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.
