Bakelaar Dominic Bradley THE UNHAPPY CHRISTMAS One day, on the night before Christmas Eve, Santa was very worried as he was talking to Mrs. Claus. "On the •radio I heard that the grinch is playing tricks and damaging things again. He bet- ter not ruin this Christmas or Now -Santa! Don't get so worked up! Go out and check on the elves, find some spare bulbs for Rudloph's nose, And get the sleigh filled up with gas. And for heaven sake forget about that grinch!" But little did Santa know that while he was getting ready to go outside the grinch., was glueing their hooves. to the ground, -and had found Rudolph's spare bulbs and then smashed them. So' by the time it was Christmas .Eve and ti system. Now I could start. I was flying at 1800 ft. when Dancer's and Prancer's engines broke down. I was diving down. going about 2,000 miles per hour when I pulled back on the stick and dropped Dancer and Prancer off. I went flying up- wards and almost lost two Off. my toy bags. When I got the sled back to normal I' spotted the Grinch flying a German bomber that specialized in dropping bombs that would only explode toys. Luckily it didn't have any machine guns on it, so I took out a toy machine gun that .fired plastic bullets and shotit down. I never saw him again -that night. I had finished delivering toys to Canada and was flying over to Europe across the Atlanic Ocean when a Blue Whale jum- w•d me For. found out he needed his 2 spare reindeers, Katy and Jingles. ( I4 -e- ,needed—r.-eindeers to help a keep the' sleigh in the air.) So he finally got on his way with a merry "1-io,Ho!" and a promise to give the children twice as many toys this time. But the grinch had made a big pile of snow and as Santa tried to avoid,,, it he crashed into a tree ,and Santa's sleigh was 7i'iiemolished. Finally Santa decided he had enoungh of the -grinch. 'He was climbing 'up on the grinche's roof when his arthritis acted up -and he fell into a snowbank where helay frozen all night, After he was unfrozen he said his good old saying, "I'll give the • ildren three times as much next ye r. ' y Diana Walzak TRAFFIC .JAM It was Christmas Eve, Santa Claus had not arrived yet, and it was almost morning. They waited and waited and waited. But just, then they heard him coming. He came to them and told him about his story. 'He said that he was riding like usual but just then he got caught in a 'traffic jam with rockets and things all going to the- moon. But the• next second I knew I heard a duck coming going honk, honk and it cleared the way for me and thats how I got here." ." Then he went to all the houses and gave everyone what they whated•• Everyone in the world got Christmas because of aduck. by Shawn SANTA CLAUS RIDES AGAIN It was Christmas Eve, I was gassing up the- reindeer. with Shell's Non Leaded because I didn't want to pollute the air. I replaced Rudolph's old light bulb since it burnt out three • months 'ago. At the moment I was making last minute check- Comet's fuel injections :ups on .1. Across the land, in farm, village, town and city, the spirit of Christmas is everywhere. May r,. it fill your own world with happiness, joy * and good will now and throughout the coming year!

DAIRY DISTRIBUTORS OF SILYERWOODS DAIRY PRODUCTS the rest cif the night, the rein- deers and I were stuck in a whale, The. whale must not . have liken bright lights because in the morning I replaced •Rudolphs old_light and the whale automatiely let me go. From then on'l never went over that place again. by David MacDonald SANTA'S DELAY • It was December 24th the night before Christmas. Santa had many places to go. I •checked rudolfs- recently because he'd looked a little pale, but he was allright' now. So I started to pack up the toys with the help of my elves: I hitched"up my reindeer and • called to rudolp onward, but he • wouldn't go. I approached him and, "Oh no" he •was pale again. I was in a mess this time. I could not see without rudolrs shiney nose. I -decided to _leave rudolf home and use some other kind of transportation. 1 finally decided to use. my 20 horse power snowmobile and cabouse. So I got my helpers to reload the cabouse. When they were finished 1 set out on my journey,, l went to North -hay and then places surrounding or in the area. k' was finished in a. flash and was - heading south. I was in dangerous country because my motor might quit. I did',the rest ofthe south and was an hour behind schedual. I had only one, place left was clopidia But as I told you- before my engine could quit, well just my luck _ it did. I got it fixed and was hack on track in 1/2 an hour. T arrived at clopidia . at almost the time when everyone got up. I had done every house done except one house. . It was a little girls house and her name was laura. I was up on •the roof and started down the chimney but just at the hot - tom of the chimney I got stuck.' I yelled and bellowed for help. Laura approached and helped me out. I asked her what I could, give her for her kindness but she Said there was nothing nicer than seeing Santa Claus. by Sherry Bradley • A TOUGH NIGHT FOR SANTA I' thought 1' had heard someone yelling .for. .tp• 1 heard it again. Yes, it was • coming from the chimney• I ran downstairs and looked up the chimney. There I saw Santa•.I told him I would get a .,ladder and help him down if t_ ' made a bargain with me that I would get an extra present. He said yes and when 1, reached top the ladder Santa didn't look like the real thing. When I tried pull him down he didn't budge. I. felt around and found the plug to his inner - tube plug so 'I pulled it off. There was a big whoosh and then we were'both on the floor. Then something else hap- pened to him. The stuffing in his arms and legs came out He looked mighty familiar. Yes, it was the mayor of the town. He explained to me that since they didn't have a Santa in one of the stores so they decided to have someone go around and deliver presents. Next he showed me his atomic -powered sled. He decided to let me help him deliver the rest of the presents. We had a few problems though. First he didn't have an inner - tube around .his"belly and fell ' down the chimney with a thud. He had to hurry and get hack up . the chimney before the ''c'hildren found him. Next we filled the tuhe with gas and, it- blew. up when he went down the chimney because there was a fire in it. We went right home and he let me take hid place to next year because he didn't want to go through . what he had and' because I lied helped him (;riff Murphy Attention 7V SIGNAL -STAR, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1974 -PAGE 11 '74Class Grads CLASS REUNiQN TO BE HELD 8:30 P.M. t /1thMEET AT THE CORNER OF SOUTH ST: AND THE • FIRST ANNUAL Friday, December SQUARE ur warmest wishes for 'the holiday.
