THE GREATEST
CHRISTMAS EDITORIAL
In the Christmas spirit we publish once
more, as we have each year at the holiday
time, that greatest of all editorials en-
titled. “Is There A Santa Claus?” print-
ed for the first time many years ago by
The New York Sun. Its author the late
F. P. Church, for many years was an edi-
torial writer on The Sun.
Is There A Santa Claus ?
We take pleasure in answering at once
and thus prominently the communication
below, expressing at the same time our
great gratification that its faithful author
is numbered among the friends of The Sun.
Dear Editor: I am 8 years old. Some of
my little Friends say there is no Santa
Claus. Papa Says “If You See it in The
Sun. Its so.” Please tell me the truth; is
there a Santa Claus?
Virginia O’Hanlon
115 West Ninety-fifth Street.
Virginia, your little friends are wrong.
They have been affected by the scepticism
of a sceptical age. They do not believe
except they see. They think that nothing
can be which is not comprehensible by

childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance
to make tolerable this existence. We should
have no enjoyment except in sense and
sight. The eternal light with which chil-
dren fills the world would be extinguish-
ed.
Not believe in Santa Claus! you might
as well not believe in fairies! You might
get your papa to hire men to watch in all
the chimneys on Christmas eve to catch
Santa Claus coming down, what would
that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but
that is no sign there is no Santa Claus,
The most real thing in the world are those
that neither children nor men cari see. Did
you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn?
Of course not, but that’s no proof that they
are not there. Nobody can conceive or
imagine all the wonders there are unseen
and unseeable in the world.
You may tear apart the baby’s rattle
and see what makes the noise inside. But
there is a veil covering the unseen world
which not the strongest man, nor even
the united strength of all the strongest
men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only
—faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can
'push aside that curtain and view and
picture the supernatural beauty and glory
beyond. Is it it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all
this world there is nothing belse real and
abiding.
No Santa Claus! Thank God! He lives
and he lives forever. A thousand years
from now, he will continue to make glad
the heart of childhood.

Panhandle and Carson county have lost

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.
He exists as certainly as love and generos-
ity and devotion exist and you know that
they abound and give to your life its high-

would be the world if there was no Santa
Claus. It would be as dreary as if there
were no Virginias. There would be no
such a young age has brought it home to
all “how fleeting is life.” His place in
this community will be difficult to fill. This
newspaper joins with his many friends in
extending sympathy to the loved ones.
Uncle Sam does not respect a newspap-

citizen. This editor has had his peisonal

Universal Oil Co. is an organization geared to the time. World War II
had just been entered by the United States a year ago, but Universal
began stepping up its organization for a war basis.
This firm’s chief object is to contribute in whatever way it can to win-
ning the war and it has adjusted its business to regulations or requests
made by government officials.
Oil is a major factor in the war. Its blessings are appreciated more
than ever as people face mileage and tire rationing. But we know that
the United Nations will be victorious and the day will return when
there will be no restriction on our motor transportation.
