He knows his time in his snowy domain is.running out. Just twenty-four hours earlier tie cut a handsome figure on the front lawn of 222 Maple Street. It_ seemed as though all the kids in the neighbourhood had worked on him. When they finished, they stood back and admired him. He could tell by their grins they were pleased. put a pair of bright green muffs where his -ears should have been. A brown fedora was. cocked jauntily on his head, and a red woollen scarf was wound round his neck. Someone stuck a corn cob pipe in his mouth and a broom handle in the ground beside him. The broom handle look- ed like a fine walking cane. He stood straight and pro- ud in the shadow of the house Odds 'n ends By Elaine Townshend His figure was well round- ed; his coat was sparkling white, and chunks of shiny black coal made four buttons in the front. Coal was hard to come by these days, but some enterprising youngster found enough. Someone raided . their mother's sewing basket and came up with two huge blue buttons for his eyes. A wizen- ed carrot made a perfectly good nose, and a piece of red plastic - probably from some broken toy - made his mouth. He didn't have any ears, but it didn't matter. A little girl LEARN ABOUT SKIING The first meeting of the New Year of Beta Theta Sorority. was held ,January 11 at the home of Leona Amos Who introduced guest. speaker Harold Burgin. He told about cross country skiing and showed the dif- ferent types of clothing, shoes. skis and other equip- nlent used in this sport. •A business meeting followed and the hostess and Marie Beaver served refreshments. January 25 members met at the home of Mary Jane Taylor who introduced Lori Baker. a beauty consultant for Mary Kay cosmetics. She demonstrated the proper way to apply makeup with Elaine Bogart as the model. The date of the Sorority Dance is May 14. Mary Jane assisted by Donna Webster served lunch. all afternoon. One by one the kids wandered off, but he could still feel the admiring glances of people as they drove by. During the night, the street light illuminated him- He thought of it as his spot light. The frosty night froze him solid, and for awhile, he had hopes of lasting a long time. The morning sky was cl udy, but he could feel the temperature slowly rising. Icicles began dripping from the eaves of the house..Snow began slipping away. He could see muddy patches on the lawn, and he could feel. himself slipping, too. The kids seemed to sense ,the inevitable as they walked past him on their way back to school after lunch. The afternoon went quickly by. His walking stick fell over, and there was no one to pick it up for him. One of his buttons dropped off, and his pipe hung at a dangerous angle. His coat began to look gray. His fedora sagged to the back of his head. One her way home from school, a little girl tried to replace the hat, but it wouldn't stay. Ile felt half his original size, and he sensed that he was leaning dangerously to the right. A cold night would give him a reprieve, but he knew it would only be temporary. His brief fling would soon be over, and he would become just another casualty of the .mild winter. 0 ` E*sss''�-� s.0 5 .Citi _ CO.11:1"4'- Drop in and see our Targe selec- tion Ot roses and assorted cut flowers.
