Once Plentiful Reindeer Dwindle In Numbers Santa's helpers? the reindeer? once were plentiful In their native habitats in the north. In recent years, however, their number dwindled so seriously that conser vationists once feared the animals might become extinct. Chief enemy of the reindeer, as of so many animals, is the wolf. Some experts estimate that wolves have destroyed over 500,000 rein deer within the last 15 years or so. It was estimated In 1950 that there were 50,000 reindeer left. In the past few years American boys and girls have been forced to settle for "stand-Ins" or native deer wherever Santa's sled with its eight helpers was used. The true reindeer are difficult to keep alive In: temperate climatu and with the suppiy so shot'., protec tive measures don't allow the rein deer to come southward for the ?holiday season. Receipts from the sale of live stock And livestock products a mounted to $220,065,000 in 1953. htfcjw' o oct W ? extend to ?W our Hobday St*~? 1 TIMMS m*r own -ojr ow(im ,PH RANSOME, a forceful eking, dark-haired man of fifty . left the office early Utrlitmai Eve. There was no use staying, he reflected almost bit terly, the office staff had been hav ing a Christmas party since noon on company time. Hifc family ac cused him of not having any Christmas spirit Well, the office staff had too much of it. The gaily decorated streets were lighted as he walked along the downtown area. Hurrying crowds seemed to be in ? gay mood. Ralph remembered the Christmas of his own youth. He lived on a ranch with four other brothers and .sisters, sn aunt, two fatherless cousins and his parents. With that many mouths to feed, they were lucky to find a dime, an orange. Be felt excited. This was fn. And challenging, too. nuts and a hand-knit pair of socks in their stockings. Now it was vastly different, Ralph thought Christmas was commercial and presents elabo rate, often useless. Molly, his wife, bought the gifts for their three children. A less brilliantly lighted store window attracted him. Sports equipment was ex hibited. Ralph remembered his boy's shout of pleasure last Christmas when he had opened something he wanted particular ly. "Gee, dad, how did you know? Just exactly what I wanted." And Ralph had to say, in hon esty, "Thank your mother, son, 1 Just work here." Julie, his nineteen-year-oM. had burst out "Oh, daddy, it Just isn't any fun when you don't take part You don't even know what you're giving us." After All, He Paid Well, who paid for it? Ralph thought now. So long as they got what they wanted . . . bftt did they? Maybe Julie and Jim had been trying to show him that they wanted something from him. Something he picked out Ralph thought again of his boyhood pres ents that had been made espe cially for him. Why, he realized, that was what made .them special. The children were right then. All he did was pay for their gifts. This year he could pay double and "eke a chance that he would choose things they liked. It was supposed to be the thought not the gift that counted anyway. Why, last Christmas It was that Jim had given him that awful pipe rack. But Ralph had accept* ed it with pleasure and still dis played it in a prominerit place be cause Jim had worked hard to make something he could use. And the ill-fltting, hand-knitted ?ocks from Martha. Those gifts hsd meant more to him than any ?tore-wrapped package could. He turned and hurried into the store. Getting Hie Spirit Ralph shopped carefully among the Jostling crowds. Ha thought i carefully a? to whether tb? gift Would be practical or not, appre ciated or not. Molly was first and that was easy for Ralph knew she bad wanted a watch for years. The children were harder. Julie was in college. She had every thing. No. wait . . .s She loved music, the type Ralph had no patience for. A Brahms symphony wasn't entirely practical, but he knew it would be appreciated. | He felt excited. This was fun. Challenging too. Other, shoppers' faces reflected his own growing excitement. Next, year, he vowed, he and Molly would shop together. He backtracked to the camera de partment. Martha, their seven year-old, was a photography fan. Be bought several rolls of film ar.d a "How To" book. Then. Jim. The boy lacked coordination,, yet liked sports. A basketball and a , punching bag. That ought to do H. | Later, as ha let himself In the house, Ralph could hardly watt to See their faces tomorrow. But ha didn't need to wait As he placed the packages around the tree, Julie's delighted squeal brought the rest of the family in. When 1m turned around, he met four pairs ?f shining eyes that expressed their affection more clearly In jFords. "Gee. dad.** Jim sputtered, "you finally got- the Christmas ?>lrtt-" Ralph smiled beck at them 1 V irmly, "Guess it's catching, and 1 curable." mmnnnH ??n? ?
