Santa In Grass Valley

One town in the United States has
practical and apparently perpetual
Santa Claus. In Grass Valley Cal,
everybody gets Christmas gifts. There
is no child so poor as to be disap-
pointed when Santa passes his boun-
ties around and, for that matter, no
grown person either. twenty-five years
ago Mrs. Hansen Of Grass Valley was
an invalid confined to her chair at the
window of her cottage. She watched
the school children troop by. Some of
them were scantily clad and looked
i'll nourshed. The good woman for
got her own misfortune in her com
passion for the unfortunate little ones.
She suggested that on the last day
of school before the Christmas holi-
days each child should bring to school
something TO give away to others. 1t
need not be anything big or costly
just whatever the child could spare
A committee was to distribute the
things where they were most needed
So many little ones and their parents
were made happy the first Christmas
that Grass Valley adopted the idea per
manently. Now for a quarter Of a
century Mrs. Hansen's improved Santa
Claus system has been in working or
der. though long ago the .ond woman
herself was released from her chair of
pain and laid to rest in the town cemr-

these creatures are thirsty 1t is said
that before attempting to put their

bruised, and so the ponies can drink
