SANTA WILL PAY VISIT TO MANY NEEDY ONES,
 ACCORDING TO CULLEY

Christmas spirit is running riot this year." declared Fred A. Culley, superintendent of the city welfare department. as he outlined a program of Yuletide cheer that promises to penetrate every nook and corner of Birmingham. Mail delivery men. insurance men and policemen are re- porting needy families to the depart ment, Mir. Culley said, and the lists prepared are seized hungrily by the various relief organizations. Already approximately 65 agencies have cleared Christmas lists. including more than 750 families. through the confidential exchange and other lists coming in daily.
 To the post office authorities the welfare exchange Is Santa Claus. All letters addressed to that venerable parsonage are delivered to the vel fare office, and each of them will be answered in some way. according to Mir. Culley. Already about @ santa Claus letters have been received.
 Everybody seems to be outdoing themselves In Christmas relief" said Mir. Culley. The spirit of unselfish- ness is running riot. Our program not only covers the city, but reaches out into the county. So far as 1t is humanly possible, every needy family in Birmingham will be remembered this Christmas"

 Shakespeare didn't write play with the idea that 900 years later people would argue as to whether one of it's characters was sane or insane. | He wrote il with the idea of enter i taining people, and that is the secret ' of his appeal.
