(Rob Bandy photo) Post Office plays Santa Canada Post Corporation employees, who . last year volunteered to answer close to 800,000 letters Santa ' Claus received from children across Canada and other parts of the world, are geared up to do it again this year. "As in previous years, every child who writes a letter to Santa, addresses it correctly and includes a return ad- dress, will receive a reply from the North Pole," said Helene Labelle, this year's national coordinator at Canada Post for Santa's letter writing program. The program had a modest debut in 1973. That was when a handful of postal employees across the country answered a few thousand letters ad- dressed simply to "Santa Claus" — while several thousands more were ad- dressed to him in care of particular department stores and delivered to those stores. The Santa Letter Writing Program gained in popularity annually and, due to the ever-increasing number of letters received, became an organized nation- wide project in 1982. Last year, 8,516 postal employees volunteered their personal time to reply to the nearly 800,000 letters. They were assisted in their letter writing endeavours by senior citizens, com- munity and professional groups across the country. The program is also part of Canada Post Corporation's support for improv- ed literacy among children. It promotes correct addressing of letters and the use of the postal code. It enhances the magic of Christmas by ensuring that each child who writes a letter to Santa Claus gets a reply from him. Letters to Santa should be sent to the following address: Santa Claus North Pole Canada HOH OHO The latest St. Helen's Shoot Party was held recently with four tables of players.
