Much interest has been taken in The
AEorum Good Fellow Christmas Cheer
movement which is being promoted
by The Fargo Forum to aid the poor
children in having a happy Christmas,
the best day-of the year. In last even
ing's issue The Forum explained in de-
tall the plans of The Forum Good Eel
low Christmas Cheer Movement and
the plan has met with approval of the
public.
Mrs. Edwin G. Clapp will have
charge of the young ladies' committee
which will assist The Forum in its
plans and help in purchasing the gifts
for the tree. The Christmas tree will
be held at the Grand theatre this year
at 10 o'clock Christmas morning and
every effort will be made by the COM
mittee to find out who the needy chill
dren are and provide gifts for them.
The committee met at the Gardner
hotel this morning and made plans for
the purchasing of the gifts. Mrs.
Clapp will appoint the remainder OF
tine committee this week and another
meeting will be held Monday morning
at the Gardner hotel at IL o'clock.
The children's letters addressed to
The Forum will be kept and the gifts
which the children asked for will be
purchased by the committee with the
subscription money. A list of children
attending the free Kindergarten will
also be obtained and these children
will be included on The Forums list
The meeting this morning was an
enthusiastic one and each member OF
the committee will ask others to join
them in the work. Those present were
Mrs. Clapp, Misses Elizabeth Magill
Ethel LoWman, Dorothy Hanna, Her
moine Mitchell and Blanche Heath. A
large number of others will be present
at the meeting Monday morning.
There seems to be some confusion
as to The Forum Good Fellow Christ
mas Cheer movement and some people
have the idea that the object is tc
contribute to the comfort of someone
that would ordinarily be cared for by
!. organized charity. The object is tc
give the poor little tots of humble
homes Merry Christmas by getting
together for them dollies, and toys
that would not be thought Of by per-
sons who were caring for their ma.
teriaI wants.
