SUNSHINE LEAGUE MEETS
Members Aim to Bring Cheer Into Lives of Men in
Service-Much Appreciation Shown of
Letters and Gifts

THE Soldiers and Sailors Sunshine
= League held It's regular monthly meeting
this week AT the home Of Miss Elizabeth CAL
lagher' Fifty-nfth street and Springfield ave-
nue. This is the headquarters of the league
which has accomplished such wonderful
amount Of good work in the few months since
its organization.
The aim Of the league is TO bring sunshine
and good cheer into the lives OF our men who
are stationed at the various camps. canton
ments and navy yards throughout the coun-
try not forgetting those who have already
gone over there
Among the first happy acts OF the sun
sinners tas one grateful young soldier called
them) was the distribution of about forty
games Including twenty games of Indoor
baseball which were sent TO as many differ
ent camps all over the United States. These
games which made a great hit with all the
fortunate recipients, we're the Bift of Mr..
Walter Pohlig. who has been most generous
in helping on the work Of the Sunshine
League.
Soon after the baseball games had been
sent out 20 the camps in this country. box
containing Seyenty-iive Christmas kits was
started on its way overseas. Each kit was
generously filled and contained such articles
as cigarettes, playing cards, chocolate, mouth
organs, writing paper, pencils and chewing
gum. When Christmas drew nearer, the
members OF the Sunshine League decided TO
make it real" Christmas Day for at least
one company OF men, and selected for this
honor the otherwise neglected men Of the
Auxiliary RemOunt Depot at one OF our
southern camps The sergeant Of this COM
pauy had sent a list of some OF the most
needy men, and twenty-five sweaters were
Immediately made by the active members OF
the league and sent down even before Decem-
Der 25
In addition to this, 220 separate packages
were made up, each containing cigarettes, to-
bacco, chocolate and chewing gum, and these
we're attractively wrapped in white paper
and red ribbon, and bore little Christmas
card which showed the name OF both the
donor and recipient.
Besides adding this personal touch to their
gifts, the "Sunshiners" showed their Santa
Claus spirit by sending fifty of the kits In lit
tie colored socks gayly trimmed with silk
fringe and gilt tasseis.
An interesting fact, and one most encour-
aging to the members of the league, Is that
every single gift which has been sent TO the
soldiers has been promptly and gratefully ac-
