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.

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. * *♦, * ■ < WILL SANTA COME?
