Santa Speaks
While attempting to write a Christmas editor
ial, what should we receive but a letter from Santa
Claus. a genuine one too! 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

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.
