Gifts For Ex-Seruice
Men At Fort Bayard
American Legion Auxiliary Is Pre-
pairing To serd Them Box =
of Christmas Cheer

There are thirty eight men at
Fort Gayard, New Mexico, who are
receiving only a very small COM
pensation and seventeen none at all.
The American Legion auxiliary is
preparing box of Christmas cheer
for those men, and all gifts are to
be brought to the home of DIR.
Helen, Hielscher, not later than
Wednesday evening. All members
of the auxiliary are expected to
contribute and any citizen whether
they are a member or not may send
gift to the disabled soldiers
through this box. 1t is not neces-
sary that the gifts be expensive
ones, but they should be desirable
1t is often best for groups to 60 in
together and get a substantial gift
than for the individual to send a
very small thing.
Handkerchiefs, pocket knives,
slippers, shirts, paiamas, bathrobes,
bedshirts, sleeping caps, etc., are
always good. The box will be sent
to the American Legion represen-
tative at Fort Bayard, James G.
Anderson. For his information a
list of the things contained in each
package should accompany it.
1t is most encouraging to hear
that there are ealy fifty three men
still needing compensation in such
a large sanitarium as Fort Bayard.
