Plan Christmas Charities

AMONG the charitable institutions of
the city in Christmas giving to see
that there are no families missed and
that there are no duplication in bas-
kets of food and other aid given on

that last Christmas some families OBJ
tanned as high as three baskets, with
the chance that some families might
have been missed in the holiday Civ

should name q committee to meet with
the other clubs of the city in planning
Christmas activities and the question
of a kiwanian Christmas tree will be
left with the members of the commit
tee.

tons of the city doing Christmas work.

mas plans despite what might result
