Mr. Johnson first donned a Santa suit 15 years ago as a favor to his school teacher-siste- r. Me enjoyed it so much it has been a regular thing for him ever since. ONE THING I alwayv try to do in my vimIv w uh the children. i to remind them of there revponobiliiiei and to be more diligent and helpful at home, notpivi bring (hem gift. Mr. Johnson ha had a wide variety of interesting experience as Santa, he said, many wat customary for the enjoyable and some tad. "there are scry few epcrt-em.e-s mommies and daddies in that Up and tody to mi on Santa'would ted hrme what that you don't emoy as Santa." he said. ONETIUThediJn't enjoy, that hat haunted him ever since, wat when an father slapped a child who forgot to thank ' Santa. But by and large, according to Johnson, being Santa is great. Take for instance his volunteer visits, five or sis per year, at McKay Dee Hospital. That is the most fun of all. or the annual visit to Salt Lake City to visit a leukemia victim: or the time he visited the Roy family and was WELL, LO and behold, when 1 went to the family's Christmas party the following year, the young lady was their with her new baby." Mrs. Johnson says he has since received phone calls from childless young women wanting his magic candy canes to hang over their bed. One of Santa's pet peeves, according to Mr. Johnson, is when a parent attempts to Johnson, w hose tvs inkling blue eyes and kindly, warm voice make him a natural for the role of Santa. 1 really enjoy working with children. he said, citing the time he worked in Lagoon's Mother Goose Land as the second most enjoyable job he has had. The Johnsons have eight children of their own. When our oldest child was about four years old, we put a pillow under the covers to make it look like I was sleeping in my .bed, then Mrs. Johnson woke 'the children to say she heard a noise and would they like to come see who was in the living room putting presents under the tree. YEARS LATER, the oldest child, who was then about 12, became adamant about the existence of a real Santa, during a family conversation. . The gist of the conversation was the real meaning of Christmas. The Spirit of Christmas is, according to Mrs. Johnson, like Santa, not real or tangible but represents a special feeling. The child firmly stated that there was indeed a real Santa. Hadnt he seen him years before in the familys own livingroom? MR. JOHNSON feels that his role as Santa has enhanced the Christmas Spirit in their home. I often take the children with me, he said. They made by wear Mrs. Johnson and are quite disappointed when they get too big to play elves. Bernard Johnson works as a math and reading teacher at Weber Basin Job Corps. He feels he really becomes Santa when I make the change from teacher or Daddy or Bemie. I NEVER discipline my children when Im Santa, he said, Santa would never scold or punish. And Im never called Daddy or Bernie or Mr. Johnson when Im wearing the Santa suit. Likewise, Im never called Santa when Im not in the suit. I guess its like playing a foie. When time allows, Santa enjoys telling children how he started bringing presents, Johnson said. When I was a young boy, I used to get presents for my birthday. I used to like they hun to bring them for Christmas. he said. A daughter who had been married far over two years and was childless, asked Santa if he could bring her a baby. Briefly stymied, Santa then replied. I can't, but I do have magic candy canes." He then picked up two candy canes and held them together to form a heart shape, and said, "Make sure these don't get broken, hang them over your bed, and next year I will bring candy canes to your baby." ITS THE most enjoyable work I've ever done. said im wish ulr mfl 9n. m rglODat protte ftppnof f pit toil tJ ifwujijdti k ctonplri, L uy vStjJt Ki A ih4uft fMe a Chdd to 4 os Im to Ninety mine percent of to to uu time I can get a and 4 on my Up m smut cb-4- d how rngNtened he rf Santa.

He recounted the time he was delivered by helicopter to the roof of the old poM office in Clearfield. 1 was nisi about to step from the rose onto the waning ladder to climb down when the copier Maned to lift. At the same lime 1 felt my wig and beard begin to lift off my head from the updraft." Santa had to drop hi bag of goodie in a hurry in order to pre cm a dis- aster. Santa was once stopped by a highway patrolman when he was speeding on hi way to visit a group of Primary children in North Ogden. When I told the officer where I was going, he replied, "Well, let's hunry, my kids are out there wailing for you." Santa received a police escort that day. HAZARDS OR no. after 15 years of helping Santa cut at Christmas time, Mr. Johnson still sees his yulctidc roll as the most enjoyable thing in his life. 14 Corwfss drtfMg hc create n tie irstl tf compcn-l- ounce mcnsetsa&ritl PjCfLOUHS ft a IrtcA Seal m-t- l CsfpSj4S Carvwd ifcete operawg t on baUsce sheet avattet. k eh of me Uw. ma firm 10 fvgelaiea toe an cstraMdoury charge aiamti earning in thud sieter to irjv-e- l') m Use tfuninithed aie, t uiihermore, although some nacenainty prradt, the earner intend to take a deduction on their Pr0 taxet, which Will be a partial otfc to the fii do not factor. nuandary.

Yet many ducks and shore-bird- s make the journey all the same, say two Swarthmore College biologists who have followed the autumn migra- USING RADAR on Hawaii, WilTimothy C. and Janet M. liams have watched birds arrive after a 2,500 mile flight from Alaska. This is the first time that anyone had used radar in the Pacific Ocean to study birds, Williams said. 1And we were able to see birds arriving after the longest non-sto- p flight thats ever been recorded for land birds. AMONG THEIR findings: The birds seem to stage for takeoff on Alaskas Aleutian Islands and wait for winds from the north to ride down to Hawaii. SOME shorebirds en route to the South Pacific stop over in Hawaii to fatten up and refuel. Because only six main species migrate to the islands it was possible to identify the types seen by radar. the The four shorebirds golden plover, ruddy turn-stonwandering tattler, and e, arrive in August sanderling and September.

VISIT VA HOSPITAL Continual service to the patients at the Veterans Hospital in Salt Lake City has become part of the lives of several members of the Davis Coun- ty Chapter of the Disabled American Veterans. ONE NIGHT a month these people travel to Salt Lake City to visit all the patients in Bldg. 2 Ward 2B of the VA Medical Center. These dedicated volunteers have been performing this service since 1954 on a Members of the Davis Chapter of the Disabled American Veterans visiting the Veterans Hospital in Salt Lake City.

They take the patients fruit, cookies, cakes, punch, coffee and special treats at Christmas and for other holidays. THE MOST important service the DAV member performs is to provide the hospital patient with a friend, someone to talk to and to show interest in their problems. Many of the patients are lonely and some have been in the hospital for 0 cr 20 years. ! f Mm vin-i-'-d UuSifilt gvf gt(g m---- M cStnsAjiwp y 4 KIW4I K4 to UfsJ vp cu1 ,.4 m ctf to toe., Mf r erf rff 14 11'i fih 445r pvr4 a Ivifwirt HtoXOI pc 83trr gos !.,: ) (rft .
