I T WASN'T LONG after Santa's arrival in Lynbrook last Saturday morning that he had established
temporary Headquarters and started receiving guests. Talking things over with the jolly old visitor from the
North Pole are Larry and Janet Gaugler, sitting on Santa's lap. Waiting to put in his request is Scott Miller.
Santa has promised Murray Levit of Mur-Lees Men's and Boys Shop that he'll visit Lynbrook again on the
next two weekends. If you haven't seen him yet, be looking for him in any of the local banks or through the
Lynbrook Shopping center.
Hundreds Welcome Santa
Santa Claus arrived in Lynbrook last Saturday in a blaze of glor)'~aboard a bright red fire
engine, with sirens screaming, bells clanging, and lights flashing. The Grand Old Patriach of
children's Christmas was driven to the Earle A ve. parking field from the edge of the village
wlwre he liad parked his sleigh and eight tiny reindeer. He was met by hundreds of his little
(ai>d big) admirers wlio gave him an enthusiastic welcome.

tiiiKuished Visitor were T r u s t e e
( ^ f s J- Gambee, representing vil-

Old St. Nick tlien strolled up and
down Atlantic Ave., wishing one

I I ^ A somewhat more serious vein
tor such a happy fellow, he also re-minded
his little admirers to be
good boys and girls, "even after
Christmas." He also listened to the
Christmas gift pleas of the younger
