It was suggested that the o?- .
,ganizing of the Santa Claus day
could be left in the hands of the.
village organizations as it .Was •
done last year, and 'that the.
business men . would accept' the
financial responsibility - of the
day. Last year's visit from Santa

' was run that way with very'
good success:.

main the , same ' as last year. at"
