Post Office employees in the more
than 400 post offices in Huron Division
(southwestern Ontario) are once .again
busy in an annual labor of love - helping
Santa Claus with his Christmas corres-
pondence. This year, Canada Post
expects to handle letters from more
than 50,000 girls and boys (and a, few
adults) in the area on behalf of the jolly
old fellow.
Canada Post has helped Santa answer
more than 1.5 million letters since the
Santa Letter Program was inaugurated
on a, .cross-country basis in 1982. The.
program was • meant to. enhance local,
individual efforts that had been going
on for years, and to give ,children in
many parts of the country an opportun-
ity to get a letter from St. Nick for the
first time. Toward that end, replies have
been prepared in several languages (in
addition to English and French) includ-
ing ' Polish, Portuguese, Vietnamese,
Dutch and Chinese. When postal offic-
ials learned that -several children .at-
tending a school for the blind in Brant-
ford had written to Santa, replies were
prepared and sent back in braille.
For the most part, letters to Santa are
culled, from the mail stream.; although'
several post offices have set up a box
especially for Santa's mail in the lobby.
In 18 cities and towns in Huron
Division, letter Farriers. marching in
local Santa Claus parades are collecting
thousands of letters from thesmall fry
along the parade route.
For their part, children wishing to
write to St. Nick are asked to be sure to
include a return address (and 'postal
code) and to be sure to get their letters
in no 'later than Dec. 13 (to ensure
Santa's reply gets back to them before
Dec. 25! ).
Santa's address, is: Santa Claus,
North Pole, Canada,' HOH OHO..

month before that jolly old St. Nicholas will
be coming down the chimney with goodies
and his jolly Ho -Ho -Ho for everyone.
This colunlWist came across a list of
things that would be advisable for •-a
motorist to carry in his vehicle•in the winter
months. The first is tohave enough gas so
when stranded you may have some heat.
Then there are items such as a'shovel, salt,
sand or kitty litter, steel, pads or a piece of
old carpeting' for traction, booster cables,
towline or chain, first aid 'kit,, flares,
-flashlight, blanket or sleeping bags,
candles, waterproof matches and a pot or
coffee can to melt snow' for drinking, a
transistor „ radio and nonperishable high
energyfood such , as chocolate bars or
sugar, Carrying a can of quick, start can
really help if there happens to be•water in
the gas. Good. luck motorists and safe
driving.
