Santa Claus Again Is Happy Family Conference Ends Little Town Feud RANTA CLAUR, Ind.. (INS) — Santa Claus Is just one big happy family after a conference table settlement ended the feud that once marred the business harmony of this little town with the magic name. For several years, a sometimes bitter business competition existed between Santa Claus Land, Inc. operated by the Ixiuis J. Koch family, and The Candy Castle, run at first by Milton Harris, and after his death by his widow, Dorothy. The only real fight between the Kocha and the Harrises value over location of the Santa Claus post office, and that fuss went all the way to Washington. At the time Ibis southern Indiana town first gained national nohce through a Ripley "Believe It or Not” column in the late 1920’5, the post office was located in a store building near the Candy Castle. < The building eventually became too small to handle all the letters written by children to Santa Claus, and the mall sent to the little town for postmarking with the famous dateline. The proposal of the Kochs for building a new post office on the 160-acre site of Santa Claus Land's ‘storybook-like park was accepted by the Post Office Department. Harris wrote to • Sen. Homer E. Capehart, fiR-Ind.) demanding an investigation. An inveftjigator found that the bidding and award of the contract was legal and above board, and the Santa Claus post office was moved from the vicinity of the Harris enterprises to that of the Kochs. After Mr. Harris -died, his widow took over operation of the competing enterprise until this Christmas season, when she and Bill Koch, manager of Santa Claus Land, announced an end to the rivalry. T Mrs. Harris leased The Candy Castle to the Kochs and moved to Indianapolis to take a job with the Indiana Toll Road Comjtnls-

It was a heavy responsibility and it got to the place I felt it would do me good to get away.” Although the visitors who crew'd the roads to Santa Claus Land, Ind., may nqfc notice any difference this season, the local townsfolks are conscious of a change.
