before.

this season, packed the bags Of the
carriers to and beyond the gun
wales. they started out this MORN
ing with large stock Of smiles
and pleasant greetings to leave in
their paths along the way. Anoth-
er big load awaited them when they
returned in the afternoon. but that
fact failed dismally to knock 4 sin
gle portion of cheer out of their
cheerfulness.
As has been the custom in past
years, the Associated Charities will
again distribute baskets and other
gifts to needy families on Christ
mas day. The aim Of the organic
alton is to see that no one is over
looked and that no family shall re-
ceive more than one basket. Those
desiring to send baskets to be dis
tributed at the discretion OF the
matron are urged to have them in
at the associations headquarters by
tomorrow.
