0) FOURTEEN SAYRE, MONDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1930 WELL. ANYHOW. DAD GETS A NECKTIE Figures He's Lucky and That Christmas Is a Great Occasion "Christmas," said a Sayre daddy today, "is a great institution, a day of days, a grand and glorious occasion, if you know what I mean. "About a month ago the missus began her Christmas shopping and she's been at it ever since. She's bought something for all of her relatives and all of mine.
Her presents include something for some of the neighbors kiddies and a whole lot for our own youngsters. "Along about January first I will have to get a new license for the car. My insurance will come due, the coal bin will need refilling and there will be a lot of other year-end expenses. Does that make any difference to the missus in her spending orgy? It does not. "Junior just had to have a new coat and a new suit.
Little Mary's shoes are all worn out for the third time since the Fourth of July. Joe writes home from college that he has been honored by being elected to membership in the Etta Hunka Pie and please, dad, send $100 at once for dues. "The stores just seem to be bulging with unusually good Christmas presents this year and, according to the missus, it's a crime not to take advantage of the bargains. She's not committing any crime in this respect. Then, too, there's the unemployed to be looked after.
Got to do my bit for them and I am doing it. May be on my uppers myself some day. You never can tell. "Have ordered a Christmas tree, a turkey and the usual accessories and believe the worst of the spending is over. Christmas morning when the kiddies get up at daylight and start their all-day shrieking with joy I will try and be repaid for what it has cost me just noticing how happy they are.
"The missus will take the skates, dresses, suits, shoes, toys, jewelry, etc. off the tree and the entire family will go into a fit of jubilization over what Santa has brought them. It sure will be a great day. "After everyone else has received five or six presents Junior will finally calm down and notice that the only one without anything is daddy. He'll ask about it and the missus will look rather surprised and, after a search of the tree, ejacul*te: "'Here's daddy's present' (handing me the 25 cent necktie) 'isn't it pretty, daddy, don't you just adore i it LARGE CROWD IN CHURCHES TO SEE HOLIDAY PROGRAMS (Continued From Page Two.) hand instrument used' when the church was first opened was used.
