CHICAGO (AP) — A psychologist says kids
need Santa Claus. Even one on a billboard.
“Santa Claus, because of his consistent
good humor, his warmth and his generosity,
is an especially desirable companion for a
youngster,” declares Marilyn Whiteside, a
psychology professor at the University of
Maine at Gorham.
And although he only shows up once a year,
his influence is positive, she adds in U. S.
Catholic, a magazine published here.
"He's more interesting and less demanding
than parents,” says Prof. Whiteside. "And he
shares his power with children by declaring
himself their patron saint."
Last year, U.S. Catholic ran an article
criticizing Santa and asked readers to
respond to statements about him. Among
them was. "Santa teaches children to be
greedy.” Some 31 per cent of the readers re-
sponding agreed
This year only 15 per cent responded that
just married at age 22, has
better than 90 chances out of 100
of living for the next 30 years,
by which time there would be no
more dependent children on
hand.
—•---------- reached 65, their added life
The gap is expected to be
closed in the intervening years
they thought Santa helped teach greed. And 91
per cent responded they “never suffered any
harm as a consequence of the Santa myth.”
Prof. Whiteside also disagrees with Santa
critics who assert the white-bearded old
fellow competes with the Christ child.
“Actually,” she contends, “the hirsute old
gentleman is probably protecting the Christ-
mas Baby from the onslaughts of Madison
Avenue.
"As long as Santa smiles down from the
billboards and touts the latest toothpaste, the
new-born Messiah may remain in his
manger and testify solely to the goodness of
God.”
Prof. Whiteside takes issue with behavioral
scientists who suggest parents encourage the
Santa myth because of their own insecurity.
At least as likely a motive for Santa-
supporting parents is that they, too, enjoy a,
“brief and merry return to the fantasies of
their own childhood.”
