Mepstead on the subject of "Table Top Photography" and President C. Cooper spoke on his specialty "The Use of Paper Negatives".

"What do you want for Christ- mas, honey?" Santa asked pro- functorily. The girl raised a pinched, sallow face and looked at Santa with her one good eye. "I dont's want anything," she re- plied. "A doctor is going to fix my eye--and that's my Christmas." Santa's eyes welled up a bit and he said, "just a ®ninute, honey." Then he went over and picked out the prettiest doll in toyland. "Take this home," he said, "and | J Merry Christmas." That cost Bill Hensen nine bucks. But it was just part of a day's work for the 23-year-old former marine who takes his role of St. Nick ser- ly.
