His parents Mr. and Mrs. Everett E. Weller, were away from home. So, David ran to a neighbor's, Robert Oliphant.

Perhaps it is anticipation or something special in the touch of the season's visitor that makes it say "Hello" so cheerfully. The door swung wide to reveal a tall good-looking man in his late twenties. His face was wreathed in greetings as genial as the season. Almost hidden behind a huge bouquet of Christmas greens, he said, "Teacher, this is for you." This same lad has been coming to my Christmas doorstep year after year since he was a little boy. He is a promising young attorney now but he has never forgotten the little classroom where we shared ambitions and hopes.

It shames me 1o realize that my own memory is so tarnished and faded. It is only the occasional child that I remember and then usually Ihe unruly of whom I am apt to say, "I told you so." But I do recall a tiny dirty-faced imp curious and eager who kept his teacher busy answering "how come?" and "why?" And at the Christmas party that year the same urchin struggling with a gift through the crowd of classmates to my side. "Teacher," he said proudly, "This is for you." That's when it all began. How is it that some people always remember and the rest of us so easily forget? I have taught hundreds of students and I have forgotten so much and so many. This young visitor sends my own thoughts back to the little school-house and I wish with all my heart that I had done some remembering.

I owe so much to that remarkable young lady who started me off on a long career. Sincerely, Your teacher.

"Personally," said Bob across the table from me in Lindy's "I don't need this push-up program. I get exercise on stage.

In 'Music I practically did a 4-minute mile." "Same with me, Bob" I said. "I exercise a lot in my work covering the plush saloons. Take these lift-ups I have to do. The waiter brought me a scotch. I lifted it to my lips.

no mean feat these holiday aft ernoons. "Not to mention these push- acrosses I have to do," I said, pushing across some crackers at Bob. "Give That Chicken Fat Back to the Chicken" gives the kids a chance to yell back at instructors and makes exercise fun. (Well reasonably so.)

I'll always remember how the lale Businessman, City of Wells Continue Feud WELLS A nuisance abatement hearing at the December City Council meeting recently, marked the latest phase of a disagree ment between the City of Wells and W. H. Supp, prominent Wells businessman. Mayor Eugene Pengelly conducted the hearing during which Winn Lindquist, city fire chief, testified that spontaneous combustion in tar coated cork insulating material seemed the likely source of a major fire which destroyed most of Supp's Clover Office Building on Clover Avenue.

Supp denied that the insulating material stored in vacant space beside the building's remains, is dangerous and protested a council order to begin moving it to a safer storage space by April .1, 1962. Supp also protested an opinion by Darrell Rytting, city engineer, lhat the fire-damaged building is a hazard. The council agreed to wait 1o decide the building's fate until a building inspector has checked it with Supp. If the inspector condemns it, the city will order it removed. If it is considered not hazardous.

Supp will be given the green light to go ahead with his announced plans to build a new motel ip the area. In conclusion the council unanimously agreed that a nuisance exists and ordered it abated.
