Terry Toons must have filched their ideas fl'om this volume which describes The Whffl- i ing Whimpus, the Gumberoo, the Flu-flu bird, and Paul's bird dog, Skookum. These are wild, wild animals from the never never land of pretend, from whence cometh all tall tales. "The Davenports and Cherry Pie" is the story of an elegant looking poodle which proves him- self to be quite a dog after all. "Eddie and tile Fire Engine" by Haywood has been one of the most popular books of the year. Eddie fell in love with an old re- tired fire engine. This is interest- ing but no more so than Eddie's pie eating goat, Gardenia, and his chum, Anna Patricia, who lost her teeth. 'For the wee wees, "Tyke, the Little Mutt" whose illustrations of Tyke and his dog friends are as fascinating as the story. In Klem's "Serene and the Cookie Lady," Serene is a wise eat having ac- quired through her nine lives nine times more wisdom than anyone can possibly get in just one short life time. Read how Serene put the cookie lady on her feet finan- cially and started the whole town munching cookies. It is a sweet plot. "The Important Book" by Brown is for pre-school age. It is beauti- ,fully illustrated. The December Junior Literary Guild titles keep up the usual fine standard for children's reading. Older boys and girls have ac- quired the habit of reading mys- tery str4es ime as their par- ents. "Ghost' Garnet Lodge" by Duncombe fills this need for the girls. This is doubly interesting: because of its skiing background. "The Black Stallion and Satan" by Farley is one mot+e answer to the eternal question, "Can you find me a horse story, please?" "Dig For a Treasure" by Mar- shali will keep the fourth, fifth and sixtt grader digging from page one to the final word. Grade three and four have a treat in "Cocolo comes to Ameri- ca" by Ehrlieh, both in story and illustration. Cocolo is a steadfast little donkey who comes to Am- erica with his master, Lucid. Their funny and exciting adventures in finding a happy home in this big country keep five-to-eight-year-old leaders and listeners enthralled. In fact the grown-up who reads this story to his or her children won't have any trouble at all in believing that Cocolo slept in the bathtub, rode in a taxi, and fell asleep in the elevator and had to be carried to the fourteenth floor of the apartment in New York. Parents should interest them- selves in these lists which come out from time to time. In that way one can get an idea of the books which children here and elsewhere are reading. CHRISTMAS MUSIC TO BE BROADCAST A Christmas Eve musical treat for the entire Pacific Northwest has been arranged, presenting the world-famous Mount Saint Mi- chaels Choir of Spokane over the combined facilities of the Ameri- can Broadcasting Network in this region. The program is sponsored by the Seattle-First National Bank in behalf of its 47 banking offices covering the State of Washington, as its contribution to the Christ- mas spirit. The choir will be heard on Christmas Eve from 8:30 to 9 p.m. over stations KGA, Spokane; K JR, Seattle; KEX, Portland; KPQ, Wenatchee; KWWB, Walls Walla; and KPKW, Pasco. The choir will sing a program of time honored and modern Christmas music. Their outstand- ing arrangements, excellent sing- ing voices and capable leadership have brought recognition to the group as one of the foremost male choruses of the World. with holly on red and green run- ing picture. Mrs. E. C. Williams and Mrs. Guy Kneeland, social committee chairmen, had many helpers, including the Lew Evans iamily, Mrs. Emma Prusia, Miss Virginia Prusia, Mrs. Bob Moffett, Mrs. Agnes Jackson, Mrs. Mary James and others. EMMET WILLIAMS installed and decorated the Christmas tree, with some assistance from his daughters. Miss Prusia made the window wreaths. Following supper Ed Haskell from the Liliiwaup care showed movies, a Mickey Mouse comedy and a Red Skelton picture, which 1)roved entertaining to grown-ups and children. Then "Mrs. Santa Claus" took the spotlight. Santa's spouse, tak- ing over his job of distributing Rifts, was played by Mrs. Emma Prusia. She wore a costume, v¢ith plen<y of white fur trim on the black top and the long red skirt. Each child received a gift from the tree and a sack of candy, nuts and oranges. Records fm'nished music for" the party. THIS IS A BUSY week for ev- cryone. Many Lilliw-aup residents find that our native greens make the best gift packages to send their friends and relatives in the East and in California. Every bit of holly and spray of cedar and other evergreens is treasured by the recipients and shared with their neighbor's. Mrs. Josie Peterson made a mantel decoration for ,a friend to send away for Christmas and used 16 different varieties of greenery. $40 Billion The federal government is a $40,000,000,000-a-year business.

I * * )1= i Around 1928 Jim Marshall, then a newspaper editor' who wrote verse in his spare time, turned oat these lines in apoem called "Pard- ners" : "When I strolls up north of Yesler In my mackinaw and calks, I ('.an lamp the dames a-flouncin' As my boots squeak on the walks. "An' I sees some soft-eyed cutie Trippln' by in every block ..... Hell, I cut the blasted timber For the rayon in her frock! "When I'm out among the round stuff And the crosscut's singin' true, Till I stop to take a chew. "Oh, it's then my mind goes strayin' To the ladies and their airs, And I'm proud I fell the hemlocks For them flossy socks they wears . .. " That was the stuff. Advertising had made the logger conscious of the end use of the. product of his toil, the hemlock log. And now such consciousness is b e i n g i aroused at last by advertising plain lumber. , • • What the modern-minded West Coast sawmill men are bunching up on nowadays is not only the )roduction of a rnovie in Holly- wood colors but a stack of maga- zine advertising and promotional booklets in the same eye-cat(.,hing greens, blue, yellows and reds. And the sweat comes b'ilin' off me They are using cartoons, too ...... sketches that first amuse, then more payr01is, more local markets for local business people and farm- ers, and more money to pay for the industrial forestry programs ..... the tree farms. FEDERAL AID FOR FLOOD-CONTROL WORK IS SOUGHT County Commissioner R o y Mitchell of Belfair reported that he has contacted Senator Warren Magnusen to secure federal help on proposed flood control projects for Skokomish Valley. "The senator said that his of- rice ah'eady has taken steps to find out what has to be done to have money allocated," Mitchell said. A. L. Ward, county engineer, and Commissioner Mitchell on De- cember 14 attended a flood con- trol meeting in Olympia, called to iron out general flood problems in the state. The flood control conference wan conducted by the State Depart- meat of Conservation and Devel- opraent.
