Twas the night before Christ­
mas and there in his chair,
father was moaning and tear­
ing his hair
While upstairs in bed, all still
and asleep,
the children knew not what
made poor daddy weep
The bills had been paid, the gifts
had been bought
and all was well with the
world, dad had thought.
He’d gone to the car, put the toys
on the seat
and then to the market for
good things to eat
He returned to the car, and what
did he find?
Sonic thief in the night had stolen
him blind
Unfortunately, there are other
people besides Santa Clause
tiptoeing around during the
Christmas season carrying gifts
Where Santa Claus creeps down
chimneys with bags of delights
for the kiddies, the sneak thief
creeps through darkened park
lob to
' steal
‘ 1 " bundles * from
■-----
mg Jots
cars of unsuspecting shoppers
With a few pointers from the
Insurance Information Institute,
however, it may be possible to
thwart the thieves and save your
presents for Santa's bundle
When you are out shopping and
find it necessary to leave the car
unattended with gifts inside,
always lock your purchases in
the trunk Not only does this
provide greater security, but
also by taking the packages out
of sight any temptation for
thieves is effectively removed
Even with the packages safely
locked away, always lock your
car doors and take your keys
with you. the Institute cautions
The only thing worse that losing
all vour Christmas gifts is losing
your entire car
When possible, park your car
in brightly lit, well-traveled
areas Thieves don’t like work­
ing where they can be seen.
The use of holly as a decora
lion at Christmas time can be
traced back to antiquity and
many believe that the name is
derived from the word “ holy.”
In Germany there is the legend
that this thorn was used for the
crucifixion crown.

MYSTERY SANTA CONTEST
First Weeks Clues
An Oregon boy, born and bred
He came her with his mom and
dad
In time to finish VHS
The school he still likes the
best
He learned his trade while very
small
And enjoys it now that he’s
grown tall
A friendly man you would say
Always glad to pass the time of
day
A married man of that I'm sure
A ride with him will bring a
cure
Now 1 must halt; not another
clue
I ’ll leave the guessing up to
you
