Not often perhapa never before, has
there been an effort SO determined u
carry Christmas cheer into every
home in Skowhegan, as this year, and
possibly the need therefor has never
been as great. The Skowhegan Home
Christmas Committee, by whom the
above request for supplies is submit
ted, have personally visited all needy
families of which they could learn
and have found thus far 76 families
where genuine need is all too appar-
ent In these families are about 22l
children, eleven of them being babies
Of less than two years.
The kind-hearted ladies who have
done this work, are profoundly stirred
by the desttution which exists so near
us, condition they have not before
fully realized They wish to convey
to the public the emotions aroused
by the experiences they have had, be
licying that all will support them in
the effort to see that, for at least a
few days, at the Christmas season.
these needy homes, and especially
these children, may have a measure
of JOY brought into their lives. The
fact that the committee is the most
representative one that could possibly
be created and that aid proffered
through them will be sure of wise
disposal should lead all to share in
the work with generosity and enthus-
iasm. The efforts of this committee
are in line with the true spirit of
Christmas They are deserving of
loyal support.

also be considerably increased over
the sum which he is now receiving.
Mr.. Osborne and his wife have been
very popular among the townspeople,
and meanwhile have seen to it that
their church was well sustained in
every department. There have been
numerous additions to the church
membership, but owing to deaths and
removals the records do not show a
decided increase of members The
society certainly is in prosperous
condition and it is through no dis
satisfaction that the couple are lea
ing but simply because of the op
portunities the new location promises
to offer. On every side is regret eX
pressed at their departure and Skow-
hegan can only congratulate the cti-
zens of Lewiston upon the decidedly
helpful acquisition which they are TO
receive in the religious and social
circles of their city.
