He lives at the north pole, so I’ve heard people say, And we live at the south pole—that’s a mighty long way. Here the sun shines all day and all night But we kept on hoping ... he may ... he might. Then out on the ice there arose such a roar, I tripped on the trash can and sprawled on the floor. Busted my elbow, twisted my knee— But I kept right on going; I just had to see. And there on the strip was a monstrous jet— Old Santa had made it with his reindeer, yet. Producing a handkerchief from out of his clothes, He blew long and loud on his little red nose. He was three-quarters chubby with a little round gut And long hairy whiskers—an odd looking “nut.” He’d had a long journey; we knew he was beat. He said, “Man, I’m sure hungry; what y’awl got to eat?” We got skua gull livers and penguin pies, Fried seal blubber and chocolate-coated fish eyes, Corn bread, collards and navy beans, Fried 'taters and ’lasses and turnip greens. “That sounds delicious,” Old Santa Claus said. “With that kind of groceries, I’m royally fed. It’s like coming from a desert to a field of clover— To heck with them young kids, I’ll just winter over.” Daring Seaman io Tell Experiences Al Feb. 5 Knife and Fork ♦ Club Meet Mr. and Mrs. Lionel Furman, « missionaries to the Belgian Con go, will appear at 8 o’clock this evening at the Nyssa Assembly of God church, Second street and Reece avenue.

Earns Boat When 6 Years Old He is a son of one of England’s leading industrialists and started his sea career at the age of two lying in a coil of rope aboard his father’s yacht. Promised a sail boat of his own as soon as he could swim the Thames fully clothed, Ellam did this when only six years old. At 16 he was presented his first yacht and, except for the four years he served with the Royal Artillery during World War II and a short trip he took to the Arctic for diversion, he has been a devotee of the sea and small sailing craft Ellam’s trip across the Atlan tic—in company with a partner— took just one year.
