canvasser pretty closely. after proving by
his own statement that he had already

vRsser came back at me with the blunt
statement. Yes. but We have a debt Of a

that IL is not quite right to use
the Christmas spirit as an excuse to raise
money. not for dinners for needy people
altogether. but TO pay debts

that q great many OF them have given
pretty literally for Christmas dinners
