Show Thursday, December 14, 1961 Page 3 THE VALLEY VIEW NEWS dows and trimmed streets and trees soon enveloped me in the holiday spirit and again and I was off . . The six blocks to HUMDINGERS didnt seem too bad and even if I did have a lot of packages to carry, still the bargains of shopping in the city made it worthwhile. At the store I dutifully lined up Patronise Your Local Merchants! Shopp er Recounts Harried Experiences Of Going To Town For Gift Buying DEAR READERS: Its a cruel war, this business competition between city and rural shopping areas and the propaganda of advertising and music and glittering windows has as always swayed many. I, like Mrs. Average Housewife, planned a trip to the city shopping yesterday. Parts oJ the wonders of my trip I shall impart to you in the hope they may provide ou with a moment or two of fun and perhaps a backwarc glance at your own encounters of the past weeks. I left early to avoid crowds, traffic jams and parking problems and promised my sitter I would return by supper time. Off for the day to the city (freed by a sitter at 25c per hour) to shop for all the bargains I had so eagerly watched the papers for and so carefully marked. With my mind on my shopping list, I almost noticed the emptying gas tank too late but managed to pull into one of the many stations along my way to fill up the tank $5 please, the attendant announced as he handed back my keys. ($5 less to spend, but must have gas, oh, well.) The city with umpteen others to wait for the elevator and after several elbows in the ribs, several crushed toes and 3 trips of next car, please, I took the stairs to the 6th floor to get Dear Aunt Nelly a sequine and pearl trimmed gold denture holder (a real bargain, according to the ad, for happy denture weares) I asked the clerk where these little gems might be and she looked at me with a rather usupicious Another Nut! look and pointed to a crowd at the end of an aisle. After dodging the comers of tables sitting in the already too narrow aisles, I reached the crowd and began to join the party in an ordeal of rig and grab it. at last and after scanning my ads find that HUMDINGERS Dept Store and Parking Terrace is the closest to all my stops so decided to drive straight to the terrace and park (after all they do validate parking tickets and every penny counts) Sorry, parking terrace filled!, greeted me at the entrance and I followed the others ahead of of me down the block to find another parking spot. (No left turn, sorry, filled, and 4 miles driving later and Iin convinced everyone must have had the same idea 1 had.) But Christmas music, gay shop win do-da- d After examining about 20 holders, I finally found one intact and carried my purchase to the fast service counter. 20 min. later, I reach the cashier, who politely suggested I have the item gift wrapped free of charge. I paid my bill and she told me to take the holder and bill to the desk and they would be glad to wrap it. (The gift wrap desk is. by the way, in the basement) Back to the elevator, down to the basement and over to the gift wrapping, only to find that the free wrapping consisted of some what paper with in big red and HUMDINGERS all over letters it and some green sick rather looking ribbon tied (See SHOPPER Page )6 VERN BRUNDAGE UPHOLSTERY WE COYER OLD FURNITURE TO LOOK LIKE NEW Rebuilt Furniture our Specialty EL CY 34 03 Round A Bout by JOE (Continued from Page 1) in a little accident on his way to work.
