Review correspondent, Sharon Steele, is the author of the story. Mrs. Steele is an experienced writer and we feel sure youngsters will enjoy her ori- ginal work.

Staff Johnson suggested that part of the money, $59,575, could be used to hire more personnel in his department. He said his department needs two deputies and a secretary in order to run effectively. Since the jail was enlarged the sheriff has pulled one deputy from patrol and one from investigation to fill in at the jail. The cost of running the jail and the number of staff members needed to man it are the same whether the beds are full or not, the sheriff told the county commission.

Pulling on his socks, he lay back and listened to the rustlings in the room. Soon his eyes grew heavy, and he would have fallen asleep had not his fingers relaxed enough to drop the flashlight. The resulting thud brought him to his senses. Fumbling around, in an effort to retrieve his only source of light, Timmy opened his eyes wide with astonishment. Things had changed beneath the bed. In fact, the whole room had been transformed. The bottom side of Timmys d mattress had become the ceiling, and the boy, cowering behind an enormous stump, that turned out to be the leg of his bed, found himself an unwitting witness to the amazing drama unfolding there before his eyes.

The sheriff told the commission that keeping the extra deputies in the jail who should be on patrol and in investigation was a hazard to the county. The only alternative we have is to run short, he said. The department is having a difficult time keeping up with warrants and investigation, he said.

He wasnt sure if Christmas could even come, with Dad there. When the electricity finally failed, it was, strangely enough, a gradual thing. For hours the lights flickered like fireflies, blinking on and off. Then, like a rubber band stretched too many times, a vital cable sagged, and the house went dark. Mother said she didnt know how the lines had stayed up as long as they did. She put another log on the fireplace and sent Timmy to bed. The young boy took a flashlight downstairs. His basement room was dark and cold. Without electricity to turn its motor, the usually rumbling gas furnace was strangely silent. Timmy reluctantly eased himself between icey sheets. A shiver ran up his spine, and on impulse, he wind-whippe- recent trend did not point that way.
