Credit for discovering the blaze was given to two foremen, Ar­ nold. Hallman and William Squires, After observing considerable smoke on the third floor, they investigated and found that flames were issuing forth from the vicinity of a ventilating fan in a paint spraying booth. They put in a call for the volunteer fire de­ partment, which, it is alleged, was im­ peded in its response to the alarm be­ cause ice had frozen the fire whistle. In the meantime the factory sprink­ ler system commenced operations and for a time there was four or five in­ ches of water on the third floor. The water - went through to the second floor where the veneer department is located and did some damage. The machine shop on the ground floor also suffered to some extent.

Clifford Minister Gets Call Rev. W. A. Pieper, of Clifford, has received a call from the Lutheran church at New Boston, Mich. Rev. Pieper has been pastor of St. John’s By Harry J. Boyle ’’SANTA CLAUS” Both of us felt sort of foolishly silly as we hung the pair pf little white stockings up on the tree. Wrinkled in­ to the shape of a pudgy little foot , . the stockings seemed to hang with their tops open » * , just sort of waiting to be filled. We showed the stockings to Pat­ ricia Ann. She looked at them and sort of cooed a little and then dabbed a fat fist out for one of the decora­ tions on the Christmas tree, I’m quite sure than anyone who looked in the window and saw us explaining the stockings to her . . , and noted her smile ' of indifference would have thought us daft. But there we were . , . and it was making us happy to’ do it. ' She snuggled her head down on Mrs. Phil’s shoulders and went off to ■her trundle bed and I slumped down in the old rocker beside the front par­ lor stove fire. From then on, every­ thing stems sort of -hazy ... as I .seemed to be rocking off into space the to- . . . and the surroundings of room grew dimmer and dimmer. “Well, Phil, how’s everything night?” That made me sit up and take not­ ice and there standing beside the stove was a fat. jolly looking old fellow. White hair seemed to flow down from under his cape and ripple around his head and shoulders like those moun­ tain streams you see in calendar pic­ tures. He laughed and the folds of his bright red suit wrinkled up and down under a shiny, black belt, I looked down at the melting snow on his black boots, and he saw me and said, “I tried to knock as much of that snow off as possible. I hope' Mrs. Phil doesn’t mind.” . My startled wits seemed to return to me then and I mumbleci something about that being all right and asked him to sit down. He rubbed his hands briskly and looked over the tree, and sort of nodded approval as he said, “Have too busy a night to be rest-, mg.” Then he saw the two little White stockings. “Her first pair for Christ­ mas hanging up,” he seemed to mumble to himself. “Time does fly, Phil,” he kept on, “it seems like only yesterday that your first pair were comm# along,” He stopped dead still then and laughed nut loud, a booming sort of laugh, "You were a rascal, Phil, That night you waited up for me to come and I filled yqur stockings and put them on the chair beside you. That one time you stirred I was certain you were going to wake up/’ ’ He seemed to be talking to himself as he opened the folding top of the big pack and I "caught a glimpse of gay colors and the smell of toy varn­ ish came floating across to me. "Patricia Ann, eh? , She’ll like a ball , , that’ll make a nice big lump down in the toe here and there’ll be fun in trying to get it out, No, she’s too small for that , . but here’s a little iMammy doji , , and here’s n toy,soldier that jingles and I’ll fill it up with candy. H’mph . . she’s too small to eat much candy . . but I guess you can help her put on that* Phil. Her.e’s a fuzzy monkey that walks when you wind it . . Mrs. Phil will be wondering what that bump in this toe is . . . and here’s a bright tin horn , , and an orange . , and. some nuts . . and ah, here’s that cuddly black and white bear , . it’ll sit up here on the branch . , and she can take it to bed with her.” He stepped back and cocked his head to one side .and placed his hands on his hips and said, “A right good job if I do say so myself.” He was moving faster then, and he slipped on his cap and flipped the- pack on his back and just before he- disappeared from sight he said, “Mer­ ry Christmas to you all’’ ._ . and F heard sleigh bells away off . . as if they were away down the concesssion.. Mrs. Phil was calling me, and I looked around and the fire was down and the stockings Were full . . and I said, “I was just talking to Santa Clause” . . and she smiled and said “It’s time for bed. I expect you’ll be up early to help Patricia with her stockings.” SALLY;^ SALLIES tot"”*' IA Pl UE OF My Lutheran church, Clifford, for the past four years. hanging up.
