Letters To Santa
Begin Arriving
For Publication
Memories of friends and family
gathered around the dinner table
for the annual Turkey Day festivi-
ties are still with each of us and
we begin to not’ce an overall
change for the better in the be-
havior of the youngsters.
Then with a bit of mental math-
matics we add two and-two and
vet the answer that Christmas and
the annual visit of Santa Claus is
not far away.
Many of Panhandle’s youngsters
are setting aside a few minutes to
drop a note to Santa to remind him
how good they have been and drop
i hint or two of gifts they would
like to have him bring to them.
As customary, the Herald will
publish all letters to Santa Claus
• Ych the 7 'Orei e and will then
forward them to Santa at the North j
Pole.
