Relates Reindeer
Story for Benefit
Children Tonight |
(Continued From Page One) j
two things worry him a lot: His
Alaskans friends cannot stay
with the reindeer all the time \
to teach them real good manners,
and the frothy-white moss which
reindeer love in winter is gett
ing scarce in many places.
There are Lots of Reindeer
There were only 26,251 rein
deer in 1910, about 100,000 esti
mated to be here in 1921; but
now there must be more than
550,000. Neither Santa, his Al
askan friends, nor the govern
ment like to see hungry reindeer.
That is one reason Santa was
glad when his Esk mo friends
used more than 3,000,000 pounds
*
of reindeer last year, and over
30,000 skins. But, of course, he
wants people to be secure and
happy, not only at Christmas
time, but eve y day. He has lik
ed to see the government help
people, and pe pie help the
government to realjze a more
abundant life for poor people
through their use of reindeer.
But let me tell you the real
reason Santa decided to use Don
ner and Blitzen again this year.
It was because they did a splen
did thing, and symbolize the
Chirstmas spirit.
Last spring they wandered al
ong the coast, from Ugashik to
Barter IsJand; of course you
knowi they can run no faster
than other reindeer, except at
Christmas time. They looked at
lives—at poverty, and plenty, at
hope and black despair, at abun
dant health and cruel sickness,
at knowledge and at ignorance.
But they passed by. They said:
‘‘We must take Santa Claus on
his Christmas trip; we cannot
delay.”
But the snow came, wet and
chill. It lodged upon their coats
and froze. The ground became a
sheet of ice. covering the moss
with a glistening armor they
could not break. The cold en
dured, with no respite, until at
last they despaired of life. And
the raw north wind blew merci
lessly.
They came to the igloo of old
Wassili, a sod igloo, moss
grown, cracked, and bleak. Lean
poverty stalked there. But peo
ples’ hearts were in this home,
too. Wassili came to them, feeb
le wife and many children with
him, and welcomed them. They
had no food for themselves; they
took the sod from their roof,
thawed it by the flame of their
last seal oil and fed the travel
ers abundant moss.
Then Donner and Blitzen knew
they could lake Christmas spirit
across the world forever. They
offered themselves to these poor
people. “Let our coats keep you
warm”, they said. “Let us give
you life.” But old Wassili re
plied, “I have three seals cach
ed on a distant beach. I am not
able to get them, for I am not
strong. But if you will help me
with them over the rough trails,
my family will have food.”
This was dene forthwith. And
that is the real reason Donner
and Blitzen are with Santa Claus
tonight.
