l WASHINGTON, Dec. 13—(AP)—
I A new scale of railroad rates on ce

Esoutheast quarter - cof the TUnited
' Sates. Railroads were instructed to
{make it effective April 14, 1928,

!truck load of happy little folks in
“Listen Lady.” and two Chevrolet
icoaches in the Dispatch circulation
contest. A number of other individual
!cars were in the parade.
i On the stand tonight where Santa
"Claus has to meet the throngs and
shake hands wih them, all arance
‘ments will be made for everybody to
come who may wish and at the same
time pass in orderly manner. The
novelty of shaking hands with Santa;
will furnish a real thrill for those |
who get the opportunity. '
" The schedule as planned by the lo
cal Legion members went through
’withouf a hitch. Santa was here
through the courtesy of the Atlaata‘
Journal. He was on a visit to Atlanta
and came on the very urgent mviia-l
tion by the American Legion. He was
cordial, friendly, interested in e\'eryl
little soul—just like Santa Claus nhas
always seemed to be in our pictures of I
him. He was a rare visitor—rare in
deed. He never made a daylight visit
to this community before in all his
long career. But for the visit to the
Atlanta Journal he wmight never have
come this time. And but for the in
sistent appeals of the local Legion pnst
for a share of the honors of having
him while he is visiting, he still might
not have come, for a hundred or more
Georgia towns were doing their bhest
to get him when he jromised to come
here. He had to deny many of them,
for he goes 'soon on his long, long
ride around the world for Christmas
Eve.
The parade was over shortly after
three thirty thisi afternoon. The re
cepticn at the lot opposite the post of
fice building will be on for several
hours tonight and all the sights—!he
Eskimos and the dogs and the rein
deer wil be visited and and inspected
by many more thousands.
A reception tonight from seven
thirty to nine-thirty will close the
wigit here. The troupe, some ten
jl»c'ar:nns in all, will leave on the west
