Santa gets help from postal. elves More than 500 postal volunteers and postmasters in southwestern Ontario will be helping out a certain bewhiskered old gentleman again this year by making sure that anyone who writes to him will get a let- ter from Santa. All that's required on the part of the young writers is a return address (very important) and Santa's proper postal address: Santa Claus, North Pole, Canada, HOH OHO. Last year, more than 45,000 'letters from Santa found their way to children in the region, whether they lived' in large cities like Windsor, London or Hamilton, in small hamlets like Bornholm or Blytheswood, or out in the countryside. This year, with more than 400 post offices involved in the program, it's hoped that another five to ten thousand letters will be sent on behalf of•the jolly old elf.

Canadians consider themselves wealthy compared to these starving. In fact, as the Christmas season draws near, the plight of some of our neighbors here in Hpron County is drawn to our attention. While most Huronians will be enjoying a festive Christmas dinner with turkey and all the trimmings, there are the less fortunate who are unable to enjoy such a repast. However, the untiring efforts of some citizens in Huron will ensure a traditional Christmas for those in need. This year, Suzi Symes of Goderich is heading up what has become an annual institution, the Christmas Bureau, one of the volunteer programs of Family and Children's Services of Huron County. Peggy Rivers, co-ordinator of volunteer services for Family and. Children's Services, says the annual bureau is operated for families with children under 16 who need help at Christmas. She emphasizes that those benefitting from the Christmas bureau are not necessarily Family and Children's Services clients. Families requiring assistance are usually referred to the bureau by other agencies or professionals. The salaries of management level Mrs. Symes says a form has to be filled employees of the Huron County Board of out giving some information on the family, Education have been brought into line with but no ways and means test is conducted. their counterparts across the province.
