SANTA CLAUS, IND,
IS ENJOYING A BOOM
Santa Claus is just about all things
to all people in one form or another.
¥v the youngsters he is the jolly old
fellow who brings them everything
their hearts desire. To mothers, he is
@ lot of work, but fun, too. Fathers
also join the fun but the pay forit.
To 1200 residents of a cross roads vil-
lage in Indiana, Santa Claus is home
for that is the name of their town.
Right now, Santa Claus, Ind, is a
sight busy place. From all parts of
the country mail is pouring into the
little postoffice just to get the Santa
Claus post mark .Extra workers are
hired annually to take care of the
business rush.
To stamp collectors goes the credit
for putting Santa Claus on the map.
Back in 1926 a Los Angeles philatest
sent a letter to the town to be post-
marked with the coveted name. The
town then was Santaclaus (one word).
The stamp collector suggested the
same of the town be changed to two
words. His idea was carried through
snd as soon as the name appeared on
postal guides, the town was flooded
with mail from other philatelists who
wanted the unique post mark.
Now a big bulk of the postoffice’s
business comes from firms which
want to send out Christmas literature
under the post mark of Santa Claus.

self willed, vain and domineering
Queen Elizabeth, torn between her
love of England and its people and her |
overwhelming love for the handsome
and dashing young Earl of Essex. Flynn
as Essex has precisely has precisely |
the type of role in whice he has en-
deared himself to audiences the world
over—that of a handsome swashbuck
ling hero, as victorious in love as he
is in war. But his victory over Eliza-
beth is short lived in the film; for,
loving him, she sends him to the ex-
ecutioner’s block, because she realizes
that if England is to live, Essex must
die Played against the spectacular
background of the pomp and pageant-
ry of the Elizabethan court, the love
story is still the all-important theme
on which the film is focused.
The brilliant supporting cast for the
two stars includes Olivia De Haviland
Donald Crisp, Vincent Price, Henry
Stephenson Alan Dale, Ralph Forbes,
Henry Daniell, and others.

NEW WEIGHMASTER'S
BLANKS TO BE ISSUED
Harrisburg. —New types of applica- |
tion blanks for weighmaster's certifi- |
cates will be issued about the first of
the year, Secretary of Internal Affairs |
William S. Livengood has announced. |
Numerous arrests throughout the |
| state on charges of short weight coal |
deliveries indicate that an indiscrim- |
inate issuance of weighmaster’s certi- |
ficates to all who apply leads sometime
to abuse of their use, Secretary Liven-
good added.
In an effort to assure all customers
that they are receiving the weight of
coal and other commodities represent-
ed a conference will be held shortly
with local sealers o fweights and mea-
sures, retail coal dealers and others in-
terested. This is the outcome of the
first of a series of meetings with a
committee from the Pennsylvania
Sealers of Weights and Measures As-
sociation.
