Santa's Helpers: The Ladies Auxiliary to Graf-O'Hara Post 423, Veterans of Foreign Wars, is helping Ann Arbor's Santa Claus with his seasonal duties by contributing bedding for 50 cradles which Santa made for needy children. The auxiliary's Cancer Sewing Group made pads, sheets, comforters, pillows and pillow cases at their weekly meetings during the year, and presented the bedding to Albert F. Warnhoff, Franklin Blvd., yesterday at the VFW Memorial Home. Showing Santa what the group accomplished at their meetings are (left to right) Mrs. Ira Wisley and Mrs. Frank Heusel.

A Merrier Christmas: A tricycle for six-year-old David Bauer, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Bauer of 65 Westover St., made Christmas brighter for the entire family. David, stricken with polio in September, 1954, was not expected to walk again. Christmas Day, 1954, found him flat in bed. But here - a year later - he's perched on his tricycle, wearing his best suit, corset and chin brace, as well as a wide grin.
