A little boy had just dropped his chewing gum in Santa's beard and the old gent was a little upset. 'Tell them not to blow bub bles when they're sitting on my lap," Santa pleaded. And he'd like mommies to take special precautions with children who have colds. As he put it: "I'm not leaving town in a hurry, so there's lots of time to wait until the cold goes away. It's not best to come in when your youngsters are sneezing, coughing and blow ing their cold germs all over the place." Santa has ideas, too, about how mommies can prepare their smallest children to meet him for the first time. It breaks him up when the tiny things cry at the first sight of him. He said: "Show them pictures of me and tell them what a gentle, kindly man I am. And tell them my beard is like a teddy bear, nice and soft. Say I wear it because I live in the North Pole and it keeps me ' warm." ! Santa said he has a terrible pain in the neck from chil dren squeezing him too tight. "The bigger children," he complained, "squeeze hard est." A gentle hug is more to his liking. Santa also has a pain in the back. "Many of the children don't speak up and I have to bend way over-almost to my boot-tops-to hear what they'd like for Christmas," he said. "If they speak up in a nice loud voice, my back will be in better shape Christmas night when I have to carry my pack." Some children, according to Santa, are hard to get away from. "This usually happens when the good little boy or girl Club Announces Coming Events Medford Fifty Plus club will meet Friday, December 19, at the Pythian hall at 12:30 p.m. for a short busi ness session followed . by a social afternoon.
