The

One Week to Go
At the Post Office
By JACK JONAS

The Post Office is getting its
share of the Christmas trade.
Those who come in know
what they want, too They
don't need a list. and there's
no shopping around.
Like the boy who stood not
quite patiently in the line the
other day in front of one Of
the stamp windows. He shifted
from one foot to the other,
and sighed occasionally as the
line crawled slowly toward the
window.
Finally he was there. But
the clerk looked right over
his head at the lady standing
next in line and asked her
what she wanted.
"Hey, mister, I'm next!"
The clerk looked down to-
ward the source of this voice
from nowhere, and sure
enough, there was a pair of
small hands gripping the
counter in front of his window.
It's difficult to see a customer
when he doesn't quite come
up to the counter. And this
one was far short of making it.
Il want one of them stamps
with a pretty picture on it."
the boy said. The clerk, OBJ
viously a def hand at inter-
preting the wants of CUSTOM
ers, found a three-cent COM
memorative stamp, passed it
along and took in the three
pennies, and the boy went
away.
