The plan OF cooperation IN Christ
mas giving is meeting with much APP
proval from the people Of Greater
HClarksburg. The committee in charge
of this work may be found at any
December 25 at the rooms Of the.
Associated Charities in the Latstett
ed building
Already the committee has In it's
files complete and reliable informa-
tton concerning seventy-t1Ye to 100
needy families and persons interest
ed and active in this line Of work.
The names are coming in rapidly eY-i
cry day and it Is thought that many
times this numbe will be In the COM
mittee's hands before the dawn of
Christmas day. Fhe committee is
busy classifying and indexng these
names which avoids duplication. At
ter this each name is investig gated and
additional information is gathered
so as to make an intelligent dispose
\ ton OF the many cases. Asspecial ef-
fort is being made to see that every
family or persons receives their pro-
Isportionate share Of the good things
\ given out By the various charitable
u organizations Of the. city, and to- weed
out those who are prone to I'll og 1T 4
and substitute those who through
timidity or false pride hesitate to let
their wants be known at this season
I5of the year. The committee feels
that ff it can thus succeed In avoid
Ting duplication, and at the same
time see that every deserYtng family
I is fully cared for and remembered
with its share of Christmas cheer. it
has gone a long way towards accom-
iplishing something worth while and
lsomething that ought to become a
lpTecede lent to the people Of ClarkB-
lburg.
/ The people have responded heart
lilly toward helping the committee to
i.get a proper list Of names. Several
LOT the larger churches Of the city,
