FINISHING By Jimmie Surles Well, it’s finally happened to me! I always knew one of these months I’d sit down and try to find something to v/rite and fail and it looks as if this is surely the month here in the eleventh hour. I guess I should try to offer some excuse and yet the only thing that I know of is the possibilities of my approaching vacation along with thoughts of turkey and lots of cran berry sauce The very short time away now when the little ole man in the red suit with his snowy white whiskers will begin his annual visit to glad den the hearts of millions of little ones and quite a few of us older ones as well. However I can tell you a little of what has happened.

Yet he had one fear that if his girl knew his vision was so poor she might call off the wedding. So to keep her from knowing, he schemed to plan to hide his faulty vision. So the next day as he neared her home, he stopped at a small tree about 100 feet from the house and stuck a straight pin into the bank. Now later as the two sat in the swing on the porch and talked, the girl noticed her suitor staring at the tree and asked what he saw. Well, then he told her he was not sure but was almost certain he could see a straight pin sticking in the bark of the tree, whereas they both went down and he removed the pin, while his fiancee chirped on praises about his astounding vision.
