no, pay that house 4 visit. 81 & - up
IL the litlln folks in Wheeling n get
busy and 500 TINT the flag is there.
Everybody in TINT mysterious land
from whence comes the old gentleman
with his wonderful load OF gifts for ALL
is n patriot. and If !nu happen TO DO
awake tonight when your home IS Wis
itod you will notice that Santa himself
IL wearing the national cnlurS. The
thoughts Of all must wander tonight to
the environments and tho army camps
In France. where Thousands OF American
boys nre lying. thinking OF home and
their loved ones. Perhaps spending
their first Christmas alone. That
American flag on your tree will be a
