Santa Claus Is An Actor
New York. Dec. 5 — (U.P.)—Par- are more afraid of Santa Claus than children are, Robert Strauss, chief chimney climber of Santa's Helpers, incorporated said today.
Mr. Strauss, one of the actors from the Broadway hit "Detective Story," makes a business of recruiting and training fellow actors to be Santa Claus for persons who don't want to be Santa Claus.
He gave three suggestions, for those who do want to be Santa Claus, based on his own experiences in the business.
"Don't enter a house until the child you are visiting invites you in," he said. "Then he isn't afraid of you."
"Don't touch a child until he has touched you first.
"And then begin talking about little personal things in his life. This gives him the idea that Santa Claus does see all and know all. He decides that he believes in Santa Claus and you're his friend."
Helping parents out of a hole when their children announced that they didn't believe in Santa Claus was a scheme Mr. Strauss hit on to get himself out of a hole.
"I was employed in Hollywood in December 1947," he said. "Being broke at Christmas is tough. Someone suggested that I get a job as
Santa Claus and I put my imagina-
tion to work. I recruited a group of Santa Clauses and advertised our
services."
Mr. Strauss moved his business to New York in 1948 and called on 300 children.
Charles S. Manley, acting director of the Kansas department of civil service, said the jobs hold opportunities for advancement as high as $294 a month.

The toughest question children ask Santa is "where do you leave your reindeer." The best answer, Mr. Strauss said, is "Prancer hurt his right front leg this morning and the other reindeer are taking care of him. A friend loaned me his airplane, or car, or bicycle, whichever is appropriate."
