Christmas in the air—pre-holiday
activities getting into high gear...
Santa Claus will be here at his
headquarters in the former Troy
Motor Sales room to greet his little
friends Saturday afternoon—how
ever, unless there is some snow the
old fellow will have to travel by air
plane or some other way, unless he’s
invented some new-fangled sleigh ...
fact is, there hasn’t been much snow
before Christmas since that rough
and tough winter five years ago
when at this time roads were block
ed with snowdrifts however,
here comes the Messiah concert next
Sunday night which if all signs
hold good is a pretty sure indication
of winter weather and it’s a bit
discouraging to see the number of
shopping days before Christmas con
stantly getting less—and our Christ
mas shopping hasn’t started and
here is December 7—remember that
was Pearl Harbor day—and how the
world has changed in the past eight
years—we've come a long way since
that time and have learned many
things—not among the least of these
is the realization that it may be
easier to win a war then to win
the peace.
And speaking of Christmas, there’s
a queer quirk in the postal regula
tions—under the new rates it will
cost you 2-cents postage to mail an
unsealed greeting card to your next
door neighbor—but it will cost only
1J2 cents to send the same unsealed
card to China, Africa, Iceland, or in
fact any place in the world except
the United States or its possessions.
Postal attaches commenting on the
situation said it is comparatively
simple to change domestic postal
rates: however, to change interna
tional postal schedules is an involved
and complicated process, which ex
plains- why the old rate for foreign
postage remains unchanged.
Mr. and Mrs. Willard Cherry, who
operate Skip’s Nursery over near
Rockport got the lowdown on the
present European situation the other
day from a visitor, Harry Verdegaal
of Sassenheim, Holland, who stopped
here on his annual call taking ord
ers for tulip and other spring-flow
ering bulbs for shipment next fall.
Verdegaal is an interesting visitor
and the Cherrys always anticipate
his visits with pleasure.
Aaron Geiger still plays the piano
at the age of 91. His birthday was
last Saturday and on Sunday he
played three hymns at the morning
service of the Ebenezer church. He
has always been interested in music
and each year on the Sunday nearest
his birthday is called upon to play
at the church service.
Besides his music, he keeps active
in the workshop at his home out on
South Main street. Exhibited in the
Bluffton News window is a minia
ture tractor and trailer which he
turned out the other day. Mounted
on the trailer is a big ten-inch ear
of corn from the farm of his son
Monroe Geiger of near Pandora.

Archie found it in his woods in
