Minnesota Lad Is Santa Claus Mayor Michael Langenfeld 1$ Honorary Mayor SANTA CLAUS, Ind- <UPD— A red-haired namesake of the archangel Michael will reign as honorary mayor of Santa Claus Dec. 20-21. Michael Langenfeld, Hastings, Minn., who will be 11 on Christmas Eve, won the annual mayoralty contest held by the Santa Claus Chamber of Commerce. Judges announced the winner today. Michael is one of eight children of Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Langenfeld. His mother, Eleanor, will accompany him on an expensepaid train and plane trip here. She described the new mayor as having “auburn-red hair, blue eyes, lots of freckles and a sense of humor.” The latter was important when Michael broke his leg a few years ago while doing an Indiana war dance. However, his mother said he is not much for dancing. His main hobbies are fishing and iCe skating. He is a sixth grader at the Guardian Angel Catholic School in Hastings. Michael has five older brothers and sisters—Mrs. James Drier, John, Robert and Thomas Langenfeld, all of Hastings, and Miss Maureen Langenfeld, an airline hostess who lives in Los Angeles.

Looking on is Mrs. Suzanne Farrington, Vivien's daughter by first husband, Leigh Holman. Baby is named Neville. wikiiiiir .uM I hJI. ■ * Wk«<- M ? T WORSE THAN A DILEMMA — This trainee bullfighter in Mexico City is on the hom> of something worse than a dilemma. He’s Fernando Velasco, and would you believe it, he came out of this one okay, but later in the day he got gored.

The new honorary mayor is “big brother” to David, 6, and Danny, 3. 750,000 Visitors The Santa Claus judges also selected a police chief. He will be Hilton Reeves, Mt. Vernon, Ind. Hilton, a sixth grader, will be 12 on Dec. 25. Being born on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day within the 12 years is necessary to qualify for the annual campaign staged by this southern Indiana village. Santa Claus is unincorporated but it has a hardworking Chamber of Commerce, including residents of neighboring cities and towns, who join in playing host to an estimated 750,000 visitors who seek opt' the town of the magic postmark annually. For most of Santa Claus’ 106 years, there wasn’t much for the visitors to see except scenery, but now the community boasts a 240acre children's park, restaurants, motels and a ’ post office that looks like a pink fairy castle. Activities centered about Santa Claus now provide employment for 135 men and women, who live in the village or surrounding area. Eighteen persons work part-time to assist the postmaster, Elbert Reinke and his wife, in the handling of 3 l 2 million pieces of mail each year. Reinke, as president of the Santa Claus Chamber of Commerce, will officiate Dec. 21 when the honorary mayor and police chief have a combination Christmas party and birthday luncheon. The children and their parents will arrive at nearby Evansville on Dec. 20 for the start of the festivities. Selecting the winning honorary officials wasn't easy for the three judges. Some of the letters disclosed tragedies for which the award was sought as a palliative. One letter from Belleville, N.J. on behalf of David Hildenbrand, 9. said “there will be no sadder boy than he at Christmas this year because he lost his Dad on the 21st of October.” Another nine-year-old Christmas boy, Jimmy McMichael, Suussvale, Pa. lost his mother a year ago. * ? Others Cited The entire town board of Byram Township, N. J. wrote on behalf of Diane Roth, who will be 10 on Christmas, and whose father also died earlier this year. Two others reluctantly rejected by the judges had extremely apt names for a Santa Claus mayor. They were Stephen Santa, born on Christmas Day, 1950, to Mrs. Stephen Santa, Glassport, Va., and James Allen Holliday, Murphysville, 111. A special qualification mentioned for Beverly Voss, Lead, S. D., was “she is minus her two front teeth.” The thoughtfulln<ess of Patricia Jane HamYnond, Xenia, 0., was cited by her grandfather, Robert Groves, who wrote she is "such an admirer of Santa Claus she wants her mother to hurry up and get well from a siege of chicken pox because she doesn’t want Santa to get them.” l. At least four sets of twins also were among the applicants. • They were Richard Allen and Roger Michael Kejhart, Sylmar, Calif.; Leonard and Leon Ward, Burwell, Neb.; Donald and Ronald Wisdom, Wichita. Kas„ and Mary Charity and John Hope Latham, Indianapolis. One disadvantage of being a Christmas baby was emphasized

by 10-year-old Donald* Lewis Caton, Terre Haute, Ind., whose letter said “my great great grandfather was born on Dec. 27, my great grandfather Dec. 28, my own grandmother Dec. 24 and my own mother’s birthday is De®. 23 ...we never have birthdays with parties and gifts like other people.” But Vicki Sue Chandler, Clarksville, Ind., wrote that to people w r ho come to her and say “Oh, you poor little girl, you got cheated,” she replies “I’m glad I was born on Jesus’ birthday.” Local Students At Fort Wayne Center Many From Decatur Students At Center DeWayne Agler, Robert Banks, Joseph Braun, David Brown, Clarence Chronister, Burdette Custer, Edward Dietch, James Engle, William Gernand, John Hahn, Ronald Hesher, Milton Hoffman, Loren Jones, James Klenk, Mickey McColly, Twanette Magley, Max Meyers, Lester Myers, Sheila Owens, Mary Eleanor Pumphrey, Phillip Rambo, Chalmer Reinking, Marjorie Rentz, Margaret Schnepf, Mara Dee Stricker, Norma Van Stroh, Larry Vizard, Max Wagner, Edward Wolfe, and Jack Zehr, all of Decatur, are among the 1293 students enrolled this semester at Indiana University’s Fort Wayne center. Enrollment at the university’s Fort Wayne center this semester is up five per cent over that for the first semester of last year. Os the 1293 students at the Center, 229 are taking tull-time work and 1064 are part-time students. The center will begin its spring semester Feb. 2. There was an 11 per cent increase in enrollment at Indiana University’s 10 off-campus centers this fall. In announcing the offcampus centers enrollment, dean Hugh W. Norman of the division of university extension said that 14,996 students are now enrolled at the centers as compared to 13,497 last year. The full-time enrollment shows an increase of 27 per cent from last year and the part-time enrollment an increase of 10 per cent. Centers are located in Indianapolis, South Bend, Gary, Jeffersonville, East Chicago, Kokomo, Bloomington, Richmond, Vincenpes and Fort Wayne.
