-(Adapted from u story first pub,
`Reber iu, the Goderielt
Star, Pee, 29, 1956)
Ti'd$ is really a ChrlStMas story,
although it happened last summer,
and because it IS a Christmas
story, I am going to tell about
it now.
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

when we lost the, tinsel and. San-
ta's been so worried I can tell

"Me?" said Stevie. -"Me? In

"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
