Today, he neither lives or
gives by purely copybook max
inns. Last summer, a man named
James Montgomery was released
from Illinois State Penitentiary
after serving 26 years on a rape
charge that was finally proved
false. On his release. he was given
$40. Santa, learning this, sent
$50 more to Montgomery's law
yer with the suggestion the ex-
prisoner buy a. couple of new
suits with the money and
have some fun. 1 don't usually
suggest these checks be used
for frivolity - but, brother,
he deserves i'll"
With each check he sends out,
Santa encloses a mimeographed
letter for the recipient to copy
and send to "a few outstanding
men with big hearts in your
town" That's where his plan of
getting others to follow in his
own footsteps comes in.

his ordinary charitable contribu-
tons.
1t takes a little trouble and
forethought for you to set up
such a personal project. First,
you've got to incorporate. then
file with tax authorities and the
Internal Revenue Bureau, stat

provisions of the regular income

REALIZE SANTA CLAUS
Continued from preceding page

1t is a matter of record that
Santa's letters have already
borne fruit in two similar
secret foundations, one, set up
by a Detroit bachelor who offered
Santa 5000 for his work (but
was advised to start on his own;
the other, by the president of a
large New Orleans company.
She Returned the Check
MANY people that Santa has
tided over have tried to pay him
back afterwards. No one has
ever treated a Santa-signed check
as a gag although one woman
wrote: Dear Santa: It's awfully
nice of you, but things have
taken a turn for the better" =
she returned the check.
And his own good deeds have
had a habit of 'snowballing" -
one family was overwhelmed by
gifts of clothing, blankets, even
money, when neighbors learned
Santa had sent them a check: for
another family. he bought a lot
- their neighbors built a house!
There have been some disap-
pointments, but only mild ones.
Once a woman claimed she
owed $3.50 i'm back taxes, but
an investigation proved it
was only $50. Another time, he
wrote the six children of a desti-
tute old lady, saying he'd match
any sum they'd contribute to
their mothers support - and
only one bothered to answer. A
third time, he sent 500 to a
man in Detroit for false teeth.
500 VIII DO Il
"A FEW days later" Holly
woods secret Santa Claus told
me, "a letter arrived from the
mans dentist, saying: My regu-
Lar price for false teeth is three
hundred dollars. But being that
it's Santa Claus, I'll do it for
only two hundred dollars
''Of course, I got the point -
and sent the man another hum
bred dollars. And that started
the deluge! We began getting
dozens of letters, all from De-
troit, all of them asking for two
hundred dollars - for false
teeth" The End

other opportunity to emigrate, DIR.

can Jewish Congress, DR.. Gold

mann declared that American Jews
must take the major share of re
sponsibility for continued immi-
grafton, if the Israel crisis is to
| be solved.
He noted that the Jews OF
America must recognize that they
have the same moral obligation
to aid the Israel immigrants as
they had when these Jews were
still languishing in DIP camps OF
were imperiled in Moslem lands
DIR. Goldman also revealed that
the government of Israel had spent
more money from its meagre re-
sources in absorption of the immi
grants than all the campaigns out
side Israel had contributed.
