In his 1600 years on earth—
Santa Claus has grown a long,
white beard, ,moved from. a
small village in Asia Minor to a
toy factory at the North Pole,
and changed from flowing robes
into a red and white furry suit.
He's gotten sjibrter, rounder,
,and much, much merrier.
The original Santa Claus was
born in Patras, Asia Minor.
Young Nicholas—instead of be-
ing interested in games and lila"-
-devoted
lay—devoted himself to the -study
of 'the Scriptures. Because of
his remarkable boyhood, he was
later accepted as the patron
saint of children.
Being of very rich parents,
Nicholas was able to share his
wealth with others. He found
particular joy in providing gifts
for children, or the dowry nec-
essary to start a needy young
woman on the road to a happy
marriage. His travels brought
him to the large City of Myra,
where he was consecrated Arch-
bishop.
St. Nicholas died on Decem-
ber 6, about 341 A.D but
not before he had saved a ship
from a threatening storm with
his prayer, found a way to feed
all the people of Mydra during
a famine, and deposited three
bags of gold upon the doorstep
of a poor rherchant.
Today, there is hardly a sea-
coast city in any predominantly
Catholic country that does not
have a chapel dedicated to him.
He is the patron saint of bank-
ers, pawnbrokers, maidens, chil-
dren, mariners, scholars • • ,
and even thieves!
Europe has always celebrated
St. Nicholas Day on December
6, and this is the traditional
day of gift -giving. But, in the
New World, St. Nicholas gave
up his own day and became a
well -loved part of the Christ-
mas celebration.
Dutch settlers brought Santa
Nikalaus to New Amsterdam
(now New York). At first he
appeared to look like Father
Knickerbocker. History re-
searchers tell . us that Thomas
Nast, famed cartoonist, period-
ically dressed his Santas in suits
of red, white and blue fora pa-
triotism's' sake.
Washington Irving described
the' merry gift -giver -as a tubby
little fellow with a jolly man-
ner who sped through the air
on a reindeer sleigh.
From thisinterpretation came
the basis for Clement. Clark
Moore's beloved "A Visit From
$t Nicholas. Dr. Moore, pro-
fessor at a New York, theologi-
cal seminary, composed the
poem for his' children, who first
heard it on Christmas Eve, 1822.
"He .dressed all in furs from
his head to his foot, and his
clothes were all tarnished with
ashes and soot . . . he was
chubby and plump, a right jolly
old elf, and I laughed when I
saw--him-.-in- sp.ite__of__myseif."
' This was how Dr. Moore saw
Santa Claus and, thanks to his
vivid characterization, this is
how children all over North
America' have pictured him ev-
er since.
The laughing man with the
big heart adds to the joy of
Christmas, for children every-
where .. . . but what happens
to the child who huddles on
the stairway watching for Santa
till his eyelids drop?' Or the
child who doesn't see footprints
in the snow on Christmas morn-
ing? Or the child who has been
told there is no Santa Claus?
For him, Christmas becomes
a sad time. A little girl named
Virginia once wrote to a news-
paper editor, asking him to help
solve • the puzzling problem of
Santa's existence.it i
V g nra re-
ceived an answer that has be-
come a classic in journalism.
The Saga of Santa ' has ac-
quired many satellites through
the years. Some. peoplebelieve
that, in addition to his gifts,
the ancient Bishop carries a
bundle of birch rods in order
to punish the naughty children
as well as reward the virtuous.
The youngsters of Holland
are taught that Santa travels
with a sinister demon who does
Old Saint Nick's "dirty work."
The French remember him
as Pere Noel, the Germans as
St. Nicolas, ,who fills shoes with
goodies, and the Norwegians as
Kriss Kringle. To children .. .
he is excitement, generosity,
surprise and fun, all wrapped
up in one jolly package. The
Saga of Santa is one they never
tire of hearing! .

Canada's dairy industry, a
billion dollar a year enterprise
in terms of product sales, ap-
pears headed for clear sailing
after a spell in the doldrums
which saw huge surpluses of
butter , pile -up.
