man, who will direct the musicians
at the concert. Mr.. Redding told me
complete program will be ready for
announcement within few days. He
says 1t will be rare treat for Good
fellows who love music. There will
be more than 35 pieces in the band
when the overture is played.
That Goodfellows, is the first Of
these shows. In a day or so l am
going to call on a prominent theatri-
cal man, a man who already has
limited that he Is going to do some
thing fine for the Goodfellows. 1t
Is quite likely that will have some
thing of interest to tell you early
next week. l will drop a hint. Re-
member our show of last year on
Main street?
Familiar Names.
The second days corrections sur
passed the opening list. And many
were the familiar names. Checks
which heavy-loaded postman
brought to my desk bore names,
some of which can remember for a
number of years.
Mind YOU, though, members of the
letters were not subscriptions, The
postman, who himself is Goodfel-
low, remarked that it looked as
though the letters from the Riddles
were far outfumbering those. the
handwriting on whose envelope de-
noted check inside" The postman
knows. For some time now he has
been bringing mail to the Goodfellow
and 1t is almost uncanny the way he
ran spot letter from some young
ster who writes telling me that I'M
less, the .Goodfellows see otherwise
Kriss Kringle is sure to forget that
there Is chimney at his house.
Newsboy Remembered,
Indeed we need subscriptions, big
ones, middle-siz ones and wee ones.
Talking of wee contributions, q 1
newsboy came to my desk yesterday
afternoon and hanGed me 81 cents in |
pennies. He said:
SAY couple of years ago you
guys brought me and. mother lot |
of Christmas stuff. | haven't for
got that, and here's what | made to-
day for the Goodfellows. I'm work. |
ing now"
Now, Goodfellows, that Il the real
spirit of this club. That kid didn't |
forget. How can you, who are as
sured of fat Christmas, one at
home with maybe several Riddles of |
your own, all of whom will rush |
eagerly to their stockings Christmas
morn to find them well filled, you
who are certain of fine plump tur-
key -on the Christmas. dinner table. |
how can you forget those children
of want who won't have all these !
things.
There are numerous families here
who will need coal, clothing, some |
whose rent is in arrears, Riddles |
whose toes are peeking through shoes |
of last winters vintage and the |
Goodfellows must take care of them. |
In each bag it will be our endeavor |
to- place some of the things which |
carry Christmas cheer to the hearts |
of those youngsters, bit of a toy, |
some OF the good things that more |
children than you think see but once |
each year and sometimes not then |
unless the Goodfellow calls. Send |
that check to The News Scimltar |
Goodfellows club, The News SCim- |
itar. Send It today,
Lest you forget, Goodfellows. To |
you is granted the satisfying |
task of preventing the day of days |
from being a day of mockery. a day |
TO be feared instead of revered. For |
you are, in truth a Santa Claus, a /
Silent Santa. to the poor--a Good
fellow.
