Dorey is in charge of hiring Macy's Santas, including an old man named Kriss Kringle (Richard Attenborough). He does a remarkably convincing job, and he soon reveals that he actually believes himself to be Santa Claus. The authorities threaten to place the old man in an insane asylum, but a young lawyer comes to his defense. Meanwhile, Dorey and Susan find their own defenses melting and become reacquainted with the power of faith.

TELEPHONE DIRECTORY SUPPLEMENT KEEP THIS PAGE! It has the latest new or corrected names, unit numbers, phone numbers, and email addresses that came in after our JULY 2016 edition of Collington’s Telephone Directory was prepared. This page contains a cumulative list of changes that have come in since July 5, 2016. Each month, remove the old supplement (if any), and attach this new one to your July 2016 Telephone Directory, until the next edition of the full Directory is issued.

PLEASE CHECK YOUR OWN INFORMATION, and send corrections or changes to [email protected], or call Charlotte Melichar at 7224. All these phone numbers are in area code 301. When dialing from a Collington phone, only the “extension” (the last four digits) is required.
