If you have anything in Until this year little boys and girls could only write to Santa Claus; post their letters and trust to the postman to deliver them. _ But this year the Radio Department of the Canadian National Railways made an arrangement with Santa Claus and letters from boys and girls, all over Canada, are being broadcast from the C. N. R. Radio Stations to Santa in jhis workshop in the Far North. â€" Santa acknowledges, each evening by radio, that he is hearing what his little friends have to tell him. Although he is a very busy man, Santa Claus visited every broadcasting station of the Canadian National Railways, in Moncton, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Regina, Calgary and Edmonton, telling his little friends to write him, care of the C. N. R. Radio, and thousands of letters from boys and girls have been received and broadcast to Santa. The picture you see here was taken in one of those stations as Santa was speaking to his boys and girls through the microphone, which is the instrument used to send the sound of the voice dancing out over the world on the radio waves. Down below you see one of the big engines that the Canadian iNatonAi Railways are going to lend Santa Claus to carry his bags of toys, if there is not enough snow for his reindeer. _ These are the biggest and most powerful freight engines in the whole of the British Empire. They can easily pull a train of 150 loaded freight cars; so you see, Santa Claus will have no trouble bringing all his toys, no matter if there isn‘t any snow on Christmas Eve SANTA CLAUS USES THE RADIO but previously have had little chance in life. Will you give one of these yvoungsters a chance in a good home? Application forms may be obtained from Mr. Osear Robertson, Local trict, Timmins,.
