Show Interesting Job? Santa's Beats All At This Season WHO HAS ONE of the most in-"teresting in-"teresting jobs this time of year? That's easy. Ifs Santa The rotund gentleman hiding behind be-hind the red ensemble and the flowing white beard learns a great deal about the nature of humans especially children, at this time of year. However, after receiving thousands thou-sands of letters from all over the country, and talking to thousands of youngsters on street corners and in department stores, Santa usually comes to the same conclusion each year. Tunes and customs change, but children seldom do. Requests that Santa receives follow fol-low a general pattern each year everything from bicycles to roller skates and cowboy suits for boys, with dolls and elaborate accessories accessor-ies the favorite with the girls. There are some exceptions. Lots of children make requests for useful use-ful items, typewriters and such, in the hope of becoming writers and stenographers. Last year one lad asked for a Bengal tiger. Santa, understanding human that he must be, promises to fill all the requests that he can and explains ex-plains tenderly why there are some that are out of reach. |
