Humbug in Warwick

Allergic to the very spirit of Christmas, a Warwick Fire

    Dept. dispatcher destroyed a co-worker's decorations - wanting

    " a Christmas free work-place ". A direct descendent of one Ebenezer

    Scrooge - not yet visited by ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and

    Future ? Or did he just forget those little " helper " pills that

    get millions of normally decent people through the JOYOUS season ?

              To be sure, the spirit of consumerism poisons the season

    for the most good natured amongst us. If I were a radio personality,

    I would read  to the kids this poem on the night before Christmas:

    " Howl " by the Jewish beatnik A. Ginsberg. THEN I would offer

    the music of Bach as a sedative.

             Don't be too hard on that cheerless dispatcher: Tis a very

    stressful time of year. Perhaps Santa Claus will give us a brand new

    casino for Christmas. Never lose hope !
