Orange County's Oldest Newspaper Established in 1870 Published Every Thursday VOL. LXXXIX, NO. 28 11 LETTERS TO SANTA Trains and Dolls Wanted Most from Jolly St. Nick Man of the year, every year, at this time of year, is one white whiskered, merry eyed gentleman known to every man, woman and child as Santa Claus. If children had been allowed to vote last month it's a safe bet that Santa and all his helpers would be moving into the White House next month. Certainly no president, king or movie star receives more mail during the month of December than the good Santa Claus. Anaheim children are no different than children the world over. They, too, write their letters to Santa and believe he will make all their dreams come true. Some of the letters Santa received from local children are printed here enabling you to look over Santa's shoulder and see what a load will be in his pack in just a few more short days. Young Nicky Maule wrote to Santa and explained carefully why he wanted each item on his list when he wrote: "I'm asking for a 80 powered telescope because I want to look at space. I'm asking for shelves Chamber Picks Leader for 1961 IN SAN FRANCISCO fo Fame award to the late e bers of his family. Showe Kuchel, Mrs. Henry Kuch Kuchel is now co-publishi California newspaper, wh printed here enabling you to look over Santa's shoulder and see what a load will be in his pack in just a few more short days. Young Nicky Maule wrote to Santa and explained carefully why he wanted each item on his list when he wrote: "I'm asking for a 80 powered telescope because I want to look at space. I'm asking for shelves because I want to put toys on them. I'm asking for a coat so I can wear it." In the same envelope there was a letter printed by Stephen; it can only be supposed he is Nicky's brother. He carefully printed: "My name is Stephen, and I am 7 years old. I have been a good boy all year. Here is my list you can bring me. A marine suit, new fighting lady, super market, scenic express, play house, Tom Thumb propeller, camera, thunder cap." In Code Maybe Typically, the next letter writer, a little girl, doesn't tell Santa her age, and unless Santa can read numbers in the same way others read letters he is going to be in trouble. Little Nancy Paulius painstakingly printed on lined paper the following message to Santa: "14-49N4186" followed by a "40" then "49" then "N3530" and signed her name. Santa suspects young Rocky Eugene Bower had some help with his letter which said: "Dear Santa Clause, I am three years old and my name is Rocky Bower. I have tried to be a nice boy so you would bring me a Mr. Machine, silly puddy in a egg, a little brown bear and a toy chest to keep all my nice toys in, and Dear Santa would you please bring my little brother a toy train too, and maybe, if you might have another one you could bring me one. Thank you very much Santa Clause." North Pole, New York In the next, and final, letter Santa got today, little Sherry HOWARD LOUDEN Directors of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce have elected Howard Louden, publisher of the Anaheim Bulletin, as chamber president for 1961. He succeeds Walt Taylor, head of the lumber company bearing his name.

Social Security Rules Aid More Mothers, Widows Social Security benefits may now be paid to survivors of workers who died before January 1, 1940. If the worker had at least a year and a half of social security work when he died, says Ralph A. Dillman, Santa Ana district manager of the Social Security Administration. Before the social security amendments of 1960, no monthly benefits were payable to the survivors of a worker who died before 1940. Under the new law, if a worker had social security credit for at least a year and a half, benefits may now be payable to his widow (and dependent mother) if age 62 or older, to his dependent father at age 65, and to his disabled children if they became disabled before they reached age 18. This is even true if the family had collected the "lump sum" at the time the family breadwinner died.

Folk Dances Will Highlight Meet Two Forces Join To Fight Holiday Drinking Drivers The combined efforts of the California Highway Patrol and State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control will be matched against the problem of drinking drivers in the coming holiday season. Patrol Commissioner Bradford M. Crittenden revealed this week. ABC Director Malcolm E. Harris and Crittenden agreed to a joint program for the fifth consecutive year. "Our cooperative efforts have achieved favorable results in the past, and we expect even greater success this year," the commissioner said. Investigators of the ABC again "will work closely with the patrol in an aggressive campaign to enforce against the excessive drinking problem, both on and off the roadways," Harris added. Crittenden pointed out that "even though stringent enforcement measures are desirable, the ultimate responsibility remains with the driver who, for his own safety, and the safety of others, must realize the inherent danger in operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. "Our public information program will be directed to every corner of the state to gain increased awareness of this problem as the holidays draw near."
