1 ! WfiTEB Mrs. Lewis Baker Santa's Appearance Set for Dec. 18 Officials of the Weeping Wa ter Community Club have an nounced this last week that the jolly old gentleman from the North Pole, Santa Claus, will make a pre-Christmas vis it to Weepin? Water on the af ternoon of Saturday, Dec. 18. Along with Santa's visit, club members are planning a pro gram for the youngsters of the community. A free movie with cartoons will be presented at the Chief Theater, and the members of the club will assist Santa in passing out treats to all children attending.
