For Christmas
Because times change
children grow up with
different influences
knew, even after several genera
tions, there are new experiences
to be found in their reading of
the same books we and
rents knew.
It seems to be more
every Christmas to find
gifts, but of one thing
be sure—at least some of the
books we enjoyed as children
ourselves will prove successful
entertainment for our own child
ren. And we are most fortunate
to be living in a town where
there is more than one source
from^which these books may be
purchased.
The Beatrice Potter books, the
Burgess books to the A. A. Milne
stories, the adventure classics
and animal biographies, with
which we all grew up, are still
available, and in town.

We heard a story dealing with
a method of catching monkeys.
It made us wonder if we superior
humans were really far removed
from the ape stage after all.
The story goes like this: A
pumpkin is secured firmly to one
spot on the ground and a small
liole drilled in it, then it is left
for some curious and unsuspect
ing monkey.
Eventually, a monkey examin
ing it will stick its hand in the
hole, and finding the seeds there
in, will try to take a handful. JsTot
knowing enough to let go of the
seeds, the animal is trapped with
its fist bulging and too big to
get back through the hole.
