The Rt. Rev. Msgr. Louis J. Mendelis plans to teU the young sters there isn't any Santa Claus and never was. There will be no "Jingle Bells" ; either. "They have nothing to do i with the birth of Christ," said; Msgr. Mendelis. The parish pastor said he decid ed to expose Santa as a fraud be cause "the businesses are com mercializing Christmas too much." He has two complaints against Santa: ; 1. He frightens the little children ' with his garish red costume and ! false whiskers. ' 2: The older children spot him quickly as a phony. j "We've had some tough exper- j iences .with him." said Msgr. Men-! delis. "In, Tiis place this year we will ; have a striking nativity exhibit.
