eaten half through. We laid them all
out and then went to bed.
In the morning Bill called me early

all right but the pants were somewhat

the boots. They were so tight that the
corn on my little toe sent pains 10 my
brain every step But the coat-that
was the real problem 1t had either
shrunk or my waistline had acquired
several inches in girth. finally got
into the coat and every time we got

got them sewed on with string and the
belt on. With the bag of toys on my
shoulder | went in and took my posi-
ton in front of the fireplace, when
Bill went in and woke up Peg and told
her that there was noise in the front
room that was probably Santa Claus.
There was a swish and a bang of the
door and there was Peg with big eyes
and open mouth.
Hello, Peggy called "How are
you this fine Christmas morning.
%. X" she said, ARE all those toys
mine
Yes, all for you, Peg I left all the
others on the sleigh Isn't Santa nice
to bring you all those things?'
"Aw, | saw that doll in mothers
dresser"
"HO HO! HO! that's a joke"
laughed, trying to change the subject.
Now look at this little dashboard and
tub that you can really wash your
dolls clothes in, and this real electric
iron that gets hot by itself. Now we'll
sing carol and I'll be on my way.
I've got a long way to go yet and

Wait, Santa said the little girl,

But didn't your clothes burn?'
asked Peg.
Bill fastened TO explain, Santa has

Sure, Bills right said but the
odds were against me for that cute
little daughter had set the fringe of

heard Bill say,
You've set Santa on fire rolled
in the snow awhile and then climbed
the ladder to my room. Off with the
burnt whiskers and coat and into my
clothes. went down the stairs and
said, Merry Christmas, folks, why it
looks as if Santa had been here. Peg

MILLIONTH CAR TO BE GIFT TO
OWNER OF OLDEST CHEVROLET

| Chevrolet's one millionth car of 1885
production is to be presented to The
owner of the Oldest Chevrolet licensed
and in regular use in the United States,
and the cooperation of Americas lead
ing newspapers and every one of the
10000 Chevrolet dealers has been en-
listed to discover this car and its
owner, it was announced today by K.
M Chase, Pacific regional manager
The one millionth Chevrolet built
with the current year came off he
assembly line at Flint Michigan, on
December IL, just eight days after
Chevrolet produced its eleventh mill
lionth car since the beginning of The
company.
Presentation Of the millionth car of
the year-a 1886 Standard coach-will
be made to the owner whose Chevrolet
is discovered, between Dec. 16 ana mid
night Jan. Is, to be the oldest model
licensed and in regular service.
1t is specified that, to win, the old
timer Chevrolet must have been reg
ularly licensed for operation during
the current year, possessing its own
1885 license tags issued before De-
cember l. 1t must, also, have been
licensed as a passenger car, and be
equipped with complete passenger
car body. 1t must bear the original
engine and chassis numbers, 1egible
and unaltered
To enter a Chevrolet for considera
ton, the owner need only drive it to
any Chevrolet dealers salesroom and
submit it for examination, receiving a
blank on which he will report the en-
CINE and chassis numbers of the car to
the Chevrolet Motor Company at De-
troit, where the company's records will
determine which is the very oldest in
service.
w E. Holler, vice president and gen.
eral sales manager. in notifying K. M
Chase of the search for the oldest car,
said that the presentation Is intended
as New Years gift as a reward for
the driver whose good care and MAIN
tenance has enabled the very oldest
Chevrolet to survive after many years
of operation,
Chevrolet is happy to present this
1886 model said Mr.. Holler, because
it feels that some recognition is due the
owners of Chevrolets. Our achieve
ment of production totalling well over
million cars during the current year
is to be credited largely to motorists
who began purchasing Chevrolets years
ago and have placed many repeat orders
since then.
81 wish that I could have the thrill
that is in store for the owner whose
early Chevrolet-a car maybe Is or Is
years old-will be supplanted by 1886
model
Although the presentation will be
made as a New Years gift, the-1iYe for
submitting cars for consideration has
been extended, to include Jan. Is, be-
cause of the. short period between
Dec. IL, the birthday of the millionth
car of the year, and the first of the
wear. Announcement of the award
will be made on or about January o.
as soon as the records can be carefully
studied to determine exactly who has
the oldest Chevrolet in active service.
