jdemaris: I have one for you, not quite as good as yours, but also true. In the 1930s a young lad left my home town in Nova Scotia for Boston. There was work in Boston as Rosevelt was spending his way out of the depression. Once in Boston, our young lad decided if he studied for the clergy, there would be any amount of Pres. dollars from back home to see him through college. He graduated and accepted a posting in MA. This was just after WW#2 and many of his congregation were interested in obtaining Lenfield 303 rifles used by the Canadians in Europe. The practice was cut the stocks down and used them for hunting rifles. The good Rev. had inherited some forest land in Nova Scotia. He along with members of his congregation drove to Halifax with a car and stake truck. They bought 200 rifles, at Halifax War Surplus, went to the Rev's woodlot, cut a full load of Christmas trees, packed the rifles in the trees. At the border the Rev drove the truck. He told US customs how he and the parisheners in the car following sacrificed their time so every house in the congregation would have a Christmas tree. Customs officer wished them all a Merry Christmas, and sent them on their way.
