If the kids in the Sauk Centre
community haven't begun to count
the days until Christmas and the
annual visit of Santa Claus, long
before this, there's something
wrong. They aren't normal kids OF
they are sick. The best thing to dc
in the circumstances, is to see your
family physician and see him now
No one has any misgiving as to
the physical condition Of the kids
of Sauk Centre. At least so far
as the mapority of them are con-
cerned, and it's a safe wager. no
matter what the odds are, that ev.
cry last mothers one of them has
begun his calculations as to the
remaining days before the visit of
Santa, who annually distributes
Christmas gifts and good cheer at
the Christmas season.
Not only are they counting the
days until Christmas, but they
have already started the list of
things they want this year. If
you want everything to run smooth
ly during the holiday season, it
wouldn't be amiss to do a little lis
tening in on them.
Now, for you, Mr.. Pa and Mrs
Ma. The goold old Saint has to
depend pretty largely on your as
sistance in the matter of planning
the Christmas for the various chaps
of the land, and unless you give
him the proper t1ps things are like
ly to get gummed up and there will
be lot of disappointment.
The Sauk Centre merchants have
never been as well equipped to
meet the demand of the Yuletide
as they are today. The stocks will
meet every need, every taste and
every pocketbook.
Kids from Washington to Flori
da and from Maine to California
have been all tuned up for some
days now. In fact they began max
ing plans ever since last Christ
mas. OF course that was a lone
time off, and while they had some
ideas as to what they would want
this year, they felt as though il
would be an age before the time
would roll around for them to real
| ize their wish.
No city in Minnesota has q:
many splendid state and county
highways leading into it from ev
cry direction as has Sauk Centre.
Farmers from a wide territory
and residents from neighborins
towns can come to Sauk Centre tt
do their Christmas shopping will
every assurance that they will no
be disappointed in variety, qualit.
and price.
! Even now with Christmas only ;
little more than two weeks away
the youngsters feel like it will nev
Ter get here. ALI of us had thu
same experiences when we wer'
kids. It was a century almost from
one Christmas to another. AS thu
years piled up on us th'
intervals between one Christina
season and another have gradual.
lessened until now, if you hav'
passed the half way mark of life
it seems as though one hardly pas
ses before another is right on u
again.
Well all of us, young and old, ge
some joy out of this holiday sea
son, but it is for the kids, for tn
most part. They get the bigges
kick out of it, and why shouldn'
they? After a fellow grows up h
suddenly discovers that there is
lot of sorrow and disappointment
mixed up with the pleasures of thi
life. So why deny the kids all tn
fun and pleasure they can possibl,
get out of the Yuletide season
They'll get their bumps sool
enough so if they can have an
fun now. give it to them.
The twelve columns of letters t
Santa Claus written by the chil
dren of this community and pub
lished in the Herald this weel
proves very clearly that the young
sters have very clear idea o
what they want. In most case
they are extremely modest an
show a commendable desire t
have those less fortunate thai
themselves cared for.
