Santa's Helpers At The Workshop: Members of Ann Arbor Eastern Kiwanis Club put the finishing touches on wooden wagons in time for Santa to make delivery to the boys and girls in area institutions and needy families. Club members who are carrying on Project Warnhoff in memory of the late Ann Arbor Santa Claus, Albert Warnhoff, are surrounded by already finished doll cradles, wooden animals and church banks. Santa's elves here are (left to right), Charles Shade, Nathan Fairchild, Howard Fanning, Bill Davis, C. E. Dildine, project chairman Michael Flandzy, Warren Fischer, and Jack Beadle. All of the toys will be on display at an open house from 2 to 4 p.m. Nov. 25, at Santa's Workshop, 113 S. Fourth Ave.

Waiting For Happy Home: Some of the 200 Project Warnhoff dolls pose before Santa takes them off to make Christmas merry for many little girls. The dolls were dressed by some of the over 400 area women who responded to the Kiwanians' appeal in The News for seamstresses. The dolls will go to their little mothers in cradles completely outfitted by the members of the King's Daughters and by Mrs. H. B. Horton of 2110 Baker Rd. in Dexter, who alone made 60 complete sets of doll-sized bedding. Club president Duane Butler (left) with a wagon load of miniature building materials, admires a doll, slumbering as Paul Roeder holds her, but ready to wake up under the Christmas tree for the right little girl.
