MAKE THE CHILDREN
HAPPY
/
The News-Democrat editors o
have no apologies to make this o
week for using so much space in o
publishing the children’s letters o
to Santa Claus. This is the chil- o
dren’s season of the year and o
are glad to add to their pleas- o
ure, and we trust they will en- o
joy the letters. <>
The News-Democrat believes C
in the children. It loves their
innocence, their bright eyes and
rosy cheeks, and wishes that
they may be very happy at th's
Christmas tide.
Walter Williams says that
Christmas is the children’s fes-
tival and it is not for grown-
ups unless they have child-like
hearts.
Let us make the children hap-
py.
