SANTA WILL REMEMBER: Nor forgotten at Christmas will be approximately 50 Washtenaw county children who are wards of the Michigan Children's Aid Society. Some of the 50 are shown here listening to Rupert Otto play the piano at a pre-Christmas party held Saturday at the Dixboro Methodist Church. Santa Claus paid them an "unofficial" visit there and gave assurances that he would also be on hand with gifts on Christmas Day.
