Stevie Hobson lives.. in a big grey house on East street acid one morning last Summer, when he took his wagon. out to play, he saw something Shilling in the grass, He picked it, up 'and ran into the house, shouting ,"Mummy, Mummy-Took what I'Ve found' in the graseme piece of tinsel," "It looks like tinsel," said Mrs. Hobson, "but see how it shines all different colors, I've never seen tinsel like this before. I think you had better put it in a safe plaice for now and then show it tct daddy when he comes home to- night,' When Mr. Hobson came home Stevie ran and got the piece of tinsel. "Look Daddie, look what i found in the grass. A piece, of colored tinsel." Mr. Hobson looked at the piece oftinsel in Stevie's hand and then he said, "you know, Stevie, I don't think - this IS tinsel." "Well, if let's not Christmas tin- sel," said' Stevie, "what is it? It's so pretty and shiny. „I'm sure it must belong. on a Christmas tree —only Christmas is such a long I way away." Mr. Hobson laughed, "Yes, is is Stevie, and that's why I don't think this can 'be tinsel. I think it's something they drop from. air- •planes. Tell you what, Stevie, in- stead of going down to the beach tonight,' why • don't we drive out to the Air Station and show this to the 'Commanding Officer?" "Oh yes,". said Stevie, "Can I show it to him 'myself, because I found it?" "I think you can," .his. father laughed. Off To Station That night, as :seen as SuppOT was over, Stevie and his father, got'into the car and drove out to, the station. When they got there, Mr. Hobson asked to see the Com- manding Offider and very soon an airMan showed them into a bright office where the Commanding Of- ficer sat behind a big polished. desk. Stevie had never seen, a Commanding Officer before and he felt very shy, hitt when his father, had explained about the tinsel he walked right up to the big desk and put the piece of tin- sel down very carefully. The Commanding Officer looked at it for a long long_ time. When he said, "It was very kind eof you to ,bring, this all the way out here Stevie', but it doesn't belong to us. Someone else must have drop- ped it. Our tinsel is just plain silver, but this shines all different colors:" Stevie said, "41,1t, if it doesn't belong to you, it must belong to somebody sir," The Commanding Officer smiled, "It's only a very small piece of tinsel, Stevie. If nobody asks about it, you could put it away until Christmas and then put it on your tree. Stevie picked the tinsel up and Put it in his pocket. On the ride home, he was very quiet, and then, just as they' were driving along the highway said, "Dad- dy, if you wanted to let people know that you had found some- thing, what would you• do?" "Why, I'd put an 'ad' in, the News-Record, son, and maybe the person who 'lost the something would see• the ad." "Well then, that's just what I'll do," said Stevie. "I'll put an ad in the News-Record tomorrow," "It costs money to place •an ad son, and this is only a little piece of tinsel." - "I've got money, Daddy, that I've seved—and somebody must have lot the tinsel, I'lle bet they'd like, it back again." Advertises ..The next morning, -Stevie took all the money out of his piggy 'bank and went to the News-Rece ord office. He explained to the lady behind the high counter that he wanted to tell 'people that he had found a piece of tinsel. She wrote on a piece of. paper, "FOUND, by Stevie Hobsan". / on East street, a piece 'of- shiny colored tinsel." "That-Will cost 50c Stevie," she said, and Stevie counted out fifty cents from his piggy bank money. When the paper came out , on Thursday, Stevie looked to' see if his ad had' been printed, and sure enough, there it was, right on, page e7 under "Lost and Found." Stevie waited all day to see if anyone would come and claim the piece of tinsel, but although he stayed right by the front door no- body came. "Never mind," said Mrs. Hobson when Stevie went upstairs to bed, "Perhaps the owner of the tinsel hasn't seen the, paper yet. You just go to sleep and, don't worry about it." Stevie lay back on his pillow, but he couldn't sleep. He watched the stars come out one by one, and then he watched the moon rise over the trees. Stevie looked at the moon, and then he gasped and looked again. In front cif the moon, round and eilver like a dime, there was a tiny shadow, and Stevie had to 'pinch himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming. The tiny shadow grew bigger and a moonbeam. The sleigh grew biggger and Stevie could see a lit- tle man •with a funny pointed hat and a long white beard sitting in. front and he could even hear the little silver bells that arched over the heads of the reindeer, The moonbeam ended on Stevie's win- dow sill and the sleigh stopped right outside the window. The little man touched his poin- ted hat and said in a deep.boom- ing voice, "Are you 'the Stevie Hob- son who foundea piece of colored tinsel on East Street?" "Yes," said Stevie. "Here it is," and he picked it up off the table beside his bed, "Oh thank goodness for that," roared the little ,men, “We've read every ad in every paper in the world ever since we lost It and we only found YOUR ad to- night," "But, who are you?" gasped Stevie, looking first at the little man - and then at the six dainty reindeer. Gingersnap "Oh Snowflakes and Christmas Trees," the little man boomed. "Wouldn't you know I'd' forget to tell you that? I'm Gingersnap and I drive Santa's sleigh when he puts the presents' in all the stock- ings Christmas, This ' very sleigh• and these very reindeer.', "Oh," Stevie could hardly be- lieve his ears. "But the tinsel, . ." "Oh yes, the tinsel," Ginger- snap stroked his long white 'beard for a moment, "Well, you see it was like this. We had a branch office at the South Pole, been there for years, but we just 'learn- ed that the Canadian. Government is sending a scientific expedition down there to map all the South. Pole and. Santa decided that its would be a. lot easier to move the branch office back up to the North Pole than to try and hide it." "But •if people could see' the Branch Office at the South Pole," said Stevie, "why wouldn't they be able to see the MAIN Office? I mean, airplanes are always' fly- ing up near the North, Pole." "Ho ho ho," roared Gingersnap, slapping his thighs," You're a smart one, yeu. are! The Main Office has' 'been camouflaged for years—ever since the first man went up in the first balloon. It's tucked away up there and nobody could find it, not even if they got out and walked about right on the Pole. We just never bothered to camouflage the branch office. It Uses up so much magic. So, we moved last week. And that was when we lost the, tinsel and. San- ta's been so worried I can tell you, that he's almost torn, out all his, beard. Well, hop int the sleigh and Pll take you up there," "Me?" said Stevie. -"Me? In the sleigh?". "Great Snowflakes and Christ- mas Trees," roared Gingersnap, " ouldn't you know I'd forget to tell you the most important part? This tinsel's magic see, the only piece there is, and without it, none of our equipment from the branch office can -land at the. North Pole. It's all flying around in the sky!. up there right now, And, becauSe you touched it, some of the• magic will have rubbed off (Continued on Page Five) `04,0004NsOMMONOMMINPOWNINNINM 1 V ••• ' . ... s ' ,.....eiee, ea.,'• , '<, .e. ..,*. • `1), ' 40 1, v i ., . - ‘,„ ,2 • Effective Until Closing Time Dec.
