Page 2 --Daily Messenger, Canandaigua, N.Y.--Friday, November 16,1973 School For Santos At Full Tilt Before Thanksgiving By STEVEN R. REED DALLAS (UPI) Santa Claus, we hardly knew ye. "Noel, Noel, the angels did say" wafted through the sound system and it was not yet Thanksgiving. The youth directors of the nation's largest Baptist church were there. A third-grade teacher was there and so was a psychologist from a medical research center.

And a little girl was there to explain what Christmas is all about. It was a Santa Claus school and there were about two dozen men of various shapes and sizes who wanted to be department store St. Nicks during the holidays. The little girl sang biblical songs and quoted Scripture. She was cute and sincere and told the prospective Santas she wanted a talking telephone and a doll when the time came.

She Got a Bag of Candy For demonstrating what it was like to be a 5-year-old, she got a bag of candy and had her picture made with the assembled symbols of North Pole novelties. Ross Scott attended the one- day school. He wants to be a Santa Claus and he wants to be a good one. "Meeting Santa may be all the Christmas some kids will have," he said. "You have to like kids to take this job.

That's why I do it, for the kids, to be around them." Scott had qualified and was hired but he sat behind the other prospects and was dressed in street clothes, instead of the red and white uniform. "I couldn't get into the thing. 1 thought I'd be able to but the pants wouldn't bullion past here," he said, pointing to his waist and holding his hands apart at least eight inches. "I thought the top might cover it up, but it didn't, so they'll alter it." Aspects Reported The youth directors and teachers and psychologists reported on the historical, educa- tionaland psychological aspects of dealing with one child every 90 seconds--children who may want their freckles removed, a burned home rebuilt or for their mother to give them a baby brother. "These are the things even Seaway Priority To Tankers MASSENA.N.Y.

(UPI) --The St. Lawrence Seaway, which will close next month, has granted priority status to ships carrying petroleum products, the waterway's administrator said Thursday.

Masters of petroleum carrying vessels are being allowed to pull out of their positions and steam ahead of other carriers waiting to move either east or west through the Seaway, he said. Thepolicywi 11 bere-evaluated prior lo Dec. 1, he said. Use The Want Ads the best of Santas can't provide and shouldn't promise," the Santas were told.

Ross Scott listened intently and took notes and prepared. "No, I don't think I'll be nervous," he said when the session ended. "The challenge is to be as fresh during that eighth or ninth hour as you are early in the day. "You have to be palient, all right, especially when they pull on your beard. I'm thankful for this school.

I think it's a good idea. These kids can read you." Class dismissed and Scott excused himself and stepped down the hall and behind the closed doors of the dressing area, where a clear "Ho-ho-ho, Merry Christmas" could be heard.

Plans for the system have been in the works since early 1972, with the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) looking over the company's shoulder: The DEC mandated that the project be completed by the end of the year.

According to Silver Floss President 'Eugene Hermenet, and Marshall Krause, operations (manager, the new system, located in back of the plant, allows waste waler from -the sauerkraut factory to be pumped into huge open ponds, where floating aeration machines keep the liquid churning so that bacteria can break down the solids.

(UPI) All newsmen should be able to safeguard the confidentiality of their sources, the head of the American Bar Association's (ABA) study panel on shield laws said Thursday. David Brofman, a Denver probate judge, said his committee will recommend an "absolute or nearly absolute" safeguard on news sources that want such proteclion as part of its report for all reporters, even part-timers, or those working for underground publications. Brofman, speaking to about 1,000 persons at the Sigma Delta Chi professional journalistic society convention, said his panel will recommend that "shield legislation should cover any individual engaged in the collection or dissemination of information to the public by any means" to the ABA when it convenes in February. Urging protection only for information gathered while performing a newsman's function, Brofman emphasized that such protection is needed for smaller news organizations unable to afford costs involved with litigation. "It is especially important in the smaller communities where newsmen may lack the resources to fight the action in said.

Brofman, a former newspaperman, said his committee favored "an absolute or nearly absolute privilege for confidential sources and confidential communications for such sources." "Extensive congressional hearings" have shown that absenceof source confidentiality impairs a reporter's ability to gather news, Brofman said. Brofman said the study group also urged a qualified privilege for a newsman's "work products," covering reporter's notebooks or film not aired. Such protection should be waived, he said, only in cases where a pre trial proceeding determ ines a need or di sclosure of such work products. This procedure, Brofm an said, woul discouragelegal proceedings as a means of harassment and would keep reporters out of jail. Earlier, Benjamin Bradlee, editor of the Washington Post, had told the delegates he Minas Gerais state in the interior of Brazil provides half the nation's mineral wealth.
