Note To Santa: Boys Want Jet Planes, Girls Toy Pianos
SANTA CLAUS ,Ind., -i!P)
If Santa Claus makes his rounds
in a jet plane this Christmas, you
can be sure he took a hint from
the youngsters.
"Almost all the boys want jet
planes this year," said Santa,
looking up from his big stack of
letters. They've been coming in at
the rate of 2,500 a day at Santa
Claus postoffice.
"A surprising number of girls
are asking for toy pianos," he
announced.
Last year Santa and his help
ers answered .30,000 letters, and
"I know you want to help
Mama, but we must let the
dial return by itself." . . .

postmaster Elbert Reinke thinks
the number will go higher this
year.
Helpers are members of the
Santa Claus committee of t h e
American Legion post here, as
well as high school student typ
ists. During the year, Santa some
times calls him self Jim Yellig.
But in December he hasn't much
time for his restaurant business
in nearby Mariah Hill.
"When I put on my outfit I
live the part. I AM Santa," he
said. And sure enough, his beard
is as white as snow, and he's so
fat he shakes like a bowlful of
jelly when he laughs.
"No matter where I walk, the
little hands go up waging," h e
said.
