Christmas To Be City-wide School Children To Help The Needy

Christmas cheer will be city-wide in Phoenix this year.
 Although conditions among the poorer classes are said to be much more severe this year than last due primarilytO the high cost O. living t Is believed that the various organi- cations carrying on Christmas relief work will be successful in their at trmpts to care for each needy home.
 There are countless individuals who W ill play tine role of Santa Claus this Nulctide season and like the mythical santa of childhood. their identity will never be known. They will jump into their slcighs in the wee small hours returning tO their homes before uay break, their missions completed unAe- known to the beuefactors.
 The names of these persons, as stated above will never be published, mainly because these people have theic own cicarlv defined Ideas of admins tcring Christmas cheer to some per son of family who has been less for tunate than themselves. They carry on tieir own work in a quiet, unas- suniag manner claiming nothing for their acts of kindness. But if you must know who these individuals are, inst stroll down the public highway. and when you run across the man or woman who with great big smile. humming or whistline to him or her. self you will readily know that he is one of the Little dream-day Santa Clauss"
 Then there aIe the charitable o-ga- nizations such as the Associated Charities and the Salvation Army. These associations carry on their Christmas work on a gigantic seal a and it is therefore necessary ;o sc- licite aid from the public. Their work is worthy Of every support and aid.
 Undoubtedly several local fratornal organiz1 ticns Uili administer the Yuletidc spirit to a number of fam lilies who find life's journey one of troublesome anxiety a hard pull over the rough mountainous highway
 From present Indications. tfc l9i6 Christmas day will go down as enc oi greatest joy and happiness in Phoe- nix. because everybody. poor and rich. will repeat benefits from the giving.

HOW RED CROSS SEAL
 IDEA CAME INTO BEING
Orisinatina in Norway, Method Was
 Taken Up Here Mine Xcarn Ann

al
 Taken Up Here Nine Years Aao
 over S3.250. 900 has been raised by Red Cross Christmas Seals in the last elght years. and yet many people who will buy these holiday stickers at this ninth annual sale do not know how this idea originated
 While Red Cross Seals really date back to the Civil War when Charity Stamps were first used the first carn- paign to sell holiday stickers for the tuberculosis fight was only nine years ago in Delaware. Miss Emily r. ils- sell of Wilmington read an article by Jacob Riis describing stamps used for tuberculosis work in Norway. and she conceived the idea of similar plan here. Single handed, she launched a sale which resulted in S3.000 clear mon ey. When Miss Bissol tried to con vince the American Red Cross that this idea should be made national as peace activity Of that society. she met with opposition, but finally persuaded the authorities. with the result that on an investment of a few hundred dollars $l35. 900 worth of Seals was sold in 1908 and the great national campaign was launched. Since then the sale has gone forward by leaps and bounds, until now the Red Cross Seal is an institu- ton in the United States and offers to every one chance to help in the peo- ple's fight against the peoples disease. Last year over 76.000.O00 Seals were sold and this year the American Red Cross and The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuber- culosis, who conduct the sale, are out for a 100000. 900 sale or $l,000,000 for the Tuberculosis War
 The policy on which the sale is con- ducted is that the money, except for the deduction of legitimate expenses, shall remain in the community where the Seals are sold.
