Santa



Today was a happy occasion for youngsters in this community. Jolly old Santa Claus arrived in Johnstown on his annual pre-Christmas visit to officially open the holiday shopping season. He was greeted in Central Park by hundreds of kiddies and by Mayor Walter E. Rose, who presented him the key to the city. The mayor, on behalf of the youngsters voiced a wish that Santa would be here "for a long time." Santa said he would. Then the gay old fellow turned on Christmas lights provided by the Retail Division of the Johnstown Chamber of Commerce. Giving Santa an assist at the light switch at the bas of Central Park's flag tower is three-year-old Karen Debona, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Debona of Vintondale.
