Salt Lake Girl Gets
Early Christmas Gift
From Friendly Soldier
Salt Lake City (U.R) A
19-year-old salesgirl yesterday
wished a Merry Christmas to a
Chicago soldier who provided
an early holiday present when
the needed it most.
Barbara Swindle. Farming
ton, Utah, had left a depart
ment store where she worked
when she found her purse had
been robbed of S50, almost all
her week's earnings.
Next she found a tire on
her car was flat. She couldn't
find anyone to fix it. She walk
ed into a nearby bus station
and was trying vainly to keep
back tears when a soldier
from Chicago persuaded her
to tell him her troubles. Ha
handed her a S10 bill and told
her to get some change so she
could telephone home for help.
When she returned the sol
dier had boarded a bus for
Chicago. ,
A ticket seller told Barbara
the soldier said to "keep the
change and have a Merry
Christmas."
Although she was unable to
find out the soldier's name,
Barbara said "I certainly wish
that soldier, whoever he is, a
Merry Christmas."
The elements carbon, copper,
gold, iron, lead, mercury, silver,
sulfur, tin and zinc were discov
ered before the birth of Christ.

Scnfa ClauSr Ind., Appears Headed
For Busiest Christmas Season on Record
Santa Claus, Ind. U.R) The
little town of Santa Claus ap
peared headed for its biggest
and best Christmas on record
today.
With Santa Claus' big day
only four days away, residents
reported the number of sight
seers and the volume of mail
handled at the local post office
were both running at a near-record
pace.
Important Place
Once again, this little south
ern Indiana village has become
one of the most important places
on the map for the duration of
the Christmas season. Letters
from all over the world pour
into the post office so that they
can be relayed with the "Santa
Claus" postmark on the enve
lopes. Postmaster Elbert S. Reinke,
the Santa Claus of Santa Claus,"
said from 8,000 to 10,000 letters
are receiving the famous post
mark every day and the peak
of the rush is yet to be reached.
He expects a daily load of
125,000 pieces of mail before
Christmas is over.
Reinke also announced that a
9-year-old Rocky Point, N.Y.,
boy, Noel Baxter, has been
chosen as honorary mayor of
Santa Claus for 1956. Noel was
chosen in a nationwide contest
Bond Sales Show
Increase In County
Jackson county residents, dur
ing November, purchased fewer
United States Savings bonds
than in the same month last
year, but the total sales in the
county in 11 months was more
than 3100,000 more than last
year.
Some S75.294 worth of bonds
were purchased last month, com
pared to S87,955 in November,
1954, according to figures re
leased by the state sales director
recently.
The total for the first 11
months this year was Sl,025,742,
compared to S914,029 for the
same period in 1954.
In the state, E and H savings
bond series totaled $2,812,192
last month, according to George
W. Mimnaugh, sales director.
The figure is 6 per cent more
than was purchased in Novem
ber, 1954, in the state. The 11
month total for the state was
S41,475,092 this year, a 25 per
cent increase over last year.
ooen to all children who were
born on Christmas Eve or Christ
mas Day.
The village of Santa Claus
owes its nationwide fame to the
fact that its original name was
too common.
Would Confuse People
Back in 1852, the village, was
called Santa Fe. But, when the
villagers petitioned for a post
office, the postal department
turned them down. There was
already a Santa Fe station in
Indiana and another would
simply confuse people, it said.
The villagers consulted again
and chose Santa Claus. As a re
sult, the town is one of the most
famous communities in the na
tion around Christmas time and
tons of mail flood the post of
fice. A 40-ton statute of Santa
Claus has been erected to greet
the holiday tourists. There is
also a Christmas fairyland, com
plete with a candy castle and a
wishing well. ,
The first passenger train be
tween St. Louis and Kansas City
required 14 hours for the 279
mile trip. Trains now make the
run in five hours.
Library Sfarls Delivery Service
Through an arrangement be
tween Western Union and the
Medford Public Library, shut-in
readers may have library books
delivered to homes.
A nominal fee will be charged
for the service depending on the
distance from the library of the
borrower's residence. Frank H.
Gray, manager of the local West
ern Union office, has prepared a
zoned map of the city indicating
the various amounts required,
ranging from 25 to 75 cents. A
round-trip will be made to re
turn books to the library for an
additional 10 cents.
Persons interested in the serv
ice may call the library and indi
cate the type book desirable.
Library assistants will notify
Western Union when books are
ready for delivery. Because
there are no library funds avail
able, delivery fees will be col
lected from the borrower.
