Thai EUery Girl
and Boy MaySee
Old Santa Claus

There is no time in the life OF any
parent when that spirit of pride and
love becomes so inteTmingled as on
Christmas morning. when with de
light they watch their children glee-
fully playing with those precious
gifts left by the mythical Santa
Clause. But what must be the dis
appointments Of those more unfOr-
tunate mothers and fathers whose
worldly possessions will not enable
them TO allow their offspring to
share in the wonders of that one day
Of supreme happiness?
Many times sickness presents it
self and so drains the family income
that the buying of presents is not
permissible. But how can il be eX-
planned 10 the "kiddies'' that Santa
Claus in his one annual visit 10 the
children of the world was so unkind
as 10 pass them unnouced. Philan-
thropists say that is one way in which
uneasiness of the people is devcl-
oped.
Appeal for Help.
OF course the many charitable or
CARNATIONS of the world, IN their
self-sacrificing manner, endeavor to
reach the homes of the poor on
Christmas day and help TO distribute
happiness, but there will be many
children WIN will awaken on Christ
mas day and find that they have
been missed. In many homes that
spirit of pride is so strong that ac-
cepting help from others, even that
their children might not be forced
TO accept the disa appointments, would
never be permitted.
The charitable organizations are
again spreading their appeal for fl
nancial helT in the Christmas work
this year. In South Bend they are
asking you 10 help them. And when
on Christmas morning as you watch
your own 10Y, if YOU know that you
have given so that some other boy
or girl will share these same joys,
who otherwise would have been
forced 10 believe that Christmas JOYS
were only for those from the homes
Of the more prosperous.
