Santa Claus Not Honored In Home Town Bari, Italy-IUPD-Santa Claus does not stand a chance in his own town. To millions of children all over the world, Santa Claus is the jolly, bearded type who brings presents by reindeer express in time for Christmas morning. ' But here in Bari, where the bones of good Saint Nicholas lie, the Feast of the Saint has nothing to do with Christmas. St. Nicholas Santa Claus, from a corruption of the Latin "Sanctus Nicolaus" is revered in his last resting place as the patron of chil dren, penniless brides-to-be seamen and prisoners. Christmas day, at least in Italy, is just another day for the follwers of good St. Nick His feast day is December 6 and the event is celebrated with solemn ceremonies by the children and adults in Bari. By tradition, Italian chil dren get presents not from Santa but from La Befana, an old witch who can be nice when she wants to. And not on Christmas but in January. On January 6, Befana swoops in on her broomstick to leave gifts for the good children and coal for the bad children. Nicholas is revered as a good and saintly man who died in Asia Minor in the fourth century. His bones were brought here later and placed in a vault under a sil ver altar in the church that bears his name. Grandmother Club Chapter To Meet Central Point - The Crater chapter, Grandmother Clubs of America, plan their Christ mas meeting in the home of Mrs. Charles Jantzer. 1734 Beall lane, Monday, Decem ber 17.
