Woirkshops, where toys will be made, an Eskimo village, a paradise island, a wishing well and a lake, on the banks of which reindeer will be free to roam, are being constructed on a 32-acre plot. The Santa Claus Good Fellowship club, which is behind the project, in- tends to make the place a shrine to Saint Nick. As the work proceeds, Postmaster Oscar L. Phillips watches his mail grow daily. Letters pour in from a parts of the United States, and from England, Ireland, New Zealand and Germany. More Dolls and Bicycles; For many years now, children and grownups have sent cards or letters to this postoffice for remailing. Phil- lips expects to handle 1,000,000 pieces this year. The little boys and girls who write him, telling what they want Santa to bring them, are asking for more dolls and bicycles than ever before. "There are a lot of amusing let- ters, and some which make my heart ache," he says. "I am happy when I get letters from children that I know have parents able to provide for them, but it makes me sad when I open mail from poor little tots I know will get Students Building Artificial Channels (Continued from Page 1) haps, eventually, we will be able to build a very large channel, out- doors, and check our results there. Thus differences aside from magni- tude between projects on varying scales can be determined." Although in this case the model problems studied will necessarily be of a hydraulic engineering nature, provision is being made to allow a wide range of problems within this field. Supporting the channel-way are two heavy I-beams which not only give the structure rigidity, but also, through the use of jacks, allow it to be inclined at a varying angle. Water from a department pumping stystem does not flow directly into the chan- nel, but first passes through a still- ling basin containing a series of screens. Changing the size or shape of the opening between basin and channel will afford another field of study. And in order to know accu- rately the weight of quantities of water in the channel, its size is being held within strict limits. Nevertheless, the arrangement certainly looks like some small boy's utopia. very little. It's a responsibility, be- ing Santa Claus to the world." Received Name in 1853 This town - the population is 60 -t got its name in 1853, when a post- office was allowed the little settle- ment. "There was a German Methodist church organized here in 1848," ex- plains Jess Fahr, one of the oldest residents, "and it had a Sunday school class which was very active. It was on suggestion of the class that the town, in need of a name, was called Santa Claus. "It was just about Christmas time and the residents had tired of the slow stage-coach delivery of the mail once a month.
