Born in Patara No plaque marks his birth place, but it is said that the saint first saw the light of day in the ancient harbor of Patara, a for gotten group of ruins in south west Turkey, some 300 years after the birth of Christ. Fact and fantasy surround the life of St. Nicholas. One story has it that on the day he was born he stood up, raised his tiny arms and cried, "I thank Thee, God, that I am permitted to live upon this. Thy earth." He grew up to be a saintly man, and his reputation for sanctity probably gave rise to many of the tales. It was in Pat ara that perhaps the most fam ous of all the legends, and the foundation to the Santa Claus story was born. The tale goes that a local nobleman had three daughters who were all of marrying age, but the family was so poor that they had no dowries. There was not even enough to eat. So one December night Nicholas, a com paratively well-to-do young cit izen, anonymously tossed three bags of gold through the family's window. Act Become Custom This act of charity became a custom that is still followed to day giving at Christmas time. St. Nicholas' famous gifts had effects in a much more unlikely quarter, centuries later. During tne Middle Ages, pawnbrokers, who are not usually associated with the virtue of charity. adopted a sign that has become universal three golden balls. They symbolize the bags of gold mrown by St. Nicholas. After moving to Demre, the saint continued his custom of beginning each day with prayer. One morning when he arrived at the church he was greeted with shouts of "Hail to our new bishop!" Bishop Dies The story goes that the pre vious bishop had died during the night, and when attempts were made to choose a new bishop, there was much disagree ment. In answer to a prayer, a voice told them to "choose as your new bishop the first man who shall enter this church tomorrow morning." And so Nicholas became bishop of the church at Demre. Tales of the Saint's good deeds continued until his death Dec. 6, 342 A. D. He .was buried at the church. Now almost underground the church houses a sarcophagus, supposedly that of the saint, in one of its aisles. Broken figures on top are rumored to have been caused by Italian pirates who rifled the tomb of the saint in the 10th century. ' But two bones were left, and these, along with a picture of the saint, are preserved in the Turkish Riviera town of Antalya. Judge Raps Presley Influence on Youth Albuquerque, N.M.

Charles Broderick, of the Black Mountain Lumber Co., Mental State May Give Accident Clue Ann Arbor, Mich. (U.R) People who have frequent acci dents might find the cause in their own mental state, accord ing to a University of Michigan psychiatrist. Dr. M. M. Frohlich explained that some people hurt themselves "accidentally on purpose" for any number of reasons. The most common, he points out, are to gain affection, to lessen feelings of guilt or to hurt someone close to them. "All of this happens in spite of the person's conscious efforts to avoid accidents, added the doctor. Frohlich described such "acci dent-prone" persons as impuls sive, active individuals who use little deliberation and aren't likely to confide their emotions or inner problems to others. He believes society will never be able to have adequate acci dent prevention programs until these people are studied and evaluated. Failure of Radar Speed Trap Uncovered Lincoln, Neb.

But he still didnt's hear any of those familiar "tank full" whistling noises that tell the veteran oil deliveryman it's about time to stop pumping. So Harding and Green pumped in another 100. By then the oil truck gauge read 385 gallons. But the order called for filling a 135-gallon tank. Then Harding noted another thing about that order: It called for delivery of oil to 323 34th St. NE. and, what do you know, the number on this house where was delivering the oil was 223 34th St. NE.
