylon
sox with cotton . uppers -' and
hooves. They sell for $1.50, she
says with a sigh. We got others
without the cotton for $1.95 and
$2.50, ' she says with another
sigh.. r :
Yeah? I says, how about, silk?
She says do you think we got
silkworms? I says madam, I hope
not,, why? She replies that ex
cept for a slight monthly allot
ment which is probably sold
out I cannot buy any.
YES, HOW ABOUT WOOL
. I says, how about wool? She
says, we got cotton. I says, how
about wool? She says the cotton
ones -come in shades.-I says.
how about wool? She shows me
some cotton ones which are - a
bright red and which I have -not
seen since the last time I -went
to the circus., ...
I' says madam, the boss' wife
has enough trouble balancing
the budget without trying it on
a trapeze.
So she says why don'tcha buy
her a pair of slacks and forget
the whole thing. I says, do you
have anything in jewelry?
.You betcha. Bud, she says,

brightening. So she hands me
six-inch sparkler made of purple
Chechoslovakian glass stones
which blinds three clerks two
aisles away and burns a hole
in the front door.
Sealed beam? I asked.
Don't be silly, she says, this
costs 10 dollars.
I says pardon ME for being
silly and asks about luggage.
She says, does the boss' wife
go on weekend trips? I says, not
without the boss. She says, not
batting an eye, then she will
need a trunk.
I says I said weekend trips,
not week-long trips. She will
still need a trunk, she says, you
know how women are. I am be
ginning to find out, I says,
witnout saying Buddy you
ain't seen nothing yet, she hauls
out a trunk in which she says
the boss' wife can put three
fur coats, six-pair of shoes, 10
dresses, and the boss if they ain't
getting along well. It is a fear
some gadget. I says what will the
bosses wife do with it when she
is not traveling?
OUT OF THE HAT
Well, the lady says, she could
put in a fireplace and use it for
the east wing. Lady, I says, you
have something there but show
me something in a small over
night bag.
About the only thing that will
fit, she says, is a rabbit and that
condition won t ' last long.
Madam, I says, ' don't be
facetious, has this thing got a
zipper on it? Yes, she says, but
they ain't making zippers any
more so you better buy now.
I says, what will you do when
the zippers are all gone.
Mister, she says, what will
YOU do? .
By that time I could see. that
I was gettin' nowhere so I says
what do you think about a coat?
She says they are indispensible,
particularly in the winter.
How much is a good , warm
fur coat which will last for 20
years?, I ask. She replies that
the only- thing they got along
that .line is either a bottle of
hair tonic, or a coffin, neither
of whicau would look very nice
under -the tree.
FOOLS RUSH IN
So then I -went into the lin
gerie department.
Maaam, 1 says to a young
lady sitting there sociably chew,
tag her gum, I am looking for
Did you leave it here?, she
asks. . -..-. -r- j-.
Lady, you misunderstand me,
I says, I am looking lor a Christ
mas gut for the bosses Wife.- --
Mmmm, . she says.
. Madam, ' I says desperately,
you still do not get it, I am
looking for a- Christmas gift for
the bosses wife to give to the
boss. - v .-- ....
What size does he wear?, she
asks. : . - - t -
I mean, I-shouts, I am look
ing for a gift for the boss to
give a wife.
Whose wife?,' she says crack
ing her - gum. .
A TRIFLE SLIPSTICK
My. wife, I mean his wife.
what have you got in slips?,
l says changing the subject.
Two mannikms and four sales
girls, she says, would you like
to look at them?
I will take the mannikins, I
says choking
They do not do our merchan
dise Justice, she says hopefully.
i says uiey will do.
She says slips come in many
different shades and sizes with
or without lace. Buddy, right
here I would suggest you find
out these things before you go
snoppin .
How about panties?. I asks.
How about them?, she says
belligerently.
How about the price, -1 says
quickly. . ...
Nylons are $3, she replies.
That is too much, how about
wool?, I asks. They are warmer.
They certainly are, she says.
Well, Buddy, as you can see
I was not making any progress
so i went across the street and
bought a box of chocolates. .
It was much easier,.

Have You Thought -Of
a Cedar Chest
Perhaps no Christmas gift car
ries the romantic connotation so
much as the cedar chest. Hence
the increased sale of attractive
styles of chests In the past year
undoubtedly is related to the in
creased issuance of marriage lic
enses. The chests are now made In a
wide selection of woods (over ce
dar, since government specifica
tions call for 70 per cent cedar
content), and there are period
styles in walnut, maple and ma
hogany veneers, in Modern Early
American and 18th Century pat
terns. An innovation this year is
a cedar chest of drawers called
the "Stow-Away."
HEAVY POSTA
BUSINESS
0
ILF.Fi
0 SE N
Klamath Falls' postoffice re
ceipts have increased steadily
during 1941, according to Burt
E. Hawkins, postmaster, and in
view of increased purchasing
power of Klamath basin resi
dents through the zooming na
tional defenso program, Christ
mas postal business this year
should bo the city's greatast tri
bute to St. Nick through postal
channels.
To counteract the expected
volume Increase at the postoffice,
27 extra men are to be added
to the present staff of 51. Most
of the "subs" will deliver Christ
mas parcels to Klamath Falls
homes. They'll start about De
cember 17 or 18, when the rush
really starts.
To take care of the thousands
who will mall packages this
season, three additional posting
windows are to be open. In
addition, a substation at Hend
ricks drug store on South Sixth
streot Is expectod to relieve the
pressure on the main postoffice
by use of suburbanites south of
the city. This substation li the
only one now maintained.
Postmaster Hawkins voiced a
note of caution on the matter of
mailing letters, Christmas cards,
and parcels.
"Don't forget that Christmas
greetings sent first class receive
hotter service and are appre
ciated more," ho said. "If mailed
at the third class rate (li cents,
unsealed) the postoffice depart
ment cannot give the cards di
rectory scrvlco If they are mis
addressed, will not forward than
and will not return them to tho
senders."
Ho said that parcels not mail
ed In tlmu may be caught In the
lastmlnuto Jam and not deliver
ed until after Christmas, thereby
lessening much of the sentiment
which accompanies tho gift.
Parcels mailed early may be
marked "Do Not Open Until
Christmas," he added.
Briefly, some of the postoffice
department's suggestions rules,
perhaps Include:
All parcels must be securely
packed and wrapped. Use strong
paper and heavy twine.
Articles easily broken or
crushed must be securely packed
and crated or boxed. Use lib
eral quantities of excelsior or
like material in, around, and be
tween the articles and the out
side container.
Don't mall Christmas grctitlni
cards In red, green, or other dork
colored envelopes or In very
small envelopes.
No parcel may be more tlmn
100 Inches In length and glrtli
combined nor exceed 70 pounds
In weight.
Wo enn and wo shall estab
lish, an economic floor below
which no American citizen,
whatever his personal mlrnr'
tunes may be, can fall, The ulti
mate success of democracy will
depend upon the maintenance of
such a foundation. Paul V. Mr.
Nutt, Federal Security Admlnls-trator.
