Th ere IS a Santa Claus! How a Little Girl's Query Received Classic Answer From New York Sun Over forty years ago, a curious little girl wrote a let ter to the editor of the New York Sun. "Dear Editor: I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says 'If you see it in the SUN, it's so.' Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus? Virginia O'Hanlon. 115 W. 95th St." Edward P. Mitchell, at that time in charge of the Sun's edi torial page, turned the letter over to Mr. Francis P. Church for an swer. Only after editorial per suasion did Mr. Church answer this letter, and his answer, though published in the New York Sun of September 21, 1897, still re mains one of the greatest Christ mas editorials of all American journalism, for the answer Vir ginia O'Hanlon received is as true today as it was before the turn of the century. THE SUN'S REPLY "Virginia, your little friends are-wrong. They have been af fected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not be lieve except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or child ren's, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasp ing the whole of truth and know ledge. Yes, Virginia, there is a, Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. AlaB! how dreary would be the world If there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginians. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tol erable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The ternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. Not believe in SANTA CLAUS! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on 'Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Spnta Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the dawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders that are unseen and unseenable in the world. You can tear apart the baby'a rattle and see wba't makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world whl<;h not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? ! Ah, Virginia, in all this world ! there is nothing else real and ' abiding. | No SANTA CLAUS! Thank God! He lives, and he lives for ever.- A thousand years from i now. he will continue to make j glad the hearts of childhood." Aussies Extend Jungle Advance Allied Headquarters, Southwest Pacific, Wednesday, Dec. 1. ? Australian jungle fighters, push ing northward in New Guinea in a two-pronged drive, reached the important trail junction of Bonga on the coast Monday as Japanese forces withdrew with only slight resistance. The drive along the coast con tinued past Bonga, with the Aus tralian infantry supported by Ma tilda tanks moving to the Ka lueng river mouth, just north of the village, controlling an impor tant supply trail to the Japanese outpost at Wareo, Gen. Douglas MacArthur's communique said. Other forces moving on from captured Sattelberg are advanc ing on Wareo after crossing one mountain ridge and a river on the east trail. The land drive to clear the Huon Peninsula of enemy forces and prepare for a possible attack on New Britain Island was sup ported by the naval shelling of enemy supply areas in the Sio harbor area, 50 miles above Fin schhafen. The light warships, probably destroyers, bombared Sio harbor Monday night and before dawn Tuesday, and a headquarters spokesman pointed out that the warships operated in the Vitlaz Strait because Allied airfields have been moved up _lhe New Guinea coast to provide coVer. ? o BEND1X PLANT GETS NEW ARMY-NAVY STAR PRODUCTION AWARD Tetterboro, N.
