Santa Letters Show
. Kids Have A Heart
*» HARMAN W. NICHOLS
United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON Olt-Santa has a
heart, and so do a Jot of kids. I've
been browsing through Mr. Claus’
mail at the dead letter office.
For Instance:
One little girl, named Eunice,
aged eight, wrote:
"If you get to Korea, Santa dear,
please give those poof childKn
something and forget me. Well get
4 along somehow.”
1 David, also eight, wanted noth
ing for himself but asked Santa
to give a pipe to his daddy who
has a "hurt back” in Korea.
Most of the letters which wind
up at the Post Office marked "in
sufficient address” are posted for
delivery to "North Pole.” The Post
Office does not allow the use of
last names or addresses, but most
kids don’t give that information
anyway.
' } N A little girl named Ruthie asked
Santa for 122.90 to pay for her
mommy’s dental bill and 4 “please
give her some better teeth.”

WANTS MILLION TAX-FREE
Another little girl named Mar
garet, asked for a two-wheel bike
and a million dollars "tax free”.
A nine-year-old named Oscar
said he had been a “fairly” good
boy in school and “please bring
me a tool chest and a ranch.”
The television influence was evi
dent in many of the hundreds of
letters I went through. One boy
named Dickie said he wanted a
“corrall, with horses in it, a ranch
house, a new gun and a lasso.”
Sandra, aged nine, said she had
teen a “pretty good girl”. She
wanted a “good sharp knife, a doll,
and a fancy ash tray.”
A little girl named Nancy asked
for “a piano, a real baby, a set of
drums, a banjo and a singer who
can sing”.
This one, so help me, came from
an eight-year-old named Ferdi
nand:
ANYTHING YOU DON’T WANT
“I've been a good boy except I
knocked hell out of Juntus. I’m
' sorry, but I’m all right. Bring me

anything you have you, don’t want.”
Rusty, aged 10, apparently wants
to go into the garage business. He
asked for a road scraper, three
army trucks, a transport .trailer,
a wrecker-truck, lumber truck, fire
engine, electric train, fire truck,
coal loader, and cattle car.
Some of the youngsters asked
for things that will get the fam
ily out of financial stress.
Like 10-year-old Dickie who
wrote from Bowie, Md„ Where they
have a fine race track.
I quote his letter:
“Please dear Santa—My daddy
could use some new horses to bet
on. Get him a couple and you can
forget all about me.”
Burglar Foiled
At Lucknow Here
Preston Parker, manager of the
Lucknow Clothing Store, reported
to the police that someone had at
tempter to break into his store by
removing two panes of glass after
cutting the screen.
■ The burglar inserted a piece of
wire and fished out a sweatee,
skirt, pair of trousers, two pair of
bedroom slippers, a child’s shirt, a
key-cham and a pair of pajamas.
Nothing had been touched by em
ployes before investigating officers
arrived, and the intruder left some
possible clues to his identity.

Coats High School News
The Coats High School student
body met in the school auditorium
Thursday, November 29. The Glee
Club led in the group singing of
Christmas carols. Mr. Smith, our
principal, talked with us about the
true meaning of Christmas, and
how it should be celebrated.
In the previous years it has been
a traditional custom of our school
to draw names in the classrooms.
This year we have decided to let
our school celebration of Christmas
be In the true Christmas spirit.
Each class has decided to help
some needy family have a white
Christmas. Baskets containing va
rious things will be presented to
them. We feel that such a deed
will help us to have a more enjoy
able 4 Christmas, as it is “more
blessed to give than to receive."
The feeling that Christmas is
near is penetrating through the
air everywhere. It seems that ev
eryone is thinking for Chirstmas.
and the pleasures concerning it.
The classrooms are ringing with
Christmas carols and scriptures
from the Bible are being read by
the students. Pictures have also
been drawn and painted portraying
the birth of Christ.
The chapel program, Thursday,
December 6, was given in the theme
of “Bilent Night.” The Call TO
Worship was given by Dennis Pope
after which was sung ‘‘O Little
Town Os Bethlehem” by the group.
D. C. Ryals gave the Scripture
Reading, after which Edna Avery
quoted a poem. Jo Ann Fox then
led us in praver. The Story of The
Author, And The Hymn. “Silent
Night.” was analyzed by Sue Lang
don. We then had a special num
ber by two of our students, which
was followed with a poem by Clara
Stephenson. The program was con
cluded with group singing.

Erwin Teen Chatter
By GAIL BYRD
Well, did everybody enjoy the
basketball game Tuesday night?
I’m quite sufle .you did! Erwin
played Anderson Creek and it was
really a wonderful game. It was
our first basketball game for this
year. The Anderson Creek girls won
and the Erwin boys won. We want
every one to come to our next
game because we’re sure you’ll en
joy it.
“Jink” Taylor is now flashing a
diamond ring around in every
one’s face. There must be some
thing contagious in the drug store!
First Margie Johnson comes up
with an engagement ring and now
"Jink”. Margie’s getting married |
the 24th of December but I don’t
know when “Jink” will be married.
Good luck to both you gals and
also your fellows!!!
Our school pictures have finally t
arrived! Everybody’s asking every
body for a picture. I saw quite a
few of them and they’re real good
pictures. I’ve collected right many
already and thank “you people”
that gave ’em to me!
Report cards came out today and
most everybody in school was a
dis disappointed with their grades
this month. It could be that we
Just aren’t studying hard enough!!
Oh, boy! bid we have fun Thurs
day afternoon. Frank Weaver. Jr.
got his car and Mary Louise Milby,
Marilyn Steinberg, and I went for |
a ride with him'. The fiiiny part
about it is: the car doesn’t have a
floor board and as we drive along
we can plainly see the road below
us!!!
