Postmaster Elbert S. Reinke re ports, in fact, several thousand letters are already on hand from children all over the country to Santa Claus. He expects 60,000 al together this year. Each will be answered by the American Legion in Santa Claus. The gaily decorated letters from Santa Claus to the children who write him assure them that San ta r s Brownies are already hard at work making plenty of toys and that- he will visit them in time for Christmas. The letter also admon ishes them to be good children and say their prayers regularly. Mr. Reinke, head of the Santa Oaus post office since 1947, says that the story of how Santa Claus was named goes back more than 100 years. At a meeting held be- fprt the Post Office was establish- T c ed there in 1856, according to the story, someone wearing Santa Claus clothes came in. Apparently it was around Christmas time. The children attending with their par ents cried, \Santa Claus,\ and the adults thought that would be a good name for their town. Since then, following the estab lishment of the Post Office at San ta Claus in May, 1867 it has helped in carrying on the great traditions of Christmas. Besides the children's mail, many persons have their Christ mas cards mailed from Santa Claus. In all, Postmaster Reinke anticipated a Christmas mail vol ume of more than 3,000,000 pieces this year.
