CHRISTMAS WILL Be MADE
CHEERFUL AND BRIGHT
For The Deserving Poor Today When
They Are Visited BY Civic Club.

With loads of groceries, fruits, cloth
ing, shoes, toys, blankets and many
other articles pouring in yesterday the
philanthropic committee of the civic
club, assisted by committees represent
ing all the churches of Oakland, were
kept busy all day Tuesday receiving the
goods at the Lutheran church, their la
bors not ceasing until after six O'Clock
in the evening and yet many articles
were on the way and were delivered
early Yesterday Wednesday, morning
when the committee of ladies was pres
ent and worked faithfully until nearly
night in asserting the articles for those
who are to receive them this morning,
the deliveries to be made by Messrs. J.
NJ. Stanton and Thomas Harne who have
placed their teams and men at the dis
posal of the ladies'.
The room at the church resembled
more that of a department store Just
being thrown open to the public than
that of a charitable undertaking, for
upon one table there were piles upon
piles of toys and dolls. sleds and carts;
upon another clothing and shoes were
stacked in large array, while yet anoth-
er table was occupied by groceries,
fruits, dishes and other household
necessities.
Donations in cash amounted to quite
sum which will be used in making
purchases of coal and other things
absolutely necessary for the comfort
of the less fortunate of the community.
Thus far the undertaking has been
success far beyond the expectations of
the prime movers in the affair.
This paper has been promised de-
tailed statement of the articles and mon
ey received which will be published
next week.
