THE VICTORY GIRLS

The Holidays are ever now ane
pleasant is the memory. The spirit
of Christmas was manifested grand
y, nobly, splendidly. Through the
agency Of our great charitable and
philantha9pie societies It functioned
With easy grace making light the bur
dens OF 55.e weary. bringing hope and
cheer to 5he daWneas5 and diseonsolate
and be owing material blessings on

Of err race
# a1ity means love in action and
il lova IS a ruling passion and charity
a thy virtue. then the attention
given to them at Christmas time by
these Great organizations is not wholly
in vain and we'll may we give them
the praise and commentator that IS
due them.
Bot there is another-a smaller
arinv-that marches with less pomp
but With equal glory and Of that rise
to speak. I refer to the Italian
Victory Girls Society of this city.
That society is composed of twenty
five young ladies all OF Whom are OF
Italian extraction. It's members took
care of nineteen needy families here
during the holiday season, eXpendlng
the sum Of $4,000 to furnish them
with food, clothing and fuel. During
the year 1927 the further sum of
S274.00 was expended by them for
charitable purposes.

be, but e We're given Just one guess

Somehow or other the members OF
that society have the idea that nun

These letters cover wide range Of
public opinion, coming from business

fraternal orders, as we'll as church
groups and, according to Mr.. Deiano
