SANTA ARRIVES SAFELY: Santa Claus was flown safe and sound into Ann Arbor this morning by the Junior Chamber of Commerce for his annual pre-Christmas appearance. Here, on the stage of the Michigan Theater, he talks to Michael Glas, as his dad, Wagar A. Glas of 1501 Ardmoor Dr., looks on. Michael's sister, Sally, has just spoken to Santa. Visiting youngsters received gifts and heard carols. After leaving the theater, Santa was to head for the children's ward at St. Joseph's Mercy Hospital.
