light that glows softly in the
dark, and a dial that lights up
when you lift the receiver. ...
Mother, of course, in her bed
room, sister in her chatting
»ook, or Dad beside his easy chair! The Princess phone
takes hardly any room at all, is light in weight and pretty
in look at There aren’t many shopping days left ’til
Christmas, so you’d better give us a ring right away to
arrange for these delightful gifts.

Letters To
Santa Claus
I am a little girl six years
old and in the first grade. My
mother is writing this for me
because I cannot write real
good yet.
Will you please bringing me
a doll, basketball and goal, some
games to play with and some
clothes. Don’t forget my little
brother Mike, who is three
years old. He wants a guitar,
cowboy suit and boots and a
gun and holster.
Don’t forget all the other
boys and girls especially those
that do not have a mother or
daddy.
Santa. I will leave you some
cake and a Coke under the
tree.
Love,
Viki Anne Cody
Dear Santa Claus,

the year. Please bring me a race
track and racers, Something for
my train. Coke machine, a gum
bank, and space rocket.

Santa To Visit
University Os
Georgia Center
The feel and smell of Christ
mas are in the air at the Uni
versity of Georgia’s Center for
Continuing Education, as final
plans are made for the fourth
annual Christmas Festival.
Santa Claus will make his visit
beginning on Dec. 15 and con
tinuing through Dec. 23.
All performances of the new
Christmas Festival play, “Once
Upon a Christmas Time,” have
been reserved by school groups
and by groups of employees of
area industries, except for the
shows on Dec. 21, 22 and 23.
Those are being kept open for
the public, for families and
individuals. The public per
formances on those three days
will be given at 1:30, 2:00 and
3:30 p.m.
No advance reservation is
needed for the public perform
ances, but Center officials sug
gest arriving a little early to
be sure of getting in. The pop
ularity of the previous festivals
brought thousands of children
to the Center, normally the
hub of the University’s state
wide adult education program.
This year’s festival also in
cludes Christmas workshops in
the lobby area, where children
will hear Christmas songs and
stories and make souvenirs to
take home with them. Strik
ingly beautiful decorations —
different every year—are an
added attraction at the Geor
gia Center.
The original play, written by
Shirley Slater of the staff of
University Station WGTV. is
about Peilimore, King of Car
amel, who forgot about Christ
mas and forbade Santa Claus to
enter the kingdom. There is
also a character named Snap
dragon, the ‘bravest dragon in
the world,” who is afraid of
nothing but the dark. The mu
sic, for the most part, is au
thentic medieval music with
some special lyrics written for
the play.
U. S. railroads receive less
than 1 1/2 cents for moving the
average ton of freight a mile.
This compares with 6 cents for
motor carriers and 24 cents for
air carriers, the Association of
American Railroad* reports.
