BIG CHRISTMAS AHEAD
FOR FOLK IN HOSPITAL

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. s.
Christmas celebrations will be in
charge of the Red Cross in hospitals
in the Pacific Division where there
are approximately 5000 service or eX-
service men patients. Nine L. s. Vet
erans' Bureau Hospitals, tVo Marine
hospitals, four Naval hospitals, three
Military hospitals and one Soldiers
Home comprise the list.
Every year it has been the custom
of Red Cross Chapters to contribute
generously towards making Christmas
cheerful and happy for the hospital
tied eX-service men, but because some
of the hospitals are less we'll known
, or less accessible than others, they
have not always shared equally in
| Christmas donations. This year, Chap
| ter contributions will be sent direct to
| Division Headquarters ana the whole
divided with view to making the Red
! Cross share in the celebrations as
| nearly equal as possible.
Pacific Division Juniors have always
responded readily to the request from
the Division Director of Junior Activi-
ties to remember lile ulSd bltu men at
Christmas time. The response coming
in from Chapters already indicates
that a larger Junior contribution that
usual is forthcoming. Gifts Of jams,
ielies, fruit and candy are being plan
ned by the Juniors. -
Nor is Christmas the only time
) when the soldier patients are made
: happy by festivities under the direc-
ton of Red Cross workers. Ion Hal
lowe'en a celebration was staged at
Letterman Hospital Red Cross House,
San Francisco, another at Wala Walla
Hospital Walla Walla, Wash, and a
third at Whipple Barracks, Prescott,
Arz Impromptu gatherings at all the
hospitals afford Il great deal of pleas

! rector writes, Eve believe these good
times many of them impromptu gath
