PENNIES COUNT
BIG WHEN GIVEN
OUT OF SAVINGS
Real Santa Claus Spirit is
Abroad Among Children of
the City, Who Give liber-
ally of Their Savings.

There is a Santa Claus, sure
enough The spirit is everywhere
What else could possibly move the
people OF this city to provide a
Christmas celebration for the boys
and girls who otherwise would be
without, unless the Santa Claus
spirit prevailed? Many child lie
going to have happier Christmas
this year than ever before because
of the knowledge that he or she has
done something to make others
happy.
When the children are willing tC
give up their own money at this time
of year it means something. One OF
the contributions acknowledged to-
day was brought to the EVENING
NEWS office by little chap who
placed a bulging envelope on the
desk and said 1t was for the Christ
mas tree fund. 1t consisted mainly
of pennies, but when added up II
amounted to seventy cents. The
youngster said it was from Mr.
Predmore's boys and departed.
Some of the hearts that thump sc
merrily In the breasts Of the boys
and girls Of this city are a great deal
bigger than the size OF their bodies
would Indicate. 1t requires the gen
uine Santa Claus spirit for child to
give the pennies he has been saving
for his own Christmas, to fund tC
make a happy Christmas for others
This is spirit that should be en-
couraged. 1t means much to the
children In later years. The reaI
Christmas spirit is giving, and II
means much more II we give to those
who have little or nothing, rather
than to those who have plenty.
The Santa Claus spirit is being
manifested In the boys and girls OF
this city as never before. 1t is a
noble thing to give to cause like
this. A few pennies from each child
who is sure OF a merry Christmas
would make an ample fund for 8
merry Christmas for all. II the pen
nies come from the childs own
savings, so much the better.
In the meantime the older folks
can help a lot and their assistance
