Ye Olden Days of Joy-
Are Not, Cokes Dont
Taste Good in Winter
Good bye, whiskey! good bye,
stronger than water" booze!
This is the voice of the oid timers
who .-.pent Christmas in Norman
years auo—in the good old days.
No more will our fair little city be
the scene of a wi.d array on Christ-
inas eve.
No more will those bars be glitter-
ing with lights of happiness and joy.
No more will that bloated dispen-
ser of wet goods slide that dainty
fif^-ss alorijj the polished surface.
No more will there be those "free
for al - No more hilarious shows
with that fiery water "hic-hicking"
from the tank below.
No more will those bullets sing
uround our cars with their angry
hissing.
Gone are those days but ne-er to
be forgotten, some say.
Never a^ain will one old timer be
*ble to walk up the street barefooted
that he might keep the mud off his
shoes
Never again will another mistake
his cow manger for his own sweet
bed.
Yes, the^e days of Christmas cheer
lomc u::less some fortunate being
•-hotild happen to have a private
stock or a good recipe, some raisins
and lemon extract, or other make-
shift.
Instead, these old timers are go-
ing to celebrate Christmas in a dif-
ferent way, they say.

Swim or Skate—You
Can Take Your Choice
At Doll's Park Now
Doll's park will soon be a fine place
to go skating if the cold weather con-
tinues.
As the thermometer falls the water
in the swimming pool slowly freezes
and as Mr Foster says the water is
not to be drained this winter anyone
so inclined may find the sliding good
within a few days, or perhaps even
within a few hours.
A decided advantage is that this
| bating rink will be free. Mr. Foster
is not even going tj keep tab on the
number of skates taken.
v.x-.t this be an ideal form of
amusement?
All that is necessary is that you call
"her up", tell her of your happy
thought, gather your pep together
and sally forth to the west side of
town to spend an enjoyable and mem-
orable evening.
