A MERRY
CHRISTMAS TO ALL

The work of bringing Merry
Christmas to many children and
families where Santa Claus is most
liable to overlook is being splendid
ly handled. The Elks' club who have
made this an annual affair are join
ed this year by the Kiwanis club and
the two organizations have Joined
in a systematic effort to see that
none are overlooked. They have
been given some assistance by the
two Scout organizations, and the
Good Samaritan" of the COM
munity, Mrs. R. A. Crump who is
every ready and very efficient in
charity work.
. This community is no different
than other communities, there is al
ways worthy people who have met
with misfortune and are not able to
enjoy the blessings of the holiday
season, but the good fellows, of
Payette who find it more blessed to
give than to receive, have brought
happiness to many homes.
The work of finding the homes
and the deserving kiddies and just
what was needed to make real
Christmas was mostly done by Mrs.
Crump, and the children given the
opportunity to express their desires
from Santa Claus which was enyar-
iably very moderate. Some letters
to Santa was also received, from
number of children expressing their
wishes, and none will be disappoint-
ed. One letter in particular was
very touching and brought tear to
the eyes of the most stought hearted.
little fellow in his letter to Santa
Claus, said, "If you will only bring
a coat for mama, you don't need TO
bring me anything" 1t is needless
to say, the coat was furnished, but
the big hearted little chap was not
forgotten.
The committees from the two or
ganizations have been busy evenings
and also most Of the time last Sun
day IN making preparations.
large number of donations have been
contributed, such as good out-grown
toys and games, fruits, potatoes,
chickens and other provisions. Many
toys, dolls, books and games to sup
ply the desires of the kiddies, were
secured by the committee in charge.
The delivery to the homes was made
Christmas eve by Santa Claus from
the organization which included a
basket containing a bountifpl Christ
mas dinner with considerable addi-
tional supplies to each family, and
besides the gift desired, Christmas
bag TO each of the children in the
home. and also as gift from the
Emma Theatre, ticket TO the pic
ture show.
IT is not the desire of these good
fellows to relieve the community or
eanization of their charity work, but
merely a Christmas affair. The
community organization is perpetual
and will endeavor to take care of
the needy at any time of the year.

THE SANE OPINION

There has been some exception
taken to the article in the Enter
prise. advocating the opening of the
pheasant season at an earlier date,
giving as a reason the danger in
shooting apple pickers who would
naturally be at work in the orchards
during the month OF October also
the danger of running the apples. An
other reason given is that at that
time of the year, every one is busy
and no time TO hunt Perhaps the
objection is well taken, but all we
have got to say, is, any man that
will stop to pick apples when he
could hunt pheasants ought TO be
shot
