Original Toronto Star caption: After the peace and quiet of the North Pole; Santa's a bit nonplussed by the noise when small boys howl in terror at the sight of him; as they would at being plopped on to the lap of any hefty stranger. This may be why St. Nick retaliates with drums; bugles and pop-guns under the tree.
