Stuckey will say about the account
of our visit to Santa Claus!
If I have told any tales out of

Did you ever hear of a place called
Santa Claus? There is such a place;
I’ve been there, and a delightful
place it is. Where is Santa Claus?
No wthat calls for an explanation.
As the great Shakespeare would say,
“And thereby hangs a tale.”
Once upon a time—well that is the
old way to tell a story. Let’s modern
ize it with an abrupt beginning,
something straight from the shoulder.
Four of us started out for the Mardi
Gras ih New Orleans, and the vast
expanse called Texas and various
other points West, with Los Angeles
as the destination. As The Book tells
of Abraham’s journey: “Abraham set
out for the land of Canaan; and into
the land of Canaan he came.” And
we came into Los Angeles.
There is a lot of territory .between
here and Los Angeles, far more than
the States of Georgia, Alabam, Mis
sissippi, Louisiana, and Texas. True
it is that we began to think that we
should never get out of Texas. In
some measure that was our fault, for
we wandered a bit, going far afield,
even to El Paso and two or three
times into Mexico. Then we headed
for The Grand Canyon, the Hoover
Dam and Las Vegas, Nevada. But
it was while moving toward the
Hoover Damn that we thought a wee
bite or a cup of toup might be in
order. We went to a Drug Store in
Kingman, Arizona, and asked for
soup and crackers. A lady cleft ask
ed why we didn't go to Santa Claus
and get a sandwich. Now don't get
the wrong impression: that young
lady was not saying that in the spirit
of one who tells you -to go to the
place where the fires are never
quenched, nor even banked; she was
just being kind and helpful. So we
set out across the Arizona Desert
for Santa Claus—fifteen miles away,
and on the paved road which goes
to the Hoover Dam. That paved
streak lies on the broad sandy wastes.
Now what is Santa Claa? It is a
delightful little tea house in the des-
ert-sunply that and nothing more.
But what a tea-house!
My friend George Brutsch and 1
are close friends, both close, but we
could not get a sandwich; there were
no sandwiches; all that Santa Claus
I serves Is a real meal, a very real
i meal; such a meal as we close friends
did not expect or wish But you will
find no more delicious food anywhere
then at Santa Claus. And the serv-
.ng is abundant. All about one sees
magnificent cakes, heartwarming
pie*, though he may be already so far
beyond the limit of capacity as not
to revel in the sight of all those de
tectable dishes.
When I was already beyond all
discretion the managing lady called
to her assistant—just those two—and
told her to bring me a piece of the
chocolate cake I had been grazing
at in a sort of rapture. But, though
the spirit was indeed willing the flesh
was already overcrowded. My friend
Brutsch was a bit peeved about this
cake experience and scolded me for
not taking it for him. So, when we
came to Santa Claus a second time
we close friends were prepared in
mind, body and spirit, for all and
sundry, ;xm understand. George had
cut down his meals for several days
to six eggs or four pieces of ham at
a serving T norder to do justice to
the expected lunch at Santa Claus.
Even so, he miscalculated; for at our
second lunch I told the lady about
George and the chocolate cake and
she forthwith placed before George
a vrtiole slab or segment of cake, this
being in addition to all that was serv
ed in regular order. Poor George! He
looked at the cake with dreamy ex
pression but he had taken on all the
cargo the ship could carry and all
this added would have sunk, the boat.
in view of all that Santa Claus
food—food, mind you,, my mind is
not clear about the time of some vis
its. But we did spend a night in
Jackson, California, and there my
comrade Brutsch who likes ham, gave
such an order that he caused the
waitress to think of a man who had
been there that morning and order
ed twenty one cup* of coffee, six
plates of hot cakes, and six orders of
sausage and eggs. What really im
pressed u« in the Jackson Coffee Shop
<was this: A man and a woman had
breakfast together and the woman
picked up the check and walked ov
er to the cashier and paid it.
Judge Phillip H. Stoll of Kmgsitree
and I rest under the same charge.
The Jdge who was not only a clear-
minded jurist, but a very agreeable
speaker, made an enjoyable informal
talk one night. Someone wishing to
express appreciation of the Judge’s
pleasant remarks, said “Judge, I de
clare you can make the beet speech
about nothing.” Tint Judge who hect
ors me with his friendship told me
of the incident and we had a hearty
laugh over it. One .day in the Bus
Station in Columbia I saw the Judge
sitting with our friend George Stuck
ey of Bishopville and walked over
to speak to them. Upon my approach
ing, Mr. Stuckey, with the charming
courtesy always characteristic of him,
took a step or two toward me and
said “I read your stuff in the County
paper and I declare you write the
most interesting articles about noth
ing.” And there sat Judge Stoll
laughing at me in high glee.
1 wonder what the Judge and Mr.
The Columbia Record of Decem
ber llth, has this to say, in part:
“How much the dollar is worth
today in comparison with the dollar
of the past depends on who is spend
ing it. The dollar is wos(th more,
comparatively, for the farm family
that produces most or much of its
own food than for the city family
that has to bu> all, or almost all, of
the food it consumers. Food prices
have xisen more than other prices.
The dollar today is worth more also
for the family that‘owns its own
home than the family that has to pay
i'ent—but only if na repairs on the
dwelling are involved. Rents in larg*
cities have risen on the average about
20 per cent since 1939.
It depends also oh what you are
buying. For food in general the dol
lar is worth a little less than 45 cents
of the 1939 dollar and for meats of
all kinds only 38 cents. When you
buy clothing and other wearing ap
parel your dollar is worth 52 cents
of the '39 dollar, 50 cents of the ’39
dollar when you buy house furnish
ings, 47 and one-half cents when you
buy coal, heating oil or other fuels.
But the dollar on October 15 with
worth a dollar and two and a half
cents in terms of the 1939 dollar
when you paid your electricity and
gas bills.
For persons of fixed income—from
annuity or a trust fund mostly in
gilt edge bonds for instance—the
average dollar income has decreased
as prices have risen. Saving has been
demonstrated to be an error and not
a virtue. For factory workers as a
whole, also for coal miners, average
weekly earnings have more than
doubled, however, since 1939 and
their “real” wages, measured in
terms of purchasing power, are up
about one-third. Yet organized la
bor is demanding still further wage
increase before wage-price controls
are imposed.
The result will be more Inflation
as consumer goods production de
clines”
One may dissent mildly from one
sentence: “Saving has been demon
strated to be an error and not a vir
tue.” Perhape my very alert and cap
able friend might be able to prove
that statement to profeaaional econ
omists, but he isn’t wnting to them.
Theoretically one might have bought
many substantial things at one dol
lar a year ago which would cost 31 30
today. In the reakn of speculative, or
theoretical Economics, to spend all,
to invest all, even to borrow heavily,
would be argued for a Rail Road or
other great Corporation, but not for
an individual. The individual is al
ways better off’ with something In
the bank, regardless of the rising
t rices. When you need a dollar you
don't want to seel your shoes and
ihjrts.
