Plenty, if it happ^M to be Mary Christmas, or Santa Glaus, and that's actually happened. Both Evansville, Ind., and Racine, Wis., have their Mary Christmas, and at Marshall, Mo., there's a jolly fellow whose last name is Claus, and whose parents christened him Santa. Evansville's Mary Christmas comes from an old family which he? hsd E Mary ia £ich g«»era- _ . . tion. Racine's Mary Christinas Mary Christmas got that way by marrying a fellow named Samuel Christinas, and she's now a telephone operator. Which explains that strangely personal and timely message Jong distance operators hear out of Racine around Christmas time: "This is long distance, operator--Mary Christmas!" Racine's Mary Christmas, who is short, chubby and looks ju3t like the artist's conception of Mrs. Santa Claus, gets hundreds of fan mail letters every year. Three years ago she appeared on a Yuletide radio program and has been so deluged with fan mail ever since that she's founded a "shutin" club which has members in 40 states, Canada, Hawaii, India, China and New Zealand Marshall's Santa Claus is similarly Christmasminded. Each Yuletide he tries to answer the fan letters which come from all corners of the globe, many in such strange foreign languages that he can't reply. He's much in demand for church parties and other Christmas affairs. Santa is a plumber on weekdays, a vegetable gardener on the side and a preacher in the Church of God at Blue Lick, Mo., every Sunday. Two years ago, when plumbing business was bad, he was grateful for a $250 check sent him by Mae West, the actress. In Roslindale, near Boston, lives an Ambrose Claus who with his wife last year celebrated his golden wedding anniversary. Like all other folks named Claus, they seem to have a lion's share of Christmas spirit.

Don't give small children toys involving alcohol, kerosene or gasoline engines. They may tip over and set the house on fire. 2. Don't permit small children to run electrical toys without the supervision of an adult. 3. Don't permit small children to use toy movie projectors without using safety, film which burns slowly. Ordinary film burns explosively and gives off smoke and fumes which may cause death if inhaled. 4. Don't use candles or light extra fires without being extremely careful, especially in regard to can; dies on trees. 5. Don't wear inflammable costumes, especially Santa Claus beards, without fire proofing them/ 6. Don't use inflammable ornsv ments and evergreen decorations. . Superstitious Villagers Fear Year of Bad Luck * If Candles Die on Tree LONDON.--Early Christmas traditions still endure among English Yule celebrants. No Christmas tree is considered complete in rural areas unless it is bedecked with little candles of different colors. Many people count it an ill sign if once lit the candles go out or are snuffed out before they have burned to their ends. In old days the candle was made such a size that it would burn from the time it was lit until midnight. If it went out before that, evil was portended to the family for the coming year. c The Yule log, which many hold should be lit by a brandy preserved from the previous year's stock, should be blown into a blaze by the maids, but these must have clean faces and hands or the log will not light easily. In the north of England it was once customary to let the servants have free drin| *o jong as the log burned. • " • . Ex-Detroit Paper Boys Aid 65,000 at Christina?
