Claus Is a Busy Town Christmas Is Near Mail Floods Indiana Village And There s A Real Saint Nick This Year SANTA CLAUS, Ir4-(AP) My. my, but Santa Claus Is busy thee days) Tbftre are so many children's let ters to be read, so many visitors to be entertained, and so many gifts to j be prepared, that all In ail, there's , not a minute to be wasted. And If It weren't for J. F. Martin, Santa Claus postmaster, and help from the 60 persons In this village. Santa Claus would hardly get all the work done before Christmas eve. Where Banta Letters Go Of course, you understand, this Santa Claus Is only a town nestled in the southern Indiana hills. But It does a good share of the work for old Saint Nick for children1 from all part of the nation write to Santa and the letters are delivered here. Many of theJr parents, and even business firms send psckages to this village and have them mailed Just before Christmas so they will bear the "Santa Claus" postmark. Every day a be whiskered Santa Claus in a red suit may be seen at work in the headquarters here wrap ping toys, and gifts and reading mall. He is Perry Ballou of Philadelphia who came to Santa Claus in Septem ber to assist Postmaster Martin with the work that must be done before Christmas. Fewer Letters This Year Santa Claus, however, Is feeling the depression this year, Postmaster Martin says a bit sadly. Both Postmaster Martin and his assistants have read more sorrowful letters from the kiddles than usual. A little girl has written asking that she be sent some bed clothing for enrtstmas. That Is all she wants. Other children will be satisfied If they get clothing and a little candy, they write. Years of experience enabled post master Martin to tell whether a child's letter contains its own thoughts, or has been dictated by parents. Santa Claus, Ind., gained worldwide fame less than ten. yeara ago. It all started when a California stamp collector suggested to postmaster Martin, who has been on the Job thirty years, that the name of the village be changed from the one word "Saijtaclaus," to "Santa Claus." The place is almost 90 years old. . Last year, so much mall.was sent here for re-mailing that a movement was started in Washington to rename the postoffice. So many protests were made, however, wlttfi newspap ers writing editorials about it and people writing letters, that the effort was abandoned. Santa Claus still is on the map.
