Schools Homes Industries Call us for demonstration. bo 80UI he is Cotne or HIT Old Gentleman Has Time With Crowd of Kids Finds Out What a JoB He Has to Do Breathes there a child in Mason City who did not see Santa Claus and his reindeer Saturday? The jolly old gentleman, who stays out all night once a year to pay his annual visit to good children all over the world, was here for a day checking up on what he will need to pack in his sleigh come Christmas.

And what he heard is amazing! The number things needed and the number of youngsters is amazing! And the age of some of these youngsters is even more amazing! My, how Mason City hps grown! Santa had no idea it is so large. He has paid many a visit here before, and he had no trouble at all going up Federal avenue. But that was when everyone was tucked in His bed. Packed Street Saturday there were so many youngsters that they filled the street. They packed it so tightly he was fully half an hour getting away from his moorings at the Hotel Hanford.

Here it was, 3 weeks before Christmas, but all through the town every youngster had heard Santa was comin around. They were draped in the windows and their cheers rent the air, in the hopes that Santa Claus soon would be there. And when the red sleigh and 8 reindeer did come into sight, there was such pushing and stretching of necks, such squeals and clapping of hands, such hoisting of young tots high above the heads of frostbitten dads, that Santa Claus all but collapsed from the excitement. Kids Have Their Day Childhood must have its day. Saturday was the day.

Santa Claus was in town, and that is pull enough to almost make the band festival throw in the sponge. From out of that fairyland of dancing lights and Christmas bells, where toys are made by fat-bellied elves, and everyone lives on sugar plums the whole year 'round, Santa Claus had come at last. For how many thousand youngsters that event will stand out in their minds for years to come, the merchants of Mason City will never know. But they are all kind of happy that the old gent and his real live reindeer paid the town a visit at that. In Best Form The reindeer were in their best form.

O'Dasher and Dancer, Prancer and Vixen, Donner and Blitzen, and Comet and how did Bambi get in there? Oh, well, Santa has as much right to be up to date as well as any new car owner. After all the 1950 models are out. And Santa his eyes, how they twinkled so merry! His eyes were like roses, his nose like a cherry. The beard on his chin was as white as the snow. And his droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow.

He was nimbly perched aboard that magical sleigh which seems to move along, snow or no snow. With all of his waving and "helloes," while on parade, he had a lot of business to attend 'to over in Central park. Many Things Needed There was this and that needed at this one's and that one's house.
