Christmas Story Begins in Monday's Issue of Newspaper' This year's Constitution-Tribune Christmas story is about Jeremy Chiistinas, his friend and employer, The Spirit of Christmas, and four lazy little characters--Sudden, Flash, Instant and Rush--who live in two tumbledown shacks on a treeless spot of land along Slipshod Creek. They do only enough to keep alive--nothing more. The Spirit of Christmas doesn't like this situation, so calls upon Jeiemy Christmas to correct it, giving him the power of magic and invisibility. A mi-scluevious little imp, Jeremy first tries some tricks that he thinks will inspire the lazy foursome to action. The plan fails and, at the suggestion of The Spirit of Christinas, Jeremy changes his tactics.

Immediately amazing and amusing things begin to happen. In the end a merry holiday Is enjoyed by all. We know all of The Constitution- Tribune's thousands of readeis will enjoy this Christmas story--it is especially recommended for our young readers.

British diplomats London also suggested yet another round of reunification talks, possibly by foreign ministers of the West and Russia or even by heads of government.
