Anyone having read (and we
seriously hope their numbers
were few our poetic effort
Christmas week, must have sus-
pected that we ,or somebody,
was influenced less by the
Christmas spirit and more by
alcoholic spirits. We can only
hope that you were to engrossed
with your greeting card jingles
to notice how the printer had
jurnbled our effort. It was no
Ralph Young, for we had per-
used his typewriter notes and
found them faultless. Oh, we'll!
Printers must have time to shop
and wrap Christmas packages

ed, Helen, for this much needed
reminder.
Margie Heisler, weary after
the strenuous holidays, labori-
ously huffed and puffed up the
stairs Tuesday, toward Dept. D,
resting and getting her breath
at each landing. Somehow, this
dear half-exhausted lady failed
to recognize the entrance to D
and found herself staring at the
gate on the 4th Floor-lost, yet
saved by her never failing sense
of humor. Will anyone volun-
teer to rub Margie's weary
limbs?

Invited by Thursdays sunny
skies, we strolled about the
yard, noting lilly stalks, snap
dragon and Sweet Williams still
green. Noting also, that the
wind had scattered papers about,
decided to pick them up. Among
these, red Christmas wrapping
with card attached that read:
Little Nell" Whose Little Nell,
! wonder?
Friends of Jean McGuane, our
amible and well-liked nurse,
join me in expressing deepest
sympathy to herself and MEM
bers of the McGuane family in
their sorrow and shock result
ing from the sudden death of
their sister and daughter re-
spectively, Mrs. Mary Ellen
Gray, during her Christmas visit
to the home of Mr.. Gray's par
ents In Akron, Ohio. Mrs. Gray
was the mother of two children,
son, Patrick years and a
daughter Kathleen 21z years.
May the solace which God alone
can supply, comfort and assuage
the grief of this sorrow-stricken
family.
