What's This?, v1, no6

Welcome, Mayor Garland It is a sincere pleasure to have with us tonight Mayer Garland, who will speak on "How Our City Govern- ment Operates." "Mammy Says to Pappy " — D'ja see Irene Cooke in her Sunday- go-to meetin gown of burlap sackin... ruffles, fringe, and all - she claims they et all the taters fust before she came to the Sadie Hawkins* Day Party.

When the boys open the green tar- letan bags with Merry Christmas em- broidered in red yarn, they'll get a grown-up version cf the Christinas stockings they used to take off the fireplace, for each bag will contain: 2 packages of cigarettes toothbrush after shaving lotion brushless shaving cream soap 2 white handkerchiefs tube toothpaste comb jigsaw puzzle men's talcum powder 2 candy bars and hard candy playing cards peanuts fiction Pocketbcck Of course - it won't be anything like spending Christmas at home with their families, but it may help some convalescent soldiers or sailors over a lonely day. And, for any cf you whose Christ- mas Spirit can stretch to include another lad or two, may I suggest the Chicago Tribune's "Adopt a Yank in Sick Bay" campaign. The plan is to tell the Trib
