The Huron Expositor, 1982-12-22, Page 18B8 — THE HURON EXPOSITOR, DECEMBER 22; 1982 The lonesome Teddy Bear "But Papa," whined seven year old Casey. "1'm sorry Casey", replied his father. "Our family can't afford,any toys this year. In fact I dont think we're going to have a Christmas." "Ohh.h," groaned Casey. She thought that this year was going to be different. Casey had a dream of Christ- mas last night. She dreamt of scrumptidus.turkey. pies, po- tatoes. jellos, ice cream, cake, and the best of all, the gifts. It was getting late. so she decided to go to bed. "Good -night Pa, good -night mom hollered Casey.. "Good -night sweetie," re- plied her mother and father. The next morning Mr. Cunningham woke Casey up and told her to get dressed and to eat, "Why?" asked Casey, "What time is it?". "It's 8:30. Now get up." • She got out of bed, and did wha er father asked. "1'm yeidy•' "Ok, let's get into the half -ton", said Casey's father. "we're going to town:" ' Why?' • "Because we're going to buy your mother a pair of earrings, ok?" In fifteen minutes they reached town. "What store. are we going to?" ".'We're going to Sted- mans." Mr. Cunningham and Casey pulled 'up beside the store. As Casey opened the door she saw a special, teddy bear she liked. She ran towards the window and then groaned. She had just seen' that the price was ten dollars. "You comin' Casey?" asked her father. "No 1'11 stay here." While she stood there she thought of a special name for him. She called him Todd. As her father came out he saw her looking at the teddy bear. "Come on Casey, quit your day dreaming." As Casey slowly turned away, she said , under her breath, "See you later Todd." They drove away . while 'Casey took her final look at her secret teddy bear. It was store, closing at An old fashione as soon as the store keepers locked the door and .fvalked away, the toys came to life. Todd was very lone- some. He wanted a friEnd. So he packed his bags and away he went. He had been travel- ling for quite some time now, when he met a rooster. Todd asked. "Will you play with me?" • The rooster , answered, "Can ,you crow like this?' Cock-a-doodle-doo! "No I can not," "Then 1 won't play with you. Be , gone." cried the rooster. Todd turned away quickly and began running. Five minutes later Todd saw a lake that was frozen on the top. In the lake there was a little gold fish. He slowly approached it. "Will you be my friend and play with me?" "Can you swim under water?" "No 1 can't. I'm a teddy bear." "Then get lost," Todd knew that this fish was rude, so he rah off. He found a Toe that was covered Christ It 11 AD A n�atu r(• I C L ri st L as tree can be safe too At Christmas, most Canad- ians still prefer to decorate their homes with the tradit- ional natural tree. Today, however, with increasing concern about conservation of our forest resources, many people' -believe thev are de- ptenng our forests by buying natural young conifers at Christmas. The fact is that most Christmas trees sold by deal- ers are not grown in product- ive forests, but on special plantations using land that might otherwise be unpro- ductive. Others are cut from natural forests, but are ob- - tained by thinning dense stands, thereby allowing bet- ter growth for commerical species. Christmas tree cutting creates jobs and extra income for fariners and other rural people in winter, and the plantations often provide scenic green belts, prevent land erosion. give sanctuary to wildlife and help reduce air pollution. By using care and common sense, a nattytal tree can be safe as any other. Here are some important points to remember when buying and ' install ng your tree: Buy a tree that is fresh, since it will contain more moisture. The twigs should be flexible, and the needles should not fall off when the butt is knocked on the ground. Before you bring it indoors, the tree can be safely stored outdoors, sheltered as much as possible from wind and sun. When you are ready to bring your tree indoors, saw about an inch off the butt to increase water absorption. Put the tree in a stand witha good water container, and make. sure it is kept filled. Plain water is best, and the use of any additives claimed to be "fire retardant" should be avoided. These should actually reduce water absorp- tion by the tree. Fire -retard- ant sprays should also be avoided. Depending on the species, and on temperature and hum- idity of the room, .trees will consume varying amounts of water indoors. A tree about 2m high could absorb up to a Titre in 24 hours. Keep your Christmas tree away from fireplaces. radiat,, s ors and other sources of heat. and be sure it doesn't block an exit from the room. ' Never use wax candles on or near the tree. Before using electric tree lights, check them carefully for frayed cords or other defects. Be sure to turn off the lights before goingto bed or leaving the house.' with snow and began to weep. Off in the distance Todd could hear, "Ho, ho, ho, Merry Christmas." He looked up and gasped. "It's Santa Claus! Hey, it's the 24th of December, Christ- mas Eve," Santa slowly pulled to • a stop in front of him. "Why are you crying Todd?" asked Santa. "I'm lonesome, Santa. I'm a lonesome teddy bear." "How would you like to come with me?" "WeII..,I'd love to!" "Ok, hop in. Ho, ho, ho, Merry Christmas!" N Three hours,9 later Santa and the rest orthereindeer landed on the Cunningham's ,roof. Todd and Santa went down the chimney and gasp- ed. For there we`re no gifts and no tree. The only gift to be seen s mother's ear- rings. "Let's do something 'about this, Todd." "Ok Santa." Together they put the tree up and piled lots of gifts under the Christmas tree. Santa overate The time Santa over ate was horrible. He couldn't fit his suit and we elfs had to' make him a new oite. That wasn't all. When he went out on his sleigh the reindeer couldn't pull him and he still was hungry. Mrs. Claus was getting angry as the fridge was empty, "Nothing for supper" she said to us. "Santa ate everything." We elfs were getting a little upset. Just then Santa came in saying to everyone that he had talked to Richard Sim- mons. and he had started to exercise. We all started to sing with joy.

"Ok." With a twitch of his nose, he rose up the chimney. "Merry Christmas. hnd a happy New Year," called Santa as he flew away into -the night. In the morning you can guess what had happened. The first to wake up was Casey. Then she squealed with delight. The squeal woke up Mr. and Mrs. Cunning- ham, for which they ,gushed flow'nstairs and shouted for Joy. There in front of them we're lots and lots of presents. The most joyous of all was the Christmas tree. Casey squealed again. because there in front of her was Todd. She picked him up and hugged him.
