At this time of the year, some folks tend to forget about the “store on the corner” when they un dertake their Christmas shop ping. Local stores carry a wide variety of items, at competi tive prices. Many items found in out-of-town stores may be located here at home, often for less. We never forget the mer chants “on the corner” when a charity drive is in progress so this year let’s remember them when we do our seasonal shopping. Besides, money spent at home stays at home—where it does the most good. Do Your Xmas Trading at Home! Newberry Stores have good Offerings “I was supposbed to have met my husband here two hours ago,” the pretty young matron confided to a posser-by. ‘‘Have you seen him ?” “Possibly. Anything distinctive about him?” “Yes, I imagine he’s purple by this time.” Not a Penny Lost...

LATHROP -.Mr “I decided to have me a day,” mom said. “You kids pick up your toys and make a path to the breakfast table,” she yelled, “and quit shrieking that siren We all have headaches this morning.” We were all at the table at last, though nobody wanted any break fast—we’d eaten too much turkey yesterday, besides all the Christ mas candy and stuff. Getting Ready Mom said, “Now if all will pile what they want exchanged on the hall table, I’ll make my usual pilgrimage to town with it.” Big Pile When Mom came down dressed to go, she hit the ceiling because that’s how high the stack of ex change stuff was on the hall table. “I declare—another year I’m going to do something about Christmas,” she declared. Yet we didn’t pay much attention for she says that every year. But she laid ;he law down before she left, “You kids take some of your junk to the basement and stop squirting that fire-hose and car-washing thing on my carpeting. I swear I think I’ll just never come back—this house is such a shambles!” Still we didn’t think she meant it until lunch time came and she didn’t show up. Gram fixed us some cold turkey sandwiches and looked worried, but we went out to play with our new sleds and didn’t think any more about it till supper time when we came in. “Where’s Mom?” we shouted. Gram was pacing the floor. “That’s what I’d like to know.” And when Pop and Polly came in, it was the same thing. “You mean she hasn’t come home from town all day?” Pop bellowed. And Toddy began to whimper. It was getting dark out side and she’s never stayed away this late before. “Maybe there’s been an ac cident,” Polly hinted. If SHE was worried about anything but that sappy boyfriend of hers, it must be bad! Return “You kids clean up this house— anything may happen,” Polly or dered. Supper was over and Gram was rattling the dishes in the kitchen when the taxi drew up. Mom stepped out in a brand new hat and coat and came sauntering in—not a package in her hands! “What happened to you? Where’s our stuff?” we all yelled. Mom just smiled like a sphinx. She looked real different some how. “I turned everything in and they’ll deliver them tomorrow. I just decided to have me a day— a Christmas present to myself, you might say. I’ve let myself go all fall getting ready for Christ mas for everybody else, so I had a facial and a shampoo and the works. I got a new dress and hat instead of that expensive lounging set Dad gave me—I don’t lounge, and I hope you don’t mind. Dave And I went to lunch and a movie and I’ve had a wonderful day I hope you have ’’ Toddy went and put an arm around her then. “I’m gir^ri >ou had yourself a nice Christmas the clay after. Mommy.” he said. And then .we all laughed like old times again. With history piling up so fast, any day now seems to be the first annivarsary of something awful. Our days are like identical suit cases—all the same size, but some people can pack more into them than others. t’T'WAS the day after Christmas and all through the house—it was Bedlam. Mom had to thread her way through a maze of elec tric trains, rockets and space ships on the living-room floor to get to the kitchen, and she was mumbling out there about ‘this new toaster that doesn’t work as well as the old one.’ Pop was grumbling about which one of those atrocious ties he’d have to wear to the office, and my big sister Polly was yelling, “You’ll just have to take it back, Mother-r-r. It doesn’t fit at all!” Toddy and I had got up early to play with our new stuff and Todd had already broken three plastic car-couplers trying to hitch them onto his new fire-truck, and I had run down !he batteries in my new speed-boat. “Mom, would you get me some batteries when you go to town this morning?” I coaxed, and she nearly threw the toast at me.
