SANTA FROM STATES
Must Provide Christmas
Toys for Blind and
Crippled Halifax Chill
dren

Halifax, y. s., Dec. 20-An American
Santa Claus must provide Christmas
toys for hundreds of blind and Grip
pied children in hospitals here. The
limited stock carried by local dealers
has been exhausted.
A committee of women. to which
was assigned the duty of bringing
Christmas cheer to victims Of the ex-
plosion and fire that laid bare the less
populous section of Halifax, found to-
day that unless shipments were re-
ceived from the United States within
the next few days, plans for filling the
stockings of destitute children could
not be carried out
The bulk of holiday trade before the
disaster was in the purchase of gifts
for Nova Scotia forces overseas. These
had been mailed for delivery on the
battlefronts next week and Halifax,
long afflicted by the horror of war, had
planned for a quiet observance at
home.
Today, for the first time since the
doors and windows of every store in
the shopping districts We're shattered,
the crowds in the street We're able to
see evidences that the holiday season
was approaching. But the toy shops
We're empty, as the stocks on hand had
been taken over by the women's COM
mittee and sent to general relief head
quarters for distribution Monday night.
The supply is inadequate and it is for
this reason that Americans are asked
70 help Immediately.
AItnOngh Gilioant efforts no
made to obtain full list Of persons
blinded by the explosion, it was an
nounced at relief headquarters today
that no accurately approximate esti-
mate was available. The number, how
ever, may exceed 1000, including those
who lost the Sight of one or both eyes.
Many Of these are children and little
sifts which they never will see are
sadly needed to add to the meagre pile
OF things about their hospital beds.

Red Cross teams showed that HALO

seen plainly that the first allotment

thusiasm and cooperation of the

word and they are following out def
mite plans and thus avoid duplication
and interference.

Cracked Butternuts

1t makes a fellow step higher when
some big man says of him He is the
man in this town" But that
is nothing by the side of having a
little chap snuggle up to your side and
whisper softly, Il like you, You're so
good to me-"
There is lot of fun in taking a
crooked slip of tree and straighten-
ing it out. You pull it this way and
that and by and by it is really beauti-
full. Then, too, what splendid fruit it
bears, Makes YOU feel like saving.
Come up here, You old crooked life of
mine, Let me straighten YOU out,
You need it badly enough. Stand up
to the rack. 1t is going to hurt you a
little bit, Grin and bear it, The little
tree did. And you and are going to
keep at il until we are true and straight
and upright Then what fruit we will
bear for the world, We can do it.,
too. That is the best Of it,"
The outlook gets pretty hazy some
times for YOU and me- When that
happens, it is time for a little bit Of
ar inlook. Something wrong down in
the soul; for when the heart keeps
right the outlook is always bright and
CHEEKY. Let's find out what il is and
make it right Then let's keep it right.
Sometimes I think the best part of
cracking butternuts is cracking them.
What are we going to get? Meat or
shucks? Never mind if there be moth
ing more than empty hole once in a
while The next time will be all right.
Anyhow, we have gained bit Of
muscle in the arm that swung the
hammer. Makes us stronger for
cracking the harder nut tomorrow
