KNIT SOCKS AS they Wait
Women Receiving Gifts at Hospital Put
in Part of Time Making Stockings
for European Soldiers

Mixing of charity with charity is a
feat performed to-day by a committee
of the Women's Aid Society of the
Harrisburg Hospital. The golden rule
is being carried out in its broadest
sense. During the lull of receiving
Thanksgiving gifts at the hospital the
members of the reception committee are
knitting socks for the soldiers now at
war in Europe.
The knitting needles fly until a wag-
on pulls up to the door laden with gifts
of foodstuffs for the hospital. The
goods are carefully placed in the ap-
pointed places in the storeroom where
upon the women resume knitting until
interrupted by the arrival of another
load
By noon the hospital had received
seven turkeys short of the number
sought. The turkey budget was placed
at twelve and but five have been re.
ceived at that time. Delicaeies and
staples are being received in gratifying
quantities. Small towns in this vicinity
are contributing generously, but the
turkey donors this year are not coming
to the front as fast as desired.
Among those on the committee are
Mrs. Henry Mccormick, Miss Anne Nc
Cormick and Miss Letitia Brady. Mrs.
Mccormick has always taken a great
interest in the hospital and is personally

HOLIDAY BASKETBALL
Garnet Five, of Philadelphia, VIII Be
Attraction at Armory

Inc Garnet five, of philadelphia, will
.oe the treat which the Harrisburg
Basketball Association will provide has,
ketball followers tomorrow evening at
the Armory. Manager Tagqart has
been endeavoring to secure this five for
several weeks, but was unable TO break
in on the schedule which they had ar.
ranged with the strongest teams in the
State.
Last year on Thanksgiving evening
this same team defeated the local five
by a score of 36 to 16. HARRISBURG
has won all of the games played so far
this year and, with one of the stronges,
teams in their history, will endeavor
to make the series even in this game.
Their lineup will be practically the
same as that of last SATURDAY., when
thdy easily downed the Parkesburg
five.
On the Garnet FIVE are HARE and
Dienes, forwards; Kerr, at center, and
Barker and Ehlers, at the two guards.
Ehlers last year played guard on the
varsity team of the University of Penn
sylvania team and was one of the can.
didates for the all-star basketball team.
Following the game the usual dance
program will be held.
