UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE :
FROZEN APPLE

"Whee-e-el Whew oo-oo. Zooee-

Jack Frost was dancing on the
tips of his silvery toes and whistl-
ing through his teeth.
"What shall T freeze next -
howled Jack Frost. For he was a
cold little elf, making ice and snow
in readiness for winter. He had
frozen the duck pond and put a thin
covering of ice over the brook. Now
he looked for something else. to
make hard and cold.
On a tree. not far from Uncle
Wiggily's hollow stump bungalow,
hung one, lone apple. All the other
apples had been gathered by the
farmer, and such apples as the farm
er had not picked up were taken
into their snug nests by the squir-
eels, rabbits, mice, guiena pigs and
other creatures of the woods. But
this one apple was left on the tree.
"Ha. Ho." howled Jack Frost.
"I'n freeze that applet
And he did. Blowing his cold
breath on it. he shriyeled the skin
of the red checked apple and the
inside and outside of it was made
as hard as a stone with the icy
breath of the little elf.
"Ha, Hal laughed Jack Frost
"That was fun! Now I'll go farther

: Popping the frozen apple snto
his pocket, Uncle Wiggily hopped
along through the woods until, all of
sudden he heard noise behind
him and, looking, saw the Woozie
Wolf running after him.
---v~"Oh dear!" sighed the rabbit
gentleman. "If l had some sticky
molosses to dribble on the dried
leaves to stop the Wolf l would be
glad!' But alasl Uncle Wiggily
had no molasses. So he started to
sun and the Wolf ran after him. AS
he hopped along the bunny felt the
hard, frozen apple in his pocket
humping against him.
"Ha! I'll throw that apple at

"If l am lucky enough to hit him
on the nose it may stop him!"
Pausing moment, Uncle Wig
gily took out the apple and, as the
Wolf come running up the bunny
uncle threw the hard, frozen fruit
at the bad chap.
''Ha! 1 am very lucky!' cried
Uncle Wiggily as the apple hit the
Wolf on the nose, making tears
come into his eyes.
"Wow. Scowzie.' howled the
Wolf, and because of the tears he
could not see to chase the rabbit.
The frozen apple bounced off the
Wolf's nose, right back into Uncle
Wiggily's paws. SO the bunny put
the apple into his pocket again, and
said.

PROPOSES
PLAYGROUND
FOR NORTHFIELD
Continued from page y

streets, it is no longer possible for
children to play there. Neither is
it wise for children TO go any great
distances to the outskirts of the
city to play on vacant lots for the
same reason that they encounter
heavy traffic going and coming.
There should be a site selected
for a playground in the First Ward
of Northfeld and another site for
another playground in the Second
Ward.
These sites may be obtained to-
day at the lowest prices that the
people of the City of Mortified will
see. 1t is impossible to predict
what will be the value of these
site a few years hence, but We
know that they will be worth sew
eraI times the price at which they
can be purchased at this time.
I'VE have only to refer to the
price which the City of Atlantic
City paid for the Airport. Some
people said that the late Mayor
Bader and former Mayor Riddle
were out of their minds when this
purchase was proposed and carried
out, but it is very certain that the
land of the Airport is today worth
many, many times what it cost the
City of Atlantic City.
THE same is true in the City of
Mortified. Fairgrounds mean ev-
erything to children. Equip them
with swings, slides and all kinds
of exercising things practical for
children and you will not only have
happy children, but you will have
happy homes. Naturally, there
should be someone TO look after the
Fairgrounds and supervise the play
of the children, but it will return
great benefits and profits on the in
vestment and cost OF supervision.
