Many, many years ago on

Not a doll,i nor train, nor a

cookies and watched the fairies
string hundreds of cranberries for
our Christmas trees. But all of
that was gone. The tired fairies
were asleep with their bright, little
wings folded over them. Even the
moon outside was DOING in soft
cloud, and the snow fairies had
curled up on the window lodges.

Santa. 'T'm so lonesome I'd ask

FROM DR.. WARREN
Editor, The Citizen:
In your issue of Saturday, De-
cember 2, the report of a part of
the discussion that took place be-
tween Councilman Leo Warren
and myself was inaccurate.
quote from that report:
Councilman Leo Warren asked
DR.: Warren several questions, one
of which was Doctor, was it not
fact that you had endeavored to
secure the position of city auditor
for Jim Roberts, who is relative
of yours, which means that you
We're playing politics the same as
everyone else?'"
My reply to that question was
"That is untrue" / repeat that
answer now-that is untrue.
The facts are as follows: A
certain party, whose name it is UNI
necessary to mention, because he
was not a party to. the controversy,
remarked during a conversation
with rne-"How about Jim Ro-
berts1sending inehis application for
auditor" i took this message
to Jim Roberts, and before ! had
a chance, to say anything, more
to him, he stated that he did not
think that there would be any
money collected by the city with
which to pay salaries, for many
months to come, that he was very
friendly with the present auditor
and did not care to send in his ap-
plication.
/ did not ask Mr.. Roberts to
send in his application, and made
no effort to secure the position
for him.
The minutes of the first meeting
of the recently elected council
will show that | made the motion
to. elect Mr.. Willard Albury city
auditor by unanimous vote, and !

dicates my confidence in Mr..

LONDON, November 9-The Ameri-

S5.074 to the pound in late dealings
after the foreign exchange market had
closed today. The close was S5.023s.
Today was the first time since the

There had been some idea that when
the old parity rate of S4.8623 was
reached there would be a psychological
halt, but the pressure of the American
policy has been too strong and even
the SIS figure proved no barrier to the
downward trend.

NEW YORK, November e.-The rate
Of decline in steel production has been
retarded but no early recovery is in
