Settinq for A Christmas Story

above cold just nipped an ear.
In the literature of the nation
there are simple, wholesome sto-
ries about maple sugar gathering
in New England, the rearing of a
fawn in Florida swampland, and
the struggle of prairie sod bust
ers.
Northwestern Montana supplies
about one sixth Of the nations
Christmas trees, apparently with
out being unduly exploited.
Here we have the setting for an
other real American story. 1t will
have the advantages OF the cheer
and tinkle that is part of Christ
mas, and a Santa Claus-like back
ground that is the Flathead with
its mountains that loom up in am
pie snow and evergreen. MR.
