Novel Plan for
Christmas Cheer
BY THE GOOD FELLOW EDITOR

BY THE GOOD FELLOW EDITOR
One splendid system of hand.
ling this Good Fellow business is
for a group to pool their funds,
take over a family or two. and
together bring a great deal of
happiness to persons who other
wise would not have had any
thing for Christmas.
This is being done by a number
of sections in the various Gov
ernment departments, and also
by several SororitieS and clubs,
The financial burden of each of
the Good Fellows is not great
deal, but you can write songs
about the results.
Easiest Way
It is the easiest possible way,
we find, of making a happy
Christmas for families in which
there are large number of chill
dren. Such as, for example, the
family of Mrs. C. L." who writes
us:
Christmas is near and there
is nothing in sight. l am
mother with nine children, the
oldest Is and the youngest 18
months. am out of work.
Father has nothing, so we are
very badly in need o. Good
Fellow.
Sometimes 1 have to send
the children to school hungry,
as we often are without food.
The children need shoes and
my rent is overdue. We are not
on the relief anymore. The chill
dren don't get any milk, and
sometimes we haven't any coal
to keep warm.
'If someone gave us at least
a basket of food for Christmas
we would be so thankful as we
really are in need"
There are three girls in this
family, Is, S, and 3 years old. The
boys ages are IA, IL, II, 9, 7. and

MONEY SOUGHT
FOR SCHOOL

Request has been made by the
District Commissioners for the in
clusion of 100000 item in the
form of a reappropriation in the
1888 fiscal year budget, now being
prepared by the Budget Bureau,
for the acquisition of a site for the
proposed new Jefferson Junior
High School.
The Commissioners have no
definite site in mind, but want
the money available so that it
will be possible to negotiate a pur-
chase in case a reasonable propo-
sition arises.
Suggestions that the school be
erected on the present site of the
Farmer Market or on the Hoover
Fairgrounds tract have been re-
jected. Commissioner Melvin c.
Hazen said the suggestions have
met with vigorous opposition Of
the Southwest citizenry.
Hope of completing purchase Of
the square of land bounded by
Seventh and Eighth, H and I
Streets, for the school is waning.
The District purchased more than
half of the square during the past
six years, but has failed in con-
demnation proceedings and private
negotiations with johnson and
Wimsatt, lumber dealers and own
ers of the remainder of the
property.

day he had asked the Commissioners
to appoint a committee to revise the
Districts tax sale system.

sioner Melvin G. Hazen, president Of

changes in what he described as the
"damnable" system of selling tax
titles to collect delinquent taxes.

on the committee.
The present system, which permits
professional tax title buyers to specu-
late in property on which taxes are IN
arrears, was condemned by Dirksen
recently during hearings on a bill to
gives the District clear title to prop
erty bid in at public auction for de-
linquent taxes. This measure Is now
at the White House awaiting the
signature of President Roosevelt.
Shortly after receipt Of Dirksen's

vision of the law applying to real

for non-payment of taxes and prop
erty owners redemption rights.

sideration plan for appointment Of

~ TX THOUSAND farm women expressed
their sentiments on what the ideal farm
- home should be in recent commercial
contest, 5000 letters on fine papers, school
tablets and wrapping paper which fairly
throbbed with the dreams of contestants,
many of whom no doubt make home of far
more meagre surroundings.
Minnesota entrants expressed prefer
ence for the square colonial type house as
most suitable for a farm dwelling painted
white or cream in contrast to the wooded
surroundings. A two-thirds majority pre-
ferred two story home. The same majority
asked for separate rooms for the hired man,
sun porches, laundry, built-in furniture and
fireplaces. Three fourths insisted on wash
room where the men might clean up after
coming from the field, placing this equal in
Importance with generous cupboard space.
Sewing rooms, coatrooms, storage rooms
and built-in book cases were requested by
half the entrants while only third asked
that the breakfast room now deemed import
ant in city dwellings be duplicated in the
country residence Four bedrooms were gen.
orally specified, the second largest number
requesting five as against the average two in

Christmas Letters

A S YOU glance through the Christmas
~ letters which The Gazette is publishing
4 = in connection with it's annual santa
Claus Service" try to picture the great care
taken to write each letter as neatly and cor
rectly as possible. Imagine the screwed-up
face of the writer as he tolls with spelling,
grammar and penmanship all in one lesson
and at the same time remembers not to be
too piggish, to wish for things for brothers
and sisters and friends and poor boys and
girls, besides offering thanks for Santa's
generosity the previous year.
We wish it were economically possible
to reproduce some of these letters not in cold
type but in the blurred pencil scratching
which the linotype operators and the judges
struggle to make out. They vouch for the
lack of sophistication of the senders, the
idealistic, earnest sentiments of childhood.
What adult could fail to enjoy reading them
Not new or original in any sense, we
like nevertheless to think of our annual
Christmas letter contest as an institution
for the development of happy, generous,
charitable thoughts at Christmas time. We
hope ever child not only gets the presents,
up to limit of perhaps six, which he so
faithfully wishes for but he grasps also the
meaning of the Christmas thought that it is
more blessed to give than to receive.
