He looked like he was really enjoying his work. He came back to his office after one trip carrying a “pop sucker”. Guess he picked up a “treat” somewhere. Note left on my desk in a child's handwriting says “We wish to thank the Syracuse merchants for the free movie Saturday, Dec. 19. I’m sure the other children enjoyed it as much as we did” and signed. Randy Gingerich and Kirby Schlotterback. Who says kids don’t appreciate and are not grateful, any more. Theatre manager Leon Vance says they had about 300 children and they all acted like they were really enjoying the movie. The Syracuse Journal issue of five years ago carried no news at all, just ads and greetings by the merchants. Could be there was no news. Did any of you watch Judy Bryan on television Sunday? She was on a Chicago station’s program. We should be real proud of our local baton , artist. We will be starting the new year. Now is the time to make a list of all the things you plan to do this coming year. Then check your list on July 1 and see how much you have accomplished. So like Mr. Claus, I’ll say "Merry Christmas To All, And To All A Good Night”. KOMETS PLAY THREE HOME GAMES !
