The little girl has a cancer which doctors said probably will take her life within week. A department store Santa and his friend, a circus clown, brought delight to Judy, however. The clown with the funny nose carried a small, decorated Christmas tree and a music box, Santa carried an armful of gaily-wrapped packages. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Woods of Delta, Judy's parents, smiled when the clown turned the handle of the box and "Jingle Bells" tinkled through the room. Judy happily sucked a striped candy cane and nestled a new doll in her arms. A toy elephant which twitches his snout lay in the bed beside her.
