Wilford Larsen Dear Santa: I've been a good democrat and have a lot of good friends among the Democrats here. I'd like Mrs. Bosone's recommendation as permanent postmaster.

If you've got any spare leases on life put 'em in your pack and leave at the Orem Chamber office. Mark Kartchner, Chamber president Dear Santa: We're new in Orem and are finding it difficult to get used to mail delivery service here. It's inconvenient, you know, for all 100 of us to walk out to the state highway each day to see if the mailman came. Can't you use your influence to get door-to-door service for us. Sincerely, A. Morningside Hite Dear Santa: Please don't send us a white Christmas like we had last year. We're putting the roof on Safe-way's Safe-way's new store at Fourth North and State and snow this week would delay our operations. If we have the store ready for occupancy oc-cupancy by mid-March we'll need your cooperation. Thanks for the good weather thus far, Witt Construction Co.

All I need now Is a new patrol car or two that will stand the terrific pace we will set. Make them jet engine cars so we can catch those speeders through town. Ralph Peters Dear Santa: Please bring us some snow for Christmas along with those sleds, skiis and tobbagans. How in the world are we going to have any fun slipping around on dry ground? Orl Kids Dear Santa: It's quite an adventure, going across State street from the City Hall to the Postoffice, and it is surprising how many enterprising enterpris-ing people tackle the journey. If we had a pedestrian lane painted on the highway and a pedestrian crossing sign, I believe be-lieve insurance rates could be reduced in Orem. If you've got any. drop 'em off as you pass.

Weekt Jr. Orem is a wonderful place but this year Christmas in 1 1 iias a puriicuuir warnun ana hearts of folks and a smile on Christmas in Orem is the voices of children laughing, squealing and shouting. It is the excited noises that evidence the heightened pitch of their emotions when they talk about the visit of Santa and his reindeer and the huge bag of dolls and toy tractors and Hop A Long Cassidy suits he will leave to those whom his helpers have reported as "good children." Christmas in Orem is the njght time with its brilliantly flashing colored lights in windows and on Christmas trees, which have miraculously appeared throughout the city in homes, stores and public buildings. "i It is the tall, proud-looking pine tree standing at attention in: the window of the Scera Theatre, formally illuminated with a magic blanket of solid red clobes. It is the enchanted forest of lighted living trees at the Orem city park where the mantle of the Aurora Borealis has fallen with its miraids of hues on the public lawns and evergreens. It is the bright strings of lights hung on the Orem city hall. It is the handsome bushy specimen of the forest atop the Orem Ileal Estate building. It is the slemter evergreen at the Washburn Service corner flaunting silver, red and gold or-namcnis or-namcnis in its branches. It is the Christmas trees in the homes of our town: some small and some large, some flashily decorated, others simply dressed all beautiful guests in our city. r't'-iiifmas in Orpm is Snntn PImiiq liirsiplf rlrivimi- thrmisrh the city in, a jeep, stopping now and asin to send a cheery rrcting and give a hearty scs to t;te rraianes town.

It is the jovality of ''Up on the Housetop, click, click, click ..." to the peaceful refrains of ''Silent Night." It is "The Mossiah." It is the ward choirs and congregations rais'rg their voices as one in the Hosannas. Christmas in Orem is a lonely house where men have exchanged ex-changed blue serge suits for o!ive crab or navy fc'ue. It is a house whose Christmas greet ft will arrive in far places, perhaps on Valentine's Day. Chrstmas in Orem is the joyous house where family and friends meet to eat and reminisce and kiss under the mistletoe. mis-tletoe. It is where children, old and young gather in a loving circle exchanging gifts and commemorating the birthday anniversary of Jesus Christ. This .... is Christmas in Orem !