There is reason for ,the air
of optimism which surrounds
all segments of the industry:
consumption and production
levels "are- back -in balance, the
stocks of surplus . butter and.
butter • oil have been sold
abroad, domestic consumption
of butter is again on ' the up-
swing after hitting a low ebb
in 1961, and there is a strong
demand at home' and abroad
for most dairy products:
The dairy problem emerged
in 1958, due in part to a sharp
increase in the price of butter
(to 64 from 58 cents a pound)
and in part to concern . at that
time about the dietary use of
butter and other animal fats.
The price increase had the
effect of increasing milk and
butter 'production and, in con-
junction with the dietary con-
cern, reducing consumption of
butter. The result was an an-
nual butter surplus. From a
level of 19.4 pounds in 1957,
per capita consumption skidded
to 15.8 pounds in 1961.
With the introduction of a
subsidy of 12 cents a pound in
1962 which reduced consumer
prices, there has been a dyna-
mic change in the butter con-
sumption trend.
From 1961's low .of 290 mil-
lion pounds, consumption has
risen steadily and the estimat-
ed figure for 1964 is 364 mil-
lion pounds. The 74 million.
pound increase is the equivalent
of 1.7 billion pounds of milk,
or more than the amount used
annually for cheddar cheese.
Butter consumption and pro-
duction is expected to be in
close balance in 1964 for the
second consecutive year.
- Milk production by Canada's
2.9 million cows is expected to
total 18.4 billion pounds for
1964, little changed from the
previous two years. Although
the average output per cow ,has
risen to about 6,330 pounds in
1964, from 6,140 in 1961, the
number of cows has dropped
by nearly 100,000 from the 3
million on farms three years
ago. The higher production rate
is attributable to improved feed-
ing practices and the use of
better stock in herd improve-
ment progrtams.
Any increase in milk produc-'
tion in the past three years
have generally been absorbed
History teacher was bearing
down on disarmament and
peace.
"How many _the_.class ills-.
like war?" she asked.
Many hands went into the air.
She singled out a boy and said,
"All right, John, you tell us
why you don't like war."
- "Because wars make history,"
Johnny replied' seriously.

by the fluid milk trade which
has shown a fairly steady in-
crease in direct proportion to
the gain in population. -
World demand and, prices for
skim milk powderhave brought
domestic prices foabout sev-
en cents to approximately 16
cents a pound in just three
years. Production in- 1964 is
expected • to climb to 200 mil,.
lion.• -pounds, -the- -second- high-.
est amount on record: Exports
will be close to the 40 million
pound mark.
The ice cream market also is
showing substantial gains, with
the rate of consumption . out-
stripping the rate of increase
in population. This year's pro-
duction should be around 50
million gallons, five per cent
more than last year.
Keen domestic and export
markets for Canadian cheddar
cheese should result in a 1964
production level of 142 million
pounds as compared to 137 mil-
lion. last year. Domestic con-
sumption, which has passed the
19(1' million pound level since
1962,' this year is expected to
reach a new high of 107 mil-
lion pounds. In addition, con-
sumption of other Canadian
cheeses should reach 16 mil-
lion pounds in 1964, more than
double the ,amount eaten in the
early 1950's.
Just as milk and other dairy
products contribute to the nu-
trition and health of Canadians,
a '.buoyant dairy industry is a
major factor in the nation's ec-
onomic health.
Sales of milk last year by
Canada's 300,000 dairy farmers
brought ,them a collective re-
turn of $509 million; and kept'
some 33,000 employees in more
than 1,700 processing plants
busy turning out pwroducts with
a retail sales value of over $1
billion.
Expenditures by the industry
—by farmers and processors
alike—help maintain a high de-
gree of activity in other fields,
.thus heipingremployment across
the- nation. _..
Each year, for example, dairy
farmers spend ari average of
$23.6 million for new cars,
trucks and tractors and buy
fuel, grease, electricity, chemi-
cals, fertilizers, containers, new
machinery and labor. The total
annual bill t� farmers and pro-
cessors for all these averages
more than $800 'million.
Today, the Canadian dairy in-
dustry is facing a rapidly
strengthening market at home
and abroad as a result of buoy-
ant economic conditions and in-
creasing demand with no sig-
nificant change in production.
This brighter situation is bound
to reflect throughout the whole
economy of the nation.
