Christmas this year. Almost 4oo
stockings full OF Christmas goodies
and toys were distributed. In addi-
ton shoes were, given to children IN
many homes from the funds donated
.by the Juniors and their friends.
There was heartier response this
year to this charitable endeavor than

suit Christmas cheer was carried IN
to more homes and hundreds OF little
hearts were gladdened. -
The Courier Is proud of Its juniors
nroud that they take such Joy IN CIV

while cheering other hearts has It's
reward for them. The benefit from the
knowledge they gain in the days OF
their youth that there Is as great

an aid in character building that
should exert a good influence IN the
years to come. =,
