Santa Claus (Ind.) Sets New Mark

Highest Yuletide Business On Record Seems To Be Headed For Picturesque Hoosier Town Santa Claus, Ind., Nov. 22 Santa Claus, the little town that discovered there’s plenty in a name, was working up today to its j biggest Yuletide or/ record. Letters, postcards and packages poured in, by the thousands and visitors came by the hundred as the Indiana town re-established its seasonal claim to fame. Postmaster Oscar Phillips built up his staff with extra workers to handle the huge volume of mail, which he said will top the 1945 record Of more than one million pieces. A large share of the mail is sent to Santa Claus for re-mailing, | so that the famous postmark will appear on’ greetings and gift packages. The thousands of other letters, many of them unstamped, are j dropped in mailboxes iover the country by young hopefuls whose messages to “Santa Claus, North Pole” end up well down in the tem- | perate zone by courtesy of the Post Office Department. The youngsters’ pleas to their yuletide benefactor are turned over to an experienced group of his “helpers”—members of Santa

Claus American Legion Post No. 242, whose efforts to keep everybody happy are directed by commander Jim Yellig. Millions of Americans have seen Yellig in action, for each year he dons his padded red suit out of season to drive his sleigh (motorized) in the Legion’s national convention parades. Mail handling still is the biggest job of the Santa Claus Christmas season. But Louis J. Koch of Evansville, Ind, this year added a new attraction which is drawring tourists to the town on an unprecedented scale. It’s a 40-acre w’ooded children’s park and toy center, which Koch plans to keep open 365 days of the year. In the toy center, children can find a soda fountain, a Santa Claus workshop, a toy and gift shop, an exhibit of antique toys from the United States and abroad and displays by the nation’s leading toy makers. Through the woods winds the enchanted trail, a path one-third

of a mile long which leads past sculptured mother goose figures in their storybook settings. There also is a toy train about 18 inches high and 15 feet long to take tiny tots on free rides. Koch is planning a bigger and better train about four feet high and 505 feet long to take 30 passengers at a time on a “trip around the world.” The sightseeing tour will take them through a tunnel, over a bridge spanning the “Atlantic Ocean” and past small-sized replicas of the Grand Canyon, the Alps and Egypt’s Pyramids. One of the big attractions at the park is a 22-foot, 40 ton granite statue of St. Nick. It is the work of Carl A. Barrett of Chicago who has inscribed this dediction on its tstar of Bethlehem base: “To the chldren of the world in memory of an undying love.”

Poor County Roads

Only 49 per cent of the nation’s 1,928,000 miles of local and county roads have all-weather surfaces.

Air Sickness

Persons who get air sick in airplane flights, or who grow sick at high mountain altitudes may need extra riboflavin, one of the B vitamins, according to recent tests at the California Experiment station. Riboflavin is found in milk, as well as in several other foods. Riboflavin is needed by the boa’’ to bum starches and sugars, ih high altitudes with low atmoepheric pressure, the human body must bum carbohydrates faster than at lower elevations, and so needs extra* supplies of riboflavin. If the person does not eat enough riboflavin, airsickness is the result.

Dry Salt

To keep salt dry, place it in a container nnd leave it near the pilot tight on the stove* overnight.
