Here There Everywhere
Another skirmish m the Battle
of the Waistline Beige has been
fought out. Thaafagir;og is over,
and we look forward to one hurdle
in these v»ver-indtdged sprees be
fore we settle down to a normal
way of life following Christmas.
If there were many mote of these
"gorging” days, we could soon
qualify for a job as Santa Claus—
without benefit of pillows.
We’ve just decided we don
want to be a Santa Claus—a pri
fessional one that is. There i
much more to being a Santa Clau
than having a red coat and som
white whiskers. There are a]
sorts of ethical dos and don'ts tha
any self respecting Santa mus
learn in order to do his job prop
erly. Every year around Thank:

” the tenets a good Santa must re

s clean (don’t like whiskers). Be pa

Don't drink, eat garlic or onions
(we love garlic and onions). Don't
smoke or eat on duty. And never
lean on your chimney (how is one
to take a load off his feet?)
The Kodarian, weekly bulletin
published by the,, Rotary ..wClob., <
came up with a slip that didn’t
pass in the night or the daytime
either. Describing the Rotary I
sponsored Thanksgiving dinner at !
the USO for servicemen, the bul'e- !
tin came up with this: “Jess did

! We see by a news item to be
found elsewhere, the grand
mothers are going to “whoop” it
up again this Christinas. Th:ty are
going to entertain the grandfathers
at a Christmas party in December.
It seems the “bloom of youth”
never leaves the cheeks of these
vitality-filled ladies, who in most
cases can match their teen-age
grand-daughters on the dance floor
and especially in the kitchen.
Gone are the days when “grand
mother” brought to mind a little
old white-haired lady sitting in a
rocker, knittin'.
How lucky can you grandfathers
get—being wined and dined by
these so-called oldsters—these
Jadies Who are young at heart?
Their perpetual youth is fed from
the mainsprings of youth itself—
people. They have found their
Fountain of Youth—interest in
their children and grandchildren.
You old boys had better take your
vitamin pills to keep up with
them.

Here’s whats in store for you, as
regards weather, according to
Fleet Weather Central, during the
month of December: There will
be an average of 15.4 days with
precipitation of .01 inch or more;
at no time will the temperature go
above 70 degrees; there will be
10.8 days with a maximum temp
erature of 32 degrees and below;
24.8 days with a minimum of 32
and below. But here’s cheer: At no
time will the minimum tempera
ture go 0 degrees or below.
Here's one for the books: One of
the town's happy-go-lucky and im
provident individuals, noted for
frequenting the local bistros sans
the coin of the realm in his pocket
(in other words, broke), sat on a
stool in one of these places, pull
ed out his wallet, and laid it on
the counter. The corner of a $20
bill was just visible. Glancing at
this the bartender asked him if he
would like a drink. He replied,
“yes.” Eyeing the $20 bill, the dis
penser of well-known beverages
asked him, “How about the fellow
next to you?” “If he wants one,"
was the reply. “You can give the
whole house a drink if you want
to," he said. The counterman did
Just that. Returning, he said, “You
owe me so much.” “But I haven’t
any money,” was the reply. I he
bartender snatched, the, visible por
tion of the $20 bill from the bill

was just that, a small segment of
> bill—not even enough to use as
a medium of exchange. The point
jf the whole story is that the cus
tomer had not ordered a drink ia
the first place.
