f, hnt also an influx of sight

seers unparalleled since the local general store became the "Santa Claus Post Office" in 1856. ( After the inactivity of war vPr. Santa Claus has again

sprung td life in no small way, and is entering an era of continuing growth and further world prominence. Right now, a minor "building boom" is under way, with the development of a new Santa Claus Land children's park and toy center, a new general merchandise store, several new homes and a northward spreading of its town boundaries. New streets of Santa Claus are appropriately named "Reindeer -Star of the East," "Christmas

Qtnr" "KriSS lS.ringlc,

'Wnilv " and t- f

Nicholas." There s aiso "Holiday Boulevard" on which stands the only full-color Santa Claus statue in the world. The post office is jammed. Postmaster Oscar L. Phillips, after calling on several townsfolk for extra help, says it's by far the largest Christmas mailing he's had in his nine years as Santa Claus postmaster. "Already this year we've handled as many as 50,000 pieces a day," Oscar says proudly, and we haven't reached the peak. But Phillips doesn't seem to mind the rush so much as he does his crowded quarters. Uncle Sam is still pondering the ques

tion of moving the oanta w post office from the old store

building to new ana larger ni -

ters, and, connaenuau.v,

hopes it'll happen soon, ine government recently asked for bids on a lareer post office building, but the final decision on its location is still being awaited. Many folks hope it'll be located in the new Santa Claus Land park which is fast becoming a hub of Santa's year 'round attractions. The park, being developed by Louis J. Koch, retired Evansville, Indiana, toy manu

facturer, already boasts of having

thp nlrl eeneral store which serv

ed as the first Santa Claus post

office back in 1856. It is restored as a museum.

But the postal rush is just one Phase of the Yuletide excitement

this year. Roads leading to Santa Claus are jammed daily with cars from all over the country folks who want a closer view of the Christmas-name village and its fairyland attractions. As in former years, thousands bring "their letters and packages to ithe post 'office for remailing with the

cherished "SANTA CLAUS Postmark." Letters sent fourth-class to the Santa Claus Postmaster are also remailed bearing this maeic postmark. Much of the holiday entertainment is provided visitors by the new Santa Claus Land park. Some of the features are a miniature train which visiting tots ride

through the park area; an "Enchanted Trail" of Mother Goose Land characters which appear ife-sized and in full color in their original storybook settings; the main Exhibit Hall, which includes a toy and gift shop and a restaurant with a children's soda fountain. Too, there's old Santa Claus himself, who completes the childhood dream when he appears and, chats merrily with the children. For musical background, the park presents two carillon concerts at 1 p. m. and 4 p. m. daily, during the Yuletide season. Even the closest observers may net discover that Santa's little round belly, twinkling eyes and hearty laughter resemble that of Jim Yellig, nationally-known "Santa Claus of Santa Claus, Indiana." Yellig has played Santa to more children than probably
