Cpl.) Robert John Donohue, 26, is the son of Mrs. Edith Batt of 1738 West First Vancouver. He enlisted with the About Christmas Trees A complex technique is necessary to handle a Qhristmas tree from the cutting to the trimming. Having just completed the annual festive tree torture we have decided the easiest way to cut a tree is with $1.50. We arrived at this conclusion after stumbling, falling, slipping and sliding around a suburban bush where we discovered that all trees grow on one side only.

After finally ending up with our mug In a pile of old leaves and the little red hatchet almost redder as it nestled by our ear, we used the $1.50 method. We had givan our oath we wouldn't waste money on a tree, would chop it ourselves If It took a week safari into virgin woods. When we arrived home with the tree stuck in a two-bit stand the sarcastic comment was: "My what convenient roots on that tree you cut." Next year we will gladly pay more for a tree if they de-pitch it so it won't drip over hardwood floods. And if they put swivels on it so it can be turned around to please each member of the household who has his or her opinion on which is the best position. We will pay quite a bit more.lf the tree dispensers will send along their own trimmer, one who hangs all the decorations without challenge; who puts each light in the right spot; who picks the right place In the room, and who can get rid of the tree after Christmas.

Get a Prescription Festive excitement bubbled up in our little neighborhood until yesterday at high noon when it suddenly gurgled. There is nothing like a neighborhood full of nippers to electrify the Christmas season which was the condition around our diggins until yesterday when there was an acciaent. Yes, It was in Stan Old Boy's household again. Last year a crimson gloom hung over Stan Old Boy's when, while trying to cut butter with a butcher knife, he chopped the end off his finger. "Oh, and that butter Is rationed," his wife screamed at the time.

Stan Old Boy has been bitter about this ever since. There he was with his finger chopped and the concern was all for the butter. Yesterday Mrs. Stan Old Boy decided she would set the fireplace and have it already for Christmas morning. Disregarding many previous warnings she started to wield a big axe and chopped Into her finger.

She telephoned hubby. "Oh, my gosh!" he exclaimed. "Get a liquor prescription." They 'Guard' It Carefully Indications are that Christmas spirits will be handled entirely differently this year. Formerly one would almost pull people off the streets to buy them a Christmas drink. It was fun to get somebody Christmas jingled.

This year, however, youTl practically have to be a blood relation to get a bang or two. if you get it then. How many limes we have heard already: '1 just hate to think of giving my liquor away after standing hn line so long and keeping it so long." As one fellow said: "I'm going to leave a rum bottle around in sight and serve rum and coca cola, without the rum." We can visualize old prohibition conditions. There will be a knock on the door, the inmates will peek through a curtain and inquire, "Who's zat?" The visitor will say: "Your brother, Joe, open up." Or, It's your old friend, Alex. I'm on the wagon, let me in." So it's another Christmas of shortages, more severe than ever before.

But though it may be a bit shabby, It's still Christmas, still fun, still the time when you glow inside and have nothing but love in your heart There is no rationing of Christmas spirit and never will be. Thus I wish you everything you could wish for yourself and hope your liquor ration lasts. Alas, most of mine went on a mercy mission, for a chopped finger.
