prise to be theirs in the very near fu-
ture, which is now taking final form
and shape under the hands of the ca
pable committee in charge of the sol
diers' gift box, there would be an air
of iubilant elation akin to the sup
pressed excitement and general hilar-
i ity, which precedes the mystery-tipped
arrival of the Christmas mail. The
four boxes, which are to convey the
medley Of choice remembrances to the
Salem boys cover there" were made
at the high school yesterday and each
at the high school yesterday and the
Ipacking of each one will be started
tonight at the Salem Wooden Mllls
store on Commercial street. The pro-
portions of the boxes correspond WIth
the standard size of those which the
Red Cross headquarters use in shipping
supplies, being two feet in depth, two
in width and three in length. SeYeral
Salem women, who have not forgotten
that the "smal boy grown-up, as
we'll as his sister, is the possessor OF a
clamoring sweet tooth, have volunteer
ed several packages of home-naue
lcandy, for the lads, now too far away
to conveniently reach the plate OF can
DIV cooling in their mothers pantry
win AoJy. as of yOre. It is requested thaV
these contributions of sweets Do
hronoht TO the Woolen Mills store, as
coon as possible. Among the donations
reouested which so far, have not peeh
received to any marked degree, are
|v;ctrola records. These, needless 70
SOW would while away many a dul
Toomant for the boys longing for a
little music such as the old DAYS az
home afforded so plentifully. All re5-
atiyes or friends who have the au
dresses of Salem men not in Company
M hut now located in France, are urg-
cd to- send them to one of the commit
400 members. so that all Salemtes-
overseas NAV be reached and remem.
