He brought them music even though some could not hear tho notes, some could not see the in struments, some could not sing the carols, some could not rise to clap. The heart-tugging scene was Monday's sixth annual Christmas concert by the National Sympho ny Orchestra for handicapped children from 33 Washington area institutions. The children are mentally re tarded, disturbed, blind, deaf, crippled and underprivileged. Some were in braces and some were in wheelchairs. Saata Wears Glasses Toddlers and teen-agers alike, they reacted just like more fortu ' nate children. Their faces melted into excited grins when Santa Claus arrived. ' Five-year-old Coleen Erashear, a cerebral palsy victim, ex claimed with delight, "Santa wears glasses Just like me." The program ranged from lively classical pieces to "Jingle Bells and Christmas carols. When orchestra director Howard Mitchell Invited Santa to play the cello, the children squealed with surprise. , Santa was Maurice Schones, cellist with, the symphony. Deaf and hard-of-hearing child ren were among the most en thusiastic, "They can feel the vi brations," a teacher explained. Remarkable ExperiCBca .

I've never started anything yet that ht eouldn't finish!" Unusual Cat Makes Tree Substitution Necessary GREENVILLE, Mich. (UPI) - Lawrence Roy has a most unusu al Christmas tree because he has most unusual Siamese cat. The family cat, Pat, isn't the saucer of milk type of feline. Pat isn't even the horsemeat type. Pine needles are more in Pats line. ' Roy learned of Pat's peculiar tastes the hard way. He recently set up the Christ mas tree, an evergreen, and the family trimmed it ever so care fully. Pat proceeded to literally cat down the tree, needle by needle. Only (he ornaments and tinfoil icicles remained. The Boy family was aghast. ' Pat added to their astonishment by munching the icicles. Roy decided Christmas simply wouldn't be Christmas without a tree in the living room. - V So he chopped down a wild cherry tree, stripped- of all its greenery by freeiing tempera tures, and set it up where once had stood a gaily decorated evergreen. The ornaments and lights Pat apparently doesn't have the stom ach for them were strung from the leafless branches and some plastic icicles were added. Pat isn't a plastic fancier, either. How does Pat like the new tree? Roy said the cat doesn't mind it at all. Pat climbs happily up the trunk and cuffs away at the tasteless ornaments and plastic icicles. Could be, Roy thinks, that Pat isn't hungry any more. After all, Pat s already had a Christmas feast. , Dog Givi Lift ToSavtDog SAN DIEGO (UPIi-A big dog sacruicea iu me to save a small dog from drowning, the' owner of two pets said today. Ray Robbins said his Welma raner Katie and small Pomerian-lan-Chlhuahua Taco were playing at Mission Bay near their home when an incoming tide .trapped them in the water beyond a fence protecting a wildlife refuge. .

AI'N writer I Hush Mulligan is made of sterner 'stuff. He went professional and lived to say never again. By HUGH A. MULLIGAN NEW YORK (API - I was a II sidewalk Santa Claus. From 9 o'clock on a blustery morning to 6 o'clock on a rainy night, 1 courageously stuck by my chimney on Kilth Avenue, ringing up a cyclone of Christmas cheer with my little brass bcil. By the time I handed back my beard and uniform to the Volim leers of America, my leggings I j were drooping and my sled was dragging. Frankly, I'd had it. My II head rang like the title piece in a J. Arthur Rank movie from all lhat ting-a-ling-ing, and there wasn't the ghost of a hearty ho-ho ileft in my repertoire. I But I had the consolation of I knowing that $17.03 had been .dropped into my chimney to re- I habilitate Bowery derelicts and j support the other charitable w orks I of the Volunteers of America, which annually puts 2,500 Santas on the sidewalks of some 25 cities across the country. My take dtlln't cause any bell ringing down at headquarters. The box had a quota of $16 on even I the worst of days, which shows lhat you don't become a top chim ney Santa overnight. As a matter of fact, you have I to go to college for three nights down on the Bowery to master! I the subleties of the craft things like not leaning on your chimney, and not eating garlic or onions, land not partaking of I lie wassail I bowl during working hours. I graduated magna cum mus- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Free Gift Wrapoinq ? - i at j,': Wood's Drug th and Main il (ache and was assigned a post on Fifth Avenue just outside Tif fany's and hard by Bonwit Teller's. 'Watch yourself in that hoity- toity neighborhood," a fellow San-! ta warned as we stood final in- siicction down at headquarters. 'Last year 1 was outside a ritzy shoe shop, and the manager came out and said 1 was ringing my bell too loud. He claimed it up set the customers." 1 watched myself, all right. Nei ther Tiffany's nor Bonwit's had any complaints about my carillon work, although they did have cer- tain other reservations. It seems lhat while Santa is welcome in spirit at their cash registers, he is ruled off limits in their wash rooms. Collections were slow at the be ginning but picked up around noon when thousands of girls poured out of the nearby office build ings for lunch and a quick round of window shopping. It was a heart-warming sight for the tired eyes of a sidewalk Santa, especial ly since the beard and mustache provide excellent cover for con' centrated girl watching. Invariably they'd spot the dia inond earrings in Tiffany's win-i dow and call out, "Hey, Santa, that's what I want for Christmas. Some said they were even willing to settle for the down payment A luscious blonde saw an ar mored track pull up across the street and immediately made her Christmas wish. Bring me that, Santa," she burbled, "and I'll get my own mink." Minks, diamonds and sports cars topped the list for most girls, although several giggled and asked for husbands, and one, who didn't giggle, asked to have last year's taken back. A boy push ing a garment rack wanted a Eu ropean cruise, a cop asked for something appropriate for the commissioner "like a fall off a ledge" and a horse player put in for "just one fat one at Aqua- duct this afternoon, Santa, and it don't even have to be the double." Kids still get a big boot out of shaking hands with Santa on a street corner, but sometimes the presence of two or more Santas in the same block seems to throw them. "He's my helper," I always ex plained until one high I.Q. speci men tried to trip me up on cross examination. "The other Santa said you were his helper," he said. "I think the real one is down at Maey's." Oh, well, even Santa can't win 'em all. Another tot had his be liefs shaken when he leaned too far out on his noggin. His bawling drew a crowd and elicited some unseasonable remarks from the mother. . As far as. donations go, office girls are the. most generous, . fol lowed by mon in work clothes, teen-agers, women shoppers and small kids. The. . carriage . trade doesn't amount to much, although one French poodle did make a contribution to my chimney that wasn t covered in the regulations. MERRY CHRISTMAS 5 and HAPPY NEW YEAR Big Wheat Crop Seen By USDA WASHINGTON (AP)-The Afiri- culture Department today forecast next year's winter wheat crop at 1,034,486,000 bushels. This estimate based on condi tions of the fall-seeded crop as of Dec. 1 compares with this year's winter wheat crop of 1.117,131,000 bushels and with the 10-year (1949-58) average of 833,697,000 bushels. The 1960 crop was the second largest of record. No forecast was made on tho whole wheat crop winter and spring inasmuch as the spring crop will not be seeded until next spring. But next year's crop would total 1,284,481,000 bushels if the spring crop were equal to this years production of 246 million bushels.
