became a lost cause as far as accom-

So I trudged trom store to store,
gaped and gawked and pawed over

was all with the helpful assistance of
Elaine who wheeled not one but two
strollers around the aisles in Cariboo

the crash of china to resound any
minute, carried around silver balls
and bottles of cologne in the drug
store, dragged out shoes in Borkow-

I finally trudged home desperate,
discouraged, desopndent and unut-

Probably some of you often won-

help matters any when I spied the
only gift I had puchased on sale for
25¢ cheaper in another store.

Things began to brighten up on
Thursday morning, when I got an
early start and managed to buy four
gifts in one store, two in another,
and half-a-dozen. in still another.
Saturday afternoon I foisted Elaine
on her Daddy, and accomplisted a
bit more.

I still have gifts’ to buy, not to
mention a birthday gift for the editor
who insists on being perennally 27
on December 23rd, a most revolting
date for a birthday. And there is still
the mound of gifts to stare at and
wonder when I will get them gift-

somewhat rosier and I’m eyen look-
ing forward to Christmas now.

der how former residents are getting
jalong and what they are doing in
their new homes. Very often when
|these people renew their subscrip=
tions to the paper, they write little
notes with a comment on their
(doings.

We recently had such a note from
| Marge Henke who writes from Sunny-

|vale, Calif., and “Buster has
taken over an Associated Service
Station in Palo Alto and is doing
|very well. We are all enjoying the
| change.”

A couple of months ago we had
quite a long letter from Mrs. Wm.
Gillard at South Gate, Cal. which
is just a short distance from Los
Angeles. She says Bill got a very good
job the day after he arrived last
March as an accountant. “It’s lovely
here,” she goes on, “no sub-zero
weather to worry about. The school-
ing doesn’t seem to be as geod. Don-
na, now in grade 2, is getting the
same work she had in grade one at
Williams Lake.”

And then a personal letter from
Larry and Paula Avery at Detroit
(everybody's going to the States, it
seems). Dr. Avery is finding his work
at the Henry Ford Hospital most
stimulating and is enjoying it very
much. Paula says they have made
some nice friends, but miss the free-
dom and frank informality of the
Cariboo. She says the latest fashion
in Detroit is fur... fur on night-
gowns, fur on dresses, fur ear-rings.

Well, I'll have you know, Paula,
that the Cariboo is right up to the
minute as far as style. I saw fur ear-
rings in our local jewelery store the
other day. So there!

A four-year-old boy, whose sun-
burn had reached the peeling-off
stage, was heard muttering as he
washed. his face, “‘Only four years
old, and wearing out already!”

There are many wonderful
gifts for HIM in our complete
stock of gift items. Gifts that
he will be proud to own. Gifts
that you will be proud to give.
