Postman Frank Bacon has been dogged by four-legged foes long enough - so he's retiring and letting the canines give their teeth a rest. Bacon, who has just ended a 34-year career delivering mail, figures he must have notched some sort of record - bitten 23 times. "Dogs knew I was afraid of them," Bacon said at his retirement party Sunday. "That's why they bit me." "The owners all tell you the same thing. 'Don't worry mister, he doesn't bite.' Then the dog bites you and he says, 'Well, well, he never did that before.' "Small dogs are the worst. They can get you three or four times before you know what happened. Large dogs, they get you only once." His supervisors once had Bacon pose with puppies for publicity pictures. "They got three puppies," Bacon recalled. "And I'm 1 I J: X1 ? ? . 1 . ~ nuiuing mem in my arms waning ror ine pictures - ana one of them bit me." Mistaken Santa Claus fed up CHICAGO (AP) ? Circuit Judge Arthur "Santa Claus" Rosenblum is laying down the law. For six years, from November until after Christmas, Rosenblum's home telephone has rung "at all hours of the day and night" with calls from children who misdialed a special Santa hotline. The number was similar to Rosenblum's. "There'd be this little, thin, piping voice on the line saying, 'Hello, Santa Claus?"' Rosenblum was quoted as saying Friday. "What am I going to do, be Scrooge? So I'd say, 'Yes, this is Santa, little girl.' And the voice would say, 'No, this is a little boy.' Enough is enough, he says. Before this Christmas comes, he's changing his number. "I finally got pretty good," Rosenblum added. "I'd ask if they'd been good. I'd say, 'Ho, ho, ho.' They'd say, 'You promised me this and that last Christmas and I never got it." "I'd say, 'My bag was too full,' or 'Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer had a cold,' or 'Wait till next year' if they called right after Christmas. Then I'd ask for their mom and say, 'Madame, this is a wrong number. Your child thinks I'm Santa. I covered for you.'" USC today PLAY ? "Suddenly Last Summer." Longstreet Theatre, 8 i p.m. RH FILM ?

Ernest Hollings' presidential campaign has raised almost $1 million this year, but has debts of more than $200,000, according to financial statements filed with the Federal Election Commission this week. The South Carolina Democrat has about $56,000 in available cash and has $228,867 in debts as of Oct. 15, in_t 1 _ _ 1 AA AAA 1 f n - 1 - J T a ?

"As he gets better known, the money's going to come," | said Billy Keyserling, of the Hollings' campaign's financial I problems. "WE HAD hoped to do better but it was a long, long, hot summer," said Keyserling. "All the campaigns had a terribly, terribly tough summer." Don Fowler, former chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party and a political consultant, was brought into the Hollings campaign to draft a strategy for the senator. "I have come up with what I consider to be the political plan, but I don't know if we can afford it," Fowler said Tuesdav. The plan is to redirect Hollings' resources into the New England states, particularly in New Hampshire where the nation's first primary will be held in March. HE SAID Hollings' political activities in the rest of the nation will be limited, except for trips to major metropolitan areas for fund raising. Democratic frontrunners Walter Mondale and John Glenn each have raised about $5 million. Aides are hoping that Hollings financial fortunes will take a . turn for the better this January when he is eligible to receive federal matching funds. Keyserling said the Hollings' campaign can make loans against the anticipated matching funds. ABOUT $600,000 of approximately $987,000 Hollines has J raised qualifies for matching funds, since it met the federal requirement of arriving in contributions of $250 or less. troubled area school rents stormed out of a black.
