Santa Claus has used just about every type of vehicle to arrive in the Ann Arbor area this year. Yesterday he showed up at the Pittsfield Township hall on S. State Rd. on the township fire truck. In his greeting of children of township firemen, Santa (Ira F. Wisely of 1209 Clague) is aided by (from left) Pittsfield Firemen Robert West, Richard Payeur, Harold Fritts, Al Ebersberger and Russ Payeur. Usually Santa arrives in a more prosaic vehicle.
