I For the. answer to this common | belief about Santa and Christmas, ' we must go back to Saint Nicholas, responsible for so mar.y other cus toms related to Christmas. t There' 8 a story about an impov erished nobleman who was unable | to find husbands for his three daughters because he could not af ford a dowry for each. He was about to sell the daughters into slavery when St. Nicholas heard about it. Silently, Old Saint Nick dropped three bags of gold down the chimney. A11 three daughters soon married and lived happily ever after. Thereafter, Saint Nicholas was often pictured holding three bags of gold. It is thought that he died about 343 A.D. and historian^ say that for 30 days after his death his genial spirit roamed the earth, filling the hearts of mankind with love and generosity. It could be said that St. Nick and Dr. Clement Moore, who wrote "A Visit From Saint Nicholas" CALVES NEED NO MILK when1 you use PURINA NURSING CHOW.. See the Live Demon stration in our store today.

Saint Nick was a tall, angular man who rode a bony gray mare. He hadn't been in America long, however, before he had a new name, a new face, figure and a new and better mode of trans- , portation. ,| The early English settlers in thif , country started Santa's "new look'*] process. They adopted the legend-' ary figure from the Dutch, but couldn't pronounce . "Saint Nicko lous." The best they could do was "Santa Kalouf,*.' which was cor rupted to "Santa Claus." In 1809, Washington Irving in hla "Knickerbocker's History of New York," changed Santa's physical appearance by describing him as a jolly fellow with a broad-brimmed hat and huge britches. He also taught St. Nick to smoke a pipe, and traded his hay burner for a wagon. Clement Moore in his famous poem, "The Visit From Saint Nich olas," went even further. He gave Saint Nick a sleigh, twinkling eyes, checks like roses, nose like a cherry and a round little belly. Future writers may try to trade Prancer and Dancer off for a jet ship and trim down Santa's waist line. It will be a tough job, for, though he isn't streamlined, Santa pleases the young folks and that' mighty important.
