CHRISTMAS GIFTS
CHEER PARK BOYS
Generous Response Made to
Sidney S. PeixOtto's Appeal
for Financial Aid

Christmas brought gladness to the
hearts of Sidney S. Peixotto and his
Columbia park boys. due to the re-
ceipt of generous gifts of money in
answer to the appeal made by Peixotto
in an open letter on December for
financial aid in maintain this meritori-
Gus club. A fine new clubhouse is also
one of the possibilities of the near
future. thanks to a public spirited
woman,
In the letter Peixotte stated that for
the last 20 years he had devoted him
self to the boys club, but that the time
had come when he lacked the money
to continue the good work. He said
that If 1000 persons would contribute
only $40 apiece he would give his serv-
ices and maintain the club for FIVE
years more, but that If the money were
not forthcoming the club would have
to go out OF existence. This letter
attracted the attention of a number of
local capitalists and philanthropists,
and the response was prompt and lib
eral. AS a Christmas gift to the boys
large sum of money was sent to
Peixotto from various sources In vary
ing amounts, which will go a great
way toward remedying the deficit and
constitute a good start in answering
the appeal for aid.
w B. Bourn gave 1T Is said, $1,000,
and Templeton Crocker a like amount,
Mrs James G.. Jordan of 1898 Broad
way, widow of the real estate operator
who died recently, has made generous
offers of aid, and, it is said, is con-
templating the erection of a new. elab-
crate building for the boys club.
Many other contributions and offers
of aid have been made to the Columbia
Park boys club, the great value of
which is recognized by all who are
aware of its influence for good in
keeping boys away from the evil sur
roundings and associates of the streets
and giving them healthful amusements
and improving occupations in good
moral atmosphere. That the organi-
zation was not in good financial eondi-
tion was not generally known before
the publication of ePixotto's letter.
Although the response made to Peix-
otto's appeal is gratifying, the amount
thus far received still falls consider
ably short of the sum needed. but 1t is
thought that with present contribu-
tions as nucleus and example other
contributions will follow until financial
anxiety becomes a thing of the past
and the club takes on a new lease of
life.
