Local Children Meet Sor Claus at the Armories Hundreds of local and district children, some accompanied by their parents, thronged to the Oshawa Armories recently when the Oshawa Junior Chamber of Commerce held its Santa Centre. Left to right are Anne, Danny and Freddy Fleming, 16. William Street East, imparting their secret desires to the jolly old gentleman. Santa Claus Hit As Sugar Daddy Instead of Saint Assailing the Santa Calus myth | as 'foolish fiction' and rival of the Holy Child, the Rev.aJohn S. Mar- tin, editor of the Catholic Review, declared in 8 1949 editorial that a wish for a Merry Christmas Many are the joys that come with the Holiday Season =but none could be more pleasant than to greet our many friends with and a Happy New Year. The OSHAWA « ALL THE JOYS OF THE SEASON ' «GOOD HEALTH « GOOD FRIENDS « GOOD LUCK « GOOD CHEER « A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS oA HAPPY NEW YEAR © Staff of the CHAMBER Santa the saint has been lost in Santa the sugar daddy--and that the whole idea is bad psychology and bad pedagogy. "Our children learn about the reindeer, but have never heard of the ox and the ass." Father Martin continued and recommended that we: 'Leave the man in the red suit to those who have nothing better . for whom life must end in disillusion and despair." Father Martin's sentiments are | | reminiscent of Martin Luther's vigorous campaign against neglect of the central idea of Christmas, which is the birth or Jesus. So, German children have been taught that the Christkind brings the presents -- Christkind being depict- | ed as the messenger of the Infant | Jesus sent earthward at Christ- mastime to bring happiness to good children. The modern conception of Santa Claus is, of course, 99 per cent fictional and strictly American. Good health, Good fortune and Good cheer are just a few of the GOOD things we wish you for Christmas and the New Year. ARMSTRON FUELS 59 CHURCH ST. PHONE 5-5864 Ny BEDNAREK HARDWARE 450 SIMCOE ST. S.
