time for caring and sharing. Christmas can be a time
of hardship for many of those less fortunate. Hotrod
Dreamworks and the area Kiwanis are once again col-
lecting canned food and unwrapped toys in an effort
to bring joy and comfort to those in need.
There is a Kiwanis drop off container at Hotrod
Dreamworks, 24315 S
Highway 99E, behind
Canby Ford, for non-
perishable food and
unwrapped toys until
Dec. 18.
The number of
homeless youths and
families in our own
community is hard to
imagine. It is estimat-
ed that there are over
18,000 homeless
youth in Oregon with
the highest homeless
youth rate in the
Portland area right
here in our home
town. Your thought-
fulness and generosity
go a long way to help-
ing these youngsters
experience the joy of
the season.
The need is great
and you are asked to
drop off a donation of
non-perishable food
or an unwrapped toy
from now until Dec.
18. Imagine a child on
Christmas morning
with nothing to eat
and not one gift. For
most of us that is something we have never faced, but for many
of our neighbors it is reality. We can all make a difference.
Hotrod Dreamworks would like to wish everyone a very Merry
Christmas. Thank you in advance for your donations. If you
would like to make a cash donation please contact the Kiwanis
at
for more information. Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year from Hotrod Dreamworks. Give
us a call at 503-266-6511.

In the untranslated dialogue with the Dutch girl, Santa Claus asks the
child what she wants for Christmas the girl says she wants nothing, telling
Santa she got her gift by being adopted by her new mother.
Unbeknownst to most parade watchers, Edmund Gwenn played Santa
Claus in the actual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade held November 28,
1946. He fulfilled the duties of most parade Santas, including addressing the
crowd from the marquee of Macy's after the parade was over. He was intro-
duced to the crowd by
actor Philip Tonge (he
played Mr.
Shellhammer in the
movie) and he later
unveiled the mechani-
cal Christmas display
windows to the accom-
paniment of Pyotr
Ilyich Tchaikovsky's
"Nutcracker Suite."
This gesture symbol-
ized the opening of the
Christmas shopping
season at the store.
Despite the fact
that the film is set dur-
ing Christmas, studio
head Darryl F. Zanuck
insisted that it be
released in May
because he argued
that more people went
to the movies during
the summer.
