again some other day. At the first

sage to us in that form.
MANY a little tot told how mother
had explained that Santa Claus was
poorer this year than ever before;
that he had no time to make SO
many toys for he was working hard
sending gifts and food, clothes and
hospital supplies to the thousands of
our boys over there that maybe he
would remember the children here
this year with warm mittens or a
little extra for dinner.
"Although there has been slight
tendency to be a little forgetful Of
needs near at home because our hearts
and minds and time are so full of the
present war conditions, New Britain
friends of the Charity Organization
have been most generous. Many small
gifts of money showed us the wide
circle Of friends we have and gave us
the privilege of providing much
Christmas cheer. Churches, Bible
schools, separate classes, scout troops,
individuals, asked to be allowed to
give through our organization to some
one less fortunate than themselves. Our
New Britain Lodge of Elks continued
their wonderful Christmas giving to
an even greater extent than usual this
year, remem bering several dozen fam
lilies with bountiful dinners, purchas-
ing warm underwear for half a. hun
dred youngsters known to the Charity
Organization and sending Christmas
boxes of goodies to all the New Brit
ain boys at the Meriden Reform
School. New sweaters and mittens
went to another hundred or more
school boys and girls; all given in the
true spirit of Christmas, quietly, with
out show, just as a Santa Claus re-
membrance.
"Through the kindness of these
generous hearts and many other
thoughtful donors this society was
able to send cheer and happiness into
many a home on Christmas eve and
morning.
"Many a mother by special invita-

tree and to take home with her
