Good Evening.
NO PARKING

The shades of night falling fast, The days of curb parking, alas, are past. A man has got to look for place To park his car or he's in disgrace No longer can he park at will In front of others property on the brow of hii He's got to find lot or yard, And believe you me he's finding 1t hard. He owns car but not garage, He's trying to get by without a cover charge. Year in year out, in snow and wet He's ignored signs saying garage to let Now of a sudden he's caught, sunk His street parking is and he's in a funk. He must look about for a vacant space, In lot, driveway, or any place. He's under the eye of the cop on the beat, And he's got to get his car off the street. As evening falls and night closes in, That's when his parking troubles begin.

Camp Fire Girls
Slip Ptaydlnss
To British Taes

The Asinahsi group of Camp
Fire Girls shipped 40 little stuffed
animals on Wednesday of last
week to the British Relief Society
in New York City. These toys
will be tucked into the space al
lotted to them on . ship sailing
for Crest Britain December 10
90 that they will be there for
Christmas. So many little chill
dren. whose homes were bombed
and their toys destroyed, are
without any playthings. Their
parents are unable to buy n y
more for them. During bomb
inRs these little children have
been given rocks. rags and sticks
to hold for comfort.
The Camp Fire Girls wanted to
help. Patterns were secured
from the New York Herald Fri.
bune. The animals had to be
small so that they would pack IL
per cubic foot of space. Til e
patterns were espe cially designed
for close packing. The material
used for the animals were bits of
percale, cambria and bingham
salvaged from the Sherburne fire
last spring. The cotton used for
stuffing then was purchased with
some of the money raised from
selling the grease the Camp Fire
! Girls have collected.
The girls wish to thank Mrs.
Don Schmidt. Mrs. Wilcox. Mrs.
Steele. Mrs. Beck. Mrs. James
Johnston. Mrs. Toliver. and
Wayne Goss for their help max
ing this shipment possible. 40
little British youngsters will be
made happier Christmas morn
ing by their efforts.
This toy project will continue
after Christmas in q n endless
march of horses. elephants. dogs
and Dummies from Browning
to Great Britain.
