Norfolk and Western was the weak
spot. This stock sold down 31k points
to 10oiS. recovering q point. The SELL
ing was supposed to be Pennsylvania

Christmas presents in the form OF
promotions came to scores of employees

the fortunate clerks. Postmaster Gen

the promotions would add to the Christ

essayed the role of real Santa Claus.
