Santa Hails
(Continued from Page 9)
it was best never to make promises
or tell fibs. While he was still
green, a girl asked him about a
little red wagon she had received
the previous year.
“Yes,” said the unwary Kuhn, “I
remember that little red wagon.”
“Hah,” said the girl. “I tricked
you. I didn’t get no little red wa
gon.”
Now Kuhn professes a bad mem
ory and only a hazy view of the
future. “We will see what we can
do,” he says.
Kuhn does not claim to be Santa
or a Santa helper, nor does he
deny it. But he dresses in a Santa
suit, one of five which Mrs. Kuhn
has made for him from red velvet.
Each cost about $100.
He Knows Children
Father of seven, and grandfather
of 11, Kuhn knows children well.
And he acts like Santa Claus
throughout the year. He hands out
candy -all year long, or nickels to
youngsters who catch him without
a supply of candy.
In addition to tending his apple
orchard, Kuhn also works as a se

into the hearts of the world?
Could you transplant a little of
the feeling of holly, the glistening
tinsel, the angels atop the Christ
mas trees, the off-key Noels and
the hushed hymns, the streetcor
ner replicas of you, to those who
are spending their first Christmas
away from that . . . and, especially
... to those who never noticed it
before?
Could you remind us all that it’s
a birthday we’re celebrating, not
just an expensive respite from the
rest of 'the year?
Could you put in our Christmas
cards and in our packages the mes
sages and the warmth we really
mean instead of the shopworn sen
timent and the same old gifts?
Most of all, Mr. Claus, eould you
make sure that we’ll never outgrow
you . . . that Christmas will always
be a way of life and that you’ll be
staging it always?
I think you will because, though
you’ve seen central heating replace
the chimney, you’ve learned that
America’s front door is left un
locked each Christmas Eve. There
is still room for the manger and
the sleighbells in the age of auto
mobiles and atoms. So don’t ever
go mechanized, Mr. Claus.
Sincerely yours,
LOIS
