KUKLAPOLITAN CHRISTMAS (Continued from page 44) know what I ever did to deserve it . . ." She started primping like mad. "My goodness, I hope I didn't look like this when I met with the committee." My patience was getting short. "What committee?" I asked. Buelah smirked. "That nice State Street Council committee. The one on Christmas decorations. They've asked me to assist." This was Buelah's moment and she made the most of it. "Well, dears, it seems last year they had a little trouble hanging the evergreen garlands across the street. Stretching wires and dodging cars was quite a nuisance. I just offered to enlist the girls from Witch Normal. We'll just fly back and forth across the street, two girls to a garland, using our regular freight brooms. Easy. Easy as pie." Going over to the piano where he'd set his typewriter, Ollie stared out into space. Then he began writing fast, his tooth flashing over the keys. Finishing, he asked for a stamp and an envelope, addressed it and hurried to the mail chute. It was just two weeks later when who should arrive in the studio but our boss's brother, Dick Tillstrom, his wife, Miriam, and their family. They'd come all the way from Grand Rapids, Michigan. A visit from them is always an occasion, for there's a close bond of affection between all members of the Tillstrom family, and we Kuklapolitans are just wild about the kids. We all clustered around remarking that Susan, now thirteen, is turning into quite a young lady, and that Richie, nine, is wiry, quick, and into everything. The big thrill, however, came when Miriam set fifteen-month-old Bevan down on the floor and Bevan stood up all by herself. Dick shook hands all around, but he kept his coat on. Turning to Burr, he said, "Well. I got it. It's out on the car." Frankly puzzled, Burr looked at him blankly. "You've got what?" It was Dick's turn to stare. "Why, the Christmas tree. You asked for it." Ollie interrupted. Thrusting his head between the two brothers, he winked. Dick caught on first. "Oh, so it was you, Ollie. I might have known that wasn't Burr's typing. Bad as his is, he at least doesn't shift back and forth between the red and black ribbon." Burr was horrified. "Ollie, you didn't! Well, obviously you did. Let's have it." Mr. Dragon obliged. "I've heard your father tell how, when he was a little boy and Michigan was big timber country, he used to go out into the woods around Benton Harbor, cut his own Christmas tree and bring it home through the snow. My folks did the same thing in Dragon Retreat, Vermont. So I thought it would be nice if this year . . . well,, it's here." From the look on the faces of the two brothers, I knew Ollie was forgiven. I also had the feeling that everyone was thinking things which were difficult to put into words. Things about the love members of a family hold for each other, love which increases with separation, and how Christ Timely Tips by Little Lulu HO(A/ 00 YOU SCORE ON THESE HELPFUL WAYS TO SAVE ?
