December 21 1932

    A few days ago, Roy E.K. Bowen, Warsaw mail carrier, picked up a letter on North Detroit Street addressed to Santa Claus, at the North Pole. A day or two later the boy who "mailed" the letter said to Bowen, "Say has my letter gone to Santa Claus yet at the North Pole? If not, give it back to me and I will take it to the Warsaw fire station. I think I'll do better there." This happened shortly after the boy had visited the fire station where toys are being collected for distribution to Warsaw children who otherwise would not be remembered on Christmas.
