in the early days in this country
| was a copy of the European st.
Nicholas who was Bishop of Myra,
an ancient city of Asia Minor, in
the fourth century. He was tall,
upright man, usually pictured in his
bishops robes. By legend, st. Mich
olas was the "children's friend" and
it was with him that the practice of
| gift-bearing to children on Christ
mas originated.
According to Miss Lees research
| files, the legend of st. Nicholas was
brought to America by the Dutch
and gradually became merged with
the myriads of Christmas customs
of many other nationalities who inn
migrated here. But as st. Nicholas,
even in Clement Moore's day, he was
still the tall and stately man known
in Europe, and even the name, "San-
ia Claus" was rare.
Moore's poem was originally titled
"A Visit from st. Nicholas" and
the name "Santa Claus" apparently
| evolved from the efforts of children
to pronounce in English the Dutch
name "Sant Nicholas" Since then,
the name "Santa Claus" has been
universally adopted, although he has
also been variously known as Jolly
Old st. Nicholas, Father Christmas,
Mr.. Whiskers, Old Man Christmas
and scores of foreign variations of
the English name.
ST. Nicholas remained consistently
tall and consistently thin IN the
| public prints until the 1860's, when
a famous cartoonist of the period,
Thomas Mast, began drawing Santa
Claus on magazine covers and as
book illustrations. Nast's conception
was more closely allied to Moore's
written description, but still a long
way from today's versions.
NORTH POLE WORKSHOP
Nast's Santa, in many old wood
cuts still extant, was short, pixie
like figure, round and jolly looking
but still hardly able to carry the
huge bag of toys he is generally
pictured with today. Nevertheless,
Nast's drawings established popu-
lar notion of Santa that eventually
led to the present-day conception.
Mast popularized not only the fig
ure of Santa Claus, but also many
of the other practices with which he
is associated at Christmas: building
the TOYS in his North Pole workshop,
keeping the records of good and bad
children, receiving and answering
their letters, and driving his rein
deer. Mast is also credited with es-
tablishig Santa's red coat, the result
of a cartoon during the Civil War
in which he patriotically arrayed
Santa in a red, white and blue outfit
Not until the early 1900's did
Santa begin to achieve the plump
ness and height of the figure we
know today, Miss Lee discovered. As
late as 1881 artists were still pic.
turing a Santa that resembled Jack
Sprat more than he did Moore's
Santa. Possibly" Miss Lee ex
planned, "the painters Of Santa
thought they had to make him liter
ally thin enough to get down th'
chimney"
Will Santa's appearance chang'
in the years to come? Miss Le'
thinks any changes will be only II
minor details, even over Ions
period of time. The festival o.
Christmas and Santa's part in it arr
almost universally understood toda.

When Clement Moore wrote his
classic "The Night Before Christ

Claus almost exactly as Americans
of all ages think of him today.
He portrayed the legendary old

The only remedy that has ever

UN President Pruises
Trumon For Help
Organization

United Nations president
Herbert Evatt called on Presi-
dent Truman to thank him for
his contribution for the sue
cess of the UN's e-ort for
peace. The lifting of the Ber-
lin blockade will lead to a gen
eral easing of the cold war ten
sion. The agreement is encour-
aging news.
Evatt received the news
shortly before he called at the
White House to thank the Pre-
sident for what he called his
consistent & valuable support
of UN in a period of acute diff
ficulty; the tension is now
easing and all of us feel that
we should pay tribute to Mr..
Truman for his help to the
world organization.
The blockade has been a cri-
sis for the entire world, Evatt
continued; the temperature of
world affairs can now be ex-
pected to move downward to
normal.

TO Retire Soon

will retire as military COVER
nor of Berlin, reviewed the
U. S. forces for the last time
yesterday.
Thirty-five generals & 1900
troops gave the General a big
send-off as they paraded past

was fired. Fighters and bomb
ers droned overhead and one
fighter wrote the Generals
name across the sky.
General Clay told them that
the occupation of Germany is
entering a new phase, pointing
that his place will be taken by
a commissioner. He was deep
ly moved as he told the men
Thank you; God bless you.
In leaving the Army this is
my last review. I will always
treasure the presence of you
men in this field. today. You
still have a job to do in the
cause of peace and freedom"
General Clay said that he
expects the airlift to continue
until Berlin's stockpile of ZOO
600 is up to par. Truckage
wound not be available even
if the trains moved again, he
indicated.
