And Santa, who has lived through many wars, is going to see to it that his little friends get them Because of war priorities, metal | and mechanical toys will be practi- cally unobtainable.

It is not exactly a puzzle, but what you make from it can be puzzling to those who behold it. This game consists of various pieces of colored and oddly shaped cardboard. By using the various, oddly cut pieces you can make a realistic looking lion, or house, or giraffe or even a zoo house to keep the “‘an-i-mules” in good condition. The real fun comes in on this game when you take the head of a | | baboon and put it on a giraffe’s neck which is attached to an elephant's | body with dog legs! To solve the milk delivery problem you can put horse legs on the body of a cow. Another interesting game—a con- DISILLUSIONED SANTA TALKS OF LAST APPEARANCE PHILADELPHIA, Pa—"I'm tired now. In fact, every year around this time I'm very tired.” That is what Santa Claus (a professional one though, for the real one doesn’t ever get tired) had to say recently as he was taking off his red and white suit, preparatory home. As he pulled off his white whis- he continued: ,“Be- sides, this business of being a jolly old fellow is highly seasonal work. Just a couple of weeks' work in | December, then something over 11| months’ vacation. It is a good thing I am an electrician. I'd possibly starve to death.” (The kids should have heard such heresy!) A few seconds followed while he put on his dark green knit tie be- fore he continued his slightly weary talk: “It was all right at first and the pay was good—$4 for a party appearance or a club or a lodge. Or $2 for a private home call. But T guess I can't take it any more. Anyhow, he kids won't miss me. (Imagine that, the kids not miss- ing Santa Claus!) Comes next year there will be ex-Santa who isn't, filling , and putting presents un- r trees, or telling pop to take it easy with son's electric train. That retired Santa will be just sit- g in his own home—not, defin- 1y ing to the Christmas carols on the radio, and wiggling his toes. For his shoes will be off. s (S Xy CHRISTMAS CARDS ARE PERSONALIZED THROUGH PICTURES Photographic Christmas greeting cards have been gaining in popu- larity during the past few years. The possibilities are widespread as far as the kind or type you would wish to send. There can be group pictures, individual pictures, humorous ones, big and small types. Even the greeting itself can be included with the picture of the | person or persons through the use i itely not, at the North Pole—listen- | TO ALL From the entire staff of George Brothers Super Market: Super Market Salmon Creek Greenhouse, Gardens and Dairy orge Brothers” GEORGE BROTHERS |of & large printed card.
