MONEY AND SUPPLIES NEEDED


a strong C, mbiration against the biting
blasts of winter. The vast majority of The
Stars readers thus fortified against in
clement weather can scarcely realize the
intense suffering hundreds, even thousands,
of poor people In Washington undergo in
midwinter.
The proceeds of The Evening Star Santa
Claus Club pound party to be held tomor-
row VIII be distributed among the deserv-
ing poor through the recognized charitable
agencies of the District, and will, 1t Is
hoped. go far toward relieving suffering.
and bring comfort to many cheerless house
holds
Every man. woman or child who has
more than the bare necessities Of life can
and should contribute. If all so situated
should respond to the call, just think what
the result would be! Let every one who
can, and there are comparatively few who
cannot, send pound, and let those who
can send many pounds of imperishable
supplies to the nearest scho oil building.
These contributions Will be collected and
distributed to those who deserve to be as
sisted. The parents Of school children
should see that the little ones go to school
tomorrow morning with their arms full Of
packages.
Don't ccnfine yourself to pounds-send
money. The school teachers are the au-
thorized agents of the Santa Claus Club;
they will turn it over to the executive COM
mittee and it will be disbursed through the
clubs disbursing agents-the supervising
principals of the District public schools.
They report that their experience of past
years shows that one Of the greatest needs
of poor people in winter time is shoes, and
tod p
tending school in stormy or cold weather
because their feet are not protected.
The supervising principals. therefore,
make it a point to hunt out such children
IL, their school districts, and, by supplying
them with she es, enable them to attend
SCHOOL.
Therefore send money or imperishabie
supplies to the nearest school building, and
you may rest satisfied that the contribu-
tic ms will do good.
Contributions of clothing cannot be re-
ceived at the school buildings for sani-
tary reasons.
There will be branch receiving depot at
The Evening Star office, and those who
prefer to send their pounds there can do SO.
Money subscriptions will also be gladly re-
ceived at The Star office, and the money
will go into the club fund to be expended
way as the money contributed through the
school teachers.
After having turned your contribution in
do not worry any more about the matter.
The Evening Star will see to the collec-
ton of the supplies and all the transporta-
ton that is necessary.
Just contribute-the rest will be attended
to. If you think it Is too much trouble 10
send package, send some money to The
Star Office in the morning. If you realized
the good work you swere doing you
wouldn't think it too much trouble to do
both-send the package and the money.
The postmaster at Takoma, Mr.. H. E.
Warren, has offered to receive and deliver
in the city all the contributions that those
living in his neighborhood are willing to
make.
