CONNECTICUT EXCEEDS QUOTA
 FOR HOOVER RELIEF, FUND


 Connecticut has raised $67O,25O.99 to date for the suffering children of central and eastern Europe, and by so doing has gone lover the top," exceeding it's orig nal quota estimate by S20,250.99. Seat tering contributions are still being re- ceived which will further swell this to- tai. The collection was made by the European Relief Council, of which Her bert Hoover is national chairman.
 The original estimate of the National Relief Council called for an expenditure of $33.O0O.OOO to adequately carry out the child relief programs. Of this amount the Connecticut state committee was asked to raise $650 900. Due to the decrease in the price of food com modities it was later determined that s29. 9.O00, 900 would carry out the full relief programs.
 Of the three big states in the union which went lover the top.'' the other two being Minnesota and Michigan. Con- necticut leads on percentage basis, rakning first in this respect of all the large states in the Union in this cam paign.
 Fifty-three state committees in the United states and outlying possessions | took part. in the collection and the starv- | ing Euronean children will get the full benefit of every contribution made ir their behalf This is made possible be- cause the cost of making the collection | which was less than 2 1-2 per cent. was contributed through outside sources. thus permitting every penny contributed to gt I directly to the relief of the children | The Connecticut state committee '. highly pleased with the work of the cit, | and town committees and has comDli mnntAd < the local committees on thef rrlendid work.

so don't scold. | could not help It,"
But in spite of the kiss and Santa s
jolly face, Mrs. Santa. was cross and
she began to scold. Where have you
been all this time. Here the sun is al
most up and my breakfast all spoired.
You started on time, why are you so
late in returning she asked all in
one breath
Santa pulled of his cap and coat
fand mittens and sat down at the table
without answering. He even took n
sip of his stcaming coffee before he
replied to his wife's question. Then
he said; "My dear, there were some
children that just would rot 90 1to
sleep, and, of course, had to wait
until they did before could leave
their Christmas presents. That, oi
course, made me late.
II kept my part of the bargain tC
leave the gifts, hut they failed to keeT
theirs 10 go to sleep early on Christ
mas Eve, so that is the reason ! an
late for breakfast. Now bring along
the bacon and the rolls, for l am a!
hungry as a big cinnamon bear"
Mrs. Santa did not scold any more
but you see how it is. If the children
on Christmas Eve insist upon keeping
awake it bothers Santa and makes hin
late getting back to his home and hi
wife will scold him. So you must d.
your part TO help him by going to bet
early the night before Christmas ant
going TO sleep at once.

and hard what he should do TO get

All the star children were peeking at
the toys trying to see what they were

All at once Santa's fdce frightened

Santa WAS at his wits end, for teal
he cannot bear to ses. Here, here

and all the time she grew cross at
her husband for being so late, when
it wasn't his fault at all, as you will
soon learn.
Santa Claus had started out on time
and his reindeer were feeling very
frisky, so they carried him over the
snow-covered housetops, in the coun-
tries where the snow had fallen very
fast and he was not a bit late in get

the reason he was late returning to

up the hill.

for the sleighbells, but no sound or

SANDMAN STORY FOR
MONDAY NIGHT
Santa Claus and the Star Children n

Santa Claus and the Star Children
1t was Christmas Eve and Santa
Claus was Just starting out with his
sleigh full of presents. IL was bitter
cold night and Santa was wrapped
from head to foot in his big fur coat
so that all that could be seen of his
Jolly face were his two bright eyes
and the tip OF his nose, which was red
already from the cold.
Santa Claus looked up in the sky at
the twinkling stars and that proved
to be his undoing / mean by that il
was the cause of his being very late
making his rounds to the homes with
the Christmas gifts.
1t was such a clear night that all
the little star children were looking
straight down at the earth and one
of them espied Santa and his sleigh
heaped high with gifts for the earth
children and pointed him out to the
others.
EOf course the star children did not
know what he had in the sleigh but
| they wanted to know, so when SAINTS
looked up at them they all beckonec
to him blinking and winking in sucf
an inviting maHnef thal Chhla quitt
forgot his nights work.
/ A moonbeam made path straigh
to the sleigh, 50 with his eyes still OF
the twinbling stars, Santa guided hi
reindeer up the path and on the snow,
clouds and away they dashed up t.
the star children.
What have you got in the sleigh?'
they all asked as soon as he stopped
the prancing reindeer.
