Gavilan also takes them all on
Ike Williams three times. Ray

Today Sammy is working as a

When word of Sammy's victory
over Frank Stranahan, the mil

Despite the rise in the world,
Sammy still is holding on to his
battered, 10-year-old clubs that
helped bring him his Horatio
Alger-style triumph. The only
concession he has made to pros
perity is to buy new bag.
"I'll get the old clubs fixed up
and use them in the tourna-

Christmas Greetings From General Old

Christmas greetings from Gen. eral Old to members of the Alas kan Air Command.
 AS we of the Alaskan Air Com mand pause in humble devotion during this Christmas season of 1851, our thoughts naturally turn homeward and to that ideal that has brought us here - peace on earth and good will toward men. Since there are forces in the world that do not subscribe to this ideal, it is our duty here in Alaska to remain vigilant, con- scientious and cooperative in our mission of protecting the hopes of our nation, our families and the hopes of all the free people of the world that peace and good will among men will become a living truth.
 Let us celebrate this Christ mas season in the true spirit of brotherhood and face the New Year with renewed determination to uphold our trusts, our faith, and our Christmas ideals.
 To every military and civilian member of this command, their families, I send sincere wishes for joyful Christmas and a peaceful and happy New Year.

Famous Artist Sketched First Santa Claus For US.

Thomas Mast, the famous car- toonist who created our concep- ton of Uncle Sam, the Republi- can elephant and the Democratic donkey, is also credited with giv- ing America it's first modern pie torialization of Santa Claus.
 Mast first sketched his notion of Santa Claus in 1873. This Santa was a rollicking, chubby old man smoking a pipe and dressed in what looked like a night shirt with fur collar and cuffs. Since that day he has grown taller and rounder, has developed a full white beard and mustache and above all has acquired the tra- ditional red suit bordered in er- mine.
 The story of how our American version of Santa Claus evolved is interesting. According to legend, children of Lapland and Siberia, raised on tales of the good and generous St. Nicholas, thought of their benefactor as dressed in furs and travelling in a reindeer drawn sleigh, just as they did them selves.
 Stories of St Nicholas
 Wondrous stories of this great fourth century saint, who gave handsome presents to good little children, were repeated at the firesides of all Europe from the time of his death in 342. The Dutch children observed the an- niversary of his death on Dec. 6 and received presents in their wooden shoes.
 These Dutch youngsters thought of St. Nicholas as stern old man with a long white beard, garbed in bishops robes and carrying a stick to chastise naughty children.
 The little Hollanders coming with their parents to found New Amsterdam brought Santa Claus or San Claas" as they said, with them. Tn no time the English colonial children whose fathers had taken over the Dutch settle ment and renamed it New York caught on to this wonderful man. The English moved his yearly visit from Dec. 6 to New Years Day.
 Germans coming to America brought their Christmas custom; Christmas trees and Christmas
The Nome nugget., 1951-12-24

candles burned in honor of the Christ Child, whom the German children called kris Kringle."
 At about the time that these festivities were making Christ mas Day important, families be- ginning to spread across the country chose this celebration as a day of reunion. Thus the Dutch figure or Santa Claus, the Ger man traditions and season of celebration became combined in one single holiday.
