Nowadays. they even teach q
man how to be Santa Claus.
The training course includes
such items as:
What to do when Junior asks
Santa to bring him q baby sister.
How to keep q boisterous young
enc from yanking OF santa's
beard.
How to straighten out the con-
fusion of . youngster who has
just seen another Santa.
What to say to the child whose
house has no chimney.
Dress Rehearsal Today.
These and similar questions
were discussed at length for the
benefit Of prospective Santas at
Hecht's yesterday. Today, the
men were to go through a dress
rehearsal complete with wig and
beard Of yak hair from Tibet. and
tomorrow they take on the young
sters.
Their coach was Percy j. Bob
bitt, a veteran st. Nick who went
through a school for Santas run
by a retired toy manufacturer at
Albion, N. Y.
"The red suit takes care Of q
lot" beamed Mr.. Bobbitt. 'It
means Santa Claus, that's all"
Beyond that, he cautioned the
men against making definite
promises, emphasized the impor-
tance of sobriety, urged them to
listen to the child's story and told
them they must remember the
names of Santa's reindeer-all
eight of them.
"A dozen. times a day." he
warned. "the children will ask you
for a baby brother or sister. You
kind of survey the situation and
tell them. I'm not going to make
any promises. but wait and see.'
I remember one mother overheard
her youngster ask for a baby
brother. She stepped right out of

to climb down, Mr.. Bobbitt ad-
vised:
Just laugh very jolly-ha ha-
and say you just leave 1t to Santa
Claus"
Shouldn't Be Kissed.
Children up to four. he ad-
vised, might be lifted on the knee.
Over that age, they can stand on
their own feet. And children
shouldn't be kissed, no matter how
affectionate they want to be. A
hug will meet this emergency.
Listening wide-eyed to the lee
ture were Elmer c. Strobeck,
a, Of los East Mason avenue,
Alexandria, Va. and Grover H.
Sheppard, ~, Of 726 Sheridan
street NV. The latter will preside
in the Silver Spring store, after

usual in his collection was the

line and shouted. Don't you make
any promises"
The problem Of the beard is one
where Mr.. Bobbitt urged his fel-
low Santas to be ever alert.
"You more or less keep = boys
hand under control while making
him feel welcome" he exclaimed.
THAT way he won't try to yank
1t on to see II It's real"
Mr.. Bobhitt took the view that
parents put . Santa In q delicate
position when they take their
children on . tour Of department
store st. Nick. His solution:
IT they say they just saw an
other Santa. tell them you're his

Making M ap Of island

The U. s. Geological Survey is preparing 8 topographic map of Kodiak Island.
 A field party, composed of three men from the Rocky Mountain Division, has been do, ing field completion work since early in May.
 Field completion work, ex- planned Bob Lake, of Denver Colo. 8 member of the party, is the establishing of the elevation of all peaks, roads and streams on the island.
 Fred Heintz of Wilson, North Carolina, is chief of party and the other member is James Jackson, of Douglas, Wyo.
 The past month the men have been working the area from Ugak Bay to Kodiak.
 "Our work is not to be con. fused with that done by the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey" Jackson said. "They survey from the shore into the water and we cover all parts of the land"
 The survey of the entire island will not be completed until the end of summer in l95O, at which time maps will be printed. The maps may be obtained by writ ing to Director U. s. Geological Survey, Washington, D. c.
 However, certain areas of the island are still on the restricted list and maps of these areas are military secrets, Lake said.
 While working in the wilder regions of the island the men carry rifles, in the event of an encounter with a Kodiak bear.
 "I hope all fishermen and hunters take good look before they shoot at moving objects 8. long the beach," Lake said.
 "Some of our work is done close to the shore and when l have a field pack on my back l look like a bear" Jackson add cd.
 The men will establish their headquarters at Ugak Bay late this week. The past month they have used a cabin of Knute Solberg as headquarters.
