Now, it isn't every day that we get a letter from Santa, usually he is the one to receive them, so we're going to re print his letter here and let him speak for us. "From Under The Northern Lights" Mr. Robert Penland, Chairman Christmas Committee Heppner Chamber of Commerce My Dear Robert: H Just want to hurriedly drop this note to ex press my gratitude to yourself, Jeff Carter and the Chamber of Commerce for all the kind assistance given me while I was in Heppner on December 1st, and 15th. The children of Morrow County are wonderful. I have never experienced such a large group of boys and girls who were 60 mannerly and cour teous. It was such a delight io, me to look into their wondrous faces and note their expressions as they unfolded their wishes to "Old Santa". Morrow County may be proud of these boys and girls. ' ' You will be interested to know that there were 78 letters i'n Santa's mail box. Seven of these were from boys and girls in lone, one from a young fellow from Forman. North Dakota and the rest from your town of Heppner. Twelve letters were from little folks who could not write very well, but they scribbled out a letter that had a meaning all the more interesting. These I have assigned to my special helpers for Interpretation. So many did not sign their last names and as I know so many boys and girls by their first name It will be hard to determine their Identity by Christmas Eve. But with the help of their mother and father I will do my best. I read every one of those letters Bob and I am sure that those won derful children will get some of their wishes. As I looked into the happy faces of so many healthy, well dressed children and their proud parents I naturally thought of the five thousand children in Oregon, many of whom have no father and mother to help them at Christmas time, who are dependent upon contributions from the Com munity Chest to give them their Christmas joy. I am so happy to see that Morrow County citizens are assisting in this noble enterprise. I most sin cerely hope that your campaign will be a suc cess. If more people could look into the eyes of these little children within the care of the fourteen children's homes for dependent children and read their pleading expressions, I am sure they would immediately contribute to the fund without solici tation and more generously assist the state and county committees with their financial support. With a "MERRY CHRISTMAS" to all my little ' friends in Morrow County, to their parents, friends and neighbors, I remain, Sincerely, SANTA CLAUS CHURCHES ALL SAINTS MEMORIAL CHURCH (Episcopal) Holp Communion 8:00 a. m. - Church School 9:45 a. m. t Morning Prayer and Sermon 11:00 a. m.

Careful training and observance of safety codes make telephone drivers among the safest on the road today. HOW TELEPHONE DRIVERS GUARD YOUR SAFETY Safe driving is an important part of their job 1. Accidents seldom happen when drivers are properly trained, and strictly observe safety codes. That's why telephone drivers have won awards as mong the safest on the toad. Pacific Telephone drivers can point with pride to their impressive safety record a record achieved when we had more vehicles on the road than ever before, and during the busiest years in our history. 3. Protecting your safety, and the safety of tele phone people, is just one more big responsibility for your telephone company along with providing more and better service. We're proud of our safety record, maintained, as it bis been, through the greatest expansion period in out history. An expansion that has meant adding over 1,800,000 new telephones here in the West since the war. And yet telephone rates have gone up far less than most things, which makes your telephone one of today's best bargains. 2. Exacting performance tests must be passed reg ularly by all telephone employees operating motor vehicles. Under the watchful eye of company exami ners, and with the cooperation of local police depart ments, these road tests stress quick reaction and safe , driving. In addition, drivers must pass physical and eye examinations, as well as written and oral tests which insure a full knowledge of the rules of the road.
