SANTA CLAUS
REMEMBERED THEM

Forty Indiana Harbor youngsters
who did not believe in Santa Claus, be-
cause he is not in the habit of coming
to their houses to any extent, were
given proof of his existence yesterday
when they were taken to the city In
four big automobiles to visit him and
tell him just what they want for
Christmas.
It was Barton Brineys idea and his
was one OF the machines used in the
trip. other machines were loaned by
John w. Calvin, David Kepple and
George Brant
The youngsters gathered at the day
nursery on the Lincoln school grounds
and the start was made soon after $50
o oclock. They were accompanied by
members of the day nursery auxiliary,
one woman being in each of the ma
chimes. Some of the big department
stores were visited. Santa Claus inter-
viewed. and luncheon, which was taken
along and which consisted of sand
wiches. was eaten in one of the stores.
The toy departments in the various
places visited, the shop windows and
all the Christmas delights were re-
garded with wonder by the children,
probably not one Of whom had ever
visited the shopping district in Christ
mas time. or any other time in fact, in
their young lives.
