TRAINED ANIMALS GIVE PERFORMANCE Santa, Reindeers, Huskies, Are Seen In Street Parade There are probably a lot of weary mothers In Salem today thankful that Christmas ccmes only once a year and that Santa Claus doesn't make pre-Christmas visits to Salem two or three times a month. But for every tired mother, there are more than likely two or three happy youngsters who had the pleasure of seeing Santa Claus when he stopped in Salem for a three-hour visit this morning. Memorial Building Jammed It would be impossible to give a correct estimate of how many Salem kiddies turned out to see Old St. Nick in his pre-Christmas visit, but there were well-over 1.000 youngsters jammed and squeezed into the auditorium of the Memorial building to watch Santa's right-hand assistant, William Baker, and his troupe of trick dogs and ponies, put on a 15-minute show. Never in the history of the building has Its auditorium been so jammed with youngsters.

They were standing on chairs, hanging from the basketball backboards and peering from behind the curtains on the stage. Some of the kiddies, whose mothers or fathers were loaded down, holding tiny tots in each arm, didn't get to see the show because there were not enough seats to go around. Other tiny tots, hanging onto big sister or brother, barely, managed to get inside the auditorium. let alone get an occasional peak at the dogs and ponies performing. But if any of the youngsters see the show, which was transferred indoors because of the cold weather, they did get to see Santa, who rode through the downtown section in sleigh pulled by- five small reindeer.
