THIS TIME, when prince

harkening to the message of good
will from old Judea, we want to
express our earnest wish for a
happy 1942 Christmas season to
all our friends.
stockings in hopes that St. Nicholas
j would fill them with dowries. After
a time, St. Nick and the stocking
hanging custom was incorporated
into the celebration of Christmas.
Another legend says that on
Christmas eve the spirit of St. Nich
olas rode across the land on a great
white horse followed by the hosts
of innocents slain in Bethlehem by
the order of Herod. Children of the
Northland filled their wooden shoes
with oats for the Saint’s horse and
set them outside of the door; in the
morning, providing the children had
been good, the oats were gone and
the shoes were filled with nuts and
apples.
Eventually, the boys and younger
children, the wives and husbands,
and even the grandparents, decided
the girls were getting too much the
best of things; so, they all joined
the International Society of Stock
ing-hangers.
Our ancestors brought St. Nick to
America, where he has grown round
and fat and jovial, traded his great
white horse for eight magic rein
deer, and his pack bulged bigger
and bigger.
This year Santa’s pack may be
minus a few luxury products and
mechanical gadgets, but that doesn’t
matter as long as there are mamma
dolls, sleds and drums and picture
books; toys for the children.

Dear Santa: Bring

Among the thousands of letters
addressed to Santa which never
get to North Pole, one—showing
faith in Santa's kindliness—was
mailed by a youngster in Brook
lyn.
The young one's name was
.Mike. He definitely didn’t want
Santa Claus to miss him. From
his associations with the neigh
borhood gang, Mike thought he
knew how to get results.
He sat down and with pen and
ink wrote a letter to the white-
bearded old fellow. After listing
the toys he wanted, he added:
"You better bring all this stuff or
I'll heat you to a wood pulp.”
Intimidation is not so good.
But do you think Mike got what
he wanted?
