Once there was a cat named Gar-
field. Garfiold loved getting
.presents on Christmas. One night
Rudolph was sick. Santa went to
tell everybody the bad news. Santa..
. said "Christmas is cancelled." Gar-
field was so made that he dressed up
.as Rudolph. He went to the shop-
ping mall to find Santa; -
But the shopping mall was closed.
\ So Garfield went to the North Pole
to find Santa. Santa -said "Rudolph,
I thought you were sick." Garfield
tried to fly. You aren't Rudolph. -
Then all of a sudden he fell down a
hill. The sleigh unbuckled. All
the presents fell out of the sleigh
down into`the chimneys and under
the Christmas trees. It was a Merry
Christmas after all.

Have a Safe Holiday
Your police department wish for you a Happy Christmas and
a Prosperous New Year. May we remind you again that alcohol
and gasoline do not mix. Remember the festive season is fast
approaching and at this time of year don't forget your family.
If you hove too much to drink, DON'T DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE.
Coll a taxi or ask someone for assistance. With the new lows
in regards to the Breathalizer tests, drinking and driving can
become very costly and a punishment such as a jail term and
the loss of your licence can be imposed. BE MUCH WISER
DON'T GET CAUGHT BY THE BREATHALIZER.
