Children's Gift Money Disappears The Mizenko children of Haddock decided some time ago to give up the movies and deprive themselves of milk in school to save enough money for Christmas presents for mother and dad and the family's new triplets. Last night, 11-year-old Kathleen Mizenko, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Mizenko, came to town with a friend to do the shopping. She had $10 with her which the kids had saved.

She bought her dad's present, and then found some cute plastic panties for the triplets. She paid for the panties, and when she turned to put her change into her wallet which had been momentarily placed on the counter, it was gone. With it went $6.13 and all the holiday happiness the child had stored up in the joy of sacrificing to give to someone else. ll.J -ON- AVV lAfKFTS SLAX CAPS SUITS and many many more items.
