Show SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO GREET KIDDIES AGAIN NEXT WEDNESDAY Santa Claus, that jolly old, roly-poly lover of children who greeted the kids of Milford last Monday evening when they turned on Milford's outstanding Christmas decorations, will pay a return visit to this city on Wednesday, December 24, to talk to all the little children who didn't get a chance to sit on his knee and tell him what they want for Christmas. Announcement of the return trip for Santa was made by Mrs. Judy Briscoe and Mrs, Jean Hickman, of the special Christmas Christ-mas committee of the American Legion Auxiliary, sponsors of the Santa Claus journey along with decorating Milford properly proper-ly to receive old Saint.

All children will be given an opportunity op-portunity to climb upon his krae and whisper in his ear. A sack of candy and nuts, purchased especially for the occasion by Milford's civic and social organizations, will be handed each little boy and girl by Santa himself.

Mayor Gronning, in a speech delivered during the ceremony, pointed out that the retiring Board of Trustees was anxious to furnish Milford with Yule-tide Yule-tide decorations which would surpass anything shown in this area, and which would be a source of pride and beauty for our citizens for many years to come. |
