that they have the things they've
been wishing for? Wouldn't you get
a real thrill out of that? Like a ma
gician, or a good genii out of a. fairy
book, making wishes come true! Just
because we think you want the per-
sonal touch with these folks who
really need you to make their Christ

a list and descriptions of families
every day for you 20 choose from.
They are listed by number. When
you have chosen the family you
want, call The Times Santa Claus,
Main $500, and the name and address
Of the family will be given.
They Go Fast
The families are being cared Cor so
fast, that the Times Santa gets
plenty of exercise going after new
lists! So call for your family right
away before some one else gets to it.
Here's new list to choose from:
"a. The father of six boys is i'll
in a hospital, and the 6-year-old boy
is in bed with pneumonia. The fam
lily has known better days, but only
the memory of them is left to tide
over these crises. Boys ages are l,
4, s, 8, IL, and IA. The oldest boy
needs a suit, the two next oldest need
other clothing, and basket and little
gifts should be included. Family
Welfare Society has been aiding
these people.
20. This widow with five children
earn their living by washing and
ironing. If hard work and ambitions
for her children bring any reward
there should be a happy Christmas
with extra food and clothing for the
boys, aged 4, 8, 10 and IL and the
girl, 7. The school nurse discovered
their need.
26. Even though grandparents
furnish some of the groceries and
look after the children while she
works, this widow can't make ends
meet on her factory wages. Girls
are 8, 8, 9 and II: boys, and 20
months Family Welfare Society
recommends a basket of food, cloth
ing and toys for the children.
II. The meager wages of a young
widow are the main support of her
widowed mother and the three
younger children, boys of and Z,
and a girl of Is. The older woman
is good manager and stretches
every penny, but the boys need
stockings and underwear, and the
girl would like new shoes and a
game or pieca of needlework. Aided
by Family Welfare Society.
rs. This young man has sick
spine and hip and probably will
be we'll. To make things worse, he
is deaf. His mother is his best
friend, and the Family Welfare So
ciety comes next. He is fond Of
reading and wants more books and
magazines. Good food and delicacies
suitable for semiinvalid will help,
too.
20. A man with only one arm.
and with crippled hand at that,
collects papers and junk to earn a
living for his family. He works hard
against this terrific handicap, but
can't get ahead. There are twin
girls, 10, who need dresses, and a
boy 9, who loves mechanical toys.
The Family Welfare Society says
this family can use almost any sup
plies that may be given them, of food
or clothing.
80. Three boys, aged 7, 10, and
II, were left when their father died
recently, and the mother has only
a small amount Of insurance, She
would appreciate gifts for the boys,
as she has no money for extras.
Recommended by the Family We'll
fare Society.
81. A 15-year-old boy, suffering
from a chronic illness, has been GO
ing to school when he can, and learn
ing typewriting at night from a
kindhearted instructor so he can
work at it when he has to stay home.
There is a .14-year-old girl. The
mother, widow, works in factory.
The Family Welfare Society says the
boy needs a wool shirt and other
clothing, and that any other gifts
to this plucky little family will be
appreciated.
81. Three little folks, the oldest
one a, and another one expected
There is very little in the house
for them. They need more clothing,
and if the toys come their way it
will be from Santa Claus outside
the family. Recommended, for the
children's sake, by the Family Wei
fare Society.
33. A suit of clothes with long
trousers for 14-year-old boy, and
some clothing for his mother, will re-
lieve a definite need in this family of
two, whom the Family Welfare So
-ciety has been aiding. The mother,
though deaf and partially blind,
washes for a living, and the boy
works after school, but there is no
prospect of a merry Christmas with
out some new friends.
