We take pleasure in answering at once and thus pro-. minently the communication below, ‘expressing at the same time our great gratification that its faithful author is numbered among the friends of The Sun: Dear Editor: ] am 8 years old. Some of my friends say there is no Santa Claus. ‘Papa says “‘If you see it in “The Sun’ it’s so.” Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus? Virginia O'Hanlon115 West 95th Street _ New York City Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith, then, no poetry, no. romance to make tolerable this existance. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world. ‘ou tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil coverihg the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor evef the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah. Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.No Santa Claus! Thank God he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood. . Stockholders In Civilization , : a ‘**All men are stockholders in our civilization,” writes Robert G. Sproul, president of the University of California, in the current issue of The Rotarian magazine. “Whatever we have been able to learn of Nature's secrets comes to us as to béqueath will come from Civilization, Inc. “24° The’ assets of this mammoth corporation we call Civilization, Dr. Sproul points out, are far more than tangible other corporation lavishes on its assets, so that they are not Progress for our common venture is not inevitable, the educator says.

Today the assets on the balance sheet. of Civilization are, perhaps, the highet yet offered to the stockholders—which are ourselves—but the very values which are our best possessions may be perverted, as some are being, to destroy the values themselves. Yet, quoting Thomas Mann: ' “‘The essential man is not the creature who hurls down bombs on children, but the mind that devised the flying machine, the seeker and builder, not the destroyer.” That the faiths and beliefs that are the chief asset of Civilization, Inc., are in danger is the concern of all of us, as stockholders in the enterprise, Dr. Sproul reminds us. ““Today there is in our world a powerful doctrine that such concepts are the spawn of a decaying liberalism.

The great hope for the maintainence of our common values is the renewal of the ancient, deepseated faiths, and a “dynamic faith in truth and in man.” This is what has builded Civilization once; if need be, it can do so again. : a Economy Continues — . ne On the fifth day of November, 1940—a little more than a month ago, now—the people of California went to the polls and by their votes declared that they were through with unsound State government. By returning the so-called economy bloc to Sacramento without regard to partisan politics, the people made it plain that they wanted economy, efficiency, and sanity in government to continue. Efficiency and economy in government began, of course, because of a groun of men. These men were in the state Legislature; they were representatives of their various districts, and they believed that the’ people of their districts had had enough. as they themselves had had enough, of squandermania. Out of their number. they selected a presiding officer, and under that presiding officer they preserved the state from a continuing financial debauch that could lead to but one place and that place bankruptcy. One of the most important parts of that program and one which resulted in the greatest economy was the Legislature's insistence that the administration of relief be efficient. To that end, the Legislature established monthly maximums, beyond which the relief spending could not go. One of the reasons for the Legislature’s session this month was to provide sufficient funds to carry relief on through until the next regular session, in January, but what did the Legislature find when it got to Sacramento? It found that the director of state relief had so efficiently performed his task that no further funds were needed, and that he had actually saved money for the state by not using funds up to the maximum provided. And what has happened to that state relief director? He has been fired by the Governor of the State of California. And why? Because. apparently, he discharged some supernumeraries around the relief administration for whom no use could be found. The Governor has seen by the elections-that-the people themselves wand the end of squandermania. How can he be so blind as to discharge a man for efficiency? How can he fail to see that the people of California want honesty, sincerity. efficiency. and economy in their state government? —Contributed COURT CALENDAR . Alpha Stores Ltd. vs. Johanna Burton.

The committee has definitely proposed retention of the present 25 and 45 mile per hour prima facie limits as the basic speed regulation in the state. : All members of the committee,. as well as citizens generally, recognize that prevailing speed on desert highways and many state highways ranges between 50 and 60 miles per hour, The committee has suggested that legislation authorize the state department of Public Works after traffic survey and investigation to highways for speeds in excess of 45, but in no event exceeding 60 miles per hour. It is further suggested that the State Department of Public Works be authorized to rezone present 25 mile per hour districts for higher speeds where the latter are customary and would be reasonable and safe. : Further, it is proposed that state department be authorized to reduce the 45 mile limit upon curves ae where there is a short 45 mile district between residential or business districts. es The committee recognizes that it is impossible by blanket state law to establish exact uniform limits that are entirely reasonable and appripriate under all conditions of traffic. The speeds proposal for zoning is to permit the signing of highways for speeds within the limits mentioned that are suitable to the particular conditions. If such zoned speeds are found to be unsafe, they can be reduced by administering action. Reference in the committe deliberations to a speed of 65 miles per hour has also been misunderstood. During many years the California law has prescribed a 45 mile per ‘hour prima facie limitation. In laymen’s language this means that any motorist traveling in excess of 45 miles per hour must. assume_ the burden thathis peed was reasonable and prudent at the time and _ place. The majority of courts have applied said limit rather strictly. During the past year several courts have given the prima facie. principle a very lib-. eral application. In several instances charges against motorists have been dismissed for speeds of 70 and 75 miles per hour. The Advisory Committee is strongly opposed to such speeds and has suggested that the law declare a maximum speed which shallnot in any event be more than 65 miles per hour at any time or place or under any conditions. It is suggested that such top speed, to be determined by the legislature, shall be an absolute maximum, The recommendations of the Advisory Committee will be submitted to the Legislative Motor Vehicle Interim Committee, consisting of three man of the Statewide Advisory Com-. mittee on Motor Vehicle Legislation. . ’ zone and signpost open stretches of the . * senators and six assemblymen, who will. further study and pass upon proposed revision of the speed regulations before the same are submitted to the legislature'in January.
