Tommie Meeks, who Is a very
small boy about four years old we
guess. walked proudly into The
News-Times office yesterday after
noon and after his father had lifted
him up on the front counter, he
proudly handed US an envelope
marked boldly:
100 Pennies
From Tommie Meeks
for Tower OF Babel
Christmas Fund
For long time. so his father told
Us. Tommie has been listening to his
father read OF the progress OF The
Tower fund in The News-Times.
And Tommie saved his pennies from
day to day. until he finally accumu-
lated hundred, which he wants to
go to some poor little kidIe to
make him happy.
Folks, aren': you PROUD Of Tom
mic? For three years at Christmas
time, we've been collecting money
for the City Rescue Missions poor
folks at Christmas time and we
don't recall an instance in that time
when a contributor was any happier
or any proude: than was little Tom
ME yesterday afternoon.
Nearly $500 was added to The
Towers fund yesterday for the mis-
sion, making the total now contrib
uted $2.400.4S. Just three more
days are left TO give TO this great
Cause-to give genuine Christmas
happiness to 900 needy folks who
are wards OF the mission. and TO
tender the children, 500 strong. a
magnificent turkey dinner at the
Oliver hotel next Saturday noon.
Everything is in readiness for the
celebration with one exception
MORE MONEY IS NEEDED.
More than $2.7OO was the amount
raised last year. Every dollar was
devoted to make the mission folks
happy Christmas Folks. let's get
busy. We MUST beat last years
record and remember too, that
every penny is needed-not a cent
will be wasted.
Good will at every hand finds ex-
preston in the letters folks are send
ing into The Tower with their
