Santa. 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.
