A Little This and a Little That

Live Christmas Present

By Murray Little
Dear Aunt
Bess: Hope you
had a nice Christ-
= mas! I had the
« whole week off,
* and it was some-
thing special. The
snow came just in time to
whiten things up. Barbara ar-
rived on Dee. 22.

Jesse Christopher, aged
four, came home with his
Daddy, and was our nicest
Christmas present. The nicest
for me since my own dad gave
me Northland skis umpteen
years ago. The nicest for June
since her dad gave her a
Raggedy-Anne doll.

Then J.C.'s daddy had to
go to Vancouver on business
and we had the boy all to our-
selves. Gulp!

But grandparents are
people too, and they respond!
Not so hard, really, with a four-
year-old boy that has large
brown eyes that ‘melt your
heart and who laughs a lot. . .
and is nice and snuggly.

He also likes to bite dogs’
tails if you aren't watching, as
Billy found -out. But you can
easily divert him with drawing
paper because JC really likes to
doodle.

His favorite subject is °

“monsters”. Usually the mon-
ster is shown just after eating a
man. The man is cuddled up in
the dragon’s tummy and evi-
dently just resting comfortably.

You have to get your sleep
when JC is around, so you find
yourself falling exhausted into
bed about 9 p.m. when JC him-
self has been put away for the

much point in hanging
Christmas Stock! So

surely regret it just after dawn
when he wakes up and gets
joyous right away. The best
you can do then is to smuggle
him into your own bed and tell
him stories—z2zz7—the best you
can.
His favorite toy was a

joints that would twist without
breaking. Next best was three

Tomorrow his Daddy .is

for a little while we had him, we

New Denver Uses Arena Errors in Newspapers?

Years of work by New

skating after a five-year
