The Vet's Club was a "Santa's Work Shop" this week as volunteers busily packaged assorted nuts, candies, fruits and other goodies for the small fry of Igloo, S. D. This is the fifth year they have played host to our younger generation by handing out 1000 to 1100 candy sacks at Christmas time. Best of all they have good Old Saint Nick doing the honors. All children in the fifth grade and under are eligible. (Santa's helpers from left to right are: Floyd Beauvais, Charles Wilhelm, John Mutchler, James Ressigue, Harold Heald, Frank Burke, Melville Cox, William Hodgekiss, George Cottrell, Peter Knoepfle, unindentified, John Eric and Matt Balander).

Santa Claus is coming to town. The Igloo "Vets" Club announced today that Santa Claus will make his annual visit to the Vets Club on Tuesday 21 December 1954. He will be on hand to greet the pre-school children at 1:15 and he is expecting a good sized gathering from these youngsters. Kindergarten children and children in grades one through four will be greeted by Santa the same afternoon, and he is busy making arrangements with the teachers of those respective grades for the time when they are to come to the club. So just don't forget kiddies that Santa will be around to see you and give each of you one of his "goody" treats next Tuesday at the Vets Club. (Santa also visited the Officers' Club and the Kiwanis theater party)
