Much of the detail work of the big
celebration will be assumed by this or
ganization of we'll known women, whose
hearts are in the social and moral bet
terment of Los Angeles and her people,
especially the young folks.
The patronesses and working COM
nittees will in a few days arrange a
scheme of procedure to expedite the
collections of funds so that the scale
and extent of the gift distribution can
be estimated and plans be worked out
accordingly.
Early and generous response to the
appeaIs on behalf of the children are
urged, as the success of the ceiepra :
tion depends largely on the ablllty OF
the committees to reach all the poor
children and to make the gift bags
bulge with good things. The size or the
bags and baskets is limited only by the
generosity of Southern Californians.

worthy child should be overlooked.
